SSTDT?

[erowin]

I notice a lot of people put horrifying sexist quotes up on FSTDT. While scary, most people complain they aren't fundie per-say. There are so many good sexist quotes (love-shy *cough*) out there, on the same level as the racist ones.

Why not start a Sexists say the Darnedest Things?

You'd need a lot more sub categories, the site has a definition of fundie which I can't think of where the damn link is. But it covers sexist douchebags, political loonies and others.

Under "fundie" the site also has quotes from some truly crazy libertarians, a few narky atheists and at least one batshit insane neocon who wanted to dispose of democracy because he wanted the US to fight in Iraq for longer.

If it's horrifying/entertaining it fits I guess.

The definition of fundie that the site uses www.fstdt.net/FAQ.aspx#Fundie

ETA: This suggestion has been made several times, I believe it keeps getting shot down because it would be another section that wouldn't get much traffic, but I might be remembering wrong. Maybe if the Overlord sees this he'll comment on why.

The same suggestion was made for a Homophobes Say the Darndest Things section as well. Most people just visit the main section and I wouldn't see the point of splitting things up even further. And besides, people complain about a lack of fundie-ness all the time because they can't be bothered to read the damn FAQ where it says that there doesn't have to be a mention of anything religious for it to qualify.

I know a pal who'd love to see a Nationalists Say The Darndest Things...

[faythofdragons]

We should condense all three sections into "Crazy People Say the Darndest Things".

Maybe just a Bigots Say the Darndest Things. Better than just clumping racists into one horrific site while mixing homophobes and sexists with the Fundies.
And if we created a Crazy People say the darndest things, well, that would just make it less fun.

[erowin]

Ahh, I didn't realize 'Fundie' meant so many topics. It's just sort of morphed into a christian/religious thing.. I think a lot of people in comments don't realize it doesn't have to be religion.

Maybe a miscellaneous section? ;P

From Wiki:

Fundamentalism refers to a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (usually religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life.[1][2][3][4]

The term fundamentalism was originally coined to describe a specific package of theological beliefs that developed into a movement within the Protestant community of the United States in the early part of the 20th century, and that had its roots in the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy of that time. Until 1950, there was no entry for fundamentalism in the Oxford English Dictionary;[5] the derivative fundamentalist was added only in its second 1989 edition.[6]

The term has since been generalized to mean strong adherence to any set of beliefs in the face of criticism or unpopularity, but has by and large retained religious connotations.[6]

Fundamentalism is commonly used as a pejorative term, particularly when combined with other epithets (as in the phrase "right-wing/left-wing fundamentalists").[7][8]

So, yeah, I think that "Fundies" is a good catch-all.

Why the commentators refuse to check the FAQ before they complain about the quotes is beyond me. I mean, it's just common sense. "How is this Fundie?" is a frequently asked question. Maybe. Juuuust maybe. It's in the FAQ.

When I saw SSTDT I thought... "Saiyans Say the Darndest Things?"

Anyways. The definition for Fundie is WIIIIIIIIIDE.

Y'know, other than "HAAAAA!" and "KAKAROOOOT!"
