Crewdroog: valid research that it's a psuedoscience or it's not true! :)

Now if your faith leads to you believe that evolution isn't true and the earth was created how your belief system specified, then I can't touch you, no one can disprove faith. However, when you start making your belief sound like science to further your religion's agendas (teaching christian religion in schools), then you have entered my world of Science, where claims need to be supported with educated hypothesises, years of studies, analysis and peer reviews.

So if you want to say, "my faith system doesn't work with evolution", fine. But when you start throwing words around like "psuedoscience", I'd appreciate some form of research to back up your claims.

Edit: and yes, I am assuming your problem with evolution is a faith-based one, and that was wrong of me. It could be epigenetics for all i know.

Crosmando: The right-wing in the US is completely despicable. In other countries the right will make appeals to nationalism and patriotism, ie the "common good". In the US the right just no longer even care about disguising it, it's just "I'm rich and I don't want to share!" and "fuck the poor!" without any shame or humility. Just selfishness and greed.

I mean how can you even claim to be patriotic/nationalistic if you don't give a flying fuck about the conditions of your fellow countrymen? What is a nation but the people who inhabit it?

Crosmando: As I said, I wouldn't have a problem if the US right-wing actually started calling themselves what they really are: capitalist individualists, instead of wrapping themselves in the flag. Because in order to be a patriot you need to actually care about your fellow countrymen, even the most poor ones.

If you have such a huge problem with paying taxes to help your less well-off fellow citizens then you probably only care about yourself and your immediate friends and family, you don't care about your country as a whole. That's what being part of a society is all about.

Last I heard about America, some of it's major cities had some of the largest homeless populations around. And you guys don't even have a proper/permanent unemployment benefit. But whenever someone suggests that taxes be increased on the rich to help alleviate some suffering and help the poor, people go crazy about the "government stealing their money". I mean you guys obviously seem to hate each other intensely because you don't want to help each other, why are you even a country?

MarioFanaticXV: My main problem with evolution is that it requires us to pretty much ignore everything about heredity and genetics. That being said, generally burden of proof is on the one claiming something is science, not the other way around. People have been looking for evidence of evolution for well over a century now, but the more we learn about genetics, the less likely it seems. When a system is backed up only on hearsay and endorsements and not on data and evidence, it is not science- evolution needs to go the way of geocentricity and make way for modern research.

yogsloth: Well, one thing is for certain.

If we want to prevent a similar catastrophe from happening here on earth, we'd better raise taxes.

Potzato: The U.S. : land of contrasts. How can you have so much great minds, right next to 'those guys' ?

MarioFanaticXV: Rush Limbaugh is essentially conservative that argues like a liberal. I cant stand him; he should leave angry emotion-driven rants to the left-wing, those of use who are on the right-wing don't enjoy such tirades.
MarioFanaticXV: Did you really just compare gravity to outdated pseudoscience?

itchy01ca01: And here come the rich to tell us to be "richer and smarter or you're dumb".

And ignore the fact that most people get rich off of OTHER peoples work.

"Work hard, and you'll get rich".

No, work hard and you'll stay middle class and the rich will take from you.
