I doubt conservapedia is actually written by conservatives. It's like Stephen Colbert- he's not actually conservative, but he acts like it and also like an idiot to make fun of conservatives.

Edit: It calls itself "The Trustworthy Encyclopedia." This is an alarm bell for me. Going on.

Edit: Well I do agree with it, at least, about Hate speech laws, being an advocate of free speech.

Edit: Here we go, Hate crimes page. Noone actually thinks that. Seriously.

Edit: OK, maybe it's foudned by some of the nuttier ones of us :/

Never think we all think this stuff....

I'm really confused now but I think you were joking when you said that you supported hate speech. You really scared me for a moment there.

It's not that I support Hate Speech, t's that I'm against the government arresting people for it- because I believe it's not the gov's job to get into that kind of thing. You see, there's a little quote, lemme find it.
"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" -Voltaire
I very much disagree with HAte Speech- but arresting people for having racist views leads to such atrocities as this.

Exactly. Personally I believe in free speech, no matter how stupid or offensive that speech is; and if somebody says something to you that is offensive, you're welcome to swear at them and insult them back, but having them arrested crosses the line.

I mentioned this guy earlier but his site had been replaced with a single page. His videos are still on Youtube.

From his 44 part video series Marko Rodin's vortex-based mathematics you can see this billboard of claims:



It's worth watching the first video (4mins) or even just a little of it.

Genius or something else?

I know this is wrong of me, but I'm pretty sure groundbreaking physicists don't wear wife-beaters.

Can you believe some of them? They think you can get infinite energy from water, or use mushrooms for wood. They're crazy.

Mushrooms have a crazy number of uses.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Just found what is probably the pinnacle of internet crackpots. I think it's connected to this and this.

Those are obvious parodies. Nobody could believe that.

Honestly, I think everybody is actually trolling us. Like, you take off the Conservapedia guy's face and you'll see that his skull is in the shape of a trollface.

You know, it's going to get to the stage of WW3, and we all get conscripted into a cross-nation special squad, and it turns out to be all the nations just trolling us guys. And girls, too.

Don't forget the 700 Club, Pat Robertson's personal nuthouse. Link goes to wiki page, to avoid giving them ad revenue. :P
