I can't get on there at the moment, but I remember one of the best articles Liberal Style. Actually the whole series on liberals and "professor values" is great. fake edit: Managed to get on via proxy, this one is amazing: quote:Insisting on a mindless equality, as in "if you have an entry for Beethoven, then you must allow entries for vulgar rap artists!" Liberal Denial is even better, this is the very first one: quote:Liberals deny that human intelligence inevitably and demonstrably declines from generation to generation, and that if there were another 100 generations into the future the people would not be able to understand simple concepts. If anyone thinks it's vandalism or parody, try to edit an article and you'll see how impossible it is to prank them. Most of them are locked down permanently and can only be changed by the site owner, or are only editable at certain hours of the day when admins are around to instantly revert and permaban you.

Comstar posted:Wait, what? Are they saying people in general are getting dumber over time? When do they say humanity was at it's smartest? Yes, their theory (or rather the admin who bans all who disagree) is that humans are getting worse since god cast us out of the garden of Eden. In the atheist style article they chide atheists for "a belief that humans are smarter today than 100, 1,000 or 6,000 years ago". Also a common LIBERAL trick is to say "Kids are getting smarter than old folks." for some reason.

Stalingrad posted:I just find it hillarious that a person studied alongside the present president of the United States (and was magna cum laude, just like Obama), and also has a qualification in engineering, now runs a website that claims kangaroos hopped all the way from turkey to australia 5000 years ago. Being raised by insane, rape apologist parents probably didn't help.

mew force shoelace posted:For some reason this makes me laugh: http://www.conservapedia.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda_%28game%29 From the guy who made its profile page: quote:I am delightfully biased against atheism, agnosticism, and secular humanism. Yes, that makes sense. Their article on the Enlightenment is fantastic as well. quote:The crowning political effect of the Enlightenment was the French Revolution, which culminated in the burning of churches and the beheading of accomplished Frenchmen..

Ah yes, the counterexamples to old earth is where the people getting dumber quote isquote:The intelligence of humans is rapidly declining, whether measured by SAT scores,[17] music, personal letters,[18] quality of political debates,[19] the quality of news articles,[20] and many other measures. e: The citations for this are just statements that those things are getting worse in plain text with no source.

Angry Avocado posted:Because I can't access Conservapedia, I have a question for goons who can: What's the most racist and sexist thing you can find on that site? Here are a few choice sexist statements. It's awkward for me to read too much of the site because I'm in a blocked infidel country too and it's really slow going through proxies. "Modern feminists refuse to accept the innate [gender] differences as an explanation for the underrepresentation of women academics in math and science." "Yet the view that masculinity and femininity are inherent (God-given) traits is disputed by feminists and some other social activists (see Homosexual agenda)." This is the entirety of the Women in Combat article: quote:Women in combat are not only less effective than men, but they reduce the effectiveness of the men they serve with. This has been proven in Poland and in Israel. To be fair to PrBacterio, I think he was referring to the fact that the quote has been picked up and used seriously by other people and is asserted as a fact.

Example of the great work produced by his homeschool students. He gets really mad if you suggest people are any more intelligent today than thousands of years ago  quote:The "no hands" rule can be compared to socialist tax policies.  This must be a parody. Don't US sports have wage caps? That seems more 'socialist' than the stupid free market of European football.

There are 11 year olds who could write better than that. How the gently caress did he get a job?

Angry Avocado posted:This isn't exactly an unknown phenomenom, either. This happens all the time with the Bible and other literary works. Yes, to the point where they actually rewrite the bible to eliminate anything that doesn't fit with their ultraconservative, American exceptionalist viewpoint. Do they really think Jesus would approve of ruthless capitalism and destruction of social safety nets? (hint: they do).

I wonder what 'grade level' most conservapedia articles are written at? How do you even assess such a thing? Also, I don't know about the US but most newspapers here are distinctly right wing or centre-right populist junk.

foobardog posted:When most people are talking about grade level and writing, they are implicitly referring to Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level. It's a basic ballpark estimate of how hard it is to read something based on the number of words per sentence and number of syllables per word. More of either increases the grade level. Ah, thanks for that. I hadn't heard of this before and didn't realise there was an actual formula for calculating it.
