    Like I said, poor choice of words. I apologize. But you're still defending those same racial slurs.

    Nope, not metaphorical. Yours just apparently isn't very good if you are representative of it. But perhaps I shouldn't judge. You may well be at the low end of the curve. Maybe you rode the short bus to school? My apologies to your school if this is so.
    Baseless, mindless attacks are not a form of debate.

    OK, teach Creationism as a theory. Teach evolution as a theory. But then if you teach those, why not teach reincarnation and Deism and Pastafarianism? These are "theories" too, aren't they?

    Be honest now, you really only have two parties. The Conservatives and Liberals hold a vast majority (and Conservatives have twice as many, so much for your Liberal view of Canada...). Then you have two parties which have a quarter of the number of seats as the Conservatives (one of these parties' sole intents is to try to break off from the rest of Canada - can't say I blame them), and ONE other seat held by some environazi.

    And now you go back to just insulting me. And why the hell is "school" in quotes? You think maybe the school I am speaking of is metaphorical? (Yes, I do know what that is.)

    I've learned about metaphors. They exist as an idea. And I've learned that Creationism exists as an idea, too. The problem is when you start teaching an idea like Creationism as absolute fact.

    Context can be a tricky thing. We got damn good democracy. And we don't need a two-party system. (Not that our politicians aren't just as partisan as yours.)

    Thank you.

    That was not ignorance, that was simply a poor choice of words.

    As for the rest of that, I didn't mean to personally accuse you. I was commenting on a few things I've noticed around here.

    1. I'm not so sure about the numbers from that poll, considering that only 885 people were asked, and that a number of other surveys show that about 20% of Americans consider themselves "non-religious."

    2. If Americans want both theories taught in schools, fine. That's democracy. Lucky for me, I live in Canada where this is not an issue.

    I would never do such a thing! Why are you slandering me?

    Back that up or retract it!

    By the way, don't you have some borscht to cook? Do you even have your Husband's permission to be posting here? Or is he passed out on vodka somewhere?

    You won't be banned for being stupid, you'll be banned for posting porn or making death threats. Jesus has brought you to this forum for a reason, and we'll try to beat the goth out of you if we have to.

    Don't be shy.

    Why would you not want both theories taught in schools? It's what We the People want.

    Americans do not believe that humans evolved, and the vast majority says that even if they evolved, God guided the process. Just 13 percent say that God was not involved.

    When you are injured and receive a settlement, choosing the best company to work with is important. A structured settlement is a great way to ensure that you will have a steady income stream for years or even decades into the future. However, not all structured settlement companies are created equal. In this blog post, ... Read more
