Oh God....

well, time to tear it up:

Our governor here in Kentucky has decided to implement the new Common Core "Next Generation" science standards. Progressives are celebrating this move for a few reasons : 1) It will put us in line with many other states, which is great because we all know a diverse and enriching education must be in utter uniformity with the national collective and in compliance with the federal agenda. 2) The criteria calls for a renewed emphasis on man-caused climate change and, of course, evolution. Evolution — atheistic, nihilistic, materialistic, mindless evolution — must be taught as fact, without other ideas presented to compete with the theory.

1. Good for the governor: if we must have official curricula (something I oppose), it might as well teach what isn't bullshit.
2. Funny, I didn't know Scientific theories had a religious leaning.....And there is nothing to compete with it on the scientific front.

Proponents say that atheistic evolution is the only thing that belongs in the classroom because religion and science just don't mix.

No, I propose that evolution be taught in science classrooms, simply because it is the best--and only--reasonable scientific model we have to account for the diversity of life. I am not against teaching that God created life, but that belongs in a different class (namely, religion class), and should not be mandatory.

I agree, partially at least. Some religions don't gel with science — religions like Scientology or, say, Atheism. The followers of the COA (Church of Atheism) are not only hostile to science, they are aggressively allergic to history and philosophy as well. They are the ones who constantly need to alter and warp these subjects, so as to fit them all in their tiny little box of nihilism and emptiness. A Christian doesn't need to be so selective and manipulative because he is part of something full, rational, multi-faceted and universal. He is part of something that, as Chesterton said, has "a multiplicity and subtlety and imagination about the varieties of life which is far beyond the bald or breezy platitudes of most ancient or modern philosophy. In a word, there is more in it; it finds more in existence to think about; it gets more out of life."

[/quote]

Atheism makes no implications on how life achieved its diversity: it certainly does not imply Evolution is correct. Nor does it have any bearing on science. Also, what about Christian Creationists? they come across as manipulative motherfuckers--same with the Muslim creationists I've had to deal with, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or Jewish, or yes, even the occasional Atheist ones (don't ask--long story: just switch God with Aliens or something to get an idea).


The rest can be rebutted in the following summary: yes, Christianity itself is no hinderence to science. Same with Islam , Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, and yes, Judaism. But here's the thing: it wasn't necessarily because they were Christian or Muslim or Hindu that they made their discoveries: it was because they wondered about the world about them, and weren't afraid of Dogma to do their thing. They didn't see science as "Atheist" or "Christian" or what have you: they drank the water for what it was. However, when religion is used to prop up the political power of a ruler or a hierarchy (say, the papacy, or the post Mongolian Muslim world, etc), then knowledge and progress with decline: because it becomes the case that curiosity is treason: if one can overturn the Earth Centered model, what's to stop the overturning of a pope? or a Caliph? In fact, Galileo was suppressed, not because it was against the bible what he found, but because it was seen as a threat to papal authority during the thirty years' war. That is why I do not want religion with government: it's like Gasoline and water, or Uranium in an implosion device...the result is total destruction.

And Steno is not the Father of Geology; Hutton was. seriously man, what the fuck....

From the Los Angeles Times:

The amount of bandwidth used for copyright infringement in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific has grown nearly 160 percent since November 2011, accounting for 24 percent of total Internet bandwidth...

Really? One quarter of the world's internet bandwidth is used for piracy?

In January 2013, 327 million unique users illegally sought copyrighted content

So, the population of the United States illegally seeks illegal content? And it's 'unique users', so it's literally saying 327 million individual  people tried to get something illegally; as opposed to claiming 3.27 million tried to get 100 items each, or 1 person tried to get 327 million items.

One quarter is used for file sharing. They just ASSUME that all file sharing is piracy.

If capitalism had anything to do with the Holocaust, it was that the Nazis considered it an invention of the Jews. Anti-capitalism does have close ties to anti-Semitism. Those Jews do own the big banks, after all.

I would have thought this was something from The Onion had you not provided the link.

" @Van: Actually short bus the latest statistics indicate more people in the Republican Party are on welfare than Democrats living in the "Ghetto." Also nine of the top ten welfare collecting states have Republican Governors. The states with the worst infrastructures and education systems are also Republican controlled states. You have it backwards you fuckwit. It's the taxes of Democrats that are supporting you welfare collecting trailer trash conservatards. Don't even get me started on farm subsidies or as I like to call it "farm.""


"There is nothing lower than a white trash Teabagger on welfare complaining about blacks and hispanics on welfare. True story..."

"I also saw the rankings for the best and worst public educational systems in the country on that page 9 of the top 10 are Republican dominated states. No big surprises there,right?"
Here's another cool stat. The welfare programs in this country have not overpaid anybody on welfare but you know who did get overpaid? People collecting farm subsidies were overpaid 17 million dollars last year alone and six Republican members of congress collect farm subsidies. All six have openly criticized the current welfare program in this country. Hmmmmmm?!"


"Van thinks Democrats are stupid or at least says that because he is a wealthy Republican. He doesn't want to be taxed his fair share like the rest of us. You are in the simplest terms a greedy bastard trying to protect his stash. I can see why.I really can Van. You have a very pretty wife and yet you look like Telly Savalas,lmfao!!! Do you think she's with you fir your good looks and glowing personality? I kinda' doubt it...."

This is absolutely frightening: http://fox6now.com/2013/09/16/young-boy-donates-savings-to-greenfield-police-department/

"Young boy donates savings to Greenfield Police Department"

And why?

""In social studies class we learned about 9/11 and all the great things the police and fire department did," Siepert said."

Hmph. Guess they didn't bother covering asset forfeiture. And statists wonder why we call public schools state indoctrination centers!

"In fact you remove a lot of risk by doing things together. The more people, the less risk for the individual. In Denmark we more or less all pay the price for the risk people take. Nothing can really go wrong and you "always" get another chance. I don't mind a system like that and it does make sure that people are prepared to risk a little more and it creates more mobility in society. Of course with globalisation and all, such a system is under attack and it will probably not hold, unless more adopt such a system.

History also shows that some of the great progress in farming, was solved with a socialistic form of ownership. Today, more and more go together to form such relationships again in order to compete and minimise risk."
