I know how many people like Wikipedia on here...

Main Page - Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page)

So apparently some people (or just one person) finds Wikipedia to be too biased because they use "CE" and "colour"... so now they're trying to make an offshoot. Does this piss anyone else off? I'm so sick of this fake culture war permeating every part of everything.

I'm thinking about going on and writing an article on pot, complete with cited sources and everything, to see what happens.

[LazySmoking420]

conservapedia.com sucks monkey balls.... I searched Marijuana and got nothing.... It's a wiki project for conservative Christianity, social conservatism and American nationalism...

Wikipedia has real info

[GRB.4.Life]

There can be only one Wikipedia!

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Wikipedia's better

[Bob the Awesome]

Oh, I agree. This site sucks. I figure I'd let everyone know so it's ridiculed to hell everywhere before it can get off the ground.

[Frivolous248]

ROFL


Conservapedia is a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American.

This is just...ridiculous.

I can't stand people who get offended.

Also, is it just me, or is it RIDICULOUSLY ridiculous that they stole the wiki layout?

[Bong30]

Wiki to me, is left leaning to say the least, but i like to use it when in Political debate..... like slaying someone with there own sowrd...Cool

[Xhoshi]

i <3 wikipedia.
thats where i get all my day-to-day knowledge of stuff i'm supposed know.

[JaggedEdge]

Lol, there is hardly any information even on that site... How can they call themselves a "pedia?"

[Specialty Cakes]

Good for them! If it makes the conservative pigs happy, let em! If they find joy in they're conservatism and Christian roots theology, who are you to argue? Weed makes you happy in much the same way, and how would you feel when you see people make fun of what we do on this site? Just cause you don't agree is no reason to sink their boat! Not meaning to be a dick, it's just that this sort of thinking kinda pisses me off. vvvvv

[memoryburner]

Thats the stupidest idea ever. A wikipedia for christians because the real wikipedia is "un-christian" and "un-american" yeah...we will see how far this website gets. I tried to create an account so i could make some articles...but its like IMPOSSIBLE to create one.

Well, they didn't exactly steal it, because that's the generic layout for MediaWiki, probably the most common wiki engine out there. :thumbsup:

Actually, the problem I have with this site isn't their own opinions, it's:

1) They contradict themselves. They say Wikipedia is biased, and has a very anglophiliac-based outlook, but goes on to say Conservapedia fixes this by... having an American and Christian basis for writing things? Not agreeing is minor, these people butchered logic and left it for dead upon a large spike.

2) It's going against Wikipedia, and you know how much many of us love our Wikipedia :D

[sam44]

Anyone know how to create an account? You have to log in to edit pages, and there appears to be no way to sign up for an account. Probably their way of controlling the information that reaches people. This site is 10x more biased then Wikipedia. Omg.

American Civil War - Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com/Civil_War)

Look at what it has to say about the Civil War. It sounds like it was written by a child.

The war wasn't even really about slavery and they fail to even mention the entire war was unconstitutional. Wikepidea may not point this out either, but at least their info on it is more than a parapraph... What kind of information is that. The site is useless...

[Bob the Awesome]

Wow, that civil war article is bad... actually, most of the articles on here are poorly made, and have uncited statements everywhere despite the demands on the site's commandments... sad.

And yea, seems to be no way to register, just to log in. I guess they don't want us coming in and injecting our 'bias' (AKA intelligent ideas) into the site... oh well.

[SwirlyMass]

Isn't it funny how people will label something liberal simply because it isn't steadfast to their beliefs.

I'm not defending Conservapedia, and I agree the article is waaay too breif, but the Civil War WAS really about slavery. There were other issues, but slavery was the key to the whole war clear and simple. If you think our country is polarized now, you should read about the sharp division between north and south because of slavery (prior to the war itself).

[rebgirl420]

Some of these republicans make me ashamed of being republican. With all of their crazy religious morality issues. I just hope that everyone knows that there are different kinds of republicans. Ones that are bible thumpers and ones like me who smoke pot and aren't religious.

well then obviously you aren't a proper republican and you should be ashamed of yourself. i'm going to go and call the rnc right now and rat you out. as soon as they find out you're gonna be in big trouble.

Sorry, I just realized I worded that a little wrong. It was about slavery, but it wasn't an ethical descion on Abe Lincolns part. He did not feel everyone was equal and that slavery was wrong. He was pissed because the South had free labor. I just get annoyed at how Lincoln is alway's portrayed with a halo over his head.

In one of his adresses he actually said something along the lines of, not caring if a single black man is freed. My g/f knows the exact quote and am having trouble finding it right now, but will post it later.

On top of the selfish reason for starting the war (not an ethical reason,) he ignored the states rights do declare themselves independent. It was a protected Constitutional right at the time, which he completely ignored. Today only Texas still holds the right to withdraw from the United States.

He is just one of those people in history that annoys the crap out of me. The fact everyone teaches pretty things about him pisses me off. He is this American hero when really all he did was start an unconstitutinal war...

