Acceptance of Science Bill [Failed]

[DownWithTheLeft]

I propose an amendment to strike the whole bill and replace it with:

Section 1:
Evolution and Creationism should be taught side by side

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye

[DownWithTheLeft]

I propose an amendment to strike the whole bill and replace it with:

Section 1:
Evolution and Creationism should be taught side by side

Which creationism? There's lots of different creation stories, so which ones should we teach?

I don't expect it to pass I was just throwing it out there after what Proce did to Brandon on the other bill.

[DownWithTheLeft]

This bill clearly is intended as a shot against religion.  Evolutionists are afraid if people get all the knowledge about all theories, that there crap shoot will go out the window.  Why do you oppose letting children get all the facts?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye, I don't support more children out of wedlock

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye to all

[DownWithTheLeft]

Nay
Aye
Aye

Aye, the more people who are stupid enough to smoke drugs the better

Aye

I propose an amendment to strike the whole text of the bill despite Section 3 and make

Section 1:
Marriage is between a man and a woman

Section 2:
Every man is endowed by his creator with unalienable rights

[DownWithTheLeft]

I propose an amendment to strike the whole text of the bill despite Section 3 and make

Section 1:
Marriage is between a man and a woman

Section 2:
Every man is endowed by his creator with unalienable rights

I am blocking this amendment as frivolous (section 1 violates standing marriage law, as we don't have marriages in Atlasia)

Ok, then Section 1 reads homosexuality is immoral and unnatural, better?

[DownWithTheLeft]

My Sec. 2 amendment stands and I propose to add a section 3 saying:

This law is only applicable to schools in Washington D.C. and other federal territories

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye on the amendment

[DownWithTheLeft]

The vote appears to be 4-4-1, that is a tie that goes the VP correct?

Not yet.

Another reason you should no longer be PPT no offense, we are working with a quorum of nine senators, therefore this is it.  You are purposely stalling so that Jas is the VP tomorrow and not Phil.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Someone help me with the legality of this matter, the voting was finished when Phil was still the VP, however, now Jas is the acting president and there is no VP.  So do we wait until Jas returns to being VP to do anything or is it still Phil's vote?

Also, if the amendment fails I propose to strike all my previous amendments and replace it:

A new appropriatley numbered section reading as follows:
This law shall only be applicable in federal territories

[DownWithTheLeft]

I guess we can wait until Colin returns and Jas becomes the actual VP.

What I wish we could do that I don't think we can would be to hold a second vote on the amendment with the new Senators and VP. Does anyone see things differently and think that we could do that?

BrandonH, you should my new amendment which alters the wording a little bit so we can do that.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Aye

[DownWithTheLeft]

Nay

I am against this bill because not only does it unfairly discriminate against the South, the bill has no merits other than the sponsor likes to take shots at religion.  None of things actually help children broaden their horizons, just instead of brainwashing them with Christian theories, with brainwash them with non-Christian theories.  There has to be a balance.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I am very glad we were able to fail this bill for the good of the Southeast and the whole country to promote intellectual freedom.  This is a victory for free speech!

[DownWithTheLeft]

This is a victory for free speech!

This bill had nothing to do with free speech.

It does, your bill was trying to limit what a school could talk about and teach.
