GNelson: minor info

'''''Spore''''' is a forthcoming [[computer]] god [[video game|game]] by Will Wright, the creator of ''The Sims'' and the ''SimCity'' series, which has currently peaked at ''SimCity 4''. Wright has aspired to the creation of video games which mimic or replicate life, in an entertaining fashion, and the trend of the SimCity games was towards greater accuracy, realism, depth of control, and detail.

In this sense, ''Spore'' is a departure from the trend. In the game, the player takes control of a single cell, and guides the [[evolution]] of its species through a vast time span, eventually becoming an [[animal]] and forming a [[civilization]], before exploring space through a UFO. Accordingly, ''Spore'' implicitly accepts the [[Theory of evolution]] as truth, and rejects the theory of Creationism. (And wouldn't that be a dull game. What? You're gonna tell Adam not to eat the apple?)

It's release date has been confirmed as September 5<sup>th</sup> in Europe, and September 7<sup>th</sup> elsewhere.

Liberal gullibility

GNelson: spelling/grammer

'''Liberal gullibility''' is what conservatives like to call anyone that believes in something else then them. [[Michael Moore]] makes a fortune from liberal gullibility and [[Al Gore]] won a [[Nobel Prize]] on the back of it.

Examples of liberal gullibility include beliefs such as:

* Taking away [[gun]]s will prevent gun crime. (Unfortunately, if good people get rid of their guns, criminals will not. In the [[Luby's massacre]] in Killeen, Texas, people were essentially sitting ducks which resulted in the deaths of 24 people and 20 people being injured. One of the survivors, Suzanna Hupp, said she was unable to stop the incident because Texas at the time did not allow people to carry concealed weapons. She later became a politician and pushed for legislation to allow Texans to carry a concealed weapon to help prevent/limit massacres like this from happening in Texas again).
* Human beings contribute to [[global warming]]. (This has been disputed by a number of scientists including Nobel prize winners).
* Providing government health care for all will reduce illness. (Government provided healthcare would probably result in people going to the hospital more frequently than necessary, causing system overload - this happened in Massachusetts after a similar policy was enacted there. It may also cause a decrease in the number of doctors interested in becoming specialty doctors).
* Government programs reduce poverty. (The problem with such policies is that they create dependence and since poorer people have more children then the rich it only worsens the problem).
* The [[Piltdown Man]] was the missing link, and so was the [[Nebraska Man]]. ([[Liberals]] believed and taught these hoaxes for decades in the 20th century).
* Circular reasoning "proves" something. (For example, assuming an element had a half-life of 700 million years in order to "prove" that the universe is older than 700 million years).
*Legalizing drugs will kill the black market in drugs. (Whereas the black market will simply find a new market).
*Remarkable [[homing]] and [[migration]] are somehow the result of [[magnetism]].<ref>http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/dn13811-birds-can-see-the-earth</ref>
*Believing that they have seen [[UFO]]s representing intelligent life from outer space.<ref>[[Liberal]] President [[Jimmy Carter]] is the only president to have formally reported seeing a [[UFO]]. [http://www.conservapedia.com/Jimmy_Carter#UFO_Sighting]</ref>
