Call for a Presidential Debate on Science

Writer Matthew Chapman recently wrote a piece for the Washington Post calling for a science-only Presidential debate. While I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the candidates to embrace such a potentially difficult series of questions, a bit more emphasis on modern science and technology certainly couldn't hurt. "None of the candidates should know in advance what questions they might face. Not knowing the questions in advance would force them to study as much science as possible, and this in itself would be a marvelous thing. However, a statement would be read at the start stating that no one expects politicians to understand every aspect of the many scientific disciplines. The debate's tone would try not to be adversarial, but cordial and educational. It could even be fun."

"Actually..."

Actually, you are wrong, so actually, you should shut the fuck up.

Thanks.

PS, Actually, I hate idiots like you who preface their OPINIONS with "actually" as though in giving their opinions they are correcting some fact.

Actually, I just hate idiots who think saying "actually" is an appropriate way to begin a conversation.

Like you.

"Actually, that was a rather rude response to someone who had a differing opinion."

Um, yeah, I'm glad you got that. I was afraid it was too subtle, but you were on the ball...

With that in mind, I stopped reading your post because you're obviously an idiot.

Actually, you're probably an imbecile.
