A Conversation about Libertarianism

Believe in evolution. One reason they've been taught it so much that they're starting to look, act, n smell like apes

Evolved people pretty much believe in facts and science and are open minded, while cavedwellers and apes grunt, point and hoot at the sky, and run their lives based on the demands of a mythical creature that lives in outer space.

(No offense intended to the decent good people of religion I know. Although you have belief you don't use it to hurt other people. Religion makes you more accepting, patient and loving and has helped you to evolve. Not devolve.)

I'm glad you added the last part because I for one do not wish to be part of the "mix".

My wife through her job as taught and apply a concept called Gentle Teaching. From what I understand, the core principle is just ignore the bad and reward the good (and some redirecting is in there too).
I hope some here could apply this concept too tho I understand it's a struggle at times. Try not to fall in to the "Someone is wrong on the internet" mind set. Stop bitting at the bait.

This is the reason you should not be home schooling your kids. Your post makes no sense.

"I can understand y people." I'm assuming you mean: I can't understand you people. If that's what you mean, what you wrote says the exact opposite because you were too lazy add 't and turn can into can't, and too lazy to type out the word "you" and too lazy to proofread what you wrote.

"Believe in evolution " Who? Are you telling us to believe in evolution? Or did you mean, I don't believe in evolution. Or did you mean, people believe in evolution- I'm assuming it's the last one?

"One reason they've been taught it so much" again, huh? As for the apes part, are you calling people who believe in evolution apes, the teachers, or are you saying they've been taught evolution because (one reason) they act like apes? And who are "they?"

I can't take anything you say as serious or intelligent when you can't even make it understandable. I'm hoping it's just that you are too lazy or a troll because the only other reason I can think of is that your writing skills are really that terrible. Please for the sake of their future let someone who can put together a sentence in English teach your kids!
 
One thing you even libertarians are not realizing about homeschool is freedom. Not only are fathers commanded to raise (which includes education) their children. Here in Alabama we are FREE to educate our children. Weather I teach good grammer, bad grammer, or no grammer these are my children not yours and not the states. Definately not the fed's. Do you have children? Are you utilizing education welfare in the form of gov't funded public school?

And yet, the government can take your kids at any time they want. :eek:
The constitution of our country guarantee's an education, I seriously doubt that it is a welfare system... Honestly, you sound more and more crazy every time you type something. I am very glad that I did not grow up under your roof.

Sir I will feed the fish for a moment. I'm not sure if you bother to study other cultures if you do you might find evidence to support creationism. I myself am evolutionist. Among other cultures the Mayans as example you would find a very similar story to Adam/Eve-Cain and Abel. I don't think you would do this because you have one point of view and you are going to attempt to shove it down all of our throats.
Oh! and yes I have children and they were home schooled for a time, because I didn't want the uber, Christian right teaching them. My children learned tolerance and acceptance of other people, cultures and life styles. What do your children learn?

Do you hide from the weather under the pier? Or is that too much pressure?

See the "a" in grammar. Man, I know it's tricky to see it, but try, it's such a neat letter. Sitting there all correct and stuff.

Dude, if you are going to insult education, at least try to sound like you are educated. You are not helping your cause in the least, and actually bolstering our points. Heck, all we have to do in this debate is quote your posts and write "see my point?"

And I'll bet your apples haven't fallen very far from the tree. Taught exactly what you have been taught and completely unwilling to open their eyes wide enough to see anything beyond the blinders you wear.

My children just have to be kept in line. Like every other lost sinner their mind is prone to wickedness.

Seriosuly people still talk like this. Your wife is she a sinner too, you keep her in line.

Up to and including you.

Yes I'm sure he is a sinner, we all are. Thankfully my God offered me the ability to choose and make my own decisions. What God would 'keep us in line'??
