The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

This forum needs more prog rock references.

Stop.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

This forum needs more prog rock references.

But it does. Then again, we're not ones for busting through walls.

Stop.

Seriously?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

No.  And reposts that say stuff along the lines of "Since the other one was deleted" are going to keep getting 10 points.  So stop already

Yes. Prog rock is the sh*t.

[they don't love you like i love you]

I can't believe Kennedy got it right and Roberts got it wrong. This thing is unjust in many ways.

To the GOP: PUT A PAUL ON THE TICKET OR YOU LOSE

Everything from a certain poster on this page would qualify: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=155261.75

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

But evolution is not fact and shouldn't be taught as such.

Scott- you're better then this my friend. You and I both believe in evolution, but we can also be frank and admit it is a theory- a well supported one, sure- but a theory.

Atomic theory is just that, a theory. Should we nix the neutrons too?

No- but there's obviously a difference and some one expressing a view of it shouldn't have their views mocked... especially when many in our nation hold the same views. Do you folks want to only have liberals on this board? It'd be mighty boring to only have conservatives on here for me

When someone says a concept that has so much evidence backing it shouldn't be taught, then I personally don't see how that constitutes as reasonable and that's why I quoted it in this thread.  I don't want this to be an all-liberal or all-conservative board, either.

I guarantee fewer people are atheist then don't believe in evolution... yet if I put atheist views in here- which I would not- I'd get called a bigot or any name you could think of. There's a double standard on the board and while I disagree with JCL on this, I hate to see his views mocked when he's putting them forward in a polite and reasonable manner

What krazen is to the left wing- there are 5 liberals on this board who are the same to us

After most elections there are folks whom are happy if the Democrat wins, and there are folks whom are happy when the Republican wins. I would put Krazen1211 strongly in the second camp, and numerous posters here in the first camp. Surely, I strongly suspect that he took as much pleasure in the victory of Scott Walker as I did. That said, I have not noted him as being a particularly strong conservative ideologue. There seems to be a strong streak of prejuidice in this forum that equates being Republican with being "right-wing" and "extremist."

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Can we agree that this gem is absurd?

Goes to show that even the scientific community is divided. The evolution side may have a 1% edge but we have Ron and Rand Paul.

I'm a realistic Paultard and what is this

In science, "theory" has a different meaning than the everyday use of the word.  From the United States National Academy of Sciences

Evolution is a fact just like the Earth going around the sun is a fact or that we are all made of tiny things called cells is a fact.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Well, it depends on what you mean by evolution exactly.

[The Mikado]

Inks, I thought we were trying to discourage arguing in these threads, not joining the arguments.

Lets just whip out the ol' dictionary ......
Evolution noun-change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

He's not, he's just contributing to the thread by posting an absurdity directly in it.

I'm an unrealistic Paultard (Johnsontard?) and still think JCL's being nutty, especially since it was in response to me talking about Project Steve.

I don't like the feeling that I'm picking on someone, and I'm not even convinced that a thread like the deluge should be permitted, but this is exactly the kind of atrocious post that this thread is intended for.

Look at the Islamic world, they are having kids at the rate many western Christians once did and at some point may out populate the Christian world. That is something I don't want.

Why? Changing demographics is a fact and they will have huge consequences in the long run.

Because his thesis is that the use of contraceptives will lead to the fall of western civilization.

[they don't love you like i love you]

The whole thing is pretty ridiculous, but the bolded part stands out the most:

I can only concur.

I always said Rick was more electable than Romney for precisely this reason. Mitt's just so easy to attack.

Ditto, except I've always said that Romney was the easiest GOP opponent for Obama to beat.  That's why the MSM made him the candidate.  (Santorum, because he's so socially conservative and sort of an economic-liberal, would have been the second-easiest for Obama to beat, which is why the MSM left him to last.)
