Quite!

Quote:
and dismiss evolution as badly as you attempt.


Put a sock in it fm. When have I dismissed evolution? Or attempted to? Can you not stop yourself from making up these silly things? I take evolution seriously. That's how I know how dangerous the theory is for youngsters a proportion of whom have high IQs. And Darwin was aware of the danger too. Acutely.

Quote:
"Its laufghable to think we are related to the brutish apes of the jungle"


It is too. We laugh about it a great deal in the pub on Sat. nights. It is perhaps the most amusing aspect of life. It can geld a man. I know people who cannot watch Mr Attenborough's programmes for that very reason. We are related to lizards too. Kimoda Dragons as well. It's a good thing to pretend we are not I think.

I'm not trying to curry favour with newbies. If anything I'm trying to become a consultant for the DI to help them get their **** together. But, like the Dover defence, they are probably trying to keep it clean and I can't say I blame them what with me laughing at the idea that their lady wives are related to the apes and need a celibate male priesthood to keep them in some sort of order. How do you propose keeping a creature holding all the aces in order using the scientific method? Our being bigger and stronger has been neutralised. Is hypnotism any good? You don't seriously think the "credit crunch" was caused by bankers do you? That's like saying that pubs are caused by landlords rather than thirst and a desire to be intoxicated and out of it for a spell.

It isn't my fault if the materialists have forgotten La Mettrie and de Sade, who were martyrs who put materialism on the map, simply because they get the heebiegeebies following their logic to its inevitable conclusions. Those great men risked their lives in the cause of materialism. And one was poisoned at Frederick the Great's dinner table where he had sought refuge and the other spent most of his life locked up for fighting for republicanism.

@spendius,
well Le Mettrie was a geeky guy whose only joy in life was gluttony. He and you have that in common.

Im saddened that you havent given up your homoerotic dreams of me. As I told you, I dont swing that way spendi. (Not that theres anything wrong with that, of course).

@farmerman,
To what do we owe your suggestive remarks fm? What did I say to bring thoughts of that nature to such a prominent place in your mind?

And you ought to be ashamed of yourself casting aspersions of such a vulgar and ignorant sort upon M. La Mettrie who died in the service of your cause and risked being executed in the manner of the times for it. He was a military surgeon. What evidence do you have to support your assertions about him?

And I am 6 feet tall and weigh 11 stone 6 lbs. Which is a lot less than you looked in the photographs when you dined with ci and on which I was too polite to comment. And I don't talk about food anywhere near as much as you do. It is bad mannered to talk about food in the better circles in England on the grounds that it is inchoate **** and calls to mind the worm image with a hole at each end.

Thats why we kicked all you bastards out of our country, too many rules and not enough reasons.

Maybe your concern with body types is why you are so hot for me eh? Im an ectomorph with a soprano rising.
What brought on your sudden interest in T. Mac, have you been rereading Desmond and Moore again in your sober moments?

I dont care what it addresses, I want to know what it is....assuming you are still functioning enough to be logical.

Were you not paying attention to Wandels post or is this still some mystery that loses its point to non USers.?
I read them. Did you ? And it is a bit of a mystery to the rest of the world who largely doesnt have this problem. It seems to be a result of the distance between the Bible belt and civilisation.

Thank you for your opinion but I am on my side, not your's. I am an anti-IDer if IDer means the world was created 10,000 years ago and evolution did not happen.

To an independant observer Spendi flogs you in the debate.

Your problem is Gomer that you try to insult everyone who disagrees with you but like a child you start crying when you get some back.

Dont tell me you think you know science...all you have ever done was post verbose garbage with as many catchphrases and psuedo-scientific abbreviations as you can jam into a sentence. Not once have you bothered to explain to the observer, and it is obvious why...you are good at copying, not understanding....if you were good at science we would have heard about you....you are the degree equivalent of a old labourer.

You sound like the old Polack joke where theres a guy who wants to put a telephone pole into the ground. SO he asks his helper to find out how high it is and his helper measures it while it lay on the ground
"Its 35 ft long" His helper says

"Idont want to know how long it is, I want to know how high it is"

How would you know what is or is not "PSeudo scientific". Ive been able to smear you around the floor without any sweat.AS I told you, I only will come out of the woodwork to slam you (or spendi) around when you post ridiculous crap .

Spendi is merely a visitor to google and the "word of the day sites" Ive caught him on that several times over the last several years that hes been infesting this site with his self absorbancy > Hes a slack who has always taken the easy way out when he cant stay abreast. He changes the subject and insults people first.
Whenever he posts something relevant Ive been among the first to respond. When he posted that crap above about T Macaulay (That was for me) It was a little bit of "bass bait" from the life of one who'd given Darwin several fits of pique. I didnt rise to it then. Im only telling you this because you probably missed the entire event. (IT WENT OVER YOUR HEAD and ANUS, ANUS)

Now Ill go over and see what kind of schmutz youve posted on the art thread, Im tan, rested and ready, so if you still have trouble keeping up or holding a thought longer than a goldfish, Id be glad to hear about it.



