I guess you didn't expect people to read the links you posted? Only one in there had anything trying to correlate violent media with violent behavior and it was titled with one of those agenda catching titles "The Secret Truth about..."
I feel that higher taxes is best seen by conservatives, not as a misconception, but as a liberal view.
I feel that smaller government is best seen by liberals, not as a misconception, but as a conservative view.
I feel that entitlement programs is best seen by conservatives, not as a misconception but as a liberal view.
I feel that personal responsibility is best seen by liberals, not as a misconception, but as a conservative view.
If a bunch of people believe something, as in the case of creationism, then there needs to be a better way to approach the changing of public perception than to just say, "Shut the F___ up your wrong." Debating Darwin vs. ID in a science class is as bad as debating vi vs emacs in an A+ certification course. Sure they are related, but they aren't the subject. A science class should be teaching the scientific method, critical thinking and evaluation of evidence. Once these principals are established it's obvious what will prevail.
He was wrong for wanting to insure that Science teachers were able to teach Science, even to students that may be creationists? Which part was he wrong at? Should Science teachers be teaching creationism? or are you just a standard did not RTFA, knee jerk reactionist who thought he wanted to teach creationism in science class?
It'd be like finding out a Linux admin runs Windows at home. He'd be ridiculed until he had to step down with a tarnished reputation and may not ever be able to work in computers again.
except the trade mark is not part of the code and it needs to be enforced. I can't go and grab a BSD kernel source and start distributing it claiming it's Linux.
That's not 'use' as defined in this context. That's called distribution. Sniffing the coke is use, selling it is distribution. Cutting it and selling it is not use. It is still distribution.
Nope they just called the LHC a colider to get science funding. This is actually a Large Hadron Cannon. We just initiated an preemptive strike on a hostile alien world.
It's like saying I'd go to Vegas, but I don't want to grind on the slot machines, or BJ tables, or Poker/craps/whatever for a weekend. Pumping money into a slot machine and watching the pretty lights is fun for about a $quarter, but then I'm done. Ohh I could win this car, or this $65k jackpot, or...or...or.
"convicted in a trial where one piece of evidence was a brain scan."
Not the only piece of evidence? You mean there was more? Ohh, well that changes things a lot then. If someone said we have the means, motive, weapon, video footage, audio recording, 23 witness and a brain scan. Then a reporter goes out and says, "They convicted her because of a brain scan!!! Everyone run and panic!!! I for one welcome our new brain scanning overlords."
Except the republocrate will just vote themselves more power again. The system of checks and ballances work nice in that no branch of the government really get's much power over another, but it doesn't stop the growth of power, scope, and invasiveness of the government on the people.
PS. The man suggestion for republocrates in spell checker is Hippocrates. I thought it was funny.
FFII was similar. Check out the chances of getting the adamantium armor in that game. After hacking a controller to grind the pink puffs for me it still took over a month to get one.
That is why you take your experience and run. I have never stayed in a job past 2 years without a promotion. Once I see that coming, I start looking for the promotion elsewhere.
Evolution has no proof. An overwhelming pile of evidence is not proof. Evolution may be the closest thing to actual truth, but proof, there will be none. Only an all seeing, all knowing, being would be able to show proof.
You are correct in saying that Jesus is the Word, but you miss the point. Scripture is the Word. If you deny the literal inspiration of the Scriptures, then your faith is in vain. You are left with nothing to believe in but whatever you yourself make up.
Something, I, myself, make up? I prefer to derive my faith and belief from what god tells me through consciousness, subconsciousness and the understanding of right and wrong. Not from the scribbles of people 2000+ years ago. If gods greatest gift to man was free will, why would he want people to submit all faith to a churches teachings?
Actually I'm more of an agnostic leaning towards atheist, but the above would be the only way I could swing the other direction. I don't believe the bible to be a negative. In fact there are a lot of good lessons to be learned from it. I also don't see it to be a final word. I can find just as many good references and bad examples in almost any literature or story lines. Whether it's Moby Dick or Star Wars.

They didn't want an unnecessary pop-up for people to have to click through. They didn't care about the verbiage as much as that one issue.

I did my civic duty and clicked every link on their sidebar.
Shouldn't we be teaching kids to avoid conflict, rather than create it? To seek peaceful solutions, and not rely on coercion?
And be taken advantage of by every kid that didn't get this pacifistic brain washing.
Yet violent crime is at an extreme low and violent media is at an extreme high?? where do you get the link showing the opposite from?

He just showed them why it is not such a good idea to put a religious person at the head of a science organisation.
What, by saying that teachers should explain why creationism isn't scientific, when trying to get children to accept evolution?
It has nothing to do with him and the knee jerk reaction of those against the idea of him.
To quote Mel Brooks "A blaaack SHERIFF!!??"
It's not his qualifications or ability to do the job, but his perception by the people. Like it or not it's how life works.

Well, November does have me close to the use or lose time for my vacation so a week may not be as bad as it would seem.
