  1. Quoth The Raven

    This is well beyond general school stupidity. This is downright callous.

    While I don't imagine the intent of the policy was to punish children with otherwise perfect attendance for being hospitalized, this is effectively the end result. If the policy allows for a distinction between 'authorised' and 'unauthorised' absence, then it's likely that the intent is - as...

    Banning Cell Phone Use while Driving

    I don't understand riders who don't wear helmets regardless.

    Banning Cell Phone Use while Driving

    The new laws here make it illegal for you to touch the phone (or your GPS, or anything else in that vein) so you actually have to have a hands free that's capable of being answered without you touching the phone now. I'm fast becoming of the opinion that 90% of the people on the road can't...

    Why is it Only those who "Walk with God" have Encountered Satan?

    It's The Reds that are under the bed, Phil. Satan tends to hang around the seedy bars and the occasional brothel.:yes:

    The unjust laws of the west in general

    Perhaps it's a case not of 'loving the money more than the child', but more to do with the fact that it was not financially viable for the parents for the child to remain at home and not contribute.Maybe they just didn't have enough money to actually put food on the table for the number of...

    Gay adoption is good for children

    Because while the majority of people have a tendency to anthropomorphise, some of them aren't bright enough to realise that's what they're doing. However, in some cases I believe it's just a dishonest substitution of 'nature' for 'my version of God', because they've already tried to sell the...

    "My Son is Gay"

    Funny you should say that. I used to work with a guy who's boyfriend loathed seafood. His stance was that if God had meant him to eat fish, he'd have been born straight. His is funnier than yours, cos he didn't treat it as a valid argument.

    "My Son is Gay"

    No, absolutely correct. He also didn't create the Chinese,Africans and Europeans together either. If that's your argument, then apparently god also loathes a multi-cultural society and segregation was his preference. Ooh, am I going to hell because I live next door to a Maori?! :eek: Let's...

    The timing of Easter, each year

    'Christian' Easter is based on Passover...conveniently it's based on Passover in such as way as it co-incides with the festival of the pagan goddess that it's named for. It's also handy that according to Michel's source the way of determining the date wasn't really set until about 600 years...

    Referee benched for being a woman.

    To be fair to Catholics, these people are fundies.

    Children

    :biglaugh:Oh, the humanity! Actually, Nutshell is correct, but he didn't go far enough. No-one should be destroying anyone elses property, regardless of their age. If you'd like to interpret that as a call to kill or banish all the kiddies and replace them with robots, then you go right ahead...

    Intelligent Design and People

    Well, after I finish my peas, I'll just nip down the oesophagus shop and buy me another one! Do they have somewhere there that can fit it for me, or shall I attempt the DIY route? :rolleyes:

    Intelligent Design and People

    Nope, you can blame your ancestors and their bad genetics for that. Damn inconsiderate people with their apendixes, breeding indiscriminately and passing on those bad genes. :slap:

    Is Marriage a Necessity?

    My husband and I have lived together for 15 years and just got married this last Halloween. It hasn't made the slightest difference. In fact, it occasionally comes as a surprise to me when for some reason I remember that the whole thing is 'legal' now. If your relationship requires pulped wood...

    What's The Best Way To Deal With Sexual Desire?

    Actually, there seem to be a lot of men out there that would agree that marriage certainly does the trick for unwanted sexual desire...at least on the part of their wives.:p

    What is a "Kind"?

    Perhaps he was drunk, and they all looked like pink elephants. Can only have two pink elephants on the ark, you know.

    What is a "Kind"?

    Ok, so you're asking why there aren't any transitory fossils, when you get given transitory fossils you say,'Oh, but they're not transitory fossils, they're a result of Noah's flood.' So in essence you're asking for the provision of something you don't believe in, and will steadfastly refuse to...
