Any half-decent mod would've cleaned this thread up by now and put a great part on the food & drink thread

And any half decent poster would have know to post on the Food and Drink thread in the first place...

But sadly, as we know from the other thread, the only mods we have are all devil-worshipping sinners, condemned to the eternal flames of hell. With this in mind, they spit on your thread cleaning

Back on topic and the batshit loons are out in force again.

I thought you were having a laugh until I googled it.
My jaw hit the desk.

I want to know how these people manage to switch off their logic circuits when they "think".
a) They say that the Loch Ness monster is a plesiosaur despite there being no proof that any monster exists at all, never mind a plesiosaur.
b) They say that the existence of such a plesiosaur disproves evolution theory ... quite how they conclude that an animal having not evolved disproves evolution is beyond me ... their assertion merely leads one to suspect that they either can't (or won't) reason logically or that they haven't actually understood what is meant by the term "evolution".

It's not 'brainwashing' small children. It's essentially an A level in Christian theology. You might disagree with some other things the administrators think, but that's not really relevant, is it?

Its been spotted on sonar and its been followed by a small submarine.

Apparently, according to that previous link.

Its also true that far too many Americans learn their history through watching Hollywood films without the important question "Is this fiction or not" being asked.

What do you mean "It's not 'brainwashing' small children"?

To have got that far, they must have started by brainwashing small children. There isn't a rational human being on earth that could seriously consider those questions to be bona fide unless they had been previously brainwashed.

So, if I advocated that all black or gay people were evil, would you be happy with me receiving tacit approval for an examination, aimed at furthering my prejudices, simply because I made the course suitably rigorous, that the opnly conclusions to be drawn was that I was correct?

And if you consider the questions posed, to be an indication of a "suitably rigorous course", then you really are away with the fairies.

That possibly accounts for many of them being disappointed when they discovered there would be no "Titanic II"
