:::Wingers really are incapable of understanding the fallacies of their own argument. When Bush won, it was "a mandate" of the people. When Obama wins, it's "Why won't he listen to the people?" When the Democrats win Congress on, among the promises, a platform of making a public option for health care, the wingers shout, "Socialism!" When one senator wins against another who ran a terrible campaign, it's "The people have spoken!" So why is it "the people" speaking when it agrees with them, but not what "the people" want when it disagrees with them? I know! It's because wingers are utter morons incapable of rational thought, and thus perceive anyone who disagrees with them as an enemy. Nixon never died, he just transferred the creepiness to future generations. --[[User:Irrationalatheist|Irrational Atheist]] ([[User talk:Irrationalatheist|talk]]) 05:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Haha, that's funny, the forums were created to take the load off the SB, but it's perfectly applicable here too. Should there be a "conservapedia" category added to the fora now? ħumanUser talk:Human 21:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I think I just did exactly that. Fairly easy, nice work tech guys! ħumanUser talk:Human 21:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

More TK/Jensen dust-up

TK oversights one of Jensen's edits and calls him liberalimg after DanielPulido edited some talk page comments of Jensen's.img Coarb (talk) 23:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

TK smells blood - he knows RJ is vulnerable. I thought some estimates of a week were quite optimistic, but then, I don't expect to see RJ still there in a month - particularly with the continued baiting over dimwitted professors. MaxAlex Swimming pool 00:21, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
You never know - all it takes is one flame war with TK or Andy to end it all. It could happen at any time. Tetronian you're clueless 00:35, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
That's all it takes, but that's not really what's happening. There are a number of editors in the cross-hairs this time, and I don't think they know how to get shut without causing extreme embarrassment. MaxAlex Swimming pool 08:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

That's simply because there's no secret discussion group to hide all the edits/comments, which in thanks to you, we know exists. :3 And besides, the arguing is usually about following policy (from what I can tell), something Conservapedia can't seem to grasp.

Man, the guy has gone over the rim now. What's this overwriting JacobB's talkpage with a writing plan demand? Where the fuck did this come from? Acei9 05:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

He put things in a mathematics article that confused Ed. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 05:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Ed's own, accurate writing plan would actually be a pretty funny thing to read. --Retwa (talk) 06:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Is it a bad thing that I was kind of cheering JacobB after his smackdown/bluff-calling of Ed? Well, somewhat less so after he chickened out.
Ed is such a complete asshole, he left a TEMPLATE and edit comment on a page telling other people to do a copy paste job. Like he couldn't have done it himself in seconds.
Maybe someone should ask Ed for a writing plan. He hasn't made a legitimate article-length contribution to Conservapedia in weeks. All he does is tinker with existing articles, start stubs, and ban people. JacobB has made better and more insightful contributions to CP and he's a parodist.

