The realy sad thing is that there WILL be a 'next'

WHA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

*poot poot*

BONG!!!!!!!!!!

(the gong rings out clearly as Jamie Farr laughs at this mockery of legislation)

Thankfully that ridiculous bill got killed. Florida and it's educational system has enough economic problems without passing a bill that would lead to a lawsuit which would cost millions to defend and would have no chance of being defended against. How many defeats will the extremist religionists experience before they learn that if they want to push their beliefs they need to go find a new country to do it in?

Hey DS! Yeah, it's been a while! I got really busy for a while between travel for work and just trying to get more of my massive remodeling done at home! and stopped checking in here. Also got a bit frustrated at having to counter the same asinine arguments over and over again! I'll probably only check in once in a while.

Anything new?

No worries about that. I'd hate to see them try to ruin your country as well. Basically they need to all get together, find a big area of land somewhere, and form their own country instead of pushing their beliefs on other in violation of the laws of THIS country. They can even annoint Duane Gish or Michael Behe as their leader if they wish, and call their country Moronia. ;)

Dennis!!!! Welcome back, long time no hear from. Of course nothing is new. Same old same old, I also am becoming burnt out from the same old arguments.

We are still hearing:

1.“Yeah, but it’s only a theory.”
2.“Where are the transitional fossils?”(Psst, it is in your DNA).
3.“If we wuz evolved from monkees, hoz come monkees is still around?”
4.“Darwin was a racist.”
5. People that accept the facts and theory of evolution are immoral.
6. Evolution = Atheism
7. Evolution = Eugenics
8. Evolution = Abiogenesis
9. Evolution = Abortion
10. Evolution = Homosexuality

Yada, yada, yada.

Anyway. Welcome back. You have been missed.

Now if only Darwin’s Left Nut/Singh, Ray, Hoosier Jarhead, Ridge, Edape and Not Amused would check in once in a while I can stop worrying.

Where are you guys?

Especially you Singh, I’m worried that a tornado gotcha!!!

Katydid! How are you? Thanks for the welcome. I didn't realize so many of the other regulars haven't been around either. I've been perusing a number of the boards and see that good ol' Fossil Bob is still patiently and expertly correcting all of the creationist misconceptions and lies about geology...over and over again...that man has the patience of a saint!

Yes, that would probably be even more appropriate!

I've been well, thank you.

You are right about Fossil Bob, he does have the patience of a saint, and I have never seen him lose his temper here (unlike yours truly!!).

Yes, quite a few of the regulars are gone.

PCD, where are you Patrick?

And Ossuary, you need to check in here also, so I can stop worrying about you too!!!

Ridge and Ray pop in once in a while. Haven't seen Hoosier Jarhead in AGES. I was wandering what had happened to DLN.

I have been getting frustrated with the IDiots. Same ol' arguments over and over. You tell them where they are wrong and they still say the same things over and over.

Plus, Expelled seems to have really brought them out of their hidey holes. There are TONS of them lately.

I saw Oss on some thread about a week ago, I think. PCD has been away for quite a while. Think he is staying pretty busy.

I know, it is frustrating, as Fossil Bob said in another thread, "It is like playing Whack-A-Mole".

I love that analogy!!!!!

This really grieves me--even more than the BS in the movie itself.

It's as if they're all reinvigorated because "someone who people think is smart agrees with US!"

Sigh.

"And he obviously doesn't have an agenda, unlike those crazy atheistic heathen godless scientists, who are all trying to force us to learn evolution to further their Nazi plan of world domination!"

More sigh.

It's kinda sad,but I'm pretty positive Ben Stein gets credibility based on the fact that he has played a teacher more than once.
