Mapping America Project

This may be better off at the bar, but I first found it through CP's pimping the "study" A quick look online shows a lot of right wing sites trumpeting this new study from the Mapping America Project which concludes that kids who grow up in two parent homes and go to religious services weekly are five times less likely to repeat a grade, more likely to be cooperative and understanding of others’ feelings, more likely to cure cancer and fly etc etc etc. Thinking this would be an interesting study, I looked for the original source, which brought me to this POS website. I personally loved this little bit, from their about us section "Mapping America's purpose is to demonstrate,through data from major surveys, mainly U.S. federal surveys, that the intact married family that worships weekly is the greatest generator of human goods and social benefits and is the core strength of the United States. Mapping America is a project of the Family Research Council." I'm sure that's a reliable source there.... But not wanting to judge, I looked at the study itself, which consists of a 2 page PDF file where a good 75% is either the header and logo, a huge chart that means nothing and about three sentences.... You'd think they would at least fake scientific format. SirChuckB^{A product of Affirmative Action} 12:03, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

You're looking at it wrong; it's not a woefully inadequte study with a predetermined conclusion, it's consise. Z3ro^talk 12:06, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

The PDF made my browser freeze. That's always a good sign. Vulpius 12:22, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

I came up with similar results while researching for my sociology papers last year. Like homeschooling, all feedback you can find for this type of thing is extremely positive.--Nate River 12:31, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Wow! So they have the same attitude to research as they do to religion. "There is a god!" "Where's the proof?" "Waddaya mean, proof? It's written right here..." --PsyGremlin_Whut? 12:35, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

I'm half tempted to use the "contact us" feature to send an email and ask for detailed information on their study, you know, methodolgy(sp?) control, what type of surveys were used that fun stuff..... I love pre-determined conclusions. SirChuckB^{A product of Affirmative Action} 12:54, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Usually with these types it is just interviews with parents. Lies and exaggerations all round--Nate River 14:13, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

You've just got to love a chart which exaggerates small differences in totally unexplained measurements. God fearing families score 50.7 MegaMickeyRoonies, whereas godless heathen liberals score a mere 48.4. 12:58, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

It's not so clear from the chart that the data stand for any proposition at all, as people who attend church less than monthly are better behaved than those who attend less than weekly/at least monthly, but less well behaved than those who go to church weakly. Stupid graph with shitty data and dumb conclusions. Thee Nuttish ^Talk 13:07, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

I take that back. The data are good. If your parents force you to go to church, you're clearly better off the less frequently you go, will rebel if forced to go more than once monthly, and will finally become numbed out if forced to go weekly. Thee Nuttish ^Talk 13:14, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Hmmm...let's see. Graph seems....like a graph. Dependent axis seems good, churchgoing attendance by week, by month, etc., all seems reasonable there. Now, independent axis. Hmmmm.....(MPRS) Mean Positive Relationship Score is completely undefined. Hmmm...check footnote...mmmm....no explanation of MPRS... OK, fancy colourful chart is completely meaningless gibberish. DogP 13:17, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

The Actual FRC Doc

Here [1]. Essentially, single parent families have more problems. Religious kids have fewer problems at school (because they're controlled at home). Can I get a duh? What in god's name is this study? Then you get page 18, which shows NO correlation, yet they claim it does! 13:18, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

From page six "Children who attended religious services at least monthly have a much lesser chance of repeating a grade than those who attended religious services

weekly or not at all." this sentence should be taken out and shot. SirChuckB^{A product of Affirmative Action} 13:50, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Also, thanks for the full link Publius... I love how the whole thing is meaningless charts with no real information given. For example, they talk about repeating grades, but they don't take into account something like parental refusal. Parents can refuse to make their kid repeat and force their continuation. Also, are these repeats do to poor study skills leading to bad grades, or did they have large blocks of days missed... SirChuckB^{A product of Affirmative Action} 13:54, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

The "statistics" show over 50% of all kids in America go to church once a week. Is that remotely accurate? Toffeeman 08:17, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

