Allow me craigd. Here's a couple links to over 300 examples of Liberal bias found in Wikipedia:

I'm always happy to put an Anti-Gun Troll back under his bridge. Last Dollar added his typical useless two pesos. If you added his I.Q. to Ed's, you'd still be in single digits. Too bad he decided to unfold the tent he said he was permanently folding when he left us in a hissy-fit a while back.

So Ed Good, the Constitutional Scholar once again adds his take on the 2nd Amendment. It doesn't matter that Ed is wrong, as usual. What matters is Ed's oft stated opinion on the private ownership of firearms and the IRKBA. If Ed had his way, it would be state and local laws that restricted or prohibited entire classes of firearms instead of the Federal gov't. And according to him, the 2nd Amendment would have no bearing upon such infringements due to his idiotic misapplication of the 10th:

LD, you and ed brought up the 'creds', I didn't. If you like their policy, then that's great. If you open up their home page and look along the left hand column, it gives anyone easy instructions on how to contribute to their 'cred'. You and ed have one opinion, mine is a little different, that's all, plus I read between your lines. I mentioned to ed that 'I won't and can't', do you know what ed sees?

ah ax lots o questions here...git few answers...but lots o personal attacks fur jes askin...

"It is by the free exchange of ideas and opinions that we learn, and draw closer to knowledge of the truth. But the critic who lacks the cojones and courage to establish their identity by using an alias might consider the words of Theodore Roosevelt:"

As I recall, the Ethiopean Coptic Church was exempted from anti-weed laws.

Thank you for your input, Craig and Keith! FYI: When I last left this forum to head for Mexico, it was in a Dodge Diesel, not a hissy. I don't believe Hissy ever made a diesel. Why don't you check WICKI for us?

Wrong again Last Dollar. When you had your Hissy-Fit and made your farewell thread entitled "On Folding A Tent", you were already in Mexico. Your crybaby reason for leaving was comments that a couple of us made about the pictures you posted in Misfires of a whale behind your boat. You came unglued when I asked if it was a photo of Michelle Obama on another taxpayer funded vacation. I particularly enjoyed many of the unsympathetic responses you got in your obvious attention seeking cry for sympathy. Here's a few to refresh your faulty memory:















See... no Dodge truck... it was a Hissy-Fit. Not your first, but certainly one of your most dramatic. As Bob Blair points out, it would have been smarter for you to do like Alvin Linden did when he left, and return as a young girl. Except, he shouldn't have screwed up and told us about enjoying his wife's coffee and being a Viet Nam veteran after claiming to be a college girl and daughter of Alvin.

You could have called yourself Last Tampon.

I know it's a thing of the past, but I used to enjoy your fishing pictures and stories from the gulf. Only the best to you LD.

LD, re Wiki: I don't think it's as much a case of wiki being "biased" as it is of peer review . . . or a lack thereof. Sometimes wiki will even include a couple lines that the article in question is in need of further review. And sometimes people do inject their politics into wiki articles. From what I've seen, from BOTH sides of the political spectrum.

Used to be, back in the old stubby pencil/green eyeshade days of research, everyone started with Britannica. That was pretty much the gold standard. Of course outdated in today's world of instant information. But instant information is often inaccurate information, because some people are either more interested in being first, or else are more interested in injecting their opinion, than they are in the facts. "Just the facts," as SGT Friday used to say. Makes things more complicated.

Examples (but not from Wiki): I recently read about sharia in Dearborn, MI. Turns out that notion got started as a result of an article in a satirical publication. (Another article in the same publication had to do with a "boobs merit badge" for the Boy Scouts. I think you get the drift.) But those who wanted to believe there was sharia in Dearborn latched onto the satire as if it were fact.

Then there was an article about a pro-ISIS rally last December . . . except it turned out to have been an ANTI-ISIS rally, in fact. If someone had looked at the photo of people at the rally holding up a sign that said "99% of ISIS victims are Muslims!", they might have guessed it was not pro-ISIS.

The Internet can lead one down tricky paths if one is in search of facts.

I used WIKI yesterday to locate Osh Kosh Nebraska, so I could plan a lunch with Tom Bryant, spot on.....I don't believe very much of what I read on the internet, even less of what it appears to be after it's twisted. I still maintain that Hissy never made a Diesel. Thank you all for your input...

That's so right Larry. Just imagine if people had only read your selective editing of the Audobon Society's statement on hunting which appeared right here on the internet in the Lead and Condors thread several months ago. If they hadn't gone on to read what craigd and I had to say about your selective editing, they might actually believe your earlier erroneous contention that Audobon had no influence on getting lead ammunition banned in California. But it was apparently more important to attempt to prove that you were right, when you were actually wrong. Again.

Nobody ever said that Hissy made a diesel, but what is certain is that LD was already in Mexico when he posted his whale picture and made his crybaby departure from this forum. Unless, of course, he's going to try to tell us he took pictures of a whale in Kansas.
