I can't imagine they are.
Ugh, I've been to this site before and I just thought, "get a life, people". And I'm conservative! :eew:

And some people believe humans are equal. We are all equally good, productive and smart. It simply is not so. Some people are smarter than others. Some people are more energetic than others. Some people are more beautiful than others. Some people are more virtuous than others. Equality is a pipe dream.

It sounds like a cross between Wikipedia and the Onion.

Excellent satire!


while there has always been talk of the relevance of "poe's law" to conservapedia, there is no more proof for it actually being satire than there is for glenn beck being a more committed stephen colbert. these people are as serious as answersingenesis and andrew breitbart.

i'm not sure if you're trying to say it's related to wikipedia or just that it's "a wiki." i assure you it is neither. it's not affiliated with wikipedia and there are rather strict controls that limit people from updating it. there's even been a lot of in-fighting among the creators/contributors.

Metapedia is far worse than conservapedia, although it is not entirely the same.

Let every kind of wingnut broadcast their insanity, so that we could wake up and learn not to take freedom for granted.

Hi all, just heard about this wonderful site

http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page

I simply cannot believe the rubbish written in it, the writers of this thing have absolutely no idea of what evidence is, or what the scientific method is either. I find it frightening that people read this tripe and take it seriously! Are these people aware of just how ridiculous they are!

Particularly entertaining reads are the big bang theory, evolution and homosexuality.


I <3 that site :oops:

Okay so some people are genetically and situationaly superior. But don't underestimate the fact that we all have an amazingly powerful and complex brain at our disposal. In the animal kingdom comparing people is like comparing billionaires.

That statement is unsupportable, you could say that our worth is indeterminate but thats kind of silly as someone would probably be willing to do it. It would be better to say we our all equally worthy of the Opportunity and Resources to be successful.

No, a human life is a human life. I am as of much worth as a human being as Bill Gates. But at the same time, the homeless person who has to degrade himself by eating out of dumpsters is of the same worth as me - or Bill Gates. Otherwise, the NTs who see us Aspies as less than them may very well be right, and I refuse to accept that.

Only if you accept their notions concerning value, and a human life isn't just a human life. A human life has its own traits that distinguishes it from another human life.