Java

What's the betting he means Javascript? Judging by what he's turned to (PHP, HTML and CSS) I'd be willing to wager on it. I have just eaten Toast& stiltontalk 08:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Are HTML, PHP and CSS programming languages? They are computer languages sure, but I would call them scripting languages. - π 08:28, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
After checking, html is a markup language, php is a scripting language, css is a style sheet language. - π 08:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm willing to bet he means Javascript. But it's a slightly odd talk page comment anyway - who cares what his favourite language is? Doofus. --Worm(t | c) 09:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Don't be so sure. I started with C/C++ about 12 years ago, and I'm only just starting to have a good tinker with javascript myself; there's not quite as many ampersands involved as with C, but that's beside the point. My point is that he might actually know a proper (proper being 3GL or lower) language, and is merely starting to branch into web-dev. I actually call bullshit on Ed being proficient in any language whatsoever, that moron can't even handle wiki markup, so pig's arse he can handle java/script - or even HTML for that matter. -RedbackG'day 09:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
The pig's arse thing was what I meant; I can't see that Ed would have any proficiency in a true language, judging by his (lack of) competence in even wiki markup. He's claimed to have organised a database for someone (forget who) but ... I have just eaten Toast& stiltontalk 09:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Probably means he's linked a few tables in Access. I've been programming as a tinkerer for over 20 years, and I wouldn't really call myself 'proficient' in any language to be honest. I can usually knock something together in Perl or VB for pretty much any task, but it's not a pretty sight :) --Worm(t | c) 10:47, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I still have never messed with javascript outside of tutorials. And anyone who says java is their favorite language is an idiot. — Sincerely, Neveruse / Talk / Block 13:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, you know, I seem to recall you saying more-or-less the same thing to me, but with Visual Basic. Just because a language is limited and crappy doesn't mean it can't be your favorite, it comes down to what you like to fuck around with in your spare time. In this case, assuming creepy Uncle Ed meant to say javascript, I can easily see how that would be a favorite of many, because it's fun to screw around with without really needing much concentration (hence the enjoyment I get from VB... and I enjoy this VB as well). In Ed's case however, I think javascript would be a favorite because it's so easy to "borrow" script from other sources, slap them together and create some kind of Frankenscript, which seems like the kind of thing Ed would do. -RedbackG'day 15:39, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Neveruse is a good man. It comes down to not being an idiot. --Swedmann (talk) 16:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
So... being able to program in several languages and choosing to spend your free time tinkering with simpler languages that are fun to play with is being an idiot? Seems to me it'd be more idiotic to not spend your free time doing what you enjoy. If there's something I'm not seeing, if there's any logic behind this, I'd love to hear it.
I mean, it's like saying that it's idiotic to visit RW when there are much bigger sites out there with more content, eight forums, thirty four RSS feeds and over twenty thousand members. Just because sites like that exist, and we know to how use them, doesn't mean we have to use them, maybe some of us prefer RW, just as some of us prefer VB over C++. We can still use the larger site/C++ from time to time because we know it exists and we know how to use it, we'd just rather not waste our spare time idiotically when we could be doing something we enjoy even more. -RedbackG'day 16:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
VB is not fun to play with. VB is not simple. You need a taste. And C++ has nothing to do with this. --Swedmann (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

(UI)Okay, clearly you didn't understand what my post immediately following Neveruse's was about, so it seems it was a bit idiotic of you to speak up over it, hmmm? If you'd bothered to actually read the post and follow the links, you'd see that I was refering to a previous occassion where Neveruse had a swipe at me for switching from C++ to VB (which I state on my user page, referenced in the discussion I linked to); so I'm afraid C++ does have something to do with it. As for your claim regarding VB not being simple, are you a bit simple yourself? Tell me, what does the B in BASIC stand for? One of the frigging original design principles of BASIC was that it would be easy to fucking use. -RedbackG'day 16:55, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

One of the original design principles of FORTRAN or COBOL was that it would be easy to use. There's easy as in 'I can print "BOOP"' and there's easy as in usable. eg
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Gtk2 -init;
use Gtk2::WebKit;

$w = Gtk2::Window->new;
$w->resize(500, 500);
$sw = Gtk2::ScrolledWindow->new;
$view = Gtk2::WebKit::WebView->new;

$w->add($sw);
$sw->add($view);
$w->signal_connect('delete-event' => sub { Gtk2->main_quit });

$view->open('http://www.google.com');

$w->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
is a crappy browser without address bar in perl. Perl's not the coolest or freshest language, but CPAN is huge and there's a module for everything. You could mail the above thing to anyone on just about any platform and they could run it. VB is old, unexciting and ugly. --Swedmann (talk) 17:28, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, well, let me help you out there with a bit of VB. Want to add an address bar to your browser? Add a text box, a go button and three lines of code:
Private Sub cmdNavigate_Click()
   Browser1.navigate (txtAddress.text)
End Sub
That was so hard, I don't even know how I managed! How about some back and forward buttons?
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
   Browser1.GoBack
End Sub
Private Sub cmdForward_Click()
   Browser1.GoForward
End Sub
Gee, you sure were right, VB isn't easy. I don't know how anyone could learn such a difficult language. As for CPAN, do you really think that a community makes a programming language? Even if it were so, VB has a large community and is supported by MSDN. However, the only two reasons for wanting a large community are for help (fair enough, but maybe read the documentation next time) or to copy other people's code samples, which I don't think is very exciting at all. If you can't program without having to get your source code from others, what's the point? Why not just download a compiled version and skip the programming altogether? -RedbackG'day 17:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Everything you just said was wrong and idiotic and misses the point, although my example wasn't too good. Here is a face recognition script in a niche language R, a quite short one. Yet no promising ghits for vb. You can do $BROWSER http://www.google.com in sh too. How can anyone like a language with 'End Sub'? --Swedmann (talk) 18:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I decided to check RW after I couldn't get to sleep. Now I feel strangely obligated to respond to this crap once again.
I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything wrong, but by all means keep telling yourself that.
While quite impressive (did you download it from CPAN?), your facial recognition script misses the target. I'm discussing which program language I enjoy to tinker with, on the weekends or maybe a bit in the evening. Where the fuck does facial recognition fit into that? Facial recognition - if I came up with the algorithm myself - is not a weekend project which I could complete in my spare time. Maybe you don't understand that I don't like using other people's code, other people's algorithms, I don't find it fun; and unless I were to do so, do you really think I'm going to need a language capable of achieving facial recognition?

