What we are doing here is not the same as destroying the World Trade Center, it is not the same as committing genocide against the Jews, and it is not the same as any other of the things you have stupidly compared our writing to. Those things involved physically harming someone, taking away their life, or taking away their liberties. They were also done with actual malice. Writing a page that you find offensive fills none of these criteria. There is no malice and you are deprived of none of your rights. There is no right to be left unoffended. There is no right to be uninsulted. There is no right to be respected by others. There is no right to silence people whose ideas you disagree with. There is no right to stop a behavior just because it doesn't promote brotherly love.
This isn't a liberal thing. This isn't a conservative thing. These are the base philosophical positions upon which the Credal Nation of the United States was built, these are the ideas that made it the most prosperous nation in the history of the world, and these are the ideas that you will have to get used to and accept if you want to get anything done around here.---Rev. Isra(talk) 22:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
To make this crystal clear to everyone: The United States is a sovereign nation, so international law has effect inside the U.S. only if it has been given effect by a valid United States law or treaty. Because the Constitution of the United States of America prohibits laws that abridge the freedom of speech, except for those laws needed to protect an unenumerated right granted by the same Constitution, no valid U.S. law can give effect to any foreign or international law that abridges my freedom of speech. Sure, you can sue me in your country, but I don't have any assets there that you can take. Sure, you can bring criminal proceedings against me in your country, but your police can't come to the U.S. to arrest me. In reality, the only law that matters here is U.S. law. The same goes for our servers: you can sue Wikia to try to force them to remove content, but unless that judgment is rendered in a Federal Court or a court of the State of Florida, they won't have to obey it. This is why so many internet sites are hosted in the United States. This is why Wikipedia can exist. As for your freedom of speech: you have a right to say anything you want. But you don't have a right to use these servers, which are private property, to say it. ---Rev. Isra(talk) 01:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Slashy, you just showed the sort of non-American that America hates, has no respect for, and fears because of your lack of respect for our culture, sovereignty and institutions, your lack of legitimacy for the sweeping power you claim over the lives of other people, and your complete misunderstanding of the way the world works. I have done nothing to harm you, so you have no right to hold me accountable to you, and its a good thing for everyone in the world that you don't.---Rev. Isra(talk) 01:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about how badly you've messed something up. Chances are, someone else has messed up even worse. Learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time.

"I used a lot of strong language in this article, because I wanted to make a point; that the mainstream media treats homosexuality as a joke, and it's ridiculous. I personally support gay rights, donate to a PAC that supports marriage equality every month, and believe that gays should have the freedom to have their relationships, sexuality and beliefs respected by the rest of society. I just wanted to put this small note here so that people didn't think that I actually believed the satirical material I wrote in this piece, which, more than anything else, is an indictment of the television "news" we suffer from at the present time.
Remember, in the true spirit of uncyclopedia, this article (although, I would respectfully submit, not this explanation) is misinformation and satire. Please take it as such, since that is how it was intended.

We should get the Lemrick Nelson jury and the O.J. Simpson jury together. The combined vacuum power of their empty heads would probably trigger a catastrophic gravitational collapse. American justice, the best in the world!!! Especially when the jury is too stupid to know what DNA is because they flunked out of an American high school!!!
Bill Clinton gets impeached for some rather nasty sex with an intern. Bush lies and gets us into a war and . . . nothing. Let me get this straight; Bill Clinton getting orally serviced with the help of altoids the curiously strong mint is more of a problem for the country than Bush's treason and the resulting Iraq war. Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense to me. Thank god for term limits.
editUseful site links (to me, not necessarily to you)
Update: The NRV template has been given a comment feature that makes advice for the author appear right in the template box. The format is {{NRV|~~~~~|fix=message}}. See Template:NRV for more information. It's my position that the fix feature should be used whenever possible to assist both the author of the page, and the admins performing NRV cleanup, when dealing with NRV'd material.
