Andy hates smoking

Bahahahaha

I love the the reference

Ace McWicked 23:06, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Am I the only one who thinks that parable is about just being an asshole? 142.179.252.17 00:40, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Nope. If I was third in line I'd give the poor schmuck a dime and kick Andy in the nuts for being a jerk. Surely it was teh assfly who pulled a Puritan on the needy smoker...? PS, Andy, I'd kick you in the scrotorater hard enough to give you breast cancer! Yup, you'd be a star. human 00:49, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

PS, Andy, fix that awful "may or may have happened", you tool. human 00:50, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Someone should explain to Andy baby the difference between a parable and an anecdote. A parable is a short story, which reflects the moral a speaker is trying to get through. For example, if I'm giving a lesson about not doing drugs, and I tell a story about a drug addict overdosing, I'm telling a parable (even this is a borderline example) If I randomly pull a story out of my ass about this time I denied a guy some change to be a moral bastard, I'm telling an anecdote. No charge for the lesson Andy. SirChuckB^{That is all} 02:31, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Isn't the parable here that big government (the guy in the queue) knows best and by working against the smokers 'right' to smoke is actually helping him. Sounds dangerously liberal to me. Silver Sloth 04:16, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Folks, we're not fooled by your See the Conservapedia article on liberal.

mockery (see #25 of See the Conservapedia article on Liberal Style.

) here. Go look up parable in a dictionary instead of the liberally biased Wikipedia. This parable is about the See the Conservapedia article on liberal.

censorship of the positive effects of guns on society. The smoker went to the next store and tried to do See the Conservapedia article on liberal theft.

, but the store owner pulled his gun and shot him. This shows how the defensive use of firearms weakens the liberal tobacco industry and improves the nation's average health. --Sid 05:34, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

So... was his message to stop smoking effective? No. Was his desire to decrease smoking in general a liberal desire? Yes. Therefore, Andy is a closet liberal who is self-hating because of his ineffectual efforts. -Lardashe

Maybe we need a new article - Conservapedia:Schlafly Parable. "I was driving down the highway and someone wanted to change into my lane. I saw they had a Hilary 08 bumper sticker so I ran them off the road. You're welcome!" (may or may have happened). BeastmasterGeneral 10:06, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I just spit my coffee on my monitor at the thought of Andy running a guy off the road, and yelling "Godspeed!" as he takes off...--SpinyNorman 10:29, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Does this make Andy's Dinner-as-a-reference[1] a parable?--SpinyNorman 10:29, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Anniv. issues, re wigo, etc

Lots of work to get done. Make sure email and backchannel.-- -PalMD ^{--Yee haw!} 23:07, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Phase 4 is almost ready for first-round testing, in implementation with all other exploits to test for compatibility. See you there. human 00:19, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Mathter! Mathter!

Ken adjusts his hump and lurches after Andy, spouting more nonsense about how high his Google on his PC ranks his "article" and something about Ivy league professors... forgetting that because of Professor Values Andystein might not be that impressed... [2]

"Some guy asked another guy to look at the article, and the guy liked it!" ROFL I Need Sleep 02:27, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

This is indeed more important news than we have ever seen posted before my trusty Egor. Wait for the next lightening strike and we will surely reach an even higher Google rank. More power. Mooooorrrrreeee pooooweeeeerrrrrr.....

This is good. It means that more people across the world are laughing their head off at this very moment than they would have if Conservapedia was a poor little obscure site. -The Almighty Tuna 04:00, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

For those of us who are uninitiated into wiki mechanics, someone care to explain what happened? RyanC 06:22, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

As a matter of fact... nothing. Negative block lengths do nothing at all, and the actual problem was simply that he hadn't had edit rights - but that changed quickly enough. --Sid 07:12, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Yes, I had wondered about that, if negative block lengths can break a wiki. It's a pity they can't, 'cause that would've been priceless. Decimals in block lengths, however, are another story [3] [4]. : ( -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 12:11, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I never have a problem with locking my keys in the car. Except, of course, when the remote lock thing malfunctions in the car while I'm outside of the car for a minute. Whenever I leave my keys in the car now, I always leave enough window space for my hands to fit through. (real life equivalent of space needed: ======================== ) +_+ Fuzzy|AfD 17:04, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Andy is a slimey lying, self promoting little bitch

