GA HB 179?

That’s: Georgia House Bill # 179
GA HB 179

Evolution makes statistical sense that the most probable individuals to survive and reproduce would be expected to create a larger proportion of the population, and nobody can argue with that

The bible has had many oppertunities to have been mistranslated and misinterpreted, and there is no guarantee of the wisdom of the writers at the time; they didn’t have so much in the way of astronomy and hadn’t circumnavigated the world by that point in time, and even if they had communicated with ‘god’ there was potential for misinterpretations. Also I think the xians are misdirecting their efforts - I doubt a god really cares about technicalities that don’t affect us, I would hope he would just want people to live good lives

I read this page a few days ago- someone who I didn’t recognise posted the link here on SEB.

It’s a spoof isn’t it. It must be, designed to discredit the ID movement.  The site owner has gone for linking an extremist minority view to ID to show the whole thing up.  Please tell me that is true, please, beacause the alternative is
too
too
horrible.

Curse that secular, scientific Jewish sect that includes Einstein and others! Always trying to confuse people with ‘facts’ and ‘data’. Oh, right Kabbala (the original, not Hollywood McJudaism)… Best break out the copies of the Protocols and make sure our children are properly educated.

Is there any country out there without crazy politicians?

Sadly I think it isn’t a hoax.  But I could try to email the guy and post back any reply.

I’m starting a new religion that declares me...YES ME!! as the center of the universe.  I am of course infallible.  I will require regular donations of beer, cheese, pepperoni, and anti cholesterol medicine.

Anybody want to join?

Sshhh, LH, you’ll wake ‘em up and they’ll realise it’s a world plot against them.
It’s not a spoof. Our cunning plan is working.
Woops. Gulp. 

Look. I can’t keep a secret.
Because you’re just so fucking good at everything, so powerful and clever, and because you have all the money as well as the technology, the rest of the world has conspired against you to dumb y’all down.
We’ve infiltrated and assmebled [sic] school boards to push the ID concept.
We’ve realised that American are predisposed to religion, especially Christianity, because most are ego-tripping delusionalists who believe the best is yet to come.

We have and do fully support those wonderful Christian (yes, I know I always say ‘xian’ – it was part of my cunning plan [sounded like Baldric again there for a moment]) churches you have more than generously scattered round EVERY FUCKING town and village of your wonderful country.
We give money to the Bennys, Pats, Jerrys and Creflos, et al, so’s they can, unknowingly (cos they’ve already been sucked in by their own egos), continue to suck y’all into the Vortex of Stupid (a particularly vicious but effective vortex which works well on people suffering from the ‘we are the champions [syndrome]’ at everything - it was tried out on the Australians as a test but it was found to be ineffective cos Ozzies are just too fucking casual and apathetic to take themselves too seriously) ... where was I?

I was sent along as a spy - I thought the most effective way of sucking y’all in was to act stupid. I think I managed that.

We’ve also put something in the water at The Whitehouse because as everyone knows ‘Fish Rots from the Head Down’ (this makes more sense when you realise Shrub is the ‘head fish’ [xian] ... aahhh forget it.)

If I didn’t have a degree of and in apathy I could continue this for another coupla pages, but ... nudge, nudge; wink, wink. 

I saw this on the Fixed Earth front page:

and their many ramifications going all the way to Kabbala-based Big Bangism!

All I can say is I think I have found a religion I can get behind.  Big Bangism sounds like fun.

I started reading about the Geosynchronous satellite conspiracy, but got a horrible sense that my undying belief in TIME CUBE was being threatened, so I had to stop. 

I’d really like to say this is a joke, but the Time cube site does not appear to be a joke, and I would swear that there are at least a few serious people who regularly post on the Flat Earth Society Forums, though most people on there are posting in jest.

The fact that an elected official actually quotes the fixedearth site (if he indeed send out he memo) is what really worries me.

Hey LuckyJohn, how easy is it for a US citizen to emigrate to Australia?

That site hurts my head. Too much ranting.  His only proof seems to be that the bible says Geocentric.  Did he actually say ANYTHING SCIENTIFIC that we could disprove.  His only attempts seem to be pictures of stars at the North Pole (HA HOW DO YOU KNOW THE APPARENT MOVEMENT IS THE EARTH MOVING), and a rant against geostationary satellites.

PLEASE DC- WE DON’T NEED A LONG EXPLANATION WHY THIS GUY IS WRONG. WE KNOW HE IS.