"Lets clarify a few of the NRV rules guidelines: Don't NRV things that have {{Construction}} tags, don't NRV images, don't use offensive edit summaries when NRVing ("DIE CRUFT DIE"), don't put in offensive and falsly authoritive comments with the NRV tag "This seems kinda good, but REALLY badly made. Someone clean it up and maybe resubmit. For now, it's BALEETED."" --Splaka 21:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Naturally, I agree with the above 100%. Just because something doesn't belong here doesn't give you the right to personally attack other users. If the NRV procedure is going to work, it has to be fair, and it's up to every member of the uncyclopedia community to remember that if we aren't fair to each other, particularly n00bs, this place just won't work as well as it could. Being fair doesn't mean letting garbage stay here, but it does mean dealing with garbage in a constructive way, which means not leaving comments like "stay of execution" when you NRV a page. It also means, ideally, giving the user, especially n00bs, some rational guidance about what they should do to avoid deletion (if you don't have the time to give personalized advice, just refer them to Uncyclopedia:How To Get Started Editing).
editNRVs shouldn't be used without explaining the aspect or aspects of the page that are being criticized in the edit summary
Recently, I became involved (some would say, stumbled into and fell on my ass, see http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:VFD) in a discussion over how the NRV template should be used on uncyclopedia. After changing my opinion concerning both the scope and the wording of the template itself as a result of the conversation, I had the idea of requiring people applying the template to have to give a reason for the use of the template in the edit summary for the NRV to be effective. While this idea is apparently unpopular, and may not even be considered for inclusion as a policy, here is why I think it's a good idea:
Let's say someone puts up a page that's a horrible idea. It gets NRV'd. The person who created the page decides to write a lot more to try to fix it. They work on it. Then, since the idea, not the writing, was the reason for the NRV, it gets deleted, wasting that person's time. People who use the template should be encouraged to (perhaps required to?) explain why they are adding the template in their edit summary, since otherwise the person who created the page has no idea what needs to be done to fix it, and could end up working on a page where the idea was the reason for the NRV, and it just gets deleted anyway, despite the work.
Wouldn't it help the admin reviewing the NRV'd pages for deletion to know the original motivation for the NRV? Then it/she/he can make an informed decision on whether the page should be deleted or not, whether it's improved enough in the relevant way to justify or deny its inclusion in uncyclopedia.
If you want to change my opinion, give me a reason why this modest policy change wouldn't both help NRV accomplish its purpose, as well as make it harder for people to use the template without at least thinking about it first.
It's my opinion that the current system, where anyone can use NRV for any permissible or impermissible reason, or no reason, gives too much power to deletionists and short-circuits the consensus process for deleting articles. Requiring an explanation on the edit summary to effectively add NRV to an article requires no additional code, doesn't meaningfully complicate the system, and makes it easier both for admins to decide whether an NRV'd page should be deleted when the NRV expires, as well as making it easier for users to judge if an NRV template can be removed upon improvement of a page, and also which NRV'd pages they should put effort into and try to save.
As I've noted, if the NRV-er hates the original idea behind the page, why should people waste time in a futile effort to improve the writing when it's still going into the garbage? Don't people deserve to know what aspect of the work is being criticized when responding to this template?
It's illustrative that many people who use the template put words to effect of "seven day stay of execution" or some such in the edit summary. Is it so much to ask that the condemned should be informed of what crime it's been charged with?
As you may be aware, Admins on Uncyclopedia have the ability to block users from editing the site. This is necessary to protect the site from spamers and vandals. Unfortunately, in practice, any Admin can block anyone for any reason, however, and also in practice, fairness doesn't have much to do with the ban process, so I suppose what I have to say on the subject is, for all practical purposes, completely and utterly worthless, as proven definitively by:
Since I can't do anything about the simple fact that Admins can ban anyone (or even everyone), at any time, for any reason, or theoretically no reason, and there's nothing anybody can really do about it, I did all I decided it was possible for me to do, update the HowTo guide accordingly http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/HowTo:Get_Started_on_Editing_Uncyclopedia#If_you_get_banned and create the Ban Chapel User:Hrodulf/BanChapel, although that's mainly for my own use, for situations when http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/HowTo:Get_Started_on_Editing_Uncyclopedia#A_few_words_about_personality_conflicts doesn't cut it. Maybe I should buy some paper bags to breathe into also, since I'm probably on the way to more bannination. As has been noted several times, uncyclopedia is not a democracy. What is noted less often than that is the corollary that users have no readily discernable rights at all. It's important to remember this, otherwise you could be lulled into a false sense of security.
