    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    Actually you kinda made my point as when i was in HS that is what was being taught for evolution and that is what i think doesn't need to be taught with out giving other possibilities. Most creationist don't say evolution doesn't exist they say that man didn't evolve from a lower life form...

    Poll: Do you think we'll see $1.xx a gallon gas again in our lifetimes

    sure we will, IF an alternate fuel is found and catches on.. the demand for regualer gas goes down, thus with supply staying the same and demand down the price would go lower.... that is of course if nothing "accidently" happened to the supply, and we find an alternative fuel that people are...

    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    eh, I'm not sure who made the list of religions, it's fairly lengthy though, and includes several none-main stream religions such as Wiccan. I'll try and find the list again later. I will stand by my point though that any curriculum that forces a student to believe that we all evolved from a...

    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    again let me say I believe in both... and I'm happy with that, Science and religion can work well together. However, since ya'll proclaim home schooling as the answer, if some believes so strongly in creationism as to take their kid out of school, then why should they have to pay tax money to go...

    so i got a DUI...

    the limits are absurdly low, cause in all honesty you can drink Nyquil, or even some mouth washes and Blow right after and come close to blowing the legal limit. IMO if somone fails the blow test give them the standard coordination test, if they pass that, make them leave there car there and...

    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    If people don't want creationism taught in school b.c. of bible stories, or Christians forcing thier beliefs on others... then why force someone that doesn't belive evolution to hear the scientific view? that's why I say teach all views of how the universe got started and let individuals make...

    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    I think the issue here is that there shouldn't be an extremist on either side of the debate in control.. IE a creationist that pulls all science out of the class room, or a evolutionist that refuses to allow creationism to be taught in schools. Case in point in HS i had a biology teacher that...

    Is it hard to get a security clearance?

    TS typically takes 2 years or more and cost 80-85 grand on average (this from when the investigation is started NOT when you submit the paper work, that can take another 2 years depending on the urgancy of the request). a Secret clearance is 6 months to a year, and cost considerably less. Also...

    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    Well, I only skimmed this thread but from what I gather ya'll are saying that just because someone belives something other than you they shouldn't run? I know evolution is a touchy topic but seriously I think it is going over board to say someone shouldn't be a leader b.c. they don't believe in...

    General Eaton's Letter to President Bush on Veto

    Not to knock this guy's accomplishments or creditbility but there is one major flaw, he is only a 2 star. There are 2 more stars to go before he is at the top of the food chain, so I highly doubt that any of his recommendations went strait to GWB. What is more likely is that GWB is referring to...

    I'm curious

    First off I do think there should be goals, time lines etc. for the Iraqi government to make or else we start to redeploy our forces. However I don't feel this should be public information, I mean why on earth would you ever tell your enemy "If you hold out to this date we will leave the...

    According to my professor, tax laws are written by the rich, for the rich.

    Flat tax and national sells tax IMO, If the rich earn the extra money, let them spend it and get it back to the gov?t through a sales tax. The poor would spend less on extra goods and thus the sales tax would affect them less.. Then again I live by the quote ?live in debt die with life...

    Saudi Arabia's Modesty Buses Draw Fire-"In some places there are separate sides of the street women have to walk on."

    you don't have to look hard to figure out that every religion out there has extremist. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/lra.htm "The LRA rebels say they are fighting for the establishment of a government based on the biblical Ten Commandments." Just my two cents.

    This is normal ops and a good idea to make sure formal notification is sent first. possibly ok, if the intent was to keep the media from harassing him then good, if not then VERY iffy this one yeah... I don't see how this could be justified and is defiantly wrong.......
