Do you believe the Earth is flat?

Yes, Indiana clearly is a place where the earth is flat.

Indiana creationist bill passes committee | NCSE

January 26th, 2012

Indiana's Senate Bill 89, which if enacted would allow local school districts to "require the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life, including creation science," was passed by the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development on January 25, 2012.

Guess only your opinion counts.

I'm not sure whether the legislatures of states such as Indiana are dumber because they believe in Creationism or because they think these ridiculous bills will pass Constitutional muster. It is truly an embarrassment on the US that greater than 50% of the population believes in creationism over evolution.

Constitutionally you can't back either view point with regards to public school.

It's really frustrating having so many of these folks around - I sometimes get myself in trouble by speaking up. I'm afraid I've lost some work by offering up what I thought was a reasonable retort to some of the crap I've heard. My elderly neighbor thinks only male landowners should be allowed to vote and you should go to debtors prison if you can't pay your bills. How's that for old school?

Sometimes old school is a benefit so take the good with the bad.

Only culturally.

Culturally? Have you ever been to Indiana? I grew up in a small town in Indiana and I wouldn't give it up for anything. Your almighty attitude is really disgusting and condesending. Every region of this country has it's own culture and what makes this country what it is.

Some people still actually think the Earth is flat?

Oh dear.

What foolishness is this?

I shall forever hold this advice dear to me.

What foolishness is this?

Something about pubic schools.

It's In-dee-fuckin-ANA, man!

It's not that flat, what with the dunes, and all. I think south of Lafayette, it's uber flat and boring. But....that's just me.

It may be just you but read the attached and it may help you with the state. The southern third, south of Indy, is not flat. Actually if you have a chance visit the Shades State Park really a wonderful place.

Geez. Overreact much?

Nope just clarifying and stating my views. Problem?

 

[OhWiseOne]

What foolishness is this?

I didn't know it was.

 

[D_Blue_Barry_Eel]

I didn't know it was.

He may have been commenting on that you said 'pubic schools'.

 

[monel]

I didn't know it was.

Well now you do.

 

[OhWiseOne]

Well now you do.

Sorry no I don't.

 

[OhWiseOne]

I really am tired of hearing how backward the south is.

I have lived in the south for 20 years now and people aren't backwards it's just a different culture.

 

[monel]

Sorry no I don't.

Well you can take my word for it or go study up on your Constitutional Law. Either way you'll be at least a little better informed.

 

[OhWiseOne]

Not sure about that. Both Indiana (1816) and Illinois (1818) abolished slavery by their constitutions. There may have been some slaves before Indiana became a state. And racism, while slowly dying, persists to this day.
Some individual southern sympathizers went to Kentucky to join up with the Confederates.

from Wikipedia:

Despite significant anti-war activity in the state and southern Indiana's ancestral ties to the Southern United States, it did not secede from the Union. During the course of the war, Indiana contributed approximately 210,000 soldiers and millions of dollars of equipment and supplies to the Union. Residents of Indiana, also known as Hoosiers, served in every major engagement of the war and almost every engagement—minor or otherwise—in the western theater of the war. Indiana, an agriculturally rich state containing the fifth-highest population in the Union and sixth-highest of all states, was critical to Northern success.

So if science backs it you can teach evolution in public schools? That's my point.