OK, this [5] takes the cake. The man is a completely inept used car salesman and not in any good way either. I didn't want to be so frank on WIGO but I'm just saying . . . I actually used my own name in vain when I read this. The man's imagined audience must be a boatload of imbeciles. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 09:13, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Oh he's all that and more. I used to think CP was just funny but the more I saw of it I started to find it quite depressing. There are actually some really unpleasent people there. As for the article count I forget the exact details but I think it was something to do with promissing to make someone a new sysop when they reached a certain article count. All the "size doesn't matter" nonsense is just a smoke screen (and of course a lie!) RedDog 07:31, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Thanks to Ed Poop the number of articles went down as he encouraged amalgamation of other people's short articles into one (never his own of course). Learn together got made a sysop but I don't know how that fitted in with the 25000 article mark. Actually if you filter the article list for essays, debates, indexes, lists of terms, duplication (differences in case) spelling mistakes etc. you can get rid of another 1000 pages or so. Genghis^{RationalWiki GOLD member} 08:18, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

But we got another precious Assfly statistic: "fewer than 20,000 entries, and perhaps fewer than 10,000 entries, are of any value to 99% of visitors". How's that for twisted syntax? He must do this just to amuse us. Rational Ed^perception 09:05, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

It is just so disrespectful and dismissive of his audience. Basically a post like that says I will tell the most ridiculous lies and make up wildly inconsistent excuses and I expect you to swallow it. If you don't I'll call you names and block you The man is a complete belly button worshiping coward. No wonder he ran from Wikipedia crying. Totally ridiculous BS doesn't always fly there. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 09:13, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

On the stats, Noah apparently only had room for 10,000 distinct topics on the arc. All the rest of them drowned. It is ashamed that some 9,999 of those topics were ship names. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 09:15, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

The last article was how to be a dick while in line at the 7-11. BeastmasterGeneral 09:48, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Yeah that's what I thought too. He actually created an article that amounts to "Guess what I said to some guy in the 7-11 while waiting in line." Blatent bloggery! RedDog 10:02, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Teh Assfly should consider sending it to Reader's Digest. Rational Ed^perception 10:08, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Seriously question. Do you think the guy actually has delusions of being a prophet from god? Or messiah??? He certainly acts like it. RedDog 10:28, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

No. He just finds it necessary to puff himself up (and/or tear others down) to feel less like the underachieving putz that he is.--WJThomas 11:15, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I lol'd. NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 13:17, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Hehe, thanks. Genghis^{RationalWiki GOLD member} 04:46, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

I missed the 7-11 story. My blood pressure is dangerously near normal, can I get a link to drive it up a bit. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 13:42, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

"Little"?CЯacke®

Misuse of science

Another quality article from Ed, complete with no categorisation, a formatting error in the first sentence and an amusing "Darwin and Hitler" redlink (someone's going to get ideas). My favourite part, however, is that part of what could be the article and a "reference" have spilled into the talk page.131.111.8.98 10:52, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Ben Stein's relatives haven't seen a scientist in 50 years? BeastmasterGeneral 11:02, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

This is classic Ed. It looks like he's created the entire article as a Rube Goldberg way of responding to why he feels Ben Stein's page should not contain his quotes about science leading to killing. What I particularly like is the way he's using this as a platform for assigning homework to a certain miscreant who shall go nameless. ;-) --SpinyNorman 11:15, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

It looks like Smeg Ed has pulled the plug on you over there and burned the evidence. Psygremlin 12:28, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I was surprised it took as long as it did to earn another block, but you know you've made a point when he erases the discussion thread and re-re-names the Talk page topic to remove the censorship accusation. --SpinyNorman 12:52, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Ahhh, how predictable...131.111.8.98 12:44, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

But Ed's first version was better. Nice and concise, well-referenced, a classic Ed effort. GNUSMAS : TALK 12:48, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Trouble brewing - PJR restored the original "Censorship Complaint" title and the last rebuttal to Ed because they were civil even though he doesn't endorse them, so Ed's response ought to be interesting.--SpinyNorman 13:15, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I'm mostly amused by the fact that even though the comment was considered reasonable enough to reinstate, it seems the user wasn't. --Kels 18:50, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Feebasfactor's getting in on the action as well.131.111.8.103 18:52, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Holy crap she's back!

