Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law
H0D_G writes "The US state of Louisiana has passed the 'Science Education Act,' a piece of legislation that could allow Intelligent design to be taught in schools. From the article: 'The act is designed to slip ID in "through the back door"'"
You know, not all of us who live here are 'backwoods hicks'. Louisiana is just the same as the USA. It's as fair to call everyone from Louisiana a 'backwoods hick' for this and saying we have no one to blame but ourselves as it is calling everyone from the USA 'idiot cowboys' because the USA elected Bush and he did all the crap he did.
I'm personally embarrassed that this bullshit has happened, and am very upset about it, but you're just being a douchebag.
Oh, and before I get any crap about 'Then why don't you just move?', ask yourself the same question whenever the USA does anything you don't like.
I'm going to generalize here, based on several years experience living in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
The people who live in Louisiana are a very very stupid lot. Naturally, you're going to find a few very brilliant outliers, but most of them are superstitious morons. This "Intelligent Design" law is only the most recent bit of evidence.
Next case.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I'd mod this troll if I had points, and I'm agnostic...
Saying with conviction that "there is nothing metaphysical out there" is just as big of a leap of faith as saying there IS a god. To me the fact that there is anything that exists at all suggests that there is something metaphysical (at the very least relative to our universe), though obviously it can't be proven to the extent that you probably want due to the nature of metaphysics.
I kind of find it interesting that on Slashdot any raving religious lunatic condemning the ways of the faithless would be modded -5 Troll, but when somebody bashes religion they're given a nudge and a wink.
