Augustine's June 2011 Screwball Derail

[Augustine2004]

Even Wikipedia knows they have reliability problems. That's why they started programs like this:

http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2010/11/05/wikipedia/

Whether that will work when anyone can change it remains to be seen. I just don't see using academics for something like the Christian Right either, not that they would be likely to get someone pro-Christian if they did.

Of course, I thought just reading Wikipedia about something you know proves it's unreliable

The Wikipedia article does have links to outside sources.
Take this for example

Some groups within the Christian Right, such as the American Christian Zionists, believe the establishment of the state of Israel was a precursor to the Second Coming of Christ. They also claim that war between the Jews and Arabs was prophesied in the Bible.[52] Ed McAteer, founder of the Moral Majority, said of the current situation in the Middle East: "I believe that we are seeing prophecy unfold so rapidly and dramatically and wonderfully and, without exaggerating, makes me breathless."[52]

Many people have criticized this view. One such critic, Israeli political analyst Yossi Alpher, said, "It’s not good for the Jews. We have to get God out of this conflict if we’re going to have any chance to survive as a healthy, secure Jewish state."[52]

52.^ a b c "Zion's Christian Soldiers". CBS 60 Minutes. 2003-06-08. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/...in524268.shtml.

I already had read something about those whacko elements of the Christian Right, and the article fitted what I could remember. LOOK: nothing is perfect, and you're an ass for expecting perfection. Insisting on perfection is going to earn you a screwball nomination. One Bad Pig, copy. Manwe, copy.

[Teluog]

Screwball to YOU! Maybe the USFG was truthful this time, but we have no independent means of verification. And a screwball to One Bad Pig for degrinating Wikipedia especially my citations of Wikipedia articles then amening a post that slammed someone for questioning the USFG's account of an event, without giving verifiable reasons for his amen.

Screwball to Augustine for whining like a little girl whenever someone disagrees with his ridiculous opinions.

Geez, you sound like gharfish.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Yea, he sounds like Teluog's mom whenever we get into a lover's spat.

[Challenger Grim]

Only 28? Clearly you're doing it wrong.

A friend of mine has helped me build up an immunity. He can be in and out in an hour. I'm still not that good.

[jpholding]

Die in a house fire.

Why would you want a perfectly good house to burn down like that?

[One Bad Pig]

Why would you want a perfectly good house to burn down like that?

He's Canadian. Maybe he's protesting the postal strike.

I don't think anyone is expecting perfection, quite the opposite in fact. You have to read Wikipedia (and everything else for that matter) with discernment. A few wackos within a group does not make an entire government plot.

But, given some of your previous posts, I did expect insults from you

[Teluog]

It's like Leviticus says, when something unclean such as the Horny Doofus or his mom enters a house, that house must be destroyed.

Sure that's not from the Book of 2 Opinions?

Yes! I just don't understand why One Bad Pig keeps slamming my Wikipedia citiations. They are just to start with, for crying out aloud. Now if I seem like Manwe's wailing mom and someone says so, well, I'm going to complain about One Bad Pig's hoity toity attitude towards Internet sources whenever he complains about my citations without suggesting his preferred sources. Oh, maybe he is so supercilious that he actually doesn't have any. O what is one to do :waa:

Huh?? The wackos can't do everything by themselves, is that what you are thinking? In any case, would you mind expanding on that, just to enlighten me?

But, given some of your previous posts, I did expect insults from you

I can be quite insulting when foolishness runs rampant. Teluog, for example, now there's a target.

About enlightening me, I ask questions, because I am a creature seeking lightness. But unfortunately, creatures of darkness, such as Manwe, One Bad Pig, and Challenger Grim do nothing to bring light into Sty-gian corners. Or deliberately make people stumble about in the darkness.

You sound like you been hiding in the Qumran caves for the last thousand years.

[Augustine2004]

that idiot judge

Rum Tum Tugger actually insulted a gummit functionary!! *shriek* :faint:

[Augustine2004]

I'm trying to figure out why you would say that. Do people who hid in Qumran caves really write like that?

[ApologiaPhoenix]

Wow. I feel sorry for OBP and CG. They've been put in the same group as the horny doofus.
