In my mind the new Doctor Series is definitively not a kid's show. I just saw the gas mask episode and it was very much for adults. I thought it a great episode but the resolutions had a few holes in them.
That said I saw the first episodes on the CBC back in the Early 60's. It took years of therapy
to removed some of the images from my mind.
That said. if you allow your kids to see the episode of the end human race with the woman's face having the ultimate face lift, you may get a visit from Children's Aide.
the problem with ID is that it leads nowhere. So it gods that control the evolution. How did they do it? with what methodes? What is the source of energy the gods use to contol evolution? is it Electromagnetic?

sorry I could not resist.
By the way Lynching was done by the people as well, does that make it right? Killing of the Jews in Germany was done by the people as well.
Slavery was done by the people and was well within the law, does that make it OK?
Stopping gay rights is a big issue for the Republican party. It makes sense that in order to get into getter graces with the Republican party that seems will be in power for a long time they would back off on this issue

Topping the List
Among computer and Internet companies, Microsoft, through its PAC and employees, is the largest contributor during the 2004 election cycle. The software giant's employees and PAC have donated nearly $1.9 million to federal candidates or political groups. Microsoft's donations more than triple those of any other tech company, according to Opensecrets.org.
Microsoft's PAC and employees combine to be the 19th largest single donator to the Bush campaign during the 2004 election cycle, contributing nearly $185,000 as of early July. Microsoft also shows up as Kerry's 13th largest donor, giving $136,000 to the Democratic senator from Massachusetts. Opensecrets lists Bush's top donor during the 2004 cycle as Morgan Stanley, with $561,000; Kerry's top contributor is the University of California with $405,000.
Of the nearly $1.9 million Microsoft's PAC and employees have donated to political groups during the 2004 election cycle, about half comes from individual employees. Sixty-one percent of that total has gone to Democrats, although only 47 percent of Microsoft's $857,000 in PAC contributions to federal candidates has gone to Democrats.
"These are all personal decisions," Microsoft spokesperson Ginny Terzano, says of employee donations. "They're entirely voluntary."
It's against Microsoft policy to comment on the PAC's reaTopping the List

boy that was hard
The bible was used to justify slavery
I grew up Catholic, I learned you can use the bible to justify anything you want.
from http://www.thisischurch.com/sermon/ethics.htm
Slavery was justified by Genesis 9:24. Races were considered descendants of the sons of Noah - white people from Jahphet, Jewish people from Shem (Hence Semitic), and Black people from Ham. Ham's descendants were destined to be slaves.
Apartheid. The arguments used to show Biblical support for slavery have also provided racists with a biblical justification for segregation and apartheid. Humans were seen as either 'Aryan', 'Semitic' or 'African'. (See also Deut 32:8 & Acts 17:26)
You are wrong on every point
Religion is protected and it is a choice.
I can be Buddhist and I can say to everyone that I'm a Christan, take communion and get baptised. How would you know that I don't believe in it at all?
be careful not to mix the ideas of "legitimacy" and "political realities". The Tibetan people can legitimately be considered a separate nation. The speak a different language, they write using a Indian script, their institution are not Chinese not is their culture and religion. The have been independent of China for a very long part of their history.
The political realities are that they will be under the Chinese control and nothing they or anyone else can do anything about it.
We do not know what the history of Tibet would have been without the invasion of China. Theocratic rule may well have give way to other power structure.
As an example look how IRland evolved once seperate from the UK
"separatists are too irrational and wouldn't have anything to do if they stopped fighting"
As let the American British Colonies seperation from the UK?
Or China's seperatist from Japan's rule in the last century. I'm sure that if the Chinese just "got along" with the Japanese occupiers they would be happy now right?
I was not saying that Republican where Creationist. What I said was that the cause of teaching Creationism in schoold have been espoused by the Republicans since a lot of their support has come from Evangelicals.
As a Canadian is miss the days where my neighbours where Americans as opposed to Republicans and Democrats.
"These people operate on free government grants, are are under no requirement to actually generate any applicable results"
last time I looked most scientist operate in the private sector.
"Their argument is purely based on a liberal political opposition because the plan is championed by republicans."
It think it's the other way around actualy. Republican never where pro-creationist until a large part of their support came from their support came from the Evangelical vote
it does not make you a fundametalist, it does make you unrealistic though
If students had to learn all the sides of every issue, they would leave high-school at age 50.
thank you Tony
the problem is that Creationism/Evolution have degenerated into a (mostly) Republican/Democrat thing. I'm not saying all Republicans are Creationist but the Cause of Creationism has been taken over by mostly Republican politicians