The authors have PhDs?! If I had handed in work that shoddy even for an undergrad course, it would have been handed back for complete revision, if not just outright failed. Just four pages of text with no real discussion, no concise conclusions, and a big pile of 25 disconnected graphs dumped at the end that have meaningless titles, inflated axes, and no statistics, while drawing concrete conclusions from differences of down to 0.5 units or less on undefined scales, ignoring differences that don't fit their preconceived mold, and not considering any interfering variables or spurious connections, plus four tables, three of which I don't see as being even remotely relevant to what they're trying rather pathetically to say. And what's up with the author bio that takes up an entire page? Accounting for spacing, it's half as long as the article text itself! "Look at all the big important-sounding stuff I've done- so you should believe this study too!!" Kallium^talk 11:58, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

This made me chuckle...

I'm pleased that TK removed the parole on one of my socks. Now I have less to worry about. --Irrational Atheist 17:55, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

You're not fooling anyone here with that liberal deceit, Irrational Atheist. You'll have to go to Wikipedia for that. tealish^??!!!1 21:21, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

"Tealish" (I notice how you hide behind an alias), you're doing everything except basing your analysis on translating, analyzing and quoting the Bible. I've responded to your concerns and answered your questions and you say in several places "data not shown", so it's obvious to me you're insane from San Francisco values. And you persist in denying the obvious truth that homeschooling reduces autism. Got news for you: abortion causes breast cancer. By the way, if you're "a really happy guy," you're a lucky one, like the smoker who lives to his 80s. Many atheists (and smokers) are not so lucky. Go elsewhere if you seek to be deceitful.--aschlafly 09:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Sore loser!

When will the headlines on CP represent what a sore loser Al Franken Norm Coleman is? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30199310/ --Irrational Atheist 01:06, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

I've been following that story for a while, full of ironic lulz from Norm's past statements pushing a severe contrast to his current actions, like this one when he was up in votes, and is now appealing like a baby constantly. Sort of like back when Ted Stevens was indicted for corruption charges - CP made just one remark about the whole thing (Karajou made a post saying Stevens will fight the charges) and quickly clammed up. I'll expect them to make some sarcastic congratulations to Franken saying he won by fraud. Norseman^{Cyser Melomel} 11:52, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

You mean sort of like when Al Gore and then John Kerry lost? Who cares? In any hotly contested race someone is going to be disappointed and complain. Jrssr5 12:52, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

The difference here is that Coleman and the Republican acknowledge that they're not going to win. Coleman has already taken a private sector job and has begun. He's just being a dick because it keeps another Democrat out of the Senate. If the Senate really wanted to force it, they could seat Franken, but it would just be more ammunition for the GOP. SirChuckB^{A product of Affirmative Action} 13:17, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

The site is... er...

Heavens! 8 events since editing opened 3 hours ago, including 1 vandal & revert, 1 block, 2 articles moved and Jess fiddling in her box. --PsyGremlin_Whut? 10:30, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Their inactivity has a knock on effect here too. Earlier I clicked on our Recent changes and was surprised to see not a single edit in any of our CP articles in the last 50 changes. Normally at least (insert Schlafly statistic here)% of the recent changes would be to do with CP.

Is Jessica old enough to be making innuendo comments about her, by the way? I need to know whether the mental image I may have had was appropriate. Bondurant 10:38, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

She's a schoolteacher, so yes. Educated cubic Phantom Hoover! 10:43, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Come on, let's make it official

Celebrate with a boycott? Especially as Ken is over here badgering for attention. Bondurant 11:16, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Sorry but I really don't think it's dead yet. Not looking healthy though. It raises an interesting point though. How do we judge when it's dead? When it stops responding altogeather? When it averages (say) less than 50 edits a day for more than 1 week? Or should it be to do with page views? I wonder if we could agree a criteria. Good fun just the same. StarFish 11:19, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

One days lack of edits does not necessarily mean CP is dead. Andy and the rest could be off making preparations for tomorrow's teabagging events. MDB 11:26, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

It is quite boring over there of late. Nothing they do or say is particularly surprising any more - they ticked the batshit crazy box ages ago. There are no conflicts between sysops, as the so-called "reasonable" ones have been driven away. There are hardly any casual editors any more and the parodists seem to have given up. Ken's shoutouts harldy cause a ripple any more.

