    Isn’t it just evolution that has determined the roles that women play?

    Isn't it just that this thread is or is not pointless not to the overall topic that this section of the forum isn't dedicated to? Don't we have the choice to not chose to not post in threads that are or are not like this one? Don't we?

    Using Race as a Criteria

    No, see I was actually agreeing with you now that I understand the reference frame. Thus the smacking of the self for being hasty in review of the issue.

    Using Race as a Criteria

    Actually, I do understand the "rich white kid" perspective to an extent. I was down like number 1000 on the housing waiting list at my university until my step-father spoke with his old Army Academy buddy who was the housing director and got me bumped up to the top. In my own sort of protest...

    Yeah, you know... *smacks self* Wow, the unemployment rates are higher than 8 years ago! Go little graph go!

    Using Race as a Criteria

    Choice of major, no... that's based on the personal choices and work of the individual. All the others, somewhat, but those usually aren't handed down by the government and what a private interest group wants to do with their money is their own business.

    Using Race as a Criteria

    This sort of problem is the reason for my opinion. Discrimination in favor of minorities is still discrimination based on what you are and not who you are. Positive or negative, it still send the message that no matter how well you've done, no matter how hard you've worked and applied...

    Using Race as a Criteria

    And as you can see by the graph, the unemployment rates are now actually lower now than they were 10 years ago.

    Teaching Darwinism

    One could more confidently say that the lungfish is very well adapted to its current environment. I add current, since we have evidence that the environments of most places on the planet today are not the environments that were there years ago. Had those lungfish been designed for their...

    Using Race as a Criteria

    I am of the opinion that the most bigotted and racist actions this nation can take are those that assume that racial minorities require some kind of special assistance in order to make it in this world. People should prosper from the effort they put forth, not for the color of their skin or the...

    Is it immoral to ignore the law or encourage others to do so?

    The people that the law applies to that feel slighted or oppressed by said law. That's the wonder of a democratic free state. The rights of the common person to rise up with their fellows against laws and governments that they find ill intentioned. No one really seems to remember that one of...

    Should creationist be taken seriously.

    They lack a solid evidenced theoretical foundation making it so hard to actually debate them seriously. Not to mention how many times they move the goal posts, shift the burden and resort to ad hominem attacks on the developers and supporters of theories in hopes of emotionally winning when...

    I do believe you mean the Hallucino-genes.

    Creationist Strongarm

    I know, I was kinda laughing about that. They have set up the selection pressure that any poster that questions biblical literalism will be selected against by way of bans. From this they have seen a marked rise post counts (allele frequency) for those that support their selection pressure...

    your rights end where....

    I personally feel that my rights end when they would be violational of the personal rights of another person.

    Fun with the Flood math.

    Oo oo! Me! I want god to present the evidence that can only be explained by a global flood!

    Dinoasours in the bible... where???

    Yes, but we also might say that it is a mythical creature that does not exist in this world and was instead used as a metaphor for the power of the Abrahamic God. I could really go either way on this. Either way, I'm not sure how calling the unicorn in the Bible a One-Horned Rhinoceros turns...

    Dinoasours in the bible... where???

    Well if you define it like that, then no, my cell phone is not a fire truck. However, your posit is that Unicorn is defined as "horned animal that is strong" which is all I really get from those bible verses as describing them. This leaves a vague enough description such that just about any...

    Dinoasours in the bible... where???

    By that reasoning since all fire trucks are red and shiny, my cell phone is a fire truck since it is also red and shiny.

    Shades of Creationism?

    Wow, so many different ways to completely ignore the established body of evidence and to give up on the "We don't know yet" areas of science.