Slavery being abolished, was not his main reason for the war though.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

*runs and flushes my weed*

you shouldn't have done that. the only way to control the ghost of the dreaded arch republican is to get the sucker high. just consider yourself lucky that nancy's not coming too.

[rebgirl420]

Dont forget about the taxes and the fact that the south didnt think that the north had any right to make decisions about a part of the U.S. that they werent even at......*Im majoring as a History teacher at PITT*

Thank you. I really felt lied to when I got out of highschool and realized all the lies they taught me. Is it really hard to teach an unbiased truth...

[delusionsofNORMALity]

Is it really hard to teach an unbiased truth...

the victors write the history books.;) do you really think they'd admit to their sins?

[Skink]

Look like they are just trying to steal something to me...

[JaggedEdge]

Lol, true.

[rebgirl420]

well now a days alot of the teachers are liberal and alot of things are re-written to be fair and politically correct. Its quite sad actually.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

well now a days alot of the teachers are liberal and alot of things are re-written to be fair and politically correct. Its quite sad actually.

these are the new victors, rewriting history once again. i wonder what will be written about us in a hundred years. i suppose it depends on who the victors are by then.

[slipknotpsycho]

i tried lookin up homosexual.. lol just to see what it'd say.. doesn't exist..

then i was going to make a page that would piss off the christians (namely the ones that think the original wiki wasn't enough) but i'd have to sign up and i don't want that to do it that much..

Slavery being abolished, was not his main reason for the war though.

I agree with you up until the last sentence. Slavery was his main reason for the war. As soon as the South attacked, he responded. The stimuli for the South attacking was slavery.

[Bob the Awesome]

The way I understand it, the Civil War was fought over a number of different things, slavery being one of the major reasons. But Lincoln didn't really care about freeing the current slaves at first, he was a Free Soiler, the group which merely opposed the expansion of slavery. After the war began anti-slavery groups began working to make abolition a war goal.

It's funny, you all say you learned in grade school that the war was fought over Slavery as an example of bias, at my grade school we learned that slavery wasn't a factor at all... I'm dead serious.

And Rebgirl, I know all Republicans aren't like this, I didn't mean to imbue an anti-Republican tone into this thread. My former Congressman gone Bush's Cabinet - Rob Portman - was awesome. However, I'd be careful, the RNC is becoming steadily more evangelical and polarized, and they would NOT take kindly to your pot smoking '>>

[rebgirl420]

yeah Bob I know, I dont really agree with much of any party really except the libertarian party however its the lesser of two evils for me, I dont like either but I like the republicans more. Im pretty liberal socialy like gay marriage, pot, abortion and religion but im conservative with guns, capitalism, anti welfare and war.

[Matt the Funk]

Wikipedia=life.....

[Canadien.]

I enjoy the fact that ...and this is in general...
purely because I am not one who believes in the Christian faith,
automatically I am anti-Christian.

This is not the case.

In fact, I've had Christian girlfriends, many Christian friends...
I went to catholic school for three years, and that never bothered me
(aside from some of the things mentioned in religion class I disagreed with).

And yet I, purely a philosopher, am labeled as anti-Christian or in more extreme cases a Satanist.

They wonder why people think they're nuts? Maybe if you stopped telling me I was evil,
I'd take you a little more seriously.

And Wikipedia is written by just about anyone who can access the internet.
It's guidelines demand that while stating facts and theories, politically
correct terminology that is generally approved by the collective majority must be used.

Fucking tards...

Holy crap, you share almost the exact same beliefs I do <<' Almost. That's amazing. Yea, I too, identify best with the libertarian party, at least socially-wise. Can't catch their drift on economics though.

I consider myself an independent moderate really. The main reason I dislike the Republican party is the evangelical wing of it. I consider both major parties right-wing though, both have authoritarian taints in their own ways.

Damn, I'm the same way on all those issues. I'm registered republican because I usually find the Republican canidate more worthy of my vote. I consider myself middle of the road though.

Yeah there were many reasons, but slavery WAS the main reason. I learned the same thing as you in grade school. Not until I went to college for my bachelor's degree did I understand how it really went down. Lincoln gets way too much credit for his opposition to slavery... he wasn't the same kind of activist as others of the time like William Lloyd Garrison. He was the one that said regarding Lincoln that he "had not a drop of anti-slavery blood in his veins."

[Oneironaut]

They're mad at Wikipedia because they perceive it as anti-conservative and anti-Christian. I find this funny because Wikipedia is largely filled with accurate factual statements. This implies that accurate facts are enough to disprove both conservatism and Christianity. Which, of course, they do.

This is EXACTLY true. I find it funny that people find some articles to have a liberal bias simply because it's true. The Marijuana/Cannabis article is a perfect example of this. People were concerned it was too "pro-marijuana" when in fact it just turned out everything was true, it's just that some people's preconceived notions were wrong. I love it!
