Tutu says "So what you’re saying is that the standard boilerplate disclaimer at the beginning of each outside generated study is evidence that the study is fraudulent."
Uhh, wrong. I neither said nor suggested that. But, as usual, you are welcome to your delusions.
I was suggesting what ibshame so eloquently posted on May 16, 2012 at 8:51 a.m.
I noticed that you conveniently did not address the rest of the post.
Here ya go...
So how did deregulation and lack of oversight work out during the S&L crisis, the internet bubble, Enron, housing bubble, banking crisis, etc.? But hey, the rich and powerful appreciate your support.
My dear tutu, as I clearly stated the law allows the introduction of "alternative theories" in the classroom in regards to such subjects as evolution and global warming. The bill, along with myself, does not mandate it be "taught", but that it is allowable to be brought up in discussion. Are you really that ignorant of the difference?
So, once again, what other mainstream "alternative theories" to evolution are there? Here's a hint...creationism, unless you exclude the theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster which has a lot of adherents.

Oh, and tutu, my reference to our legislators enacting the posting of the Ten Commandments was well within the context of my original posting about the idiocy of our legislators.
"The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations found in this study are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of Advocacy, the United States Small Business Administration, or the United States Government."

tutu_Q- Never claimed to have a "big shiny brain" but thanks.
Oh, and I never said "that this law will allow them legally to be so taught in public schools" but don't let the facts get in the way.
In fact I never used the word "taught" tutu. As per Mr. Watsons's words "“While evolution is deemed as the origin of life, folks are sensitive to that and we should not discourage students from exploring alternative theories,”
So what other "alternative theories" do you think he has in mind tutu?
Please do expound.
Oh, and in the same session our illustrious legislators passed a bill which would allow the display of the Ten Commandments in public buildings.
Yep, our legislators are sure promoting our state. I'm sure you are proud tutu.
2-Q Are you really so ignorant as to what Mr. Watson is trying to accomplish here? Apparently so, I would not expect you to understand the subtleties of Mr. Watson's agenda.
This is a shortcut to try and allow "intelligent design" to be introduced into science classes as some form of scientific inquiry.
Mr. Watson says "“While evolution is deemed as the origin of life, folks are sensitive to that and we should not discourage students from exploring alternative theories,” Watson said, as long as they remain within state guidelines, which does not allow the endorsing of religion."
Hmm, wonder what "alternative theories" he would be talking about?
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to another theory.
There are basically two mainstream thoughts on the origins of life, evolution and creationism. One is based on scientific analysis and one is based on a book written by nomadic Bronze age people voicing an opinion.
Here is a suggestion for perhaps increasing our children's science scores. Let's allow the introduction of religious beliefs into an class environment that uses factual data and research.
Heck, throw away those science books and let's just use the Bible.
Thanks for the monkey bill Bo. You have made us the laughingstock of the nation.

Gracious, taking the Lords name in vain. Careful or you may offend some of your conservative posters here. Some here may say you are attacking or mocking their religion. I'm sure Andrew at least would be offended. Tsk tsk.
Naturally, the godless communists probably applaud your desecration.
Toes, curious as to your presumption that anyone here is advocating we become a socialist nation. Perhaps you could name one person here who has advocated this? Methinks you are confusing anyone who disagrees with your economic opinions as being for socialism.
Surely you understand that pure capitalism, in a Darwinian sense, is unworkable unless tempered by regulation and restrain to prevent the excesses of the rich and powerful. How many depressions, recessions, Enrons, dot com bubble, robber barons, S&L crisis, etc does it take to understand our capitalist system only works when we restrain and regulate the excesses inherent in a capitalist system?
Jack, not flaming. Perhaps you could define "godless commie" so we could know why you would ask someone if they are of this nature?
I would assume you know that the term is generally used in a derogatory manner?

JD, no big deal except you came back and asked the poster again to answer your question. Perhaps you were making two "attempt(s) at humor"?
