Do you know what the sad part is? Most people (theist) read this and tell me "I don't see why you get all worked up about it".

That would be truly sad. They are right, once a state is "converted", other will sure follow. Then, what will stop other countries like Mexico (where I live) to start doing the same thing followig the US example.

Keep in mind that in Mexico over 90% of its population is catholic.

7. Synthetic Copycat Of Living Cell Underway: Life, But Not As We Know It?

Comment by dragonfirematrix:

Science is learning so much. I am anxious to hear the news the day science creates life.

Interesting, that made me think of Dawkins' phrase : "Creative intelligences, being evolved, necessarily arrive late in the universe, and therefore cannot be responsible for designing it." What would this life think if it evolves and asks about its creation? I know he doesn't mean that but still.

Comment by dragonfirematrix

I often imagine how far more advanced humanity would be if the money spent (for example) on Abrahamic hate, wars, and oppression was directed instead to science. I venture to say we would be thousands of years ahead of where we are now.

8. How Are Humans Unique?

Noneoftheabove, I was thinking the same as you did when I was reading all those comments. However, it is not hard to understand why people act the way they did when someone like Bullet comes here preaching their "knowledge". That is what sets people off. The fact that they don't ask questions or say "I believe this and that", but because they come "showing us wrong". Of course, insults and bad language are always unnecessary. Even when most of the people who come here and think like him are complete trolls, we must maintain our composure at all times.

9. Citing Faith, Bush Defends War Actions

For non-Americans: the "fairness doctrine" was a piece of shit legislation that would allow the FCC to FORCE private broadcasting companies to air opposing viewpoints. It would effectively put an end to any sort of partisan/independent radio stations and pave the way for centrally dominated and federally controlled airwaves.

About that, here in Mexico we are going through that. After a very dirty campaign season in 2006, political parties want to use something like that. Including a "reply right" and something like "you cannot criticize political figures". This of course create a rage from public and media and everyone is trying that this doesn't get approved. The problem is, all parties have agreed to do it. Our only chance is that we create enough pressure, along with international entities, so if you can please help. We are becoming a "particracy".
