Reply to Being Taught Evolution??? Sue!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

A good example taken from your metaphor would be a History teacher going point by point over why people who believe the Holocaust didn't happen are wrong, picking apart their own literature, instead of just teaching the facts of History. In a class about WWII, or specifically the holocaust, one would ho

Reply to Being Taught Evolution??? Sue!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, why not? It works for the lefties when they want to fight God in the school system, after all. Why can't---or rather shouldn't--- it work the other way? Because the precedent set by lawsuits that seek to remove the mention of God from schools can be used against other religions as effectively as t

Being Taught Evolution??? Sue!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Link So here's a stroke of genius...If you don't like what the teacher is teaching, sue them. This is what the Florida House has decided. This is perhaps the easiest piece of legislation to abuse in recent ever. This law gives students the right to sue if they feel their beliefs are not be

Good point. Since they removed the feeding tube I've been wondering why they're doing something that's going to take two weeks as opposed to a more immediate and painless solution.

I could make a clear concious exception... Really...so...disagree with moderateman...he can kill you with a clear conscience...interesting...

Reply to Starve a LIBERAL instead of Terry Schiavo in Politics JoeUser Forums

Good one, Philomedy. Do you get the feeling that moderateman is trying to rack up JU points? If it was anyone else, maybe, but I think I know him well enough to say no to that one. I think his motivations for writing controversial things are the same as mine...we just disagree on the points that we make

Reply to Starve a LIBERAL instead of Terry Schiavo in Politics JoeUser Forums

Even if a liberal wanted to starve him or herself, wouldn't conservatives be morally obligated, with their whole life-must-be-preserved-at-all-costs thing, to decide what is best for said liberal, and prevent him or her from dying?

If he had done anything 'bad' then maybe getting him help for his sleepwalking would be a better approach then to let him off without any respondsibility. Even if you have no control over what you've done (because you were asleep) you still did whatever it is and might do it again. It's actually worse then if you weren't and are

What Can You Do While Sleepwalking? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I've read a couple of news articles in the past couple of days that have brought up some mixed feelings in me. Over the last 48 hours, I have read about a man that was cleared of drunk driving charges, and another who received a verdict of not guilty for the murder of his father. The reason these two men were not found guilty is that they claimed to be sleep

I agree that the educators were probably afraid of touching the child, but I still think that the cuffs and squad car were a bit much. I think once the police were there, there could have been alternative actions to be taken that would not have been quite so traumatizing to the little girl.

If a teacher is going to TEACH and a SO CALLED Asst. Principal is going to run a school, they should be physically able to handle a small child for Gods sake! The problem with this option is the following: Teacher and/or Asst. Principal attempt to "handle" the child. While being restrained, the struggli

Hang on, but you believe God can come from nothing so obviously you do believe something can come from nothing. This is only assuming that I believe God is a "thing," not a spiritual absolute that always was. I'm familiar with your argument, and I've already presented it to myself, and I agree

facts I experienced is not hate philo. It is when you turn personal experience into a far-reaching indictment...hence my use of the word generalization.

Reply to A Taste of Canada's Liberal Crapshoot! in Politics JoeUser Forums

I see being away has taken away any ability to express yourself intelligently that you may have had. I don't even know what this is about, but I'm just going to assume I disagree considering the sheer volume of hate and generalization that you've decided to throw out here. On another note, glad to see you back, and I hope you get better soon.

I think the reason we don't think things like that about ourselves is that we tend to be our own worst critics, along with the fact that there is a thin line between confidence and conceit.

But to be 'non-biased', they would then have reported that "3 baptist democrats were joined by a Republican Catholic in over turning Mass law". Wouldn't non-biased have been "4 judges overturned Mass. law"?

I am sure you can google it, but it was not part of the story then. And it is not part of the story now. It may be a story unto itself for those who cant seem to think that a Republican is anything but a conservative Christian, but for the other 80% of us, it is not news. It is bias. Going by this de

Reply to Who cares? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

No. Again, by putting it into the first paragraph, the story is no longer about Gays Marrying, but as you just inadvertantly noted, about the fact that some Republicans and Catholics are not homophobes. The story changed due to the myopia of the reporter. The story is about two things. It's main point