That woman who begged for her article to be removed because her husband told her to do so came back, single. :O

I only note this because Andy creepily jumps all over her (see her talk page too). Yikes... Glad I'm Not Deluded 13:50, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

$5 says she gets edit rights before Helpjazz. NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 15:26, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

That's an even-money bet right there. Ames would probably get edit rights beforeHelpjazz. Psygremlin 15:31, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Hardly the most obvious redirect

Huh? DogP 14:12, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Check out the website they copied the source they used-Shangrala 15:10, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

A disambiguation page would have made more sense. human 15:32, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Speaking of dumb and dumber, check out WP:Propane and WP:Liquefied petroleum gas sometime. I'm beginning to notice more random duplication (and some really weird redirects) of late. I think WP is imploding because people still want to edit, but they don't know anything that's not already there. OK, that was totally off topic. Someone should tell teh assfly so he can add it to cp:Examples of Redundancy on Wikipedia and cp:Bizarre Links and Redirects on Wikipedia. human 15:34, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

The appropriate thing to do, of course, is to keep these sekret and use deep cover socks to create articles to link to them. Thus, when any well meaning conservative goes in and starts reading about a panic attack related to cp:anxiety and finds themselves ending up a page about a bank run, they will think that the site is administrated by a bunch of idiots. Whats more, is since Andy hates the disambig page and creating redirects is limited to sysops (otherwise you get chastised) this won't get fixed. Ever. --Shagie 16:28, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Stick to an abacus, Ed

Somebody want to sock up and explain to Smeg Ed the difference between an application and a program? [7] Isn't it wonderful when he parades his ignorance without us having to point it out. (Um... there is a difference, right?) Psygremlin 14:55, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

"A programmer is one whose job that involves programming a computer."??? What the silly heck does that mean??^{— Unsigned, by: 41.41.41.41 / talk / contribs} 14:59, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

My Personal Remark - Ed Parody

Oh, COME ON. Uchiha^KATON! 19:24, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I pointed this out before.... but the best part of Ed's "Stop Quote-Mining his Lord Stein" is that their Quote mine page, which he constantly links to, basically says Quote mining is a liberal invention intended to keep Liberals from having to face their own words.... Good old school WTF SirChuckB^{That is all} 02:39, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

More Mystery

Haha, looks like Andy just gave the game away. He has no actual theory, just smears and lies. And he knows he'd never get anywhere trying to publish it anywhere but his own blog. Coward. --Kels 21:03, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I don't know where this fits in, but the "foolish consistency" is NOT Oscar Wilde. Lose points. human 23:37, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

You know, looking at Assfly's retarded "mystery", it's even more bogus than I at first thought. He says that there are 500 Hollywood performers under the age of 30, and 3 have breast cancer. Actually, none of his examples are under 30. Anastacia is 35, Belinda Emmet, if she were alive, would be 34, and Minnie Ripperton, were she alive, would be over 60. So the group of cancer victims includes any Hollywood star who ever developed breast cancer by the age of 30, while the overall group of "500" only includes people who are under 30 right now. So Hollywood types born in 1947 are included as "under 30" if they developed cancer by 30, but they're removed from the equation if they didn't. Of course you're going to get skewed results if you compare two completely different demographics. Either you count only people born after 1977 (actually under 30) in which case you have 0 examples of breast cancer victims, or you include Hollywoodites going back to at least 1947 (when Riperton was born) in which case his already ridiculously low estimate of 500 is off by several orders of magnitude more than they already are. If Andy knows as much about statistics as he pretends to, he should know this, in which case he's practicing deceit. Is Andy a liberal? DickTurpis 01:03, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Andy is hence provably *fucking nuts* and I have nominated this "article" and its discussion for "BEST EVER OF CP", as if we had a such a nom. process. Teh Assfly is truly wound up on a weird wind on this one. human 01:45, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but what are the chances of Margery being a sock of Andy, thus allowing him to essentially say pop stars have abortions, without having fingers pointed back at him. The "whom I do not know" phrase was a bit redundant to me. Psygremlin 02:14, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