In case you haven't noticed, which I don't think you have, this page is here so that folks can come and ridicule a group of people who have the extreme mindset:
"I don't like X. Therefor, X is bad and nobody should like X."
When dealing with Conservapedia, X can be defined as Atheism, homosexuality, socialism or pretty much anything that crosses their minds. Define X as VB however, and look at how well you fit into the shoes of those we're here to ridicule. All for the sole reason of "I don't like VB".

I'm going to leave this discussion here, as I feel it's going terribly off-rail, I don't think it's going to go anywhere and I don't think you are willing to see how moronic it is to ridicule someone because they don't like the same programming language as you. -RedbackG'day 19:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Redback, you are not an idiot. Make the best of it. Learn to play the flute. But first Redback, please forgive me. I'm sorry about all this, Redback --Swedmann (talk) 19:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Hugs and kisses, now I'm off to learn how to play the flutethat I created in VB using mid files, bwahahaaa! -RedbackG'day 19:38, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll just comment that there is a _reason_ that UseNet put the programming-languages discussion groups in the alt.religion hierarchy, and leave it at that. --Gulik (talk) 19:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

It seems I was wrong...

...when I said no one uses Conservapedia as a reference. One person does: the man who writes it. I think my brain has just been broken. DickTurpis (talk) 19:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I dont think you can really count him, although it may explain a lot Hamster (talk) 19:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I wish he'd say what he really thinks. His knowledge comes straight from God, and manifests itself through Conservapedia. DickTurpis (talk) 19:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Actually I'm not too surprised or amazed. Of course he's going to say that, it's not like he would ever admit that his blog is shite. Tetronian you're clueless 22:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
"Say Andy, where do you get your information from?" "Me!"
Really, that explains everything you need to know about Conservapedia. And right-wing nutbars in general. --Gulik (talk) 19:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

He was very active on the 18th. On the 19th, he slapped Jake with his gauntlet and threw it to the floor. Since then, nothing. Does this soap opera only run every other day? MaxAlex Swimming pool 11:31, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Ed

You argue that democracy is an equalizer because the disadvantaged can use their vote to achieve quality, and you seemingly consider that a good thing. So, then if the "disadvantaged" voted to implement confiscatory taxation on incomes over $100K and directly transfer the money to the working poor, you'd think that's all fine and dandy? MDB (talk) 16:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Don't know about Ed, but the standard conservative response to that question would be that government intervention to redistribute wealth are a bad way to promote equality, possibly because they reduce opportunity and incentives to work.-- Kriss AkabusiAAAWOOOGAAAR!!1 16:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Government is the boogie man. δij 17:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
I have read that sentence a few times and I can only see it as an argument for democratic socialism. This rather underlines a feeling I have had for a while that Conservapedia does not so much espouse conservative values, as hate "liberals". They have no positive or even coherent philosophy, only "it is wrong when a democrat says it". If Obama had uttered the exact same phrase he would be called a Marxist all over the front page. - π 01:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I think you're spot on. Conservative values seem to mean very little to Conservapedians in general, it's all about bitching about them darn liberals. Anything a liberal does, even if most normal conservatives see no problem in what they're doing, is a disgusting act of depravity that angers god Andy. There are many instances of people being booted from CP who appeared to be good (as in, not batshit crazy) conservatives, but just happened to have one or two views that are more on the liberalism side of the spectrum. As soon as the L word appears, the user disappears occasionally turning up here. You're right, infinite number thing that does my head in, Conservapedia doesn't give two shits about respecting conservative values, only about nitpicking at anything that has ever been named, referred to, or simply thought of as liberal. For IPU's sake, the head moron over there wants the word liberal removed from the bible, enough said really. -RedbackG'day 10:29, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, yeah. Andy's beliefs, like the tea-bagging "movement" are not founded on supporting much of anything, its just about being opposed to the liberals, Big Bad Barack especially. A prime example is the Chicago Olympics. To my knowledge, no one on the right had expressed any opposition to Chicago getting the Olympic bid (and if they did, I'd guess it was locals who didn't want the hassle that comes with being an Olympic City.) They sure as hell didn't say a word when Bush the Lesser gave a mild "yay, Chicago" endorsement during his Presidency. As soon as Obama got involved, though, the right went ape-shit. And they didn't even raise coherent objections to Chicago's bid -- it was, quite clearly, "Obama wants it, we're opposed to it." So, they openly cheered when an American city failed, because they wanted Obama to be humiliated. And then they ask "why do liberals hate America?" MDB (talk) 13:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Take that Bethe example. If he had not publicly endorsed Kerry they would not care a physicist had been quoted in Wikipedia's article on the SDI, instead on an engineer. - π 10:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually having read it again it was put in by CPalmer. Is he in Andy's good books or not, I don't keep track any more. - π 01:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Panto and Conservapedia

