Hot or Not - Sarah Palin

[Darth Vodka]

Do I think in a democracy that parents have a right to have their children taught what they believe?
Absolutely

at church yes, but not in the science class. science teaches science, not rival jackanory stuff

 

[Macky]

If McCain gets in and promptly keels over, I shudder to think of the damage this woman could do. It's been bad enough having that tit Bush in the hot seat - I think Palin is even more right wing and could be even worse.

A truly frightening prospect indeed.

If she thinks that a book of superstitions written by desert people in the bronze age is indisputable, literal scientific truth, then how in the name of **** is she expected to cope with presidential briefings on serious global issues from the 21st century?

Don't be nasty about Bronze age desert people.

This is all well and good, boys

But would you whoop one up her trumper or not

Not if I have to make any effort. :icon_conf

 

[highland fox]

I would do him anyday of the week...he's one hot dude:icon_razz

You disgust me...

I wasn't being nasty to them, it's perfectly understandable how they managed to create the Old Testament based on the myths they had to explain a world they hadn't the knowledge or technology to understand.

I'm being nasty to people in the 21st century that can't see the Old Testament for what it is, a curious collection of documents from a long gone era that has absolutely no place in the modern world.

God, a ****ing creationist, fundamentalist as the most powerful person in the world. Even Hitler never got that far...

I mean Bush is bad enough, but its actually scary what shit could go on if Palin gets in charge

 

[The Major]

<Exaggerated, paranoid rant>.

Do you read the Daily Mail?

 

[homer]

Fighting makes baby Jesus cry

 

[Macky]

Do you read the Daily Mail?

If you read my, possibly paranoid but not exaggerated at all, post it is patently obvious that I don't read the Daily Mail.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Do you read the Daily Mail?

wtf? It's the pro-Palin people who are liekly to read the Mail. And it's not paranoid at all, pretty much all the worst genocides in history have come from fundamentalist religious types, Hitler is the most obvious example. From the look of her policies so far, unless your a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, Christian American between the ages of 21-55 then you're sub-human scum who shall be converted to her way of thinking.

I'd already guessed that, I was just joshing you.

I could go on for ever but I think we're boring everybody else so I'll make this my last post on the subject.

a) Barak Obama is a regular church goer.
b) If he's elected some schools in America will still teach creationism.
c) The world will go on regardless.

Nothing personal, I've enjoyed our frank exchange of views and look forward to the next.

a) Being a church goer and beign a fundamentalist, creationmist are too different thigns entirely. I haev nothign against religious people, people can believe what they want, as long as they don't try and force their beliefs on others. Also, being a church goer just means you believe there's a God, not every single thign the bible says, right down to thinking the world is only a few hundred thousand years old, believing dinosaur fossils have been put there to test us, and that 900year old men, can collect 2 of every species of animal when new species are still being discovered daily.

b) Again, theres nothign wrgn with teaching creationism, whats wrong is teaching it as the primary or only theory of how the world started, when every single piece of Scientific evidence says otherwise

c) Yes, but it could end up being a much worse world where our belief systems are catapulted back about a thousand years to the medievil times. Plus, the 1000s of people who will no doubt die in pointless wars with such a trigger-happy person in charge. Plus, id hate to be a minority living in America if she gets in power, you're life would pretty much be hell

Same here

 

[Darth Vodka]

a) Barak Obama is a regular church goer.

he'd struggle to even get the democratic nomination without being one wouldn't he?
i wouldn't be surprised if he admitted to being an atheist when he's out the game, he seems intelligent enough

b) If he's elected some schools in America will still teach creationism.
c) The world will go on regardless.

less schools than under somebody who believes though...

specious logic i'm afraid, the world went on regardless when Hitler was stopped, by your logic, why bother removing Hitler

 

[Steven]

But that isn't the point. Creationist believe, and actively campaign for, all children, in all schools should be taught their dangerous dogma and that it should be funded by the state.

But, if I were to be pushed on your point, I believe that in a democracy religious views have absolutely no place in any school. Poisoning young minds with such views is a danger to the population as a whole.



No. I read numerous sources, the internet is awash with stories about her.

Hear, hear. Theocrats and theocracy in Iran or the US or anywhere else have no business in Government where they endanger the wider world. :icon_wink

 

[spionfox]

FFS folks, I only posed the question because I wanted to know if you would pork her or not.

If I wanted to read political comment I would have gone to the Guardian website!

 

[Cate Fox]

I dont suppose I'm supposed to be on this thread (and no, I wouldnt do her before you ask) but I am glad I read all of this as I didnt really have a clue what the woman was like at all... .she is one scary mutha

 

[Dour]

Only if it's the photoshopped one.