Andy drip feeds us the occasional "insight" to keep us going, and Jinx being de-sysopped was entertaining for a short while. So maybe it's not dead, but it's like an old dog, who's back legs and eyesight are failing and who can hardly make it out the back door before peeing on the kitchen floor. Bondurant 11:42, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

(ec)CP won't die until Andy pulls the plug, which he won't unless an order comes down from his mother because it is embarrassing Eagle Forum, which is unlikely because her and her organization are batshit anyways. He'll keep "teaching" his lousy online classes, and the six or so people they have will keep doing their thing. They can hobble along on life support for quite some time. Corry^{I've made a huge mistake.} 11:49, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

There needs to be another Lenski redux or something, as CP is just tottering along these days with the same old shit. I think even TK is getting bored that nothing spectacular is happening. Norseman^{Cyser Melomel} 11:57, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Well, the first one was for Karajou, 'cos that's what I made the template for. Without looking, I don't know what the other ones were celebrating, but I suspect only the ones on this page were celebrating the death of conservapedia proper. --JeevesMkII ^{The gentleman's gentleman at the other site} 12:43, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

I may call myself an otaku in jest, but Ed is posing. Is posing to be an anime geek lower on the social foodchain than diehard otakus? Maybe he misunderstood that "moonies" in otaku are Sailor Moon fans?--Nate River 21:28, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

LOL to creepy. "ne" seems to be used mostly by gossiping women, expanded out 3 or 4 "syllables" long.--En attendant Godot_{"«Oh, my Lolita, I have only words to play with! V.Nabokov»} 08:04, 18 April 2009 (EDT)

Obscene User Name

Many people have been blocked for a lot less so how come CPWebmaster creates an account for User:FooBar? Surely he knows that FooBar is just an alternative spelling for FUBAR - Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition.  Lily ^{Ta, wack!} 15:20, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Well, you can say that to try to get him in trouble, but it's not true, and all that. Foo and bar are just stock characters in the programmer's palette... ħuman 16:35, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

You may say that now but where do you think they got the names in the first place? Programmers like to push the boundaries.  Lily ^{Ta, wack!} 12:30, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

According to WP, foobar did not come from fubar. --  Nx/talk  12:34, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

It was a still from the Columbine cafeteria showing the killers. The caption stated they were evolutionst atheists and it was briefly placed on the Evolution page. Just plain loathsome. Ace McWicked^{bitch and moan} 20:28, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Only Ken would think of exploiting a tragedy for his eviloution article. He really makes me sick sometimes. The Emperor_{Kneel before Zod!} 20:31, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Wow! Ken is just... wow! Is there any way for Trent to put sound into the background of certain pages? It would be great to hear the Looney Tunes theme (or something equally appropriate) anytime I go to User:Newton or User talk:Newton. --Edgerunner⁷⁶_{Your views are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter} 20:35, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

The notebook of one of the Columbine killer says, "only science and math are true, everything, and I mean every fucking thing else is man made" and "there’s no such thing as true good or true evil, it’s all relative to the observer. its just all nature, chemistry, and math, deal with it". It is irrational to cut off inquiry into the motivations for his murder by labeling such inquiries "loathsome". Mega 20:39, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

On the contrary Mega, not only do I find it loathsome that someone would use a tragedy such as this to make political/religious point but I find revolting, disgusting, distrubing and fucking appaling. Ace McWicked^{bitch and moan} 20:57, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Just because someone misinterprets science into a motivation for murder does not affect the credibility of evolution. The Emperor_{Kneel before Zod!} 20:47, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

It is on of Ken's typical argument from adverse consequences. He is trying to link the theory of evolution to the shooting so he can say "see evolution causes bad thing to happen and therefore it is wrong" or a weaker "see evolution causes bad thing to happen and therefore we should not teach it in schools". You have to understand what he is trying to achieve with this stunt, mostly it is for attention, but also he is trying to minimise the teaching of evolution in school at a "grassroot" level. - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 20:51, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

