republicans oppose teaching of “critical thinking skills”

Quote from Ricter:

I read an old philosopher once who said that to ask that question is akin to asking why God made a universe with three dimensions, with light and dark, etc. Without the existence of evil (if only in our imagination) would good exist?

No , you cannot have a one sided duality.

good to see you are a tad brighter than pee-drinker and RPG.
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

Good can be easily defined as the accrual of pleasure and the avoidance of pain.

So, yes, good can absolutely exist without evil.

Horsecrap! , is that an example of pee-drinkers teaching of “critical thinking skills”?
 
Quote from Ricter:



I can't believe this philosophical point is so difficult to concede.

Because they know it leads to a conclusion they cannot accept.

Funny how pee-drinker is big on trying to ascribe cognitive dissonance onto others.
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

So, for the second time, why does God allow evil, if in fact he hates it?

from RCG Trader:

1)It hasn't.

2)Either God is all knowing or not. 3)His either is or is not omnipotent.

4)It has been widely stated that he hates evil.

5)If he hates evil then why not stop it.6) A good parent would give his children everything needed to succeed.

Apparently God has set his children up to fail.


1) Sure it has or pay attention lil boy.

2) all knowing
3) omnipotent
4) okay but I'm not sure evil to you and I means the same to a deity.
5) freedom of choice
6) take it up with God

So, in the end, you will twist the words of the bible into what you see fit. In other words, you can read English and simply change the the meaning of the words in your own mind to fit your own dictionary.

Why not it works for you liberals when dealing with the Constitution?
 
well then have my kids. Your kids can vote for politicians who will put more liberal justices on the supreme court. The ones who do not value the framework the founders laid out for this country. Raising children in our country does not take a village it takes good parents.

Til then,

I will raise my kids my way and I will tell them the laissez fairy punishes socialists and brings new bicycles to capitalists

You can challenge them when 18 or perhaps if I let them listen to old Springsteen.

But my kids will know about the absolute failures of socialists states... from all the eastern block countries to Cuba and central and south america. (actually they already hate the idea of income tax. From an early age when someone gave them money I came over and asked for half and told them about the govt and taxes)

They will learn that if you encourage free loaders you will have a country of free loaders and they will take down everyone's standard of living.

They will know a rising tide does help all boats.

Quote from Ricter:

I can accept the party made a mistake. As for kids being impressionable, of course they are, I wanted you to affirm that. The more impressionable they are, the more influential mom and dad are. That's the problem!

I might object to you "burning into" your own kids' heads that trickle down works, that a rising tide necessarily lifts all boats, that it's beneficial for capital to organize but not for labor to organize, that there's a Laissez Fairey that will make everything ok if government will just get out of the way, etc. You can teach them those values, but they definitely need to be challenged somewhere along the line.

You should be ok unless one of them asks, "data to support?"
