Than the mind of a Southerner? Hmmm . . . . . quite possibly, but I imagine there are the exceptions.I would disagree with this. Garden tools are of far more practical use for real things.

If we get all nuanced about it, then the joke sort of deflates. But I do love the phrase, "dumber than a bag of hammers". That works too. But the reality is, it's not stupidity. It's arrogance and disregard for others.Than the mind of a Southerner? Hmmm . . . . . quite possibly, but I imagine there are the exceptions.

That one did cross my mind, but then I thought it was a bit overused.[/QUOTE]If we get all nuanced about it, then the joke sort of deflates. But I do love the phrase, "dumber than a bag of hammers". That works too.
Then again, if they're stupid enough to promote it why would they be bright enough to hide it..
Considering how often this violation is committed down in Dixieland one is encouraged to wonder if the intellect of Southern Christians is rivaled only by garden tools.". . . this is the locker room at Letcher County Central High School in Whitesburg, Kentucky:
The sign says “But the Lord is with me like a Mighty Warrior. Jeremiah 20:11.”
[The] Kentucky high school [was] called out for promoting Bible verse in locker room. So far, the district hasn’t responded to any of the concerns."

Why don´t you sue them ? You think they are stupid. I think they are very intelligent, they have gotten away with it so far, and pissed off folk like you.Then again, if they're stupid enough to promote it why would they be bright enough to hide it..

Thanks to Trump and the republican party, and their determined efforts to increase greed, selfishness, and general stupidity in America, this sort of ignorance regarding the rights, freedoms, and well-being of fellow citizens has become greatly emboldened. All we can do now is hope that our better angels will soon awaken within us, and we'll stop voting in fear and selfishness, and start voting for the well-being of our nation as a whole, and for the principals that it was founded on: equal freedom, justice, and opportunity for all citizens. And for a government free from the influence of religion, money, and social bigotry.
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: 2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. 6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ. 11The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
If you followed the link in the original story you'd see that FIRST STEPS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKENWhy don´t you sue them ?
That, and that they don't give a **** about our Constitution, which pretty much go hand in hand.You think they are stupid.
Of course you would. That's expected.I think they are very intelligent

True, but the republican party knowingly and deliberately chose to stir up and exploit people's ignorance, greed, bigotry, and fear to gain political support for themselves while aiming all that subsequent sick and misguided animosity at their opponents.
Post #2 is more interesting...or rather, the leftish response to it (tacit approval) is.Everyone's jumping on post #2 - but how about focusing on the OP please?
Sure, as they control the behavior of both parties. But when they really want to do something ugly, like start a war to increase their profit margins, it'll be the republicans they turn to, to do the heavy lying. Then they'll just bribe the democrats to vote in favor of it while no one's looking; then blame it all on the republicans later on.Ab observation directed at most everyone who's posted on this thread:
The oligarchs are thrilled that you're all arguing about Dems vs. GOP.
So? What the school did, it's against the law!!!!!We have Bible motif's in the building for the Supreme Court. Even verses etc in various parts of the legislature, even Obama and Carter read the Bible as part of his role communicating with the public. So?
It doesn't promote a 'national religion'

The Bible's myths are not the only mythical figures on that building.We have Bible motif's in the building for the Supreme Court. Even verses etc in various parts of the legislature, even Obama and Carter read the Bible as part of his role communicating with the public. So?

It is in the First Amendment.What law might that be?
After the ratification of the constitution individual states had their own state tax funded denominations, with the last hanging on for about 80 years with Massachusets. The letter of the law forbids a national denomination.
Roger Willians iis credited for inspiring the views of the day for his seminal statement that 'The garden of the church should be protected by a high wall of separation from the howling wilderness of the world'
It is in the First Amendment.
I see that you do not understand the Establishment Clause. Here is some remedial reading for you:The first amendment says the federal 'congress shall make no law' regarding promoting or hindering the free exercise of religion and in particular establishing a national denomination such as the church of England
A local organization, a city council, city mayor, governor, state congress or even school board or even the President are not federal congress
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
