I see, if inaction is proof of something malicious, then I'll start a school for the purposes of educating the masses. Therefore I am no longer malicious.

Pah! We have seen that before. Education is not necessarily good. It needs to be good education. You would just make your school to spread creationist lies.

That you are a creationist is easily seen by your faulty logic of denying the antecedent. If inaction is proof of malice it does not follow that action is proof of innocence.

Gentlemen please! This is not radicchio but hire and celery! I say we end the heart-burn and the thousand-island shocks that corned beef and saurkraut is heir to, 'tis a consumption devoutly to be wish'd. To diet, to sleep; to sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rhubarb...

but neither must we allow our currants to turn awry and lose the name of jam.

I agree. :D

Damn you guys talk a lot.

Let me first express my utter glee for the overthrowing of the diabolic major and his faulty magic sandwich promises.

Now let's focus on getting the right information out so it can be soaked up by everyone who wants to learn people!

So what information do you wish to teach in my school? :D

The kind of information that is vindicated in the peer reviewed papers describing every conceivable experiment used to test the scientific theory of evolution of course, we should not build this nation on lies as our previous major, but let truth be the highest tenant of our constitution, possibly only surpassed by free speech!
 
arg-fallbackName="Private_slim"/>
By the way, why should I even titillate it as "your" school? It's the school of the people, where all free information should be shared and thought, not only what you seem fit.

Could you be more concrete? Do you mean you'll teach agriculture or engineering or something like that?

... This should already tell you that you can teach what you wish to teach, therefore free information is shared and taught.

Do I have to spell it out? E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N! As I said, vindicated in ALL those papers I referred to in my last post. How could you misinterpret that?

I just don't believe in centralized power is all...

Edit: BY the way, yes, I want agriculture and engineering to be thought as well, maybe only on the higher levels, but I also want general science, biology, history, literature, language, PE, physics, math etc etc etc to be in the schools. Especially PE should not be forgotten in this ever more stagnant society

So, what specific subject do you wish to teach? Evolution can be taught under biology. Therefore do you wish to teach biology or start with something basic science or do you wish to prepare the curiculum?

Actually my knowledge is best based in history, but I'm well versed enough in biology to teach it if no one else can step up to that plate.

Do history, because it is essential to learn from the past. Therefore our nation will have a clear path to follow for the future.
 
arg-fallbackName="Private_slim"/>
Then I will start making the history curriculum. Making sure that wars get covered every now and then to not loose the interest of the kids, but still get all the important parts, the dynasties that rose and fell, the exploration and the discoveries, the bravery, the progress, the kick ass blast from the past, all up to the Independence of our nation!

My My, you all sure do get up early and some of you get even up angry. And i'm shocked hearing these ideas about the school. We shouldn't teach subjects, we should teach children! Don't push those small beings down one pre-destined path. Wasn't Plato right when he said:
Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Subjects - topics to teach. Example. Math, PE, English, and others.

Clearly we all have our points here and given certain bits of evidence, one side could be right, but a lot of this evidence just does not exist.

Well, there are arguments for this way, but nevertheless, children do not always know what is best for them, even instinctively. There are certain things that they will find useful without necessarily finding it interesting at the time. The job of a curriculum is to prepare the children for the future as best possible.

Hark, I believe that all of this turmoil only further proves that the teachings of the great Pat Condellite are true and wise, therefor we must construct gigantic ovens, then round up the Creationists and shove them inside of said ovens and bake them in the fire until they are dark and crispy and we are absolutely sure that they will never be able to spread their foul ideology again!!!!!

Also we must start doing random searches through the homes of our citizens several times a day at least. We must do this if we are to root out and discover hidden Creationist propaganda. Any citizen who tries to resist these searches should be executed immediately along with their entire family.

All who are in favor of these measures say "Aye".

I see. I propose that it be done in a humane manner. Doing so arbitrarily is definitely against their rights.

Agreed Irkun, no time to start the Sandwichian Inquisition !
I will also not condone killing of the creationists but suggest to banish them from our beautiful Island