This is a reply to Human and DickTurpis above, but I will say that's an interesting idea Psy, I think that Andy knows exactly how bad his statistics are. He falls into the major science fallacy: Your statistics or experiment should prove or disprove your hypothesis. You can't come to a conclusion and then design an experiment that proves it. Using Andy's "Logic," I could quite easily prove that the Sun revolves around the Earth, The Moon is actually in another galaxy and wearing brown shoes on Sunday can cause instant death. The truth is, he doesn't care. He knows that his crop of CPers will eat this up and he can simply rationalize (In the true sense of the word) that any dissent is Liberal objection. A perfect system SirChuckB^{That is all} 02:48, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

I agree, if Andy actually thought that his stats proved something he wouldn't be so reluctant to actually explain them instead of wittering on about smoking and baseball. 76.93.184.4 18:00, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Large Families

b.t.w. have you seen this horror story on their "news" page: "Here's a mom who loves God, loves her husband, loves her family, and home-schools the kids...all 17 of them. And number 18 is just a few months away!" So to hell with the financial implications of having such a large family. Maybe we should have a whip round and buy them a TV or something? Psygremlin 07:27, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Bullshit. That's just hateful for the sake of "hating something on CP" - your middle name "Bulver"?? The family's own web site says they are debt free. There is no indication that they either want or need your donation of a TV. way I see it, there's 18 future taxpayers who will fund no-hopers through life. Why attack them? Because they have a large family? So fucking what? Because they are homeskullers? So fucking what? Fuck you, you fucking Nazi. Fox 10:57, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Make love not war.

NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 11:20, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Take a breath and count to 10 Fox. And throwing around terms like "Nazi" is about the same as calling somebody racist or liberal. Please explain (in terms of Nazi Party doctrine please) what I said that classifies me as a Nazi. 1) having such a large family must put strain on their finances. Ok, so they're debt free, but at what cost? Unless he's an oil baron, they're doing what most 1 or 2 child families are struggling to do. 2) How many of those children will go on to have an education? Will they be able to pay for all 18 to go to college? 3) I made no mention, or attack of homeschooling, that was in the article 4) The TV chirp was tongue in cheek and meant that maybe they'd have something else to do in the evenings other than make the poor women into a breeding machine. 5) Actually, now that I think of it, for women to produce as many babies as possible was one of the ideals of the Nazi's, so your stupid and hateful accusation is misplaced, methinks. I don't expect an apology, but next time, think before you write. Psygremlin 11:22, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Nazi because you want to attack and destroy something that doesn't fit in with your personal culture/ideology - apparently large families of Christian humskullers are more offensive to you than large families of eg Romanies, Roman Catholics, Muslims, Asians etc. Some large families are "more equal" than others, I guess. "At what cost"... When did the bill from them to you arrive in the mail? They're not costing you and by all accounts nobody else anything. That's just a bullshit excuse to slag them off. "Education" - whose to say all of them won't go off to Harvard or Yale or even Oxford? Are you writing off their potential on the grounds of your prejudice? Again - Nazi. "TV" - yeah, right, the dumb rednecks gotta go fuck when the sun goes down and it gets dark, right? You know nothing of these people, stop labelling them with your prejudices. For all you know, they run Shakespeare study evenings. Eighteen kids does not equal "nothing else to do at night". Hell, that's like 18 shags minimum, and I'm sure most of us here have had one or two more than that. Me = stupid & hateful? Read the above again. Problem with some fucking Nazi losers is that they hate being called out for what they are. Apologise? I'd eat my own shit before I apologize to you. And my rabbi says that it ain't necessarily kosher so it ain't gonna happen. Fox 11:35, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

"Nazi because you want to attack and destroy something that doesn't fit in with your personal culture/ideology..." Andy is a Nazi? --Kels 11:38, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

This isn't about anything Andy said, its about something Psygremlin said. Do different rules apply suddenly..? 72.9.156.132 11:56, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

And you know nothing about me, but you'll go and apply labels to me? Pot, this is Kettle - you're black. But whatever. Godspeed. Psygremlin 11:39, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

You applied the labels yourself through your own bigoted comments about a family you know nothing about. Go figure, wise ass. 72.9.156.132 11:56, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

This conversation is about to go badly downhill, inevitably ending in comparisons to Hitler, and hurt feelings all around. Stop now. Step away from the keyboard. Go pet a jerboa, or milk a goat.

NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 11:47, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Many conversations with Fox seem to end with this template. Perhaps he needs his own version. something like: every once in a while Fox ego boils over. He goes nuts on some random editor, starts foaming at the mouth and spewing filth. Then he vandalizes their user pages. Then he makes some ridiculous and impossible personal threat. Then some peace-loving, tree-hugger RWer pastes up this template The only thing Fox forgot to do was reference his military career and the authority that apparently gives him. Perhaps we need a WIGO just for his inane temper tantrums? ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 18:08, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

I find the use of this template particularly ironic in this case, since the whole thing started with a comparison to Hitler, or at least Nazis. That is all. Carry on. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 18:26, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

I got a perverse chuckle out of that, too. human 19:28, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Call it Schadenfruede, but I was loving every second of this. I also see both sides, but don't agree with either SirChuckB^{That is all} 19:44, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Ah well, maybe I was a bit out of line. First time I've been called a Nazi though. Now where's my Stephen Lynch CD? :) Psygremlin_{just call me Adolf} 01:46, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Is anyone convinced that Sheesh is not TK? Its pretty obvious that Sheesh showed up with that... Anyway, I'm with Fox on this one, having hailed from a long line of 'large' Catholic families myself. Such a snobby thing to come out with. MC86.45.198.37 21:08, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

I was wondering about that myself, Marcus. Sheesh reminds me of NightTrain a little bit, and he does seem to enjoy attacking Fox for some reason. But we can't just attack people for possibly being TK -- not unless they stage an outright attack on us. The worst Sheesh does it tell bad jokes about ham. And copy from Wikipedia.^{— Unsigned, by: 41.41.41.41 / talk / contribs} 21:13, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Agreed. Having not really supported blocking TK in the first place, I have no objection to him coming back under another name if he's not causing controversy or doing anything wrong, really (and I wouldn't call this "stirring up conflict" because it was already ongoing). TK does better "work" over on the other side anyway, from our perspective at least, and if he wants to drop by occasionally and laugh/pretend to laugh at WIGO, well I see no problem with that.

Of course, this is just a hedge-my-bets hypothetical supposition. Uchiha^KATON! 21:46, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Humeskuled

Hmmm... guess everybody else is asleep (or has a life). Just found this gem on Andy's talk page (sorry if it's been raised before) [8] "Hi Mr. Schlafly. This is Leonard G. from class. I wanted to know if I could post pictures on the article I am still working on. You can view the article hear. To which Andy (oh-he-of-impeccable-spelling) replies, "I'll give you uploading privileges now." I'd give anything to see some of the writing assignments he gets back.

It's fun to watch him defend his actions, a week and a half after the fact, to a user who's currently blocked. Fact is, the producers of Expelled actually were lying, and not just to Dawkins but all over the place. It's what they do. As to insulting, Phil, after all the reams of evidence you've simply tossed aside and your clinging to the Pack o' Lies edition of Information Theory (which doesn't resemble the real thing in any way), well, either you're deluded, dishonest or stupid. Take your pick, but they're accurate descriptions given the evidence, not insults. --Kels 09:48, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

PJR fascinates me. He actually seems a lot more logical than most other CP sysops (thought, granted, that's like being the sanest person in Bedlam), but he still has the creationist mindset that requires him to work backward from the predetermined conclusion. Whereas most of the others give up and accept the conclusion and deny all logic, PJR wants to rationalize his belief so much that his explanations become sprawling, complex, and ultimately absurd, all in an attempt to get back to the point which most people start from. It must be mentally exhausting to think so extremely around reality in such a desperate attempt to justify what you want to believe. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 10:08, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Gods below, now he's doing shout-outs! Doesn't Ken have a copyright on that or something? --Kels 11:06, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

To be fair you have to understand the position that some people find themselves in. It doesn't bother me - I'm happy to be an arsehole here or there. But with respect to Philip, they know both sides are read by both sides, but posting here is akin to "sleeping with the enemy". Philip is at least communicating with people here, even if he doesn't want to be a user here. And that's his prerogative, surely? Fox 11:11, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

If he doesn't want to join here, sure. I'd say most of the internet has taken advantage of that right. =P However, he's still in the same position as Ken, in dialogue (of sorts) with people here on a site whose official position is that we don't exist. Not to mention people can and have been banned for such mentions, save that his sysopness protects him.

