Weird formatting

Why create the whole nice table format and then break it up with H3 headings? It'd be wonderful it it were a sortable table for each season. FᴜᴢᴢʏCᴀᴛPᴏᴛᴀᴛᴏ, Esϙᴜɪʀᴇ (talk/stalk) 21:06, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

It's to allow easy permalinks and edit links for epidoes. It was a sortable list before, and I spent a lot of time mucking about getting permalinks in that (which eventually worked) but could never get a workable "edit" link. It was a pain editing one or two small details for an individual episode. I eventually decided that a sortable list wasn't *that* much of an advantage...

Some 9/11 truthers are "good guys" because their motives are patriotic?

Why is patriotism 'good' and not bullshit itself? Scherben (talk) 02:13, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Huh, it also doesn't sound very patriotic to cast the U.S. government as directly responsible for killing its own citizens. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Episode 3.5 missing

I noticed that Showtime no longer has episode 3.5, or the one about Mother Theresa and friends, available on streaming. Is it just my region (west coast usa)? Has any one else noticed this? I like to think that there is a conspiracy of some kind here, but most likely Showtime got tired of the massive loads of hate mail this episode must generate.

A bit of internet searching revealed nothing at all except the episode page is still on the Showtime website. That said, I don't really know how to find information on this sort of thing. Lgs (talk) 08:04, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

"World Peace"

I apologize if this is a frivolous request, but would anyone have the verdict to that one episode about "World Peace"? I actually saw that episode a couple times; and according to both it and its official synopsis on Wikipedia, the episode states how the chances of there being a "utopian world peace" are close to zero (although they're also against preemptive war and such), how the United Nations is potentially corrupt, and how the best ways to achieve world peace is with free trade and economic interdependence. I apologize that I, myself, haven't done any real research on the topic, although at the moment I'm tempted to say that the verdict will either be Partial Bullshit! or Mostly Bullshit!. Two of the partial reasons why is that one, I assume that diplomacy would play a key role in establishing peace, as well as economic interdependence. And two, they briefly but jokingly claimed that "Hitler was a socialist", although I'm positive that regular Socialism and Nazism (its technical term being National Socialism) are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. --The-Psychid (talk) 01:00, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Confirmed Bullshit?

I apologize for not bringing this up sooner, but there have been some recent verdicts to this page that are certified as Bullshit!, but they seem to be made by unregistered users. (I think the ones, as of this message, are covering Manners, Prostitution, and Self-Esteem, in that order.) Are they actually considered Bullshit!, or would this be considered vandalism? --The-Psychid (talk) 17:36, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
