Religion and politics are the topic of drunkards and fools. I just hope we're all alcoholics
Someone said something about evolution being taught in American schools
being compromised by religious values. I guess they meant all that "intelligent design" stuff.
I don't like evolution being taught in schools either. but for other reasons.
One, the theories of evolution are constantly changing. What is accepted
in one semester can be made totally obsolete in the next semester by new findings.
Two. The quality of teachers that teach science as a whole and how most school districts get their teachers at that level. I read somewhere where like 20% of biology teachers doubted the theory of evolution. But it's a paycheck so that's why they teach it.
Three. and this is the most important reason. The age level of the students being taught this is too young. they don't have the attention power developed yet to fully understand what's being taught. I know of so many people that are my age that laugh and make fun of how stupid people are that believe in evolution, basing this idea on crap they only paid half attention to while half baked in high school.
That's why I object to evolution being taught in schools - I fail to see where anyone learns anything from it.
LOL ...

Uh anti-Islamic/anti arab... yeah right, The mayor of Beverly Hills, that bastion of excess of the evil empire, has an Iranian American as Mayor.
IRANIAN???!!!??? (well he is Jewish - still an IRANIAN???)
The first Islamic congressman was sworn in using a Koran that was originally belonged to Thomas Jefferson.
there's some hate crimes here and there, but not nowhere near the extent of what happens in other countries. And I mean western industrialized ones.
no what we have is usually some really stupid teenagers with too much time on their hands. and they're just as likely to vandalize a mail box as a mosque. That's one thing you can say decent about the US, we gotten away from the lynchings and the cross burnings and that sort of crap.
It still happens from time to time, but it is no longer tolerated.
In fact as an American, I was under the belief I was obligated to fight to the death to insure my catholic neighbors and the islamic guy I get gas from can practice their faiths freely. It doesn't matter that I think they worship God funny. They think the same of me. But they're Texans...oops Americans.
But that's nothing, we'll probably have our first undocumented worker for president in about 20 years.
LOL I can visualize this stretch limo with a motorcycle escort pulling up to a convenience store. The back window rolls down and an arm in a suit protrudes out waving two fingers on the hand.....
