Don’t donate to the non-conservative, “Establishment GOP”, either!

I noticed yesterday that Wikipedia links FR to child porn with no facts. :(

Wikipedia is owned and populated by liberal idiots.

Can you provide facts or links?

I like Wikipedia. It provides info asap and it usually in the top 5 of my web browser when trying to find something. I provided my own bullshit detector.

That's because Google gives them an artificially high ranking.

Having said that, I use it a lot, but I read everything with skepticism.

You merely needed to look at Wikipedia. The best stuff is in "Discussions". but

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Republic

Despite this willingness to ban users, however, critics have charged that the lack of moderating on the site has allowed some users to advertise underage pornography: "One thing that apparently won't result in a ban: using the site solely to boost Web ranking for your child porn site."[58

I have a notorious relative so you will allow me to say that I know very well who his wife was and who his children are.........

Wiki invented a whole new marriage and family for him.

Either the children provided the false information to protect themselves or wiki did it on it’s own as the relative was a commie deported in the 50s for promoting the violent overthrow of the government.

Inventing wives and children is not exactly kosher, wouldn’t you say.

Seemingly anyone can edit wiki to suit their own agenda so what is the point of using that site for FACTS?

Actually, they’re probably journOlist facts.

Wiki is a good starting point but I always dig deeper from there. Its fine for most non political things.

I don’t take Wiki to the level you do. The last time I went to that site was to find out who the hell Linday Lohan is. Carry on if everyone thinks Wiki is evil. I’m with you. But if I need to find out what osteomyelitis is, who cares?

Who the heck gives Wikipedia any money? I won’t even go there, never mind support it. Stupid, sleazy and worst-of-all, unreliable. It’s the little kid’s table of fun-facts and fantasy with an occasional, accidental truth.

Why don’t you just choose not to go to that site? Come one BS, there are porn sites, drug sites, liberal sites, and who knows whatever...
What’s on tv tonight? :o)

What are you suggesting?

The site links FR to child porn. You’re not concerned!

That concerns everyone. Have sources/ proof?

I’m sure you’re busy Jim but have you heard of this?

Of course it concerns everyone!

Why are you mocking it? I think Jim ought to sue frankly.

FR does not link to porn. Some stupid ass liberal trolls registered screen names and posted links on their profile pages. Never posted to the forum and were never spotted. When we discovered what they were doing we searched and found and deleted all the troll accounts we could find.

I’m not mocking. I was serious. If a #1 return on a google search links FR to kiddy porn, it needs to be examined. I’m with ya.

Wiki is ... fine for most non political things.

Yep. Wiki is great for objective, easily verifiable, facts.

How many regular season games did the 1937 New York Yankees win? 102
What is the population of South Forks, Iowa? 1,228
Who directed the first Herbie, the Love Bug? Robert Stevenson

For any subjective topic, Wikipedia can still be useful. Just assume that an Obot has posted the party line, and reverse all of the factual assertions, and logical deductions.
