For general knowledge it works for me, sometimes even more than I care to know. If I know nothing about the subject, why should I give a damn if it's wrong. No one is going to quote anything I say.

I couldn't agree more.

OK I'll buy, one of. Doesn't hold a candle to the biggest boon to porn since the polaroid.

The nice thing is, the almost instantaneous updating on many subjects. There appears to be people that have made it their goal in life to keep Wiki valid....at least in agreement with their views.

It's fast, extensive, and better than most stupid motherfucker's poorly written and formatted websites that are essentially copy and pastes of another stupid motherfucker's website.

Now come on Wolf, don't sit on the fence, playing coy....tell us what you really think :P

This would be a case where you shouldn't trust Wikipedia, even if the answer is correct to some degree.

Yes, what complete horsecrap. Take a look at another HUGE inaccuracy.

Relative to all other television and radio programs in the US, Limbaugh's audience has the highest percentage (56%) of hard news consumers.

Old subject . Stupid people have always justified their stupidity and evil via the written word ( the colonisation of America is based on crap words such as 'manifest destiny ' for example )
Wikepedia is part of that glorious written tradition .
Plus ça change , et plus c'est la même chose .

Teach your kids to think first .

Dare I ask what Wikipedia has to do with the colonization of America?

lookout123 · 11-19-2006, 07:50 PM

come on Ibram, get with it. americans are stupid, lazy, fuckers who are utterly unreliable. americans = wikipedia.

11-19-2006, 07:53 PM

I am surprised that American teenagers such as our pet Ibram can still ask questions .

11-19-2006, 07:53 PM

surprised AND DELIGHTED .

Ibby · 11-19-2006, 07:57 PM

Pet?

I'm an active, positive, hopefully respected member here (I think...), and I resent being characterized as a pet.

Especially by a troll.