So remember, if you do get banned, check your sig template. It may have annoyed someone.
For those who don't know, Uncyclopedia was recently vandalized and then harassed at great length in the village dump by a pompous imbecile who has apparently decided that he has the power to control the content of every site on the internet and censor anything that offends his small-minded opinions and balsa-wood brittle ego.
This is the face of extremism. Throughout this entire episode, I've been reminded of nothing more than video I'd seen of members of the Westboro Baptist Church on youtube, for sheer irrationality, attacking anybody who disagrees and deciding that their own thoughts, ideas and beliefs are somehow the most important thing in human history, and everyone else is hateful, evil stupid and cowardly.
One of Slashy's idiotic criticisms of me when I mentioned in the forum that seeing his kind of extremism in action was a bit of a new experience to me was "What cave have you been living in for the last couple of decades?" If living in a cave would be the only way to get away from idiots like Slashy, then I'd gladly move in. However, since there are fortunately not that many people quite as horrendously stupid and arrogant as Slashy around where I live (or if there are, they leave me alone), that won't be necessary. Suffice it to say that I'm proud to live in a country where dealing with Slashy during this episode was a novelty; Slashy's attempted insult is actually high praise for the essential sanity of our community, and I'm very proud of our strong response to this refugee from a colostomy bag's attempted vandalism and intimidation. While some people may see this episode as minor, or frivolous, it isn't. We stood up to ideological aggression against our freedom of expression, we didn't mince words, we didn't retreat, we didn't surrender, we didn't give up, and we won. And Slashy will have to find some way to live with that fact. Or not. I don't give a tinker's cuss about Slashy or the feeble activities of his obviously severely damaged brain.
And I truly meant what I said in the forum about thanking everybody for helping us give Slashy the treatment he so richly deserves and earns; since a lot of people didn't read it, let me say it again, thank you Uncyclopedia, for treating Slashy in the exact manner in which a bottom feeding pile of filth like him should be, marginalized, ridiculed and universally hated for his unbelievable stupidity and apparent inability to think of anyone other than himself. If I was speaking to him, congratulations would be in order. I don't believe anyone has ever managed to become the most hated person on Uncyclopedia in only four days before.
editMy response to the above after I eventually did manage to figure out what was going on (from the Children of Hrodulf talk page)
Sorry that I found a swift-esqe holy war on the internet over one word in an article ridiclous, and chose to communicate that fact. Apparently the saying that nothing deflates faster than a punctured reputation is true. The funny thing about it is, who looks worse as a result of the Children of Hrodulf article, me for being featured in it, or you for writing it? I'll leave that for people to decide on their own. Unlike you, I respect their ability to think for themselves, develop their own opinion, and share it with the group.
I think that's all I need to say about this, at least for now.
"In today's story my pal Podi got herself into big trouble. She made a mistake and ran away, which only made things worse. Now everyone makes mistakes, but running away is never a way to handle a problem. So when you make a mistake, admit it. That's the best way I know of to start making things right again. Until later, bye now!"
From The Shaping Staff
"In today's story you saw what happened when a stranger came to the Palace. She turned out to be evil and dangerous. Of course, turning people into animals is only make-believe, but there is nothing make-believe about how dangerous some strangers can be in real life. Never accept any food or toys or money from a stranger. Don't even talk to them. And no matter what a stranger may say, never go away with them. Terrible things have happened to some kids who did. The smart thing is to just walk away, or in my case just float away!"
From The Dragon Invasion
"In today's story Skeletor tried to conquer Eternia by using animals in an evil way. Animals like all living things should be treated with kindness and respect. I hope that those of you who have a dog or cat or maybe even a hamster remember that. When we have a pet we also have a responsibility because they depend on us, but you can be sure of one thing. However much we love them, they return that love, and more. Well, time for me to disappear, bye."
