A Misconception that should be rooted out

That Guy · 06-12-2007, 09:00 PM

been thinking about it for a bit. I'm be fixing/maintaining computer and electrical systems on planes in the near term, then we'll see what's next.

I did get a slingbox setup though, so i shouldn't miss any games.

Crazyhorse:

1. Would you like me to retitle this thread "Let's Impeach God"?

2. Will your next thread be obstensibly about the season finale of LOST, but in actuality you'll talk about how Jack's fragile relationship with his father is/was an allegory to the war in Iraq

3. Do you ever plan on actually discussing the Redskins here on this site?

With this whole subject between religion and science, I agree with Mr. Albert Einstein on the whole subject. He said, "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." I agree I think that both kinda go hand in hand...

crazyhorse, why i share the same dislike for this administration( and bush in particular) this is a football site, first and foremost. its a turnoff to alot of us to high jack every thread and turn it into a bush should be in jail thread. if you are not interested in the football side of things, stick to the parking lot, and stay on topic

Well said D. I would go one step further and say that I personally see no place here on this site for anyone who doesn't want to talk Redskins at all. I don't go to a Simpsons message board and start a bunch of "Should We Trade Betts?" threads. It makes no sense. I understand it's the off-season, and we do have the Parking Lot to expand our discussions beyond the Redskins. But, as dmek pointed out, this is a "Redskins Fan Forum." That is why we joined this site, that is why this site exists.

To act or think otherwise is, well...a misconception that should be rooted out.

I didn't high jack this thread. I started it. Also, check it out. This is the parking lot.

Well, first of all I blame myself as a mod for not locking this thread down right away. You had already started an anti-Bush thread with "Let's Impeach the President" then you started this one under the guise of it being about creationism vs. evolution (though I think that thread has been done before) yet really all you meant it to be was another Bush bashing/anti War in Iraq thread. And for the record, this has nothing to do with the fact that you started two separate threads about Bush, it has to do with the fact that you started two separate threads with the same theme.

Furthermore, on behalf or all the mods I'd like to make it clear to everyone that "This is the Parking Lot" "It's off topic" are increasingly tired excuses. The rules of this site apply to every forum, not just the locker room.

Would any mod care to expand?

steveo395 · 06-13-2007, 11:03 PM

And there has already been a thread about creationism vs. evolution and I really don't feel like going through the same thing over again. I'm going to bed.

dmek25 · 06-13-2007, 09:00 PM

have you ever joined a thread about the redskins? i hate bush also. everyone around here knows it. i just don't have to preach it every chance i get

Evolution is a simple and elegant. It's that simple. There are no holes in it and the reason it can't be proven without a doubt is because of the time scale it operates on. It most certainly makes more sense than, say, being created from mud.

If you take a bunch of mice into a lab for 25 years and intrude mutations to successive generation's gene pool you would almost certainly have a different breed of mice. And while these mutation might not drastically alter the mice to the extent that they become a different species they would most certainly be different from the mice that were not in the control group. Now if you do this over 1000 years they would most certainly be classified as different species. This is evolution, this is real and can not be dismissed so easily.
