@Ionus,
Quote: To an independant observer Spendi flogs you in the debate
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 ****)