From Reign of the Monster
"Boy, the fruit on that tree looks good enough to eat doesn't it? That's like a lot of things you might find around your house or in your neighborhood. But looks can fool you. Sometimes things that look or smell good can make you very sick. Remember never taste or eat anything if you're not sure what it is. The best thing to do is ask a grown up who knows. Remember it's better to be safe than sorry. Until next time!"
The modern emergence of human nature has been marked particularly by a near-fanatical devotion to the intellect, reason and intelligent awareness of humanity and its place in the universe. All superstitions, religions and activities such as playing the lottery seem to be in sharp decline. Particularly in the United States, children at a very young age are receiving Ph.D.s in fields such as microbiology and quantum astronomy without even having to leave home, thanks to a popular new product made by Sony called the Ph.D. Station, whose competition is the Microsoft X-Doctorate 360.
Alcohol and cigarette companies and hostess snack foods are also filing for bankruptcy, since it goes against human nature to attempt to escape from pain and stress by eating, drinking or smoking poisons that temporarly incapicatate the mind. Rather, human nature is to join together with other people and try to solve the real problems facing everyone, rather than grabbing a bag of funyuns, drinking a beer, and watching "dog the bounty hunter" or some other such car chase that has its own show. For this reason, illegal drug use is unheard of, and there is no need for ridiculous unconstitutional laws against drugs because nobody wants to take those nasty poisons.
Another important aspect of human nature is humans' awareness of their intellectual rights to disagree with each other. For this reason, it is unheard of for humans to have arguments with each other, because they respect all awareness in the universe, and understand that every awareness that resides within a human is entitled to its own, unique point of view of the universe. However, wearing a mets hat to the yankee's parade will still get you killed, because yankee fans aren't human: they are in fact the genetic mistakes from a failed dna experiment by Josef Stalin in an attempt to create cold-proof corn. This is why yankee fans suck.

"KillYourTelevision" is the slogan of bitter hippies and pseudo-intellectuals who majored in liberal arts and thus cannot find a job that pays more than minimum wage. Usually, the slogan is advertised on the back of their 15 year old, piece of shit automobile and is often accompanied by a "FreeTibet" bumper sticker (these cheap bastards don't want to pay for Tibet, they want it for free). They should be avoided at all costs. Lucky for you, they are easy to spot.
WARNING: VILE RACISM
The life of a jew is a very sad and dimeaning thing. Living as a jew consists of licking camel ass, living alone and beating off in your moms basement, and for that matter, living forever with your mother and father until they die or travel on their mystical Jihad. (which happens to be a complete load of shit and a waste of time. The jew boys parents just tell him they're going on one when in reality they're going to Vegas to get loaded up and have random sex with multiple people (aka becoming whore jews and not remembering shit later.) You know you have sited the illusive "jew boy" when you see a scrawny, slightly tan, girly sounding human lifeform with a yamaka ontop their heads. One "Jew boy" you know from a mile away by the large glasses and even larger nose (which is a safety mechanism for when they have a hard-on so they hit their noses before they break their dicks(their noses are huge)), he has the breath of a camel and hates it when you call him arab. He is sometimes seen dressing like a woman and wearing a turban yelling into the night. ICKY ICKY BA BA and other bable that the jewboy tries to imitate from the arab. The typical jew has a very bad sense of humor second only to his horrible smell and dirty beard, but jew boy happens to have a decent sense of humor and no beard what so ever, even though he does have a very very tiny penis (Which should make him have a very bad temper but it doesnt effect him because he's homosexual anyway.)
THE FOREGOING PASSAGE WAS ACTUALLY RACIST AGAINST ARABS. CAN YOU FIGURE OUT HOW?
The jewish conspiracy is a conspiracy of jews to take over the world. Despite the fact that white protestants are somehow superior to jews and blacks, the jews and blacks are able to control the world. or something. dammit, dont expect my political views to make sense!
