Well you obviously have a beef with God being mentioned in schools. Are you ok with evolution and atheism being taught? Does this violate the constitution?Wes wrote:michaelarmand, teh main point of teh 14th amendment is to prevent majorities in cities/states from passing laws or making policy that is protected by teh bill of rights. Maybe you are just dense, but having a majority stack a school board to force school to teach creationism is exactly teh kind of thing they had in mind with it. Pretty sure it was created in response to states passing laws that prevented former slaves from owning firearms to protect themselves.
Evilution doesn't equal atheism. I am pretty sure that if any teacher taught atheism in any public school there would be a mob at the gates that afternoon. But, no, I don't think any *theism should be given preference. Esp. if it is given preference over actual science. Evolution is a pretty solid bit of scientifically proven information. It should be taught, just like plate-tectonics, biology, and geology. The whole ID is just a way to sneak creationism in, even the people that promote it say so. But, hey, lets keep dumbing down the kids for political gain! I don't have a problem at all with people practicing whatever faith / lack of faith sorta thing they want, but when it crosses the line to any sort of official promotion, then I have a problem. And you should to, because one day you might find yourself in the minority, and that is what the bill of rights is about. Protecting the minority from an over zealous majority, no matter how well meaning they may be.michaelarmand wrote:Well you obviously have a beef with God being mentioned in schools.

I know what you mean. All those displaced Afghans. It was horrible. At least they weren't displaced by us. Maybe your anecdotal arguments work where you're from and with your friends, but the truth is a bit different.cliftongifford wrote:...But you can't do enough good to make up for the MILLIONS of innocent lives lost, people displaced, and a less stable world...pigsteak wrote:did ya learn anything clifton?
can you name me any war that didn't have collateral damage dead? thank God you weren't running the country when Hitler was in power. How dare we helped out then by invading a foreign country. that being said, Iraq (2nd time) was questionable, Afghanistan not much better (as far as our execution).cliftongifford wrote:Regardless of whether you're doing good or not, or think you are... What constitutional authority do you have for being there? And you didn't mention the thousands of DEAD due to collateral damage... That's the truth as I see it.
The AUMF is the constitutional authority. Joint resolution from congress authorizing the president to use necessary force against those responsible for 9/11. That's planning, aiding and committing. Afghanistan knowingly harbored Al Quaida which was viewed as aiding our attackers.cliftongifford wrote:Regardless of whether you're doing good or not, or think you are...
