RS just likes to explain himself, I think. Of course, I can't think of anyone else that would bother going into as much detail to do it, but that's RS for ya. And if you look at the dates, it's right when Max interjected into the Democraps thread bashing RS about another "here's a little bit...

Horseshit. :D

Canyonman, I think you are doing an admirable job and I hope you keep it up. I just want to mention that first, because I otherwise disagree with you, but I hope you don't take it personally because you're one of the few people on ET I like. I find most of what you say below based on...

Well, it doesn't even take one parent, if you're going to look at it like that. The point is, kids do not automatically know what is best for them or how they should develop. They need the guidance of responsible, mature adults; both male and female. I am stunned, actually, that the...

As for your stats...looks like it isn't just a black thing. :cool: But nobody here ever said it was just a black thing! Can you honestly deny that it is much more a "black thing", though? We can go find other stats about other problems in all cultures...that's not the point...

Blacks and watermelons? Is this something I should know about? I don't wanna offend the black kid at the grocery store if I ask him to pass me a watermelon. :) Just curious, does that one really count as a racist remark? I don't doubt your friend took it that way, but maybe she was wrong?

I don't think slamma was advising blacks how to act when oppressed -- not that there would be anything wrong with him doing so, mind you -- rather he was explaining the causes of social problems faced by blacks in America in terms that had nothing to do with oppression.

NA, you seem a bit too eager to dismiss any suggestions that inequalities between black and white America may be based on something other than racial discrimination. A quick check on the census.gov site and I whipped up the following stats. Percentage of Parent/Child situations (ie...

Yeah, and your point is? Christians go crying to mamma over evolution because evolution says we, humans, evolved from other species. We weren't specifically, specially "created" by Big Daddy In The Sky. They CAN'T HANDLE this. That is what all the hullabulloo is about.

WHO CARES about the freaking definition of an atheist. Man you theists are CLUTCHING AT STRAWS! FACT: Theists believe in a magical being that resides in a magical realm that created the world with magical means. I DO NOT. Call me whatever you want and it will not change the...

And you're wrong maxpi. It's not the scientifically established, pretty much beyond any doubt (by sane people), view point that would perish without indoctrination. It's the mind bogglingly absurd beliefs held by religious people that would perish without indoctrination.

Maxpi, man that is depressing. Truly depressing. If morons like this ever get their hands on the controls I think we can fully expect the already dismal levels of scientific literacy in America to sink even lower. I HAVE read the "creationism" side of the debate. There IS no debate...

ART, your entire strategy revolves around evasion and obfuscation. I'm not suprised no one seems interested in playing your game. If you would really like to test your views against people who are willing to take the time to respond to them -- God knows I truly cannot be bothered -- then I...

Hahaha! :D Okay, RS, or is that Ma-... nah, I won't use your real name... I admit I wrote that one just to argue for the sake of it. Maybe you were right about me! Damn, nasty, nasty habit. Might check out for a while. And hey, mr. you-know-who had half a point. If there's anyone's...

Hahaha. Typical ART. Just plain typical. Dude, who cares whether I'd believe my own eyes if that crap happened. I probably wouldn't believe it, these days, with all the special effects tech we have. I can't be bothered getting involved in your mystical metaphysical bullshit. Just go...

Oh, that's too easy. If he pulled off a couple of unmistakable miracles, like he used to do all the time back in the day. Yeah, that'd be pretty good proof. Your turn.

Maybe not, but it sure is industrial strength evidence. Anyway, is there anything you would be willing to accept as proof there is no God? There isn't, is there? Well, well, isn't that convenient for you. Fact is, jack, you're a theist because it's more emotionally satisfying to you...

cdbern, I think it's cute the way you want to look past politics and religion trying to find your 'root cause'. Unfortunately, the truth doesn't care whether you're comfortable with it or not. And the truth, in this case, is oh so painfully obvious. I think you know this. As Rearden said...

Mav, well said, my man, well said. I was eager to add my own .02 after reading some of the rather bizarre (and evasive) comments RS keeps making (true to style). But after reading all your replies I think you've outlined everything that needs outlining. Anyone that can't understand it from...

To the theists on the board: One question fellas. Imagine there's some alien who has the definitive answer to whether God created the universe and life on it or evolution did it, and he is able to prove it. He offers a wager to you. $100,000,000 if you choose correctly whether God or...
