I could post a specific article, but let's be honest.  That whole site is an epic fail.  Even their non political articles seems to just be one smug snarky self-congratulatory echo-chamber.  It's like if Thunderf00t and the founder of Encyclopedia Dramatica (who happens to be female) had a baby, and got him on the internet.

Oh, it's worse than that. RationalWiki is controlled by the idiots who populate Freethought Blogs. In case you need proof, just look at their Thunderf00t article. At least Encyclopedia Dramatica is meant to be satirical. RationalWiki, on the other hand, is completely serious. The entire wiki, and Freethought Blogs by extension, gives atheists a bad name as it makes us look like a bunch of smug, know-it-all assholes. If you need a big dose of stupidity, just read their article on Paul Krugman. It's a gigantic fluff piece!

Not to mention they censor people.

Because snow plows are so complex that only the government could ever possible figure out how they work or how to function with them. Then again statists think this about the roads the plows drive on too.

Damn beat me to it.

You know, when I was growing up in rural Saskatchewan, more often than not the guy who plowed the road so you could go to work/school was just some guy with a plow on the front of his tractor.

From a dude's journal on FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5251930/
(context:  the OP is an Active Duty Combat Medic (68W) in the US Army currently stationed in Afghanistan):

Title:  "Almost out of Afghanistan"
Body: "Man...  This country is a shithole.

The people here are nothing more than cavemen with cellphones that are subservient to a book written thousands of years ago that many of them can't even read.

I have been blown up and shot at, treated causalities on the battlefield and have earned the right to be called "Doc".

I have experienced a wide barrage of emotions out here from anger, to depression, to outright joy. I have been dumped by my ex and already have someone in my life who is supportive, loving, and selfless.

Mainly I am ready to leave the shitty country and get back to my life, get some god damn real food, and get back to my friends.

Only a handful of weeks left. Praise Allah!"

Emphasis was added by me.  Stay classy, OP.

actually, most can read the Qur'an (which hasn't even reached its second millennium, so it's not "thousands"): the script used to write Pashto or Dari is basically the same as that used by Arabic (which is how Shane mistook Farsi (aka Modern Persian) for Arabic). They may not necessarily know the exact meaning, but they can read it, and their Imams interpret it for them. The second part can be....problematic.

also, they're not cavemen: they would normally live in homes and maybe farm some fields but hey, let's ignore that they've had to live through four decades of war and at least three dictatorships. They'd also mind they're business, if idiots like you didn't decide that this what was best for them.

Not to mention the bit about adhering to a book for thousands of years struck me as projection.  Or at least pot calling the kettle black.  Isn't that what the USA (and Europe) have done with the Bible?  Hell, weren't the very wars he's a part of launched when Bush said "God instructed me to."? I mean come on!

Yeah...line between being honest and just being a dick.  And the OP crossed it.

You said it. I mean Pandas and red noses. That's just plain tasteless.

Something tells me this is going to be a fail. Going just by the titles:
5) You signed up for it knowing it.  Cry me a river.  Just shows they're ineffective where they're 'needed' most.
4) So?
3) Meh.
2) Yeah, that's what happens when people are in a stressful situation like being under duress, OP.  And yes according to my own criminal justice professor, the presence of a police officer is force.
With Hawkeye pointing out:  "Myth: Cops use their emergency lights whenever they want, often just to have an excuse to break traffic laws.
Truth: Vehicles log when an officer turns on his lights. So someone abusing this will have to explain to an annoyed fleet sergeant why he keeps running down his batteries for no reason."
Horseshit.  We've all seen cops do this.
1) See my response to 2. Again, cry me a river.  You mean some people actually don't react well to being herded around like cattle?  Say it ain't so!  And besides, cops dish out quite a bit of that too.

After getting a bit through 4, I stopped reading.  It's basically just the technological unemployment bit of "yes, but since they're 10 times more efficient they could still lay off 80% of their workers and still double production"  As if workers are the ONLY cost/source of production?  Really? snore.
And as Hawkeye pointed out:
"That's all well and good, but the monster world doesn't exactly appear to be in the grips of an energy crisis."
Uh...yes they were.  They said this many times.
