6/14    i have a question for all you conservative freeper types out there.
        are you all creationists who hate the evil liberal consipiracy
      to teach evolution in the schools, or do you not buy into that
      part of it?  i just want to know how many science degreee recipients
      from my alma mater are part of this creationism thing.
      \_ Didn't take much to bring them kooks out, did it?
         \_ When you ignorantly slam a huge segment of the population, you're
            going to get corrected.  This is obvious to anyone who still
            retains half the brains they were born with.
      \_ Sir Issac Newton, creationist, Bible scholar fluent in Greek,
         Hebrew, and Latin, wrote extensively on the prophecies of Daniel.
         He also happened to do a few things in math, physics, and optics.
         \_ I thought he invented apples. -geordan
            \_ yeah, but he was selling blue boxes first.
            \_ I though that he invented "the fall" because of the apple
               \_ No. Mark E. Smith invented "The Fall" in Manchester in
                  1977.
      \_ You can seriously refer to yourself as possessing a "science" degree
         and doubt the existence of something more than primordial
         soup?  You sound to me like a mass media/culture
         puppet who has never considered the history of
         of civilization and your current existence.
         \_ Is anyone else having a hard time parsing this.
            \_ I think it is perfect as it stands. It is a classic
               semi-coherent tendentious rant. Leave it be.
               \_ Shrug.  It parsed in English to me.  It wasn't much of a rant
                  either.  It was a single question and a single statement.
                  Where's the rant?  I suppose it's easier for some people who
                  have trouble parsing anything longer than Jack'n'Jill to just
                  proclaim the whole thing is a rant and write it off.
      \_ 1) Not all conservatives are freepers.  I only read freeper stuff
         when it gets posted to the motd and mostly not even then. 2) Not
         all conservatives are creationists or even christians.  3) Not all
                                                    \_
                                      And not all Christians are
                                      conservatives.
         conservatives think there's an evil liberal conspiracy.  Some of us
         understand you're just confused and brainwashed.  Time has been
         known to heal this affliction in many cases.  Rarely has a mature
         adult ever become infected with the liberalism disease later in
         life after they're learned to think and respect others.
         \_ amen!
         \_ Not only that, not all people who have problems with the theory
            of evolution are 'creationists' in the usual sense. -- ilyas
         \_ mature? or have gotten old?
            \_ Mature.  "Adult" implies having reached a certain age *and* a
               certain level of maturity.  "Mature" in this context is using
               the primary meaning of the word.  I wanted to emphasise both
               age and opposite-of-childish but with extra weight placed on
               opposite-of-childish.
      \_ Most Freepers are dropouts or trolls (one of the latter).
         \_ I do not understand this sentence. Please clarify.
            \_ Which word did you have trouble with, dropout or troll?
               \_ Freepers
      \_ In the end today's liberal polity reduces to one distinguishing
         trait - victimhood.  That is what the left is selling.
         \_ stop oppressing me!
            \_ After I'm done taxing you to death (and then tax you for dying)
               I'll stop oppressing you.  -modern liberal