AS FAR AS THE TOPIC. Im really glad that youve finally understood that the US is presently engaged in what have been called the "culture wars" in which a small but vocal group of Evangelical Christians have been seeking to impose their beliefs into the science curricula of several states. The laws and amendments of the Constitution have been reinterpreted since the 1960's in which the issue of "THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE" of the 1st AMENDMENT has been considerably redefined by the Fed Districts and the US SUPREME COURT.

In these decisions, a series of cases involving "Equal and balanced teaching of Creationism and Evolution" and "Creation SCIENCE" and "Intelligent DESIGN" have been adjudicated with gusto. The Evangelicals have been trying their best to fight against or retard these decisions and ( pompous assed folks like spendi) have thought they could bluff their way into the curricula of specific schools. (In the US, when a case is heard in the SUpreme court it is usually grown from a previous case involving a local (usually state) issue). When the US SUPREMES hear the case and render a decision, it becomes law for the US.

Now, in the case of DOVER PA and the INtelligent Design issue, The FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE rendered a decision based on the evidence and opinions provided him by both sides. HE took time in his decison to excoriate the defense (THE IDERS) about the fraudulent case they tried to make . The judge called their case "Breathtaking Inanity". Now that decision only effects the 3rd Fed District which includes several Mid Atlantic states and Puerto Rico.

The US has, and always will be a state with a separation of church and state, unless the SUpremes are stacked with Evangelical Christians since they are the only group vocal enough to want to actually inculcate the kids with their mytheopoiea. All other religions are pretty much in agreement with solid science teaching and evolution, they say, is based upon a "mountain of evidence" (the Roman Catholic Churches own statement). Even The Mormon University (Brigham Young) has a very competent biology and evolutionary biology department

Spendi has known all this but has tried to deny it, or else he just wants to change the subject to fit something that he feels more competent at discussing. I, of course dont let him and hes got a particular hard on for me (maybe though he too just doesnt understand it like youve anounced above). Well Anus , thats really what all these Evolution threads have been about Thats how the thread authors had seen them. They are not some sounding board for some drunken English fop whose got homoerotic thoughts over me, NOR is it some sounding board for some uneducated thrashing about like youve been doing. If you didnt get the purpose of Wandels title for this thread, ITS simply because you have no frame of reference
Im trying to be kind ANUS . Im saying basically that you dont understand what you dont experience daily. WE in the US live it and , Im a card carrying member of several technical organizations whove taken strong positions to save science education from the IDjits and Creationists..

Now thats the last tim Im gonna explain that to you. Spendi has been explained to several times by folks kinder than me. His inexhaustible supply of diversionary stunts are quite tiring when its gone on for several years. Hes been stalking me to the extent that some people have accused us of being two different E-IDs for the same person. GAAAAgh , Ive got a succesful career and an intersting life , I sure dont wanna continue that misconception. Thats sorta another reason why Ive limited my responses to him. (Besides the homoerotica ****)

Of course you cant. You could if you understood it.
Quote:

I assume you mean ineducable and not inducible. But I have an education, old boy...which is why I say you understand nothing of which you present. If you truly understand it you could explain it in layman's terms for others. Before you retired, what were you ? A surveyor's assistant who picked up some terms and relies on Google to bluff everyone with your delusions of being a Geologist ? Ever publish anything apart from vindictive tirades involving anal sex ?

You cant read. The suggestion is to you for the benefit of others. I understood perfectly. I was so embarrassed for you I didnt continue the argument. You are clearly a fraud.

I said that very early on, but given your inabilities I reminded you. Did you finally understand what I said ? Why did it work this time and not the other ? How are you going with me being a religious person and an IDer ? Still working on that one ? Thats ok. Take your time.

WOW ! You are a legend in your own mind, as small as that may be....
Do you have a weight problem Gomer ? That can play havoc with your sense of self esteem and involve many health issues, including sleep disorders that cause poor memory and comprehension.

My name is not Tim. Yes I read it the last time, Gomer. You may remember I replied by saying why isnt science a compulsory topic in all schools including home education ? Do you remember your answer ?

That doesnt work here ANUS, Im not into sharing anything like that with anyone on A2K, Ive been asked several times and Ive refused cause I dont trust anyone who Ive never met. Ats just the way it is. Several others in the same boat here will understand. You, because I dont think youre in the public eye much , would understand that at all.
You certainly have a twinge of jealousy in your voice ANUS. Since Ive turned spendi down in his homoerotic dreams, why dont you buy him an e- drink, he will like that.

Thjats enough for tonight for you. I have some work to finish.

Coming from you doesnt mean much.Ive slammed you about the floor with great ease and all you were able to do was go postal and make the charges that I didnt know what I was talking about. When I did send you a PM with the long version, you then sounded like a penitant whod been shown the light.

You lead like some asshole biker who only wants a fight, you dont give a **** about learning or knowledge. Even your art views sound like Frank Rizzo (nevermind just look up Frank Rizzo and modern art) . Get some help .

I try to maintain good relations with everyone whenever possible. Clearly that is not to be with you. I am neither repentant nor have been shown anything by you except a grumpy old fart who has an anal fixation whilst accusing others of his homo-erotic fantasies.

This is from someone who refuses to post in english because he is too clever and understands science too well. Admit to being a fraud who doesnt understand zip of geology or DNA and go to a website where you can claim to be a brain surgeon. You know you have been bullshitting, you old blowhard, now admit it .