The truth value of evolution notwithstanding, it might be the case that human beings require a belief in eternal consequences to moderate their behavior, and there could be a correlation between a lack of such belief and an increased incident of violence. Mega 20:53, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

While it is certainly true that people have interpreted evolution to mean rascism and used it for their purposes, it is equally true that you could say the same of everything and that the adverse concequences do not outweigh the advantages. Back on point, Ken is indeed a sicko. Just wish I could have copied it into my custom kenpics. --<choose>

I think what he means is regardless of their beliefs, whether in evolution or otherwise, they were unable to control their behaviour. I am an atheist but I dont use this to justify killing someone. Ace McWicked^{bitch and moan} 21:20, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

(EC and agree with Ace)I was referring to Mega's comment that humans need an external force to moderate their behaviour, I was handing out my opinion that people should moderate their own behaviour because it is good for them. If you flick back to WIGO you will see something about liberalism being a mental disorders; the argument in the book basically runs, liberals want everything controlled by the state, a child has everything controlled by their parents, so a liberal want the state to substitute for their parents, which is unhealthy as you are not growing up and controlling your own life. Only 2 and 4 have any psychological backing, point 1 and 3 are his own attempt a pseudo-political science. But the other two points are sound in that you by not controlling your own behaviour and are expecting someone else to do it for you, so you are not growing up. You could just as easily argue that people who need an external belief system to moderate their behaviour have a mental disorder as they expect their "sky daddy" to look after them. - User $\scriptstyle h/2\hbar$ 21:27, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

That's a weirdly popular argument with religious nuts: "If Jesus wasn't watching me like a hawk, I'd be on a three-state rape and murder spree RIGHT NOW." Strange how people like me who don't believe gOD cares much about what we somehow still manage to avoid murder, arson and looting on a daily basis. --Gulik 14:16, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

First of all, on an actual search you are still 14, that exactfactor stuff is bullshitting you.

Pardon, but what is "newuserlog", i.e., what purpose does it serve and why would getting rid of it cause this new message? --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 04:35, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

Newuserlog... logs new users. :P No, seriously, it does. It's responsible for those "(New user) Name" entries in the Recent Changes both here and on CP (and also for the New User Log). Without it, new users registered silently: You didn't know that they had registered unless you checked the global user list (which gets LONG after a while) or the user made an edit. --Sid 07:09, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

Could be completely wrong here, but I'm guessing that the newuserlog broke the site because they removed it incorrectly. The php code still contains a require_once() call to load te newuserlog module, but it's not there anymore. And if the require() php calls fail, they fail fatally. It's called require() after all, not it_may_be_nice_to_load_this_module_but_if_some_nimkepoop_deleted_it_then_thats_fine_too(). --GTac 07:28, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

It was not really mandatory, but some distributors would not sell comics without CCA approval.--Nate River 11:02, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

I think there was a Spiderman issue in the 80's which dealt with drug use (Bad! Bad! Bad!), and couldn't get CCA approval. Marvel put it out anyway, just left off the CCA indicia. Lo, and behold, western civilization didn't end, and the earth didn't crash into the sun. Go figure. Jimaginator 11:25, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

The CCA was a lot like the ratings board for movies. Having a movie rated isn't technically mandatory, but without it, you'll have a hard time getting it out to the public. SirChuckB^{A product of Affirmative Action} 11:35, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

It was an issue of Spider-Man, but from the late Sixties or early Seventies. Basically, Harry Osborn, a supporting character, was despondent about the state of his life (finding out your father is the insane supervillain the Green Goblin will do that to you) and bought some otherwise unidentified pills from a shady looking fellow, took the pills, and nearly attempted suicide as a result. The story (rather obviously written by someone who knew nothing about the drug culture) was completely anti-drug, but the CCA said "no portrayal of drug use of any kind, you don't get our seal." Stan Lee. Spider-Man writer and editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics then, said "we don't care, this is a valuable story, we're publishing it." There was no notable change in sales, and the CCA was changed to allow negative portrayals of drug use. Not much later, DC Comics printed a much stronger anti-drug story in Green Lantern/Green Arrow (Green Arrow learned his former sidekick Speedy was a heroin addict), and it was published with the CCA seal. At least one of the two stories received a letter of commendation from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (or whatever the equivalent was at the time.) MDB 12:56, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

