yeah, still hilarious how he's trying to argue when he's so clearly out of his depth.

It is a serious question. Don't they have a disclaimer?

any study I've seen that looks into its accuracy finds that it doesn't have any more mistakes than conventional encyclopedias, though its mistakes tend to have more intentional bias than simply being mistaken.

For instance, I still will probably say something about the statement they have on one of the Occupy pages that suggests Canada has never seen such unrest as the occupy Canada movement, likely written by some occupy supporter who was far to enthusiastic about their numbers (for instance, the Marijuana marches held in Canada literally draw about 10x the number of protesters than the "day of anger" occupy protest did... not to mention our 3 regional separatist movements, native occupations of Caledonia [its crazy, look it up], etc, etc, etc)

I wasn't questioning the accuracy of any Wikipedia article, in fact I'm a steadfast proponent of it as a legitimate source in (most) instances.

No, it says it's prone to bias, and the co founder says not to trust it.

...if Wikipedia is unreliable, and it says it's not reliable, that means it IS reliable....? O_o

Seriously though, it's common sense that anything said on an open wiki should be taken with a grain of salt. It's good for general info, but the main for "serious" debate I'd rather see quotes from the sources Wikipedia is quoting, than from Wikipedia itself..

And I'd try and take over the world.

With possible success, this time around.

Ya, that was the point I was getting at. 😎

Wouldn't that be tantamount to ruling the Earth? Owning all the natural resources? So the question would be, "if you were world dictator...?"

build an army take over the world making one government.
then thrusting my nation into a new millennium of science.
do away with religion. hmm all i can think of now

Build the largest palace on Earth, so big you can see it from space.
Bulid an army to take over the world (especially India).
End poverty in all the places in the world which i care about.
Completly remove all white people from Earth by putting them in a rocket and shooting it towards the Sun.

That's all i can think of at the moment.

virulent racism

I would buy DC comics to get them away from WB and set them up as an independent company and back their tv shows and movies.

Majid can't be racist remember? It doesn't count if you hate white people.

Fantastic idea.

I would go even further by merging both Marvel and DC into one company so that way you would have all my favourite Marvel/DC characters in a single comic universe.

How can you like superhero comics? 95% of the characters are white.
