  1. Haha funny.
  2. Photos of the PM and the FN chiefs during the meeting. http://www.pm.gc.ca/grfx/media/20130111_MDP_02.jpg http://www.pm.gc.ca/grfx/media/20130111_MDP_01.jpg Too big to paste it here.
  3. If that is the case, why is the termed 'designer' used? There are no other reason than implying there is a God. Nonsensical.
  4. So much for FN attempting to fix their stereotypical images.
  5. First she demands a meeting, then she's got 72 hours to live, the PM agrees to meet FN members, then she's going to live a little longer, a scathing audit comes out showing there is a council issue on the reserve, then they ban media, now she's not going becasue the GG isn't going to be there. What next, she won't meet unless there are unicorns?
  6. How many of those treaties were pre-1867?
  7. Plus Darwin lambasted the principles of eugenic (though the concept eugenic came long after his death).
  8. Agree, one doesn't need religion to gain a sense of morality.
  9. You raised a really good point, how do we know that Spence is still mentally competence? For all we know, she might have lost it after the 10th day of fasting.
  10. Yeah serious flaws in the contents of the movie. If every crackpots who claimed to be an expert but not, were to be heard and addressed, scientific progress would be reduced to a trinkle in various fields of science.
  11. Didn't you watch the movie yourself?
  12. His insanity reaches newer heights. Post Piers Morgan Debate.
  13. Those defense lawyers should just say 'All the blame rest on my clients' instead of saying 'well it not his fault for raping the woman, he's a guy.'
  14. Well deniers have been making conspiracy theories and still are
  15. Stein quotes from a passage in Darwin's writing that appears to endorse the notion that for a species to thrive the infirm must be culled. He omits the part where Darwin insists this would be "evil" and that man's care for the weak is "the noblest part of our nature." When I asked Stein about this on my radio show he deadpanned, "If any Darwin fans are listening and we have misquoted him, we are sorry; we don't mean to diss Darwin. -John Moore from National Post The film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed misappropriates the Holocaust and its imagery as a part of its political effort to discredit the scientific community which rejects so-called intelligent design theory. Hitler did not need Darwin to devise his heinous plan to exterminate the Jewish people and Darwin and evolutionary theory cannot explain Hitler's genocidal madness. Using the Holocaust in order to tarnish those who promote the theory of evolution is outrageous and trivializes the complex factors that led to the mass extermination of European Jewry. -Anti-Defamation League issued the above statement condemning the film's use of the holocaust. It has been the central question of humanity through the ages: How in the world did we get here? In 1859 Charles Darwin provided the answer in his landmark book, The Origin of Species. In the century and a half since, geologists, biologists, physicists, astronomers, and philosophers have contributed a vast amount of research and data in support of Darwin's idea. And yet, millions of Christians, Muslims, Jews, and other people of faith believe in a literal interpretation that humans were crafted by the hand of God. The conflict between science and religion has unleashed passions in school board meetings, courtrooms, and town halls across America and beyond. -Crossroads I was never a big fan of Darwinism because it played such a large part in the Nazis' Final Solution to their so-called "Jewish problem" and was so clearly instrumental in their rationalizing of the Holocaust. So I was primed to want to do a project on how Darwinism relates to fascism and to outline the flaws in Darwinism generally. -Ben Stein was a staunch anti-Darwinist prior to making the film with no basic knowledge in biology. "With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination. We build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. Hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed. -What ben said above is grossly taken out of context from the Origin of Species below. The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could we check our sympathy, even at the urging of hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature. The surgeon may harden himself whilst performing an operation, for he knows that he is acting for the good of his patient; but if we were intentionally to neglect the weak and helpless, it could only be for a contingent benefit, with an overwhelming present evil."
  16. Logically yes, realistically not sure.