"Speedy was a heroin addict." ... Green Arrow should've seen that coming, really. Barikada 13:38, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

Block Reasons

The drop-down menu for block-reason at CP includes this little marvel, introduced by cp:User:Karajou:

Abuse of legitimate ISP for trolling / vandalism purposes

And not only Karajou is using this «reason», but TK, too.

So, they acknowledge that an ISP is legitimate, but block its whole range nonetheless because they are annoyed by one editor?

WTF? larron^{sicut fur in nocte} 14:52, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

What's to be surprised about? They still haven't unblocked all the guard dog errors. Carpet bombing legit ISPs is hardly noteworthy, even if they are admitting it. Z3ro^talk 15:41, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

When I read TK's sandbox3, I thought it was directed to his fellow sysops who may be a little bit concerned by the blocking spree. This blocking of legitimate ISPs should disquiet them even more. larron^{sicut fur in nocte} 16:17, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

AlanE, Guard Dog and Andy

When the guard dog went rabid, Andy unblocked a few editors (JY23, JM10), stating: guard dog mistake. Other users were unblocked, too, but had to read possible guard dog mistake. AlanE belongs to the latter group, and he seems to be somewhat miffed:

Yesterday early afternoon, my time, I couldn’t get on to CP to edit. It seems us peasants were locked out for some reason. So instead of doing the editing I had intended I decided to catch up on something I have been meaning to do since I read PJR’s “essay” on aSK – that is, list and wikify the contributions for the month or so before Andrew Schafly found my work so “unimpressive”. I probably would have stuck them here without comment except for the fact than when Guarddog’s block was reverted by Andy “yesterday” he said Guarddog was only possibly wrong – that after getting on towards 80,000 words of major substantive edits it seems I am still looked upon as a “possible” threat to this site - vandal (I note also that in early October, with over 30,000 words of new info already done, I was called a “stranger”.)

The original request for night editing rights - made purely for the good of the site; something that seemed not to occur to Andy - has disappeared. (Of course.) I do have it on Word document however and can resubmit it.

That said, I will now get about trying to remember what it was I was going to edit yesterday. A reply from Mr. Schafly would be appreciated.

And in an answer to TK, he states:

Terry - it's not that. I'm a dog lover from way back, and they occasionally make a mess. It's everything else. You know I'm not a vandal. So does JM. So do every senior Admin I've spoken to.

Except Andy.

Yesterday, I not only did a word count of my edits, I did a word count of the, um, "non-opinion" edits of various others. Even Jpatt's hagiographies didn't come close to the amount of new input I had done that month. In fact, if you take away the copy-and-pastes of countries and art and US ships and that sort of thing, I have probably contributed more new old-fashioned encyclopedic uncontroversial information to this site than any other editor. If you go just a day either side of the offending "athletics" to "sports" edit, (24rd, I think) I did major new articles totalling over 1500 words.

I made my night-editing request so I had more time to do more work. That's all. No other reason. After all, midnight there is 2PM here in September (and now). I was amazed when I couldn't get it. I was even more amazed at the reason - which I only found out recently, and which made me angry, for obvious reasons.

Cheers AlanE 19:26, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

He seems to ignore RJJensen's contributions, but otherwise, he proves a well-known point, again: Aschlafly doesn't care about the quantity and quality of your contributions: If he made up his mind about you, any action contradicting his imagination has to be deceit. And the reason that AlanE doesn't get night-editing rights, well, that seems to be the same thing that happened to User:HelpJazz.

