[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "Most people calling for school prayer are doing so from a Christian background, where prayers can be done silently and without any exterior signs. That can't be done in Islam, or many other religions." Do it between classes, then. After school, before school, whatever. Ask to be excused momentarily if timing is important. It can be done. "facts are neutral" True, but you can proove that the Holocaust occured and that Japanese-Americans were imprisoned during WWII. It's fact. As far as evolution is concerned, you have little evidence, and all of it can be explained in other ways. It's not prooven fact. Not by a long shot. I'm thinking about writing my own school textbooks for publication. My discussion on the origin of the universe will be about two sentances long. All it will do is explain that some believe that life originated by a series of effectively random events, and that others believe that a supernatural entity or entities created the universe. It will also point out good resources for both sides of the argument, if any readers are interested. And yes, I'll probably contact First o' Two and Sol to get the names of good evolutionary resources. DT: "The concept that all inmates eventually get out is a concept made by conservatives like yourself to scare people into murdering their fellow man. " Well, all inmates eventually DO get out, unless they're given life imprisonment, death, or die in prison by some other means. In many major cities, it is a fact that most inmates don't serve anywhere near their sentances. Check your stats. I think it's somewhere around 30% of sentence in in L.A. "But you have no idea who Che Guevera is, so I wouldn't expect you to know more than American History as taught in school." Considerably more, actually, but there's definitely some stuff I've missed. Care to point me to some good textbooks? I've looked up the name, actually, to see why I'd never heard of someone who you seem to think is so important. Ernesto "Che" Guevera. It's no wonder I've never heard of him. Doesn't seem to have done much of import. Wrote a few books on socialism. Protested against Pero�. Helped Castro run Cuba for a while. Seems like the most important thing he did was sever economic ties with the US, opting for Russia and the Socialist bloc instead. So if it weren't for him, Cuba'd probably be in far better econimic shape, and we might not have had the Cuban missile crisis. Over all, not a very important figure in the history of the west. Did I miss anything? [/QB][/QUOTE]
