@izzythepush,
I'm just wondering how spendi compares pushing creationism up their asses?

@cicerone imposter,
After reading the **** that comes outa spendies mouth, I think he's extremely confused with the orifices of his own body, without working out about pushing things up others.

I am sorry that I never give you a straight answer, spendi, but you are unintentionally hilarious.


You'll have to explain that wande. It's just a neurotic's method of claiming I'm talking out of my arse. It certainly means the same which is to say nothing.

It's actually a lie because you're not sorry at all. And you have avoided answering any of the points I raised which is devious.

You can't find any post of mine promoting the teaching of what you think of as Creationism.

@raprap,
I know what you are doin young man. You are exposing us tto the evils of MATHS!!!
Ill bet that there are several "beautiful minds" who debate a requirement to offer maths as a subject in public school.

@spendius,
Hey lads and lassies--why don't you all enter rjb's football Pick-Um competition this year to see if any of you can take my back-to-back titles away from me. It's not fair leaving it to wande to fly the scientific flag because he's absolutely ******* hopeless.

Let's see what the rest of you brainboxes can do when assertions are inoperative.

@farmerman,
You don't mean "maths" actually fm. "Sums" is the word you want. You only call it maths to flatter your silly self. Modern maths is way over your head.

Nobody knows, it's one of life's great mysteries, like where do all those left socks go.

In the famous collection of letters written by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, to the illegitimate son got out of his favourite wench there is this advice--

Quote:
I have seldom or never written to you on the subject of Religion and Morality: your own reason, I am persuaded, has given you true notions of both......


He confined himself to the "decencies, the utility, and the necessity of preserving the appearances" whilst assuring the lad--

Quote:
I do not mean that you should talk and act like a missionary, or an enthusiast, nor that you should take up a controversial cudgel against whoever attack the sect you are of......you should by no means seem to approve, encourage or applaud, those libertine notions which strike at religions equally, and which are the poor threadbare topics of half wits or minute philosophers. Depend on this truth, that every man is the worse looked upon, and the less trusted, for being thought to have no religion.....and a wise atheist (if such a thing there is) would, for his own interest, and character in this world, pretend to some religion.


But what is really a signifier of the absence of good breeding is to insult one's audience by pretending that attacks on religion do not carry with them by logical necessity the promotion of libertine notions and that such a pretence is not only witless but spineless and obviously neurotic.

The comparison between evolution teaching and that of gravity, if gravity can be taught at all, is as ridiculous as comparing abortion to a tooth extraction on the grounds that both are surgical procedures and are thus of equal validity. Which is fair enough if you are prepared to state the case publicly.

I don't know about the rest of us rap but you have certainly left me behind with that post. And I can't say I am particularly concerned about you having done so.

@spendius,
Easy Spendi different bases
16s10=+/-4 base 10 16=10+6
16s19=+/-5 base 19 25=19+6
16s30=+/-6 base 30 36=30+6
16s43=+/-7 base 43 49=43+6
16s58=+/-8 base 58 64=58+6
16s75=+/-9 base 75 81=75+6
16s94=+/-10 base 94100=94+6

Using different bases you can create any integral square greater than 4----

But then most 19th and 20th century mathematicians are and were amenable to the out of box systemic analysis required for the establishment of stable systems. In that, they were akin to the analytical, open minds of men like Darwin and Wallace.

@raprap,
That's bugger all rap rap. I can run a book for a bookie in the last two minutes of a rush when the dogs are being put into the traps. Try that sometime with real money. 8 races a night and 3 or 4 nights a week.

That stuff is simple and relies upon being able to read a language not many others have had the time nor the inclination to familiarise themselves with. It doesn't sing like Latin though. You need rap music to do it and being the romantic that I am I find that intolerable on the ear. On the few occasions I have steeled my nerves to try it I could only decipher a few words and if the rest as as stupid as those were gawd help rap fans.

We needn't know that this internet uses the binomial. We have technicians behind the scene who translate what we write into that system for efficient transmission and then translate it back so that we all understand what each of us has said. If we bothered about that stuff we would be thinking about how a brainwave caused a movement in the larynx which set up some frequencies in the air which when entering a listener's ear caused the eardrum to vibrate and send the thought up to the receptor.

For an explanation of what caused the brainwave one might say that the brainwave was "I wouldn't mind giving this one one" causing the larynx to say "Do you come here often my dear? which the receptor translates it into "This bozo wants to shag me."

Now, as you know, the criteria for such a brainwave varies from culture to culture. A flat nose. An enormous bottom. Unseen promise. Cushions strapped to the back. Fantastic finger tip control. So what makes us have that brainwave for the unknown Christian bimbo sat on the barstool as a confection of fragrant powders, frilly lace and flesh discreetly paraded. Science couldn't do that because it's the same for all cultures.

There was a tribe down, or up, the Amazon which used base 20 because they didn't wear shoes.

I don't consider Darwin to have had an open mind. Not by a long shot. I don't know much about Wallace. It seems that there were a large number of occasions when Darwin was so single-minded that he couldn't take the welfare of his dearest Emma into account. So you can understand that his single-minded research, simple by today's standards, wasn't about to bother about the effects of it on society.
