"You need to start an anti-evolution thread and the rabid ones will swarm to prove you wrong :)"
The anti-abortion threads are to be treaded lightly. Particularly if you come from the point of view that the GOP isn't doing much about it. But I wasn't aware of the anti-evolution threads.
I think FR has become downright civil. Back in the day, I couldn't even go onto the political threads sans asbestos underwear.
There are a few I've tangled with even on education topics who are just, shall we say, a bit techy. I think they just need more coffee.
