Intelligence aug. seems very easy because you just put a chip on the brain that takes data and output by creating a voltage on your brain and your brain will "learn" to understand it.

Abortion is the induced termination of a pregnancy,[1] often causing fetal pain. Abortion is a billion-dollar industry[2][3][4] in the United States[5] and Western Europe except for Ireland, Malta and Poland, where it has been abolished.[6][7][8] Abortion in Poland declined by 99% after communism was overthrown, and women's health has dramatically improved there due to fewer abortions.

About 80% of women who see an ultrasound of their fetus (unborn child) decide not to abort.[9] Millions of women who had an abortion later suffer psychologically or physically from it, and support groups exist to help.[10] Many victims of abortion find healing by speaking out against, and discouraging, similar harm to other mothers and their children.[11]

As much as people want to think so, Gun control is not about keeping the weapons out of the hand of criminals. They will get them either way.

Look at the Population. Look at the ammount of criminals that use illegally obtained weapons to commit a crime. Do people use legaly obtained weapons? Sure they do look at Virgina Tech.

I disagree, I think the "sciency" articles like evolution and the relativity one has been augmented by trolls, but the general ideas were all originally in the minds of the nutjobs.

Seems like people are too fucking stupid to understand the relation between correlation and causation.

Ok. Correlation is a necessary, but not sufficient requirement for causation.

Establishing causality in (social) science=showing there's a strong correlation + controlling for variables which might be the cause too.

Establishing causality in philosophy: Can't. lol.

The funny thing is that the original author of the counterexamples to relativity article somehow draws the conclusion that relativity is directly related to social relativism, and in his fervour is attempting to disprove Einstein's relativity as a way of countering social relativism despite the fact that they are unrelated.

The talk page is the most infuriating.

When someone brings up GPS as a valid example of the usefulness of relativity

this is what Shlafly (the founder of conservapedia) responds with

"
Frank, your intuition ("seems to me") is wrong here, and the entry explains it clearly. GPS is a work of engineering and any timing discrepancies between the satellite and ground are obviously better handled directly by synchronization rather than asking a physicist what he thinks of relativity. Engineers don't even bother taking general relativity courses, let alone try to build a satellite system using them.

Dude, whoever has an account, add a point on the relativity page with

"A man has a stick 5 lightyears long, with one end at Earth and one end at Alpha Centauri. He stands at one end and pushes the stick. To a person on the other end, he would see the stick being pushed closer to him instantly, but the stick is 5 lightyears long. Therefore, the stick has moved faster than light"

One actually contained a legitimate gripe:

>>"Math Counts" a supposed national math competition for teams and individual students in grades 6-8, will not allow homeschoolers to form teams and compete thanks to a unanimous decision by their board of directors.

The article after the jump mentions that children were pulled from the schools and formed into super (homeschooler) teams, but couldn't that just as easily be fixed by the children having to be out of public schools for a certain amount of time, having to be from the same state, etc?

Yeah the wierd intelectual dissonance is staggering.

On the one hand they proclaim to present an encyclopedia with a conservative view point. On the other hand they have entirely non-intellectual articles and features like the front page


Its one thing to have a conservative or even religious bias, but what they are doing is quite another. Take the vatican newspaper the Osservatore Romano. Is it obviously biased to the catholic view point - yes. But it still maintains a degree of intellectuality that qualify it as a respected paper, if only on church issues