Actually all he has to do is talk to an artillery officer.  I read somewhere the effect of the earth’s rotation was known about 200 years ago (wish I could find the book- I think it was “Bad Science") Modern guns with 20-30 mile ranges, and missiles firing even further, are even more affected.  Although the projectile is moving at the same speed as the earth as it leaves the barrel, it slows so the earth is moving under it.  Another problem is firing North South (or the reverse) as the shell has a different eastward velocity (imparted by the gun) than the target- the nearer the equator, the faster the Earth.

I’m just surprised he didn’t say ‘Flat Earth’

Hey LuckyJohn, how easy is it for a US citizen to emigrate to Australia?

We Australians would suggest it’d be easier to emigrate to NZ as you’d have to have the operation to remove only 50% of your brain.
Of course LH and the rest of The Pommie bastards would suggest to enter Oz you need remove 90%.

It’s pretty tough to live here though.
You’d be the butt of a few jokes - remember we do understatement a bit.
We don’t really respect anyone and if we do we still want to be able to call him (oh yes - there’s a bitta misogyny happening in Oz even though we love and respect our ladies) by his first name.
We don’t do titles - I never heard of a bloke being called Coach, even if he was a coach.

I recently heard a story about sledging in cricket.
This story took place during the Body-line series and one of our blokes called their captain, Douglas Jardine, the Pommie bastard, a bastard.
After the game he went to the Oz dressing room, knocked on the door, the Oz captain opened it, listened to Dougie’s gripe and turned and shouted: Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?
I thought it was quite good and captures the Oz spirit neatly ... Fuck you, and if you can’t take that, Fuck you, you fucking cunt.
One of few things an Australian respects is when he insults the insultee, the insultee needs to come back to the insulter with something equally if not equaller funny.

Like, I wasn’t born here, but even I picked up the kultcha pretty easily.
There’s a lot of the KISS principle used cos ... well we’re a simple people. 
As for Edna Everidge - she might be a silly old tart but she’s our silly old tart.
And as for Foster’s beer - no one in Oz drinks it; in all my time on this planet I’ve seen one bloke in Oz drink it and he was a Pommie bloke from Yorkshire and therefoore didn’t consider himself a Pom, the stupid Pommie bastard.

Seriously, I have no idea. 

Lucky—I heard today that Australians are only afraid of one thing, and that is that somebody will give a war and they won’t be invited.

IDM: I heard today that Australians are only afraid of one thing, and that is that somebody will give a war and they won’t be invited.

Never at any stage did I say we weren’t a stupid buncha bastards - y’all can’t have monopoly over everything.
Gotta go - I’m in the middle of a lightening storm and the radar indicates it’s gonna get worser.

I have a question about your website: http://www.fixedearth.com and the information contained within the site.  The information you are proposing, are serious, or is it a joke.  I was unable to ascertain this, but my guess is that you are serious.

Thanks for your time.

Marshall Hall to me

I am serious, and so is the information.

I must say I am truly amazed.

Hell, now that is a statement I can get behind: All the data that does not contradicts us supports our view!

bastards called this bastard a bastard?
I thought it was quite good and captures the Oz spirit neatly ... Fuck you, and if you can’t take that, Fuck you, you fucking cunt.

Thats why we love you here in NZ, LuckyJohn. Oh, no, wait, we don’t

I look forward to reading your holy book!

Count me in also WMD.  But I want to be at least a priest or the pope of your religion or something.  I also like free beer…

Come on WMD, lets have a catchecism, or basic beliefs or something.  Otherwise we won’t be able to take your religeon seriously, and think it’s a bunch of myths instead.

(Officially it’s my birthday now, but I still have 3 hours to the actual event- does this get me some holy water- pref Cabenet, merlot or cask and hand drawn)

but I still have 3 hours to the actual event

Not if you were in God’s country, you wouldn’t.

Happy 30th birthday, Last Hussar.
Hope you have many, many more and that I’m around to say: Happy birthday, Last Hussar.

And just as a bit of déjà vu stuff: do you realise when you were 5, I was 7 times your age; when you were 10 I was ............ etc. 

This website again “proves” my previous statement that lucid thinking is at least somewhat correlated with writing style.

If your claims of truth need a riot of colored styling & formatting and sound like you din’t even stop to take a breath while belting them out, I just don’t take you seriously. Seriously, I don’t even try.
