Intelligent design advocates to campaign in Kansas
Lawrence Journal-World (Kansas) ^ | 07 July 2006 | Scott Rothschild

A Seattle-based research group that advocates intelligent design said today it will campaign to educate Kansans that the science standards approved by the State Board of Education are sound.

“Kansas citizens need to have accurate information about what the science standards do,” said John West, associate director of the Center for Science & Culture for Discovery Institute.

West said the group will start an information campaign over the Internet immediately and possibly start a radio campaign. He declined to say how much the center would spend.

The decision puts the Discovery Institute in the center of hotly-contested State Board of Education school board races.

The board’s 6-4 decision to approve science standards that question evolution has been a major issue in the five board places that are up for grabs this year. The science standards are used as guidelines to what students learn in Kansas public schools.

Mainstream scientists have said the standards criticize evolution in a way that could introduce intelligent design in science classrooms. Intelligent design posits there was a master force that designed life.

"I take it you fancy yourself as a pitcher."

I used to throw pretty hard when I was a kid.

But I got this amblyobia condition. I am almost blind in one eye.

Funny, it was my left eye, so I never was tempted to pluck it out.

So mostly when we played baseball, I got to catch.

Of course, you are talking about some other sports which I never engaged in myself.

Go off and play with yourself Mr. Proctologist!

If sports metaphors are your domain, you are the master.

Ich habe ein stadt Deutsche drei jahren.

You have a city German woman three years?

Are you trying to set the world record for the number of languages you can be illiterate in?

By the way, your tagline is that of a cad.

Admin Moderator: check out the tag. I'm new here, but is this the image you want projected for your website?

Oh please Mr. Newbie.

I ain't no linguist.

Just like John F. Kennedy was not a jelly donut.

I lived in a small town in Germany for a few years. That was eons ago.

I ain't very good at the French stuff either anymore.

I gave it up for Lent, and I never went back.

Make a point before the mods catch up to your Troll butt.

You and the moderators must have got something going on.

My Tag Line was designed to be way over your head.

Take a math course you chump.

If you are nice to me, I'll explain what it means.

But please, stop whining first.

His French is equally laughable. Real "Let's pick up a French dictionary and do a word-for-word translation of an English sentence" stuff. Very impressive, if Radix is 9 years old.