Oh, a further note. PJR states (correctly) that U2 is not blocked. However, if he does post anything as U2 at this point, it would be a bannable offense (as we've seen frequently in the past) because socks are against the rules. But point taken that it's only a week for the main account. --Kels 11:21, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

To be perfectly honest, I don't really care if that's a 'bannable offense'. The whole site is either a very good example of Poe's Law, or extreme ultra-conservatives are even more batshit insane than I thought. Either way, it would be no great loss to me if I got permanently banned, but I am a great believer in freedom of speech - especially if it's speech unpopular with those in charge, and even more especially if those in charge accuse their opponents of censorship, as CP has done with their rants about 'liberal censorship'.

New Andy-ism: 'insight'

So, apparently after reading WIGO--Hi Andy, you cowardly liar!-- our favorite delusional sociopath and pathological liar has picked up on the term "insight" as one that can be reasonably substituted for 'groundless hate-filled opinion.'

I know there's already a section about Andy and his parables, but this just came to my attention. From his references... What the hell does this have to do with anything? I mean, I understand they used it for the quote, but come on guys.... A parable and an Anecdote are two different things. Adding a moral statement to a worthless Anecdote is just that....

I wonder if he realizes that according to his logic, a mother who had an abortion at 15 and then gave birth instead a year later would have a much lower breast cancer risk than a woman who waited until marriage for sex (and children) at age 30.

Wait... no, of course he doesn't. The "logic" is only a flimsy veil to support his own unmovable ideological convictions, and can be discarded or ignored when necessary. Uchiha^KATON! 07:50, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

One of the better ways to avoid these terrible cancers of breast is, of course, to use a hormonal birth control method that lasts a year at a go. As I understand it, it's the monthly sloughing and rebuilding of cells that raises risks of cancer of breast and cancer of some other lady parts. Which is why being a baby-maker reduces the risk, including lactation and consistent re-impregnation, it reduces a lady's cycle to maybe a couple-three every two years. But this would also not fit in with teh Andyworld. (another way to lower the risk is to get some of the lady bits cut out, also preventing those aforementioned monthly lady cycles) human 11:33, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Naked babies and [censored in the name of good taste]

WTF? Ajkgordon 07:32, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Careful, Certain cross-posting editors are very sensitive about this topic. Further I'm not sure the mother's day image applies. Naked baby pictures are a sort of genre unto themselves and don't seem to denote any sexual content in isolation. However, fundies do seem to be fascinated by porn, homosexuality and deviant sexuality, in general, and sexualized children in particular (These are three three separate things). Note to CP editors who monitor this site very closely-- Hi you pack of liars and hate mongers!' --er . . what I meant to say is that since you have web access you can get all the porn you want for free. Unlike the old days, you don't have to rail against pornography in order to get a glimpse of it. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 07:48, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Nah as I said above naked baby pictures are pretty common in most families I know. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 07:48, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

We all know by now what excruciatingly poor taste they have in images; this is another example of that. I agree Ajk, it gets thrown about a lot and that subtracts from its severity when used legitimately. Uchiha^KATON! 07:50, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

(unindent) That only happened because you allowed the liberals to take over your country. If you stayed Vigilant like Andy and his cronies (I always picture them with old WWI helmets and rifles, camped out at night muttering "The liberals are coming") you could have prevented this and then the chemist would have seen it was simply a family picture, something to keep and embarrass your kids with when they get engaged. So sad for you. I will agree however, that throwing around words like pedaeophile is getting very close to libel and is in incredibly poor taste SirChuckB^{That is all} 09:58, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

And another thing... again a few years ago, at the height of the rather bizarre obsession with paedophilia, a paediatrician was attacked because the stupid cunts didn't know the difference. Thankfully that sort of mob behaviour seems to have died down a bit now. Or the press are reporting it less. Ajkgordon 10:59, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

My co-workers have advocated lynching for people accused of molestation. One is considering homeschooling because she seems to think that the schools are all too dangerous. And yet, for some reason, they consider themselves liberal. Lardashe

