Too bad I'm a completely different person than that anon.

Stop being a stereotyping moron. You're as bad as people who think all black people like rap and eat watermelon, and all that racist shit.

@Anonymous: THERE ARE NO DIFFERENT ANONS!!

@Anonymous: Got all your stereotypes out there yet?

@Anonymous:
No, would you like to do the honors since you're so good at it?

No, I didn't. Maybe I wasn't specifically enough. Yes, the USA should protect religion and freedome of religion but...

...it shall protect ALL religions.


"Yes, and controlling religion and peoples' beliefs isn't democratic."

I don't say you can't believe whatever you want. You just shouldn't can force an unproven theory (which needs some basic faith like in god) on other people in a public institution of the USA, like a school. (Ah, and the Evolution Theory HAS such proofs it is completely scientific and theoretically everybody can be able to relate on it without any religious belief. It is pure logic and evidences. Like science has to be. So no, religion and science are two completely different things.)

"Yes, but America shouldn't tolerate anybody who wants to, plans to, and actively carries out such activities. There is a difference between having a belief and carrying that belief out."

But if you allow creationism to be taught in schools then christians are carrying their believes out on others. I'm completely okay with believing in creationism but don't teach it the kids in biology. Do it in religion or something; I don't care there.

"So? People are still entitled to their own beliefs, no matter how wrong they a…

Downvote for made up numbers

@sonofnothing: i like that everyone seems to think it's all obama's fault. like the whole problem wasn't looming over our heads for ages.

@Anonymous: Not even 2oo hundred users on canv.as

@Anonymous: A fuck yeah counts as 150 stickers

@Anonymous: yeah, but if you wanna downvote something until it disappears, you have to start somewhere.

@Anonymous: You're not going to get that many downvotes because there are not even 200 users on canv.as

@Anonymous: that was my point, this post will live on in all of it's glory

@Anonymous: that really needed reposting?

@Anonymous: yes

@Anonymous: Why can't I spend about 200 +1's on a "Fuck No" Mega Down-Vote sticker?

"So? People are still entitled to their own beliefs, no matter how wrong they are. Are they hurting you because they don't believe we descended from apes as evolution calls for? No, not at all. Somehow, you just can't handle the fact people have different opinions."

Oh, I can and that very well. What I have a problem with and what can become a problem for the USA itself is, if we start to think that religion and science are basically the same thing and starting to teach creationism in _biology_ is one sign that the USA is already believing that. A democracy must be able to protect science as well as religion.

"This, I can agree with, but like I said before, we have a Judeo-Christian majority, so majority rules, and isn't that a key element of democracy?"

Well, no. If 51% would vote to bring back slavery. A democracy has to protect ALL of it people. Not just the majority:

>and the Defense Authorization Bill only says non-citizens of the United States can be help indefinitely
No, that was the amended version proposed by senator Feinstein. It was shot down, 55 to 45.

@Anonymous: Why would anyone put a happy face on that? Do you like the current version which applies to citizens?

And then Lincoln started the Civil War over stickers.

@Anonymous:
Aww, really? Well, fuck.

@Anonymous:
Wait... In the Senate? Proof that Democrats hate freedom, since they hold the majority.

@Anonymous: I thought everyone in congress hates freedom.

@Anonymous:
Apparently not 45 people.

@Anonymous: Implying presidents make budgets.
Clinton's surplus was set up by Newt Gingrich, Clinton shut down the government refusing to sign it. Eventually he signed it.

Bush's highest debts were his last two years in office when Democrats ruled congress. Guess where Obama's increases were the sharpest? the first two years.

Remember when Obama said increasing the debt limit was immoral? Why does he not feel that way when he holds the credit card?

@Anonymous: funny how that article says Clinton caused it

"the stopgap spending bill that Clinton vetoed Monday, leading to the shutdown."
