LOL!

Perhaps you fancy yourself some sort of upper crust UK wordsmtih, or a classic wiz in a debate... I would call that last post, ummm.. frustrated old man chic.

(I am laughing at you- not with you.)

:]

FWIW- I looked up a public figure, whom I happen to personally know, his biography on Wiki is full of errors- and he is by chance a Conservative. I sent my friend a link so he could contact WIki folks and tell them to change the entry. I will keep you updated.

What!?

Oh,so now you make attempts at disparaging chickens.... oh where will the abuse and the *hilarious* come backs end?

*Children do not try this at home*....These put downs are only for brilliantly witty UKmen who hang out on American political websites in their spare time.

Chickens? What on earth are you ranting on about now? Chickens do not cackle. By the way, where did you park your broomstick when you arrived home to post?

My apologies if you are a chicken, or indeed any kind of poultry. I will not however apologise for my observations about your paltry {poultry) contribution to this thread.

If you are practicing your stand up routine here.. I would suggest you stick with flipping burgers. :]

I agree flipping burgers is more profitable - since the average American weighs about 400lbs.

LOL (could you look any more ignorant? We shall see by your nest post) .... now I see why you love wiki so much. You are adverse to facts.

'We shall see by your nest post'

Again with the bird imagery. Perhaps (assuming you are under 400lbs) you could fly over to Wiki and leave some pigeon droppings on their homepage.

Any idea how this crusade is going, by the way? How many hundreds of Wiki pages have been vandalised so far?

Outside from grammatical mistakes, i found the entries to be fair and balanced.

ROTFLMAO -are you a troll?

Read these entries and see what you think?

Alfred Kinsey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2004 U.S. presidential election controversy and irregularities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is somewhat terrifying that you consider 400lbs to be the normal size.

Have you seen the documentary Supersize Me, where the guy spends a month gorging himself on McDonald's? The sad thing about that movie is that, rather than shock people, it probably encouraged the country's fatties to go out and eat MORE. On second thoughts, I doubt they actually went out - the lazy lardasses would probably have got their Big Macs delivered to them.

The first two seem fairly accurate. Perhaps, to quote Jack Nicholson, you can't handle the truth.

well I guess when you are a frail 96 pound weakling everyone else looks gigantic. Home delivery of Mickie Ds? Now there is a big idea from someone with such a *firm grasp on reality*. (*snicker*)

I'm not sure what part of the Land of the Free you come from but McD's have been doing home delivery for years. Obviously, you have to make a big purchase but this should be no problem for our supersized cousins.

Check out Wikipedia's entry for "Militarism."

You'll find three culprits -- Germans, Japanese and the US:

ROTFLMAO!!!

Just a few points...

Kinsey has been proven a perverted fraud who employed junk science...

The homosexuality page refers to homosexuality in animals as if this somehow this legitimates the illegitimate, unhealthy, and procreatively impotent CHOICE of homosexual activity (note: animals also eat their young and kill indiscriminately LOL) -- Additionally [they] cite the previously mentioned junk science quack pervert Kinsey AS IF this somehow further bolsters the case...

Yeah -I can't handle the truth...

LOL Actually it is the delusional lefists that can't handle the truth so they make up their own!

Anybody that thinks wikipedia is the 'truth' needs intense deprogramming and devillagification...

I did check out some of the articles, and did notice some leftist bias. People are going to disagree about facts, but there's a degree of petty and avoidable bias in the language and tone that really doesn't have any excuse.

They key is competition. Once wikipedia gets some real competition things will change if enough people complain enough. The problem is that other web operations rely on wiki in stead of starting up their own on-line reference works.

I wouldn't want the encyclopedia business polarized between liberal and conservative works, but once competition starts, wikipedia will professionalize a bit, if they don't go under completely.
