I have debated this topic until I am blue in the face. Fact of the matter is it is irrelevant whether uniforms or not. It does not help the learning process or behavior. Kids will still find ways to pick on other children whether it is their tie is crooked, their uniform dirty etc. Kids are kids and no matter how they are dressed they will continue to act as such.

As for expression not being important in school that is rediculous. School is not just a place to learn about math etc. it is also a place to learn about who you are. Schools should encourage self expression, individuality, imagination etc. We have too many people in this world controling how we act, speak and behave. This is the reason schools have art, nusic etc. to help children express themselves. The best teachers are the ones that can bring out these traits in our children and get them interested in learning at same time.

As for fashion. That issue is on the parents. Those who want their kids to have the best clothes and be fashion plates etc. That should not be the schools concern. Parents who buy their children's clothes based on brand etc. are asking for shollow, materialistic children. Fashion and learning have nothing to do with each other. Children will find other ways to be distarted or misbehave.

Hell NO! Prayer is and should be a private affair and NOT a public one. Is meditation allowed in school? nO. wHY? Because it is a private thing. As an atheist I find it rediculous to waste students time with prayer. It is a place of learning and knowledge NOT superstition. i would remove my child from ANY manitory prayer meetings etc.

LOL! Spoken like someone who is NO expert on animals. I have worked with and trained animals for years. From pets to zoo animals and I will disagree on their level of intelligence. We are discovering much much more on animal intelligence and are finding that species of monkeys apes and even parrots have intelligence far more advancd than once thought. BTW humans are animals themselves. We need all the same basic things to exsist as all other animals. Food, water, shelter love etc.

Of course. All you need are some creative people to come up with some outlandish and impossible stories about your life hundreds of years after the events unfolded and of course embellish on them ALOT. Then even you can be Jesus!

If you actually knew what you were talking about you would know that atheists and evolution do not claim that humans are apes. Evolution shows that we once shared a common ancestor with the apes and monkeys! People who do not understand evolution are the ones that makes claims that it states humans are apes! Humans whether atheists or not are Animals and primates at that but not apes.

I have done farming for about 20 years now. If you read the cargument I made I said those who fly the Rebel Flag are red neck idiots not everyone who talks with a southern drawl. If something does not necessarily apply to you then do not take it offensively but if you do fly your rebel flag with pride then please take it the way I meant it!

Evolution in very complicated species takes an extraordinarily long period of time!

I feel that humans are evolving but not in the obvious sense that we usually think of. Humans are probably evolving mentally. We are bombarded everyday with information and technology that we were probably not meant to comprhend. I feel we are slowly evolvong to be able to deal witht he ever evolving and advancing technology and information we are flooded with on a daily basis. I also feel that humans will evolve to be able to more suitably survive our self polluted environment.

A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! What he was was a good figurehead. It was quite clear that Bush was not the true decision maker. He had others who had surrounded themselves in the past with other winners like Richard Nixon. Bush was a delegator. His wanting to atack iraq on false pretenses his decision to try to allow phone tapping etc. was from a man who was undoubtedly out of touch. It was Cheney who was the man behind the curtain and pulling all the strings!

If I remember correctly. Britain was quite embarrassed and humbled when they were finally defeated by the insignificant U.S. for the second time. by a band of farmers and laborers. By a force many times smaller. It also helped seal the end of the once mighty British Empire who has spread their forces so thin fighting wars on multiple fronts!

Wrong! At least here in America. Self-esteem is not garnered by the clothes we wear. That is part of the problem with society. We base our judgements on silly things like clothing. School uniforms do not make everyone equal, some may not clean there uniforms as often as others do. They will still be picked on for the condition of said uniform. Kids will also find other reasons to discriminate against others. As I have stated on this thread numerous times. Hair style, braces, backpack, apparent intelligence or lack therof, financial situation etc will all still become targets of other students. Also it does not make children more disciplined ever see a child wearing a suit at a wedding etc.? I was a rebellious student is school and it would have been 3 times worse if I was forced to wear a uniform!

There are many people who find this flag offensive and many who look like Red Neck idiots for proudly displaying it! There are minorities in this country who had relatives who not too long ago saw that symbol everytime they were beaten, chased, oppressed etc. it has a history and that history is NOT a good one. It is a representation of hatred and ignorance and to have pride in it shows the admireres ignorance and stupidity. There are many around the World who still display the Nazi flag and claim it is not a symbol of discrimination, attrocities or hatred but a "Symbol of White Pride" Sound familiar?

Here is an argument from a diehard atheist! I don't care! It has just become the custom to say to peolle when they sneeze. I look at it as they are wishing me good health. I mind this no more than someone saying "Merry Christmas" I know there intentions and they are not to offend us. They are being kind and issueing us good will. The atheists who bitch and complaign about every little time they hear the word "God" or see holiday decorations etc. give the rest of us a bad name!

Not if you are smart and know what is really going on. The spin put on stories is blatent and obvious. Also recently heads of the Fox network and Fox news sent memos to their LOCAL affiliates asking them to take a more conservative slant! Although one of Faux News' main propaganda engines Glenn Beck was given the heave ho!

Hmmm! LOL So am insignificant country. kicked the ass of the great British Empire not once but as I recall, TWICE! WOW! now that you mention it. Britain should be even more embarrassed since we were so insiginificant!

Hmmm let's think why this disease was so prevailent. Maybe because the Native peoples were rounded up and put into cramped reservations and camps, they were not given the medical treatment afforded their white contemporaries, and Oh yeah those blankets covered in smallpox given to them by whom ? That is right White men. Interesting?

Ah so now we cannot celebrate someone for being human? Although Dr. king was not perfect he did change society. He encouraged reform through non-violence in a time when violence was the norm. He created a revolution that changed our country for the better and did its part to heal the scars of the past!

We do it is called "Every other month!" No reason not to celebrate different races and cultures. Those are what make our country great. it is all the other holidays and observances that were dictated by the white man. Besides we have Columbus day! A true Anglo/American. Slaughtered, enslaved and forcably converted native peoples, got booted out of the city that he himself founded and ran, and became rich off the backs of the poor. That does sound like typical, Anglo/American history to me!

Wow! that is a very secure limb you are climbing out on! Not going to break anytime soon. Anytime you throw the word conpiracy in then I know that it is the work of ignorant wackjobs. So not much of a limb go out on!

It takes "blind" faith to believe in a God and anything that makes you blind (especially to the truth) also makes you ignorant!

As opposed to silly accounts of a big invisible person who made the Wordl and everything in it? The concept of evolution eludes you because you are probably not bright enough to grasp the concept as opposed to believing fairy tales written in ancient texts that have been edited throughout the millenia. The bible is full of fake "transformations" and events as well. So I can forgive you your ignorance!

Nope, did not say anything about a disorder, not everything genetic is a disorder or disease. Do you think they will find a cure for eye color, height, etc.?
