Good lord, this thread is old...
my wrong or his wrong? :)
You mistake your own morality for morality in general. And in that sense, you're no better than the theists you condemn so badly.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, what does the Marx quote have to do with morality? evil (adj) 1. Morally bad or wrong;...
Chances are, most theists don't have the level of education that most atheists do (with very narrow deffinitions of '(a)theism'). Religion offers a...
Your pseudo-intellectual elitism sickens me.
Stole the words off my tounge. I'd stop there, the rest is self-evident (or not worth my time).
I can agree with the latter part, not the former. When supply and demand hit (as they are doing to the tech jobs now), only the best stay. It's not...
Oh, OK. So because their ancestors migrated from somewhere else 12,000 years ago (that's twelve thousand), killing some estimated 10 million people,...
the quote by Howard Zinn, by the way, was: "If young people going to school knew the history of American expansion-- first on the continent, and...
Undecided-- I'm so glad you mentioned him. I love Stewart for having him on. He is famous in certain circles. I just got his best known book...

Here's some good links I can def. use: http://edition.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/11/19/study.abroad.ap/ which talks about this:...
Clockwood: maybe you are right, but there are a lot of colleges here (I currently reside in the US) that aren't very... 'serious', it's almost like...
How many people in the US knew who Bin Laden was or what al Qaeda was before 9/11? Funny you mention it, I asked exactly the same question at that...
Here's something on a similar topic-- http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Pres_Election_04/Report10_21_04.pdf This compares the awareness of...
I wouldn't give much credit to this... a lot of people don't attend college (and a lot of times, it's not really college), and highschool history...
marv: Thanks for the story, but I'm looking for more than one-case examples. I actually went to school in Germany (and Russia, but I mostly have...
Having dinner at my girlfriend's house last night, politics came up and I mentioned the idea of "the ignorant American"-- that Americans are less...
