    So you're talking about creationism.

    Creationism, it has as much "fact" as the darwinian theory that all the new Irelanders are all over. Think about it, if the people around nowadays are the "evolved" type, what must it have been like two thousand years ago.

    I also like how these new Irelanders think they are all scientific, you put a man in a white coat with some numbers on a page and the little people swallow the lot.

    Evolution works over millions of years, not hundreds or thousands.

    What about fossils? How do they fit into things?

    Who are these new Irelanders you refer to?
    Are you talking about all these new-born kids with their jumped attitudes?
    You're absolutely right.
    Saw some of these new Irelanders in a creche recently and it turned my stomach so it did -with their fancy early learning centres and their ooh-la-la toys with buttons and their hoo-haws and everything and their numbers and their counting and their PHDs and their opposable thumbs. Just disgusting it was. A disgrace.

    Also as an aside what's "up" with the "quotation" "marks"?
    Is it some "new" way of writing? I like to keep up with the latest trends.

    P.P.S Are you any relation to Parker Lewis of "Parker Lewis can't Lose" fame?

    New Irelanders are all these bog men irish types who now drink "skinny lattes" and other tatter type food. Think they are great.

    So you're weren't talking about those arrogant jumped-up science babies :confused:

    Where would you find these
    bog men irish types who now drink "skinny lattes" and other tatter type food

    I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about here.
    What's tatter type food? I've heard of tatter-tots and I think they are ok
    Also why does "skinny latte" get quotation marks?
    Is it like that sarcasm thing when someone says someone is really skinny but in reality they're not that skinny but are actually a bitten over-weight?

    Where do these bog men Irish types hang out?
    I'd be interested in seeing them in action
    Do these new Irelanders think they're great or do you think they are great?:confused:

    Never heard of this Expose. What is it?

    Also can you do some research into the whole fossil thing and get back to me? With my recently developing interest in the latest trends I'd love to know.

    Also Parker Lewis link

    I am constantly amazed at how easily the average person is taken in by propaganda. I mean, it only takes a few stories in the media and the masses are spouting off about some new issues that we "must be saved from." "Where are the governemnt on this issue".

    So my question is, are you taken in by propaganda?

    The reason for this is because most people are emotional thinkers, not logical thinkers. I actually find this quite scary.

    Example:

    The public sector wages need to be cut because we cannot afford to pay them anymore.

    Emotional thinker: I have a mortgage so they can't cut my wage.
    Logical thinker: It sucks, but I understand they have no choice.

    The whole concept of people basing their decisions on their emotions is dangerous, and is one of the main reasons we have so many problems in our world. I'd say probably 80% of people are emotional thinkers.

    I don't know what the solution is, perhaps try to teach it out of children in school.
