Conservapedia

Move over, Wikipedia, and make room for a newer, more modern source of online information!

Conservapedia graced the internet late last year as an attempted "answer to the liberal bias of Wikipedia". Also self-dubbed the "Trustworthy encyclopedia", this informative gem offers such features as a daily Bible verse, news updates dedicated solely to the bashing of liberal media and figures, and articles of the year. (This year's article is a bunch of "scientific data" supporting creationism.)

Here is an excerpt from Conservapedia's "About" page:

“No other encyclopedic resource on the internet is free of corruption by liberal untruths. Please look around while you're here, share this with others, edit your favorite entries, and enjoy the benefits of new insights that you never realized before. For example, do you know why pretzels have their shape? Click it to find out!

Here are some of our favorite entries:

Let's have a look at some of Conservapedia's views on these "favored entries." The below excerpts are in their original form (any misspellings or grammatical errors will remain).

On evolution: "In addition, biblical creationists can point out examples where the scientific community was in error and the Bible was clearly correct. For example, until the 1970s the scientific consensus on how lions killed their prey was in error and the Bible turned out to be right in this matter.[196] Also, for centuries the scientific community believed that snakes could not hear and the 1988 edition of The New Encyclopedia Britannica stated the snakes could not hear but that was mistaken and the Bible was correct in this matter."

On homosexuality: "In regards to the issue of homosexuality and choice, given the existence of ex-homosexuals and given the existence of human cultures where homosexuality has apparently not existed, the position that homosexuality is ultimately a choice in individuals or at the very least can be a choice in individuals has strong evidential support. In short, there is a strong argument that one can leave homosexuality. In addition, given that the homosexual population has significantly higher rates of many diseases and the homosexual population also has significantly lower rates of various measures of mental health it can be strongly argued that engaging in homosexual acts is a bad choice for individuals. Another other factor that makes engaging in homosexual acts a bad choice for individuals is the significantly higher rates of domestic violence in homosexual couples. In addition, according to experts homosexual murders are relatively or quite common and often homosexual murders are very brutal. Also, the homosexual population has a greater propensity to engage in illegal drug use."

On feminisim: Specifically, a modern feminist tends to:


*believe that there are no meaningful differences between men and women (The most significant belief underlying contemporary feminism is that there are no sex differences; therefore advocacy for equal rights must be extended to advocacy for equal results or outcomes.)


*oppose chivalry and even feign insult at harmless displays of it (see battle between the sexes)
*view traditional marriage as unacceptably patriarchal
*detest women who are happy in traditional roles, such as housewives,[4] and especially dislike those who defend such roles
*shirk traditional gender activities, like baking[5]
*support affirmative action for women
*prefer that women wear pants rather than dresses, presumably because men do[6][7]
*seek women in combat in the military just like men, and coed submarines
*refuse to take her husband's last name when marrying[8]
*distort historical focus onto female figures, often overshadowing important events (Eg: Henry VIII's wives take precedence in common knowledge to his actual reign.)
*object to being addressed as "ma'am," or feminine nicknames such as "sweetheart" or "honey";[9] object to other female-only names, such as "temptress"

If you have a few hours to shit away and are stocked up on plenty of Pepto and Dramamine, then be sure to take the time to review this fine online resource for yourselves.