Actually, almost all the founders of RW tried to legitimately contribute over there. Although "fully supporting the cause" is a bit wibbly, since they supported making an encyclopedia for homeschoolers and others, rather than a blog for Andy. So they might not have supported the real mission over there. --Kels 16:47, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

What I meant by fully supporting the cause, was recognizing that it intended to be a Conservative, Christian encyclopedia and contributing to those viewpoints with admitted but unashamed bias. Clearly most RW users are liberal. tealish^??!!!1 18:07, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Theory of Relativity

Aschalfy World History Lecture Eleven includes a segment on the Theory of Relativity. As editor ShmuelB states: This section is full of strange mistakes.

When I read such statements like Unlike most advances in physics, the theory of relativity was proposed based on mathematical theory rather than observation. The theory rests on two postulates (assumptions) that are difficult to test, and then derives mathematically what the physical consequences should be. or Contrary to public perception, the theory of relativity had nothing to do with the development of the atom bomb or any other technology. Only one Nobel Prize (in 1993) has ever been given that relates to relativity, and the validity of that particular award is questionable., I was reminded of the following:

Einstein's theories of relativity were essentially nothing but a conglomeration of artificial equations, based on arbitrary definitions and transformations of the coordinates of time and space. [..] Though the theoretical literature piled up into big mountains, it hasn't given any important insight into the reality of physics.my translation, sorry....

Another text by Aschlafly? No, that was Johannes Stark, at the opening of the Philipp-Lenard-Institute in Heidelberg in 1935.

Aschlafly as a proponent of the Deutsche Physik? He should be more considerate...

larron^{sicut fur in nocte} 13:41, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Copernicus's heliocentric theory was based on mathematics at first. Then they invented telescopes and found out he was right.

(undent)ListenerX: Einstein's Nobel prize was for his work on the photoelectric effect (quantum mechanics), not for anything he did on relativity. alt 15:25, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

I thought his photoelectric-effect stuff was heavily influenced by his work on the special theory of relativity, which he developed around the same time? ListenerX^TalkerX 15:33, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

It was around the same time as he developed special relativity (may even have been the same year, if memory serves) but they're not related at all. alt 18:57, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

I'm truly at a loss - what is Schlafly's beef with Einstein and relativity and why does he continue to insist there's a connection between STR or GTR and his conception of moral relativity? I'm not asking specifically what his criticisms are but why he even cares. What further purpose is there to arguing against STR or GTR? Thee Nuttish ^Talk 14:04, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Usual rubbish being spouted by Aschlafly about relativity, nothing new here, and it's been discussed dozens of times in the past. I feel sorry for his students, who may never come to appreciate the true elegance of the theory and the great leaps taken by Einstein in coming to them. Listener, Einstein's Nobel prize was to do with the photoelectric effect, not for relativity. Bondurant 14:42, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Roux--you answered your own question, I think. It's all about his need for moral and theological absolutes. If the cosmos are relative, it becomes harder for him and his tiny mind to argue for the kind of always-the-same god and morality he needs. Also, I've been re-watching the Ken Burns "Jazz" doc, and everytime I see your name here I'm reminded of Wynton Marsalis likening the blues' role in jazz to the roux in gumbo--without the roux, you may have a happening soup, but you don't have gumbo. TheoryOfPractice 14:17, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Anyone else notice that Andy blames Stalin's policies for Russia's problems with alcoholism in this same "lecture"? Andy evidently never read much about Russia under the Tsars if he thinks Russian alcoholism is a post-revolutionary problem (indeed, as I recall, the final spark for the 1905 revolution was a crowd panicking over the idea that there wouldn't be enough free vodka at a royal function). Kaalis 15:41, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

"Andy evidently never read much about" is a fun beginning to a sentence, because no matter what you put after it, it's true! 16:06, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Touche. I guess that brings up a pretty good question: what exactly does he study to write his "lectures"? He has to have resources of some sort beyond his prejudices. I think he should publish a list of sources so that they might be avoided by anyone interested by what he "lectures" on. Kaalis 16:10, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Judging from the content of his lectures and the texts mentioned in his application, I'm guessing a textbook or two. Simply put, his lectures are so full of staggering errors that they can't come be outright copies from textbooks, but they also show virtually no research, being nothing more than historical stub after stub. 16:22, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Somehow I imagine he just skims Wikipedia. Vulpius 16:24, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

