Kansas School Board Bans Pokemon

If you did some research on creationism, and scientific proof for it, you'd be surprised. If you did some research on holes in the evolution theory, you'd be surprised at what hasn't been told to you. As for the theory of relativity, the speed of light isn't a constant, therefore it can't be right.

Way to prove the worlds most renouned and argued theory in one sentence on an internet forum. Plus by your logic, neither creationism nor evolution is valid so why bother?

Hey neggars. How about this? None of us know where we came from. Quit arguing about it. Just live and love life. Does it really matter?

I'm not saying that creationism is a proven fact. I'm just pissed that evolution is impressed on kids despite thousands of flaws, and they are tought that religion is just a bunch of superstitious jibber jabber.

Exactly. It bugs me that the school is making up their minds. Why can't kids learn for themselves and research for themselves? Banning a play thing of theirs is a wrong step in the direction towards being an open minded, educated student.

Not that it would be different than any other kid born past '94 anyway.

My "exactly" was meant for Tiger Bass.

And kids aren't taught that religion is psycho babble. The extremists do a **** good job of doing that one on their own. Why is the word "*****" censored in a song, whileas "killer" and "sinner" are okay? Oh yeah, *** is a devil work. See?

Basically, **** extremists.

They do it so they can destroy capitalism to make way for the communist new world order. Pokemon is just one of their tools.

Well that's a nice thought, but there is a 0% chance of creationism being tought equally alongside evolution thanks to the ACLU (American communist lawyer union) I just think they should take all the lies out of the textbooks, and go from there.

How is it communist when it prevents the state from imposing on our civil liberties. A communist organization would want more state action, not less.

I agree with the removing of coerced religion from the state.

I think it is perfectly acceptable to teach religion in state run schools, but they should be electives, not core curriculum.

I can securely say my dad is one of these people. He is one of the most narrow-minded people on the face of this earth. He won't carry a cell phone, doesn't trust eBay even though he's never used it, doesn't like gay people "just because", thinks pot is as deadly and morally wrong as crack or meth, fairly racist, and sees nothing wrong with any of these ideas.

You'd be surprised. A few weeks ago, it said that evolution is a fact on Wikipedia. They recently took it down. I think anyone who thinks of evolution as anything more than a theory should be kicked in the nuts.

And Wikipedia should be considered a source worthy of referencing? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif C'mon, I give you more credit than that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I agree with the part in bold, at least a part of it...no scientist worth his credentials is going to come out and say that we understand completely how macroevolution from single cells to humans came about, there just isn't data to back it up.

But in 100, 200 years...will we have a better understanding? Maybe. Maybe something will come along that'll show we've been barking up the wrong tree. Theories aren't static, they're flexible, and change with time...for me, personally, evolution has enough going for it right now that I'm OK with it. Doesn't mean I actually believe it to be true, just that some of it is plausible enough to entertain.

I figured that was the case. I went to a state run college with the most liberal humanities professors you could find and one of our required books was the bible And they did not bash Christianity once.

How about we all just be happy being alive and in existence?
