The
Conservapedia statistics page may shed some light on this subject.
You seem to be fixated on Homosexuality.
Why is that?
It isn't me that appears to be fixated on homosexuality...
It seems liberal dingbots are flooding the site with innocuous requests. Either that or they cannot find information about "gay bowel syndrome" on Wikipedia....
Honestly, I had never heard of this syndrome until I saw it on Conservapedia.
Re: What is on the minds of Conservatives.
That's hillarious.
Good grief!!!!
That's bloody bizarre.
It's real wingnut conservatives that use that site, though, isn't it?

NO, of course not, just average patriotic americans like okie, shiksa mcgentrix and Onsickdavid. It's only rabid left-wing liberals who ignore truth, justice and the american way (people like me)
That's not even funny. That's just really scarey.
This is, at the least, interesting.
We should probably resist the urge to draw conclusions form internet site statistics, but having said this I can certainly understand why Liberal members of this forum would want to bring attention to them. If given the same ammo, I'm sure I couldn't resist the urge to fire my gun (no sexual innuendo intended!)
The explanation that Liberals are stuffing the ballot box at this site is, in my opinion, pretty lame. Who knows though. If someone can set up an internet bot to cast hundreds of thousands of votes for an American Idol contestant, they probably could figure out a way to load up the stats on this site. In any case, its hardly a scientific survey, and hardly the Rosetta Stone for conservative thought.
I would guess that if one felt that homosexuality was a real and present danger to American society, one might be inclined to seek information (or in the case of the site propaganda) about the subject. I don't see how this is scary unless one makes the considerable leap from expressed objections to pogroms.
I do find continuously amusing the prevalent line of argument which contends that if someone objects to homosexuality he must be a closet homosexual himself.
I'm sure there are quite a few malicious fag-baiters who themselves are what they seem to despise, but I don't trust this impressionistic argument anymore I do the one that goes that women who adopt were just up-tight because they almost always have biological children afterwards; when they relax. While the latter is common folk lore, statistical studies prove it is not the case. My bet is that it's the same with this notion that anyone uncomfortable with homosexuality is a latent homosexual.
I also find it amusing that so many people (as evidenced by posts on this site) who profess to be entirely objective relative to human sexuality reliably resort to insults based on sexual identity when their wit runs dry. (In some cases this takes about three typed words).
Of course the argument is made that these sexual insults are ironic in nature, and I'm sure some are...but not most.
Admittedly this is the sort of impressionistic argument with which I have trouble and so can be legitimately disregarded, but if you have a scintilla of doubt in your mind I suggest you pay attention to the nature of insults that fly on this forum. I think you will be surprised how many times the Tolerant Ones sound awfully like the red-neck homophobes they decry.
Jeez, is that for real, eBrown? That would really illuminate a lot, if so.

You're gay, and so was your post.

The numbers are suspicious and I imagine that someone wrote a little program to bump up the number of visits on these pages. I would expect that Creationism or the Big Bang would reach the top ten. It is still funny.
The fact that all of these pages are serious pages is funny in itself.
This little nugget also made me laugh from their article on "Homosexual behavior".
Quote:If a male animal (such as a ruminant) mounts another male, it is not "homosexual"; that is just dominance behavior or possibly the result of poor vision.

That's ridiculous. I suffer an extreme degree of myopia with astigmatism and I have never mounted another male mistakenly thinking him a female. But I do admit that I cannot quite make out who is behind me right now.

You're not a well man, Blatham.
Why, thankyou kindly.
I went on one of my occasional youtube binges last night. A friend had sent me a portion of the transcript of the old Dick Cavett show where Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal and another guest, a female writer for the New Yorker, had all been guests and on the stage at the same time. It's a famous bit of tv. I'd seen it when it was broadcast but had quite forgotten how wonderful it was. So I looked for it on youtube but got sidetracked on a series of interviews involving Frank Zappa. I shamefully confess I hadn't known how exceptionally brilliant that man was. Descriptions of himself as "not well" would have landed happily with him too.
I got introduced to ("turned on to" was the going vernacular) Zappa's work in 1975. I don't think I was ever the same...
It was the sixties for me. But I wasn't intellectually or emotionally mature enough to get it. Many of my friends did, but I was a laggard. I wanted the world of Bing Crosby to be true.