I get that impression too. 16:25, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

I always get the feeling that he does what I do - drags up whatever he can remember from school. The difference is that I'm filling redlinks on an obscure wiki and he's "educating" children. Totnesmartin 18:22, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

I get that impression, too. I could scribble a rough outline of US or World history, fill in details where I think I know them, then lazily look up some stuff to fill in the gaps. Smear a few layers of religious bigotry, political slanting, and general narrowmindedness over it all and I'd have replicated his Lectures. ħuman 18:27, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure he skims wiki entries. Once I tried to write a wiki about one of his entries, because I thought it was pretty obvious he got his information from wikipedia (wasn't really solid enough to WIGO though). It was concerning some stuff he wrote about Flanders (the region, not the Simpsons character). What gave him away was that he included parts of France in the definition of Flanders, which isn't commonly done when describing Flander.. except on the English Wikipedia.. --GTac 07:15, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

(UI) Why does Andy argue that getting only one Noble price is an indication of how bad the theory is? I thought that getting Noble prices was an indication that your theory was accepted by the deceitful libruls, so getting less indicates that your theory is more conservative, thus true. --GTac 05:14, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Wonder how many different Nobels would have been awarded (not to Albert though) if the winner didn't have to be still alive? _and marmite 05:25, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

You also have to bear in mind that nobel prizes for physics are given for successful experiments or discoveries in the field of physics rather than to the person who may have created the mathematical framework that underlies them. So, for example, while Stephen Hawkin predicted the existence of evapourating black holes using a combination of relativity and quantum theory, it'll be the person who actually observes one who will be more likely to win the nobel prize.

As for the number of prizes won by the theory, well he's covered this ground before when arguing that somebody with two doctorates unrelated to evolution (Hoyle, perhaps? I forget.) is more qualified to comment on evolution than Richard Dawkins. Bondurant 08:38, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Unless the constitution was amended secretly during W's administration, it has never, nor does it now, contain the words: God, Christ, Christian, Jesus. Funny that the Founding Fathers "forgot" to put those words in if it was "so important" to them. Ah wait, there's the religious test to hold federal offices. No, wait. There isn't. Drat. In fact there is a section which expressly forbids religious tests for offices. Assie-Ass-Fly would do well to actually READ (simple English version please) the constitution.

Another interesting tidbit: the Constitution almost failed ratification because the Andys of the day thought it was godless for all the reasons mentioned by Jimaginator. Furthermore, there were repeated attempts to amend the Constitution to explicitly mention God and Jesus, and they all failed. Now, in a delightful irony, the Andys are trying to insist that God has always been in there, when back in the day they were insisting that the Constitution was bad because he wasn't.

I vote for idiot too. He's a parodist the same way Andy's a parodist; he's gone so far he's come out the other end, creating a parody of the right that Jon Stewart would be proud of. Z3ro^talk 15:55, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Unfortunately, I think he is the real deal. And given his Obama-hate article and his use of the Columbine photos, I think he's more batshit insane than Andy. --PsyGremlin_Whut? 15:59, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

BHarlan is still my ace in the hole. Neveruse513 16:06, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

I take that back... He's too obvious to be great. Neveruse513 17:00, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Jpatt is the one user I am convinced is NOT a parodist. I'm sorry, I honestly don't want to be rude, but this guy seriously lacks understanding in some very basic concepts. Jammy 18:28, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

I dunno Jessica. Maybe Jpatt's a Yorkshireman! "Religion's reet worthy of protection, I tell thee". Dreaded Walrus 19:02, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

That Jpatt is a complete twit. Really, sometimes I wonder about arguing with the Conservapediatricians - it's really just not possible, when you're dealing with people who can only write unintelligible twaddle like that essay. What a load of old shit Jpatt. DogP 22:40, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Jpatt can't be a Yorkshire man...otherwise he'd have been blocked already Jammy 21:39, 18 April 2009 (EDT)