Conservapedia is seemingly agin cross dressing.

The article mentions cross dressing in pantomime.

Anyone care to do 'Conservapedia - the Panto' (possibly involving kilts, or tights). Jackiespeel (talk) 16:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

wouldn't a Panto in tights lead to a Codpiece size war ? that would not be a pretty sight :( The male lead is of course played by a woman, so what woman would play Andy ? or would the lead be TK or maybe Uncle ED ? I vote for Paris Hilton or maybe Miley Cyrus. Hamster (talk) 17:22, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Only little Phy and Taj (if she's still around). As far as I know HSMom, Bethany (& sister) and Justine have all seen the light and left CP as Andy likes it - white and male. --PsygremlinZungumza! 18:19, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
From the lack of female contributors, how does one infer that the Wiki lacks editors who have darker skin? And how does it possibly infer that Mr. Schlafly likes it white? Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 19:36, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

(UI)Before you guys all said it I kinda realized the same thing... other than homskollars doing homework and tests, CP seems to have become an exclusively male province. ħumanUser talk:Human 21:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Do we have anyone watching the CBP?

Is there anything happening besides Ecclesiastes to watch? --Opcn (talk) 19:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Mr. Schlafly has been trying to insert conservative buzzwords into the Gospels again. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 19:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Seems like the pace has slowed a lot. Andy does the main editing on the New Testament Gospels, while TerryH is working on the Old Testament at a crawl. My take on the CBP is that Andy's real interest is in making sure he's the only one interpreting what Jesus says in the four main Gospels - outside of that he's showing about as much interest as he does for any project he starts once the first few weeks have passed, i.e. none.
I wish he would write a book, that would be great. --Opcn (talk) 20:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
I would jump at the opportunity of doing a side-by-side on that. Tetronian you're clueless 22:39, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Andy's book already exists http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFmwMxfy-Ik 82.23.209.253 (talk) 22:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Anyone notice Ecclesiastes 5:3img? --Opcn (talk) 02:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Looks a little too obvious, I'm afraid. The only person who could get away with such a blatant case of applied SchlaflySpeak would be... Andy. Unfortunately, it looks like ChrisY has answered the shout-out for help with this page, and he's cleaning up the crap removing the laughs again. --04:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
That guy is clearly a poser. I edit the CBP, but I do it from the Greek so my edits are sparse. It takes like half an hour to do a few verses well. A contrived opportunity to practice Greek is the only reason I do it. I have no idea why I'm admitting this. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 06:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

The OT will never be done by anyone who isn't a poser, if you can read ancient Hebrew then you have a real skill, why use it on the CBP? ECC is easily the best book of the bible, Solomon was probably a little manic depressive (or just depressive). Also if you look at the basically schlafly article about word analysis in the bible it seems to indicate that the bible needs moar schlafly! --Opcn (talk) 09:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I was going to point out his edits to Eccles as an example of how to do the CBP right, but what's the difference really - his "translations" may be more poetic, scan better, and stay truer to the text than Andy's, but they're both still playing Bible Telephone. Going over CBP edits with the handy Parallel Bible has just given me a new appreciation for how careful and exact the KJV translators were. WodewickWelease Wodewick! 12:45, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Ken's incoherence

I wonder if he made those videos himself. The quality is certainly low, but the familiarity with the material is high. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I suppose these were the waves he was going on about. So much build up for so little. To be honest I have come to expect that from him now. Three YouTube videos that will probably never get more that 1,000 views. It is sad to see him try so hard for such little results. - π 04:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Right, I haven't watched the YT video as I have an extremely slow connection at the moment, but I can already see the production values in the first few seconds (a camera pointed at a PC screen, with "conservapedia" written in notepad - with the YT star pointing at the screen with a pen...). Given the shiteness of the video, and the shiteness of the five comments (Ken's one actually says "good use of encyclopedia~ " (sic), why is Ken so keen to highlight it?

