    Default Conservapedia

    www.conservapedia.com

    This says it all really. The idea that for fundamentalists, the only acceptable sources of information are the ones they control and censor entirely. If these people weren't pulling the strings of the world, they would be funny.

    What do you mean, "not funny"? They're a riot.

    Indeed - quite funny.

    Admit it Idaho, you added the "Legacy" section to the entry on Bill Clinton

    I'm becoming a trigger-happy moderator.

    I was just about to edit this thread, thinking the title indicated another of those Dutch groups wanting to protect paedophiles.

    Fragony, it's all your fault.

    Looks like the Fundamentalistcrackpotapedia to me. Is there a flat map of the Earth in there or does it list July 25 2031 BC as the Earths birthday?

    It's rubbish

    I clicked on the entry for "Age of Metal" and there was no Black Sabbath, no Saxon, no Slayer, just some garbage about copper and bronze tools.

    And you can't edit without logging in, chizz.

    Wow, I dare say the link in the original post is the single greatest link ever posted on this site.

    I wish them much success with that site, it's great!

    From what I gather, conservapedia is not a hoax. It is a sincere 'conservative' project. It just gets visited, edited and vandalised by pranksters a lot. Hence the confusion.
    Then again, the nature of the ideas of America's extreme conservative fringe means it is difficult to tell the difference between what is for real and what is parody. I think this site would be most funny if left completely untampered.

    No, should be:

    The Jews implored the Arab residents who had lived as their neighbors for years to stay with their fledgling nation in its hour of crisis, but the Arabs chose instead to flee rather than stay and face the slaughter that they believed was soon to be inflicted upon Israel by the massive invasion involving every surrounding Arab nation.
