LOL!
Posts like this are why I gave up trying to parody creationists.
Well I live out here in the land of Oz, and it's important enough to me. Fortunately I live in the 2nd district where my school board rep is a responsible Republican who has sense enough to leave the science curriculum to actual scientists.
Or it might hasten the return of true conservatives to the leadership of the party.
I'd rather the school board explain why they hired an education commissioner with no background in education but who happens to support vouchers, or let us know the reasoning behind the proposal to turn sex education into a 6 week course, 99% of it concentrating on abstinence (it's currently covered in 2 or 3 classes). Those are only the latest crazy stunts of these bozos. The state has real issues in education. The funding for schools is crazy, the bureaucracy that supports the schools is bloated, and we have a Supreme Court that has just mandated that the state dump another $500 million into school funding AND NOBODY IS FIGHTING THEM ON THIS. But those aren't on the board's radar screen, introducing creationism is.
The board members should have voted by raising their tails and throwing coconuts at the vote counter.
So if I say Pelosi is full of coconuts, will everyone know what I mean?

You'd have to become one to be able compete at the highest levels.
Creationists themselves are the best argument for evolution, for they have not evolved.
I stand corrected. Here's my rewrite: "Now there's a fair and balanced editorial."
Now even editorials are supposed to reflect reason and judgment, not just spew forth half-baked pre-conceived and entirely unilluminated notions, not supported by qualified evidence.
If you don't find anything "wrong" with the excerpt I gave, it must be because you're just not trying.
On the other hand, maybe you think that "waving the bloody shirt" constitutes a valid appeal to reason.
I never understood why we even need sex education in schools, any more than we need personal hygene education. These are things parents are perfectly qualified to teach, and hence should teach. School is supposed to be for academic material, which benefits from professional instruction. Parents have the responsibility to teach the basics about life that every adult knows.
Now I know some parents are squeamish about sex and refuse to teach their kids. This I cannot comprehend, since my parents had absolutely no problem teaching me the facts of life quite early (I was 8). Nevertheless, schools should not become a means by which parents shirk their responsibility.
Now, I suppose there are some parents who are uncomfortable teaching their kids these things, something which I don't undersand either. Nevertheless, I don't think public schools should be used as a means of letting parents shirk their responsibility.
You don't read many MSM editorials, do you?
Alas, we do indeed need personal hygiene education in schools. (Mrs. Gumlegs is a teacher and has stories that would curl your students' hair if it hadn't all been shaved off in a last ditch attempt to combat lice. So to speak).
I think it is good that ID folks combine together and rallly against darwinimsn.
Then again, I am a pro-choice Darwin guy, and love to laugh (ah ha ha haha) at the nutjobs.
So keep digging yourself deeper, ID folks. The rest of us just stand back, and say "wow." We dance, too, and have oral sex. We leave the lights on.
In my opinion, you are all a cult.
Evolution does not explane fat chicks.
And yet, they are here on this thread.
Yikes. Did she call social services?
No. For politically correct reasons. (File under: City Hall, You Can't Fight).
I don't know, one of the highlights of the swimming section of high school PE was the lecture on why we should not hock a loogie in the pool. They were very graphic.
No. The nose tends to contain pathogenic staph. It has both a protective film and a peroxidase enzyme that breaks down the Cl before it can have an effect. The Cl concentration is too low. White blood cells(T) release bleach from their vacuoles to destroy targets. The peroxidase from certain bacteria breaks down that hypochorite.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