(EC)Not that guy again. He also did a video on the evolution article for Ken. Then when Ken posted that on the front page, the guy did a video about how his video was on the front page. Which Ken then posted on the front page and the cycle went around once more.
I sent the guy an email begging him to use Capture Fox, but he never replied. He heavily moderates all comments, so unless you are blowing smoke up his arse, your comment won't get approved. - π 05:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Set up another account to use for your CP vid. Open it now and look at it now and favourite a few bible-bashing/right-wing vids so Ken doesn't spot that it's just been opened to make his video. (Is he that clever?) DeltaStarSenior SysopSpeciationspeed! 19:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Should have realized that posting here would have led to a ban. I think it was because I called dear leader Assfly (not on CP, of course; that would be liberal namecalling), honestly, although initially I thought I'd get it from the open mind and godspeed parts, which were pretty clear mockery. The ban expires tomorrow and I'll get back to correcting grammar errors and spelling mistakes like a good CP user, although I don't have it in me to feign conservative ideology. I was just very upset by the ruling, and still am.

Conservapedia and SCOTUS

The US Congress has been behaving like the legislature of a failed state. No matter what issue/problem we present to Congress, by the time it comes out the other end of the sausage machine it's been reduced and repacked into a series of corporate welfare measures. This happens no matter whether the agenda is right-wing or left-wing. Bush proposes Medicare Part D, it turns into a handout to PhRMA. Obama proposes a public option, it turns... into a handout to PhRMA. No matter who wins elections, the public interest loses.

When you look at it that way, why should Conservapedia be so happy about more corporate money in politics? Exxon will be able to spend moar money to defeat those dirty hippies, true. But who do you think is going to win in a fight between homeschoolers and Prentice Hall? How about anti-vaccine nutsos and Merck? How about small government teabaggers and Goldman Sachs or ADM?

Corporations militate against the political agendas of both the grassroots right AND the grassroots left. WodewickWelease Wodewick! 05:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

New Weakly toon (intresting thing about God)

http://www.conservapedia.com/images/6/62/WToon22.JPG Notice how he subtracts God the first time (thus making evolution anti-God), but then he subtracts God a Second time, only this time, God has a "no" sign around it (or whatever they are called), meaning they subtracted the negative of God, which would make the amount of God in Evolution = zero. Which is certainly not what they are arguing, but is the truth, that the theory of evolution is pro or anti-God. Unless karajou is sending us messages that he is secretly a liberal, it was just a screw up, but I am selectively OCD, so I just needed to say that. (I am a Christian, and I do believe in God, but I don't see any reason why God and Evolution have to be mutually exclusive, but then again, I am not completely batshit insane) EDIT: I would also like to point out that he did the same thing for common sense.--Passerby25 (talk) 18:48, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Looking just at this edit:

"The mammalian whale lacks plausible ancestors along points of a proposed evolutinary pathway." - Are there other whales besides mammalian ones? What happened to ambulocetus, protocetus, rodhocetus, basilosaurus and others?

"the enormous gaps and lack of intermediate species between kinds in the fossil record." What's a kind? And why is a lack of an intermediate species a counterexample of evolution?

"No clear transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms." It's been known for about a decade.

"A lack of any evolution from prehistoric forms has been demonstrated for many species." How can anyone "demonstrate" a lack of something?

The whole page is absurd. There's no reason to dig for "facts" to back up those absurd arguments. --Irrational Atheist (talk) 23:24, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

EvanW brings some more DUHR to the talk page. "It seems to me that what the article's saying is precisely that it is a mystery - so no natural process could have created it; since atheistic evolution allows only natural processes, but consciousness exists, atheistic evolution can't be all there is."

Conservative movie

Besides "Pillow Talk" getting Andy all hot when he watches the women getting slapped around, I'm surprised that a conservative movieimg has a gay leading man, who engaged in liberal deceit by staying in the closet. Obviously, the wife beating was important enough to win out.
Actually, to add to that, it won an Oscar and has been added to the National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant (thanks to WP for telling me that). Now things like that would make it a good conservative movie, but for Andy, it's all about the uppity bitch getting slapped around.

