Wikipedia is a liberal "encyclopedia" that anyone can edit. Unfortunately, it is very popular and very "progressive", although its stated goal is to present factual information wit a neitral point of view. A perfect example in the Kwanzaa "article" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwanzaa), as is the "article" on abortion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion), and the article on President Bush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush).
Any attempt to add balance to these articles is met by severe censoring and shouting down or shutting down editors. I suggest people sign up (free and anonymous) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin) and start politely editing. Once there, to gain "credibility" I suggest you look around and then for the first few days edit only uncontroversial articles for grammar or choppiness or poor citation - you will then be seen as a neutral editor (everyone is an "editor"). I suggest using a different screen name than you do at FR.
Defeat??? I think you must have been at the Christmas sherry. Probably used it to wash down a tray of mince pies too.
You may now commence to kissing my tiara.
Don't fret~ Defeat looks good on you old chap. :]
We American- Scots could always run circles around you lads anyway....
You are about as Scottish as that fat Canadian guy in Star Trek.
You man now commence kissing my arse.
Yeah, that will make the whole world think that conservatives are complete idiots.
Geez, leave Wikipedia alone, unless you want everyone to think that conservatives are the stereotypical extremists who would do something like this.
I hope you can be this *graceful* when you are eating crow..otherwise it will prove to be such an ugly mess.
You always seem to be thinking about eating. Do you wear stretchy pants?
I like Eddie Izzard, though he is not as good as Billy Connally.
Wikipedia hit its highest height when the truth was posted about a certain American writer who lives in S. Korea.
This poor chap has probably vandalised Wikipedia more times than the average American eats hamburgers. But they keep changing his words back. Eventually, he will get the message.
Connelly was funny a long time ago. Now he is a bit hysterical. Ricky Gervaise is very funny but he has an unfortunate voice.
Its stupid what people find that threatens them, and the steps they think they have to go to so that they can scream and be heard.
Wikipedia is a good resource, I have the mental capacity to screen out what I know is BS, but its not my job to enforce my beliefs onto every page over there. This is going to backfire and make FR look very bad.
I suppose something only becomes true when it says what you want to be the truth.
Bingo, but if "the other side" were to do this, it would be dishonest, and "the kind of thing that the other side would do."
These people refuse to watch the offending episodes but are quite happy to spend all day talking about them on a message board...
Then she slapped him!
Perhaps Wiki is a thinly disguised, liberal site that has no intention of achieving balance. If so, shame on them for pretending to be something they are not.
Jim Robinson at least is open about the fact that FR is conservative. It's too bad that liberals always lie about what they are and which political slant their projects have.
AND they usually cheat on their spouses or "partners".
Chickens do cackle.
Home delivery of Mickie Ds?
Mickie Ds doesn't home deliver.
>>>McDonald's has started free home delivery service in Delhi (India) and suburbs. There can't be many places in the world where McDonald's does that and it is certainly unthinkable in the US.<<<
The only delivery I've ever heard of was when, once a year , they sent a mobile kitchen overseas to US Air Force Bases to bring a little of home to the Airmen.
