The Roberts trash job? Where they accused him of defending AND condoning Abortion Clinic Bombings? They just pulled the ads because they said it had been 'misconstrued'. No, As Factcheck.org said, it was not even misleading. it was outright false! Oh, right. Just to get this straight, you do now tha

All they want to do is let kids know that Darwins theory has been the source of great debates, that the theory of ID exists, and if the kids want to learn more they will have to check it out on their own Why mention that ID exists, but that no other theories of creation do? It is just as "intolerant" to

In time that may be an option. But for now, I want to see it exposed to students so that perhaps one day they can prove or disprove it. Why is this the only theory to expose students to, though? Why not all theories of how life began? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF

It is McCarthism in that they are questioning associations. You know full well that calling something McCarthyism implies far more than simply "questioning associations." <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text"

They just try to cheapen it by trying to call it a fetus, when in fact it was indeed and is a baby. There is a time to drop your blinders even if you agree with pro choice. It also, in fact, was a fetus. I will drop my blinders when you take off your "I hate NARAL" glasses and accept the possibility th

When someone in intellectual authority, who dictates your success by grading what you write, spends 50 minutes grinding away at your beliefs, sometimes it doesn't help that 6 months later you get a bit of vindication in another class. The way that certain horrible teachers go about their job is not "the

He now thinks he is McNabb's pr person as since that whole thing, McNabb has been doing great. Well, not to burst his bubble, but regardless of what he said, McNabb was doing great before he said that too.

That's why I think it is a bit difficult to discuss teaching something in class when no one wants to address what is going to be taught (when most people aren't suggesting anything be "taught" at all). I think this would be remedied if the proponents of teaching it proposed teaching it in a philosophy

No. He is a football fanatic. Are you perhaps referring to the nonissue of him accusing the media of promoting McNabb as the Black QB? There were a lot of disputes in football this year.

Rush already came clean and indeed, he would not have been buying the stuff on the black market if he was really Doc Shopping,Think about that. It was a joke, and not even the main point of the article. Under the new law, your information can be stolen and no one is obligated to tell you. <

Maybe, MAYBE if you consider first world countries these ideas about "automated farms" might pan out, but we can't feed the world now as it is. I tend to think if we did away with meat a large percent of the world would starve. You can't use that argument to say that we eat meat to survive, though. When

I agree, but you do not take into consideration that most people do not have access to meat substitutes. We do, they dont. It isn't necessary to have meat subsitutes in order to be a vegetarian and healthy. I don't think that people in India have access to the meat substitutes we do, but there they are.

No, we eat meat to survive as we are omnivors. It is only recently that science has come up with alternatives to replace the meat in our diet. Howver our ancestors did not have the benefit of that science. My point was meant to refer specifically to the day and age in which we live. In the past, certa