Ed Poor

Insinuations that Ed Poor is a sex pest or paedophile, I mean, WTF? Come ON! On what basis are these insinuations made? What possible justification is there? If there is none, and it would have to be pretty damn convincing if there is, then it's simply outrageous and totally inappropriate. Ajkgordon (talk) 18:53, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree. It's one thing to comment on Ed's posts when they stray into creepy territory, but it's another to imply that he's a pedophile. Let's keep the comments appropriate, folks. --SpinyNorman (talk) 18:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
I agree - he is down right creepy sometimes but creepy =/= pedo. Acei9 18:59, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Tut, tut. It's much more important that the word is spelt paedophile 'cos it's of Greek extraction, you ignorant Merkins.--Stunteddwarf Spirit of the Cherry Blossom 22:13, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
<da>to be fair, he strays beyond the 'creepy' territory on a frequent basis. A list of topics he 'contributes' substantively to is pretty short.</da> Of course, it doesn't _make_ him anything, but I don't think there's much of an issue of insinuating stuff for comic effect when he writes things which cry out for mockery in that vein. MaxAlex Swimming pool 22:46, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Insinuating that somebody is a paedophile based on nothing more than a subjective view that much of his editing is "creepy" has no comic effect. Get a grip. Ajkgordon (talk) 22:57, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
By your use of the word 'subjective' I assume you know what it means. Would you not agree that comedy is also subjective? Just because you don't find it funny doesn't mean that it's not funny to others. Keegscee (talk) 23:04, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey Rob?

What's with the title of this horrific image?img Who's Kara? Can we see her in her yellow dress? TheoryOfPractice (talk) 19:15, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

It looks like he got his CP uploads confused with his private pretty girl pictures. The 'Kara Yellow Dress 08 Cover' refers to (Warning: Kinda NSFW, definitely creepy) this picture (which has that exact title) I'm sure it's in plenty of other places. What this tells us about Rob's mind I shudder to think. EDIT Looks like she's Kara Duhe - a porn star. Thanks for that unintentional glimpse into your life Rob. StarFish (talk) 19:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I can't see any other explanation than Rob's been caught red handed (sorry!) Looks WIGOable to me but I'll leave to someone more able to check and create one if they want to.

It is a blog with "non-nude" in the name and the guy post pictures of attractive women with their clothes on. Is this some kind of weird Christian porn? It is okay, so long as you don't see her boobies. Reminds me of those jokes about Puritans getting excited by the sight of woman's ankle. - π 22:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Did you read the copy underneath the picture? "Kara is multi-orgasmic, which means she can have as many as 4 orgasms within five minutes." Although it does then prattle on about how 'glamour girls' increasingly look like porn stars. Whatever. DogPMarmite Patrol 22:56, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
To be honest, I lost interest after the non-nude bit. All this talk about NSFW got my hopes up. - π 23:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Rob's clearly enjoying a game of "Masturbation Minefield". You start with a selection of pornographic pictures, and hide a few pictures of things like death camps, bloated corpses, and nasty injuries in there. After arranging the images in to a random slideshow, Rob will begin pounding his pud and hoping that he doesn't hit an atrocity at the wrong time. The risk is that he bends his brain to the point where he's unable to get wood without switching on the History Channel.--ConcernedresidentAsk me about your mother 22:55, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

About as plausible as Obama's explanation why his approval and agenda are going down in smoke and flames. RobSmithdon't bother me 02:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Obama pretended that the real cause was a generalized anger and frustration "not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years." Let's get this straight: The antipathy to George W. Bush is so enduring and powerful that . . . it just elected a Republican senator in Massachusetts?[3]

Wingers really are incapable of understanding the fallacies of their own argument. When Bush won, it was "a mandate" of the people. When Obama wins, it's "Why won't he listen to the people?" When the Democrats win Congress on, among the promises, a platform of making a public option for health care, the wingers shout, "Socialism!" When one senator wins against another who ran a terrible campaign, it's "The people have spoken!" So why is it "the people" speaking when it agrees with them, but not what "the people" want when it disagrees with them? I know! It's because wingers are utter morons incapable of rational thought, and thus perceive anyone who disagrees with them as an enemy. Nixon never died, he just transferred the creepiness to future generations. --Irrational Atheist (talk) 05:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
