I don't believe it
Spend any time on Yahoo! Answers and you'll see the WWW hasn't made any difference. If anything it's made things worse as they get their "information" from woo-woo sites "doom in 2012" and creationist lie factories "atheists claim universe created in big bang from two atoms / rocks colliding".

The sheer fuckwittery displayed can only be accounted for by trollery, deliberate lying,juvenile years or adult stupidity. Ever seen Conservapedia?

That is seriously scary!
Check out the entry on dinosaurs!

I have never seen the term "creation science" used seriously before, and there it is - about 7 times on the first page.

I would never have imagined that censorship of the internet could possibly be a good thing, but really - there could be children reading that stuff!

It describes itself as a resource for home-schooled children
I would be far happier if one could just dismiss them as nutters and say live and let live, but the sad truth is that groups like this have enormous influence over Republican American politics. Just look at how much of the front page is given over to political discourse. It's insane.

Well...
... I suppose that so long as they remain isolated from the rest of society it won't be too much of an issue!

That's appalling.

I only had time to look at a few pages, but I loved "feminism" - feminists do things like:

shirk traditional gender activities, like baking[7]

(I'm a bloke and I love baking)

More seriously though, the page on deliberate ignorance is utterly petrifying. It would be hard to concoct a page more terrifyingly wrong than that one.

If only they were remaining in their own loony bullshit daydream
"Founded initially in November 2006 as a way to educate advanced, college-bound homeschoolers, this resource has grown into a marvelous source of information for students, adults and teachers alike"

Seriously, most of the time if I find something on the web that I don't like then I'm happy enough to just shrug, walk away and leave them to get on with it. But that site..... ah, it just makes me feel so uneasy. And the absolute shite that they're spewing... it shocks me that people could believe it, when it screams its obvious ignorance.

Gah, I could rant in this vein for a while, but I won't.

As I said, I'm mostly happy to let people do and think what they like, but that site makes me want to intervene, to drag its patrons kicking and screaming to the truth. Or at least away from the lies. But where the chuntering fuck would you start?

I'm scared, very scared. This is what the George Bush (I and II) years
have wraught. I'm sorry, very sorry to the rest of the world. Please forgive me or at least don't hate me personally.

I don't think we can hold you personally responsible...
... unless of course you are an editor on that site, in which case you should be ashamed of yourself.