Actually, the paediatrician thing is an urban myth, she only got her house (or something) vandalized by some illiterate (or not?) by spray-painting the word "paedo". NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 12:22, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Yes, this is true. However, the irony is that it was the media, particularly the News of the World, who whipped up the population into a frenzy and then the same media who whipped up the story of some paediatrician's vandalised house. It was probably just youths but it was enough to make the paediatrician concerned move house. The point I was trying to make is that the whole "paedo" thing, in the UK at least, is (or was) a media frenzy supported by a titillated public. Throwing the label around as above trivialises the seriousness of it and lets the outraged forget that the most likely perpetrator is a family member. Ajkgordon 13:17, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Andy's illiteracy problem

After thinking about it for awhile, it's a very difficult thing to gather data about. I did find one piece of information that is useful. Lubbock, TX has a high population of illiterate adults - http://media.www.dailytoreador.com/media/storage/paper870/news/2007/10/09/News/More-Than.15.Of.Lubbock.County.Residents.Illiterate-3019605.shtml

And I found the voting records for last election.

And from a cursory glance, I'd say it looks like the illiterate vote likely to be split.

This quote from Andy - "A source is not needed to prove that something never existed.

TerryH really takes the cake there. He never watches TV, apparently, but nevertheless held a subscription to TV Guide? But Andy is right in a way, certainly liberals watch much more TV and film than conservatives, when you use Andy's definition of liberal, which is anyone left of him (99.9% of the population). This also includes 13 year old Jonas Brothers-obsessed girls who don't know who Barack Obama is, though they're pretty much the textbook definition of apolitical.

Natural disasters

Like the earthquake in China and the cyclone in Burma. Do Conservapedia have any history of bothering to cover these in their news section? Or are they not deemed important enough to bump off the news about professor values? Charles SubLunar ^(mr) 08:08, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

If they can't blame liberals, it generally isn't worth mentioning. Natural disasters can only be blamed on God (or, if you're a liberal, you can put some blame in climate change for some of them, but they aren't about to do that). Occasionally they'll make note of a disaster and their alleged prayers for the victims, but usually the victims have to be Americans for them to be bothered. DickTurpis 09:20, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Last August there was an earthquake in Peru. CP put some BS on their main page about sending prayers to the victims. I posted something on our front page saying how pathetic and posted a link to the international disaster appeal website where you could donate money to fund proper aid. Andy was eventually shamed into posting something a bit more constructive and posted some links to religious aid organisations. Whether anyone actually gave money on either site (other than myself) I've no idea. Of course the religionists at CP like to crow how much more believers give to charity than atheists. However, I have never seen any figures that break down what those contributions are. I know that churches in the US have charitable status, so I've no idea how much of their charity goes to running the churches and how much to actually to helping the needy. Genghis^{RationalWiki GOLD member} 10:09, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

I seem to remember something similar (it might be in the 'Best of...') about somebody sending Christmas wishes and reminding the CPers to think about the needy.

That was the best part of the article, and far more interesting than the aliens-are-okay part. Did you catch the comment that equates extraterrestrials to non-sentient animals, though? That seems to be how the cardinal rationalizes it. I'm sure this would be dismissed on CP anyway, since fundies don't think of Catholics as true believers, anyway. --SpinyNorman 09:47, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Where does it say that? The cardinal rationalises it by not arrogantly limiting God in His Creation, unlike the limits imposed by YECers. He explicitly says there is no reason to rule out intelligent sentient aiens. Ajkgordon 11:08, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

My bad. I misinterpreted the line "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation."

Who's confusing Christianity with fundamentalism? Andy has repeatedly made it clear that in his view belief in aliens is an atheistic trait. I have no idea what Andy's opinion of the Roman Catholic Church is, but I don't think anyone can say they're atheists, so Andy's painted himself int another corner. I'm sure he'll do what he always does in such circumstances, he'll walk across the painted floor and deny he's tracked paint anywhere. DickTurpis 12:06, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Andy is indeed RC although he seems to be more of an evangelical RC. I am thoroughly aware that many early geologists were priests. From a European perspective, I don't think that nowadays there is an issue between science and mainstream religion with regards to geology, evolution and cosmology. However, there are apparently large swathes of people across the US who do accept a more literal reading of the bible, and CP is an active proponent of YEC and anti-evolutionism. So pointing out that major churches are actively supporting the scientific viewpoint is not to knock the churches it is to highlight the ridiculousness of the YEC position, especially when it stands in opposition to the position of their own church. Genghischilling 10:34, 14 May 2008 (EDT)
