:::::At a Hollywood-type gathering earlier this year, where mocking people who are more conservative than the performers has long been customary, the emcee mocked the performers themselves instead, and they were furious about it. Double standard?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:06, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

::::::Most humor assumes a certain shared perspective, and it is only funny if one shares that perspective. Others who are starting from a different perspective won't find the joke funny. This is true whether one is a conservative, a liberal, a whatever. Humor is a very in-group thing. [[User:Maratrean|Maratrean]] 00:10, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

::::::Absolutely Aschlafly. It is a double-standard. But that hardly has any bearing on this topic (and I would hope Conservapedia would not allow itself to sink to that level of infantile liberal "thinking"). Don't mistake my intentions. I am not trying to defend or protect PZ Myers or atheists from ridicule at all. I have no problem with the caricature of Darwin, for instance, because it is related to the subject matter of the article. The PZ Myers picture does not and would simply open Conservapedia itself to ridicule by people looking to discredit this site. That's all I'm concerned with. -[[User:MejiaS|MejiaS]] 00:55, 14 May 2011 (EDT)
