All of the above
and said : ...and proud of it. Democrats believe that everyone is equal, that anything I am allowed to do everyone else is allowed to do. Democrats believe that nobody's body should be owned by anyone else, that a zygote isn't more important that a woman. Democrats believe that we should be moral and sensible when we make decisions and not be good for the sake of some reward in the afterlife. Democrats rule. (oh, and we can spell too)

#4: Sure you will get proof that all this stuff is true, but only after you are dead.
and said : I don't know if that fools believers but it's the one I get all the time. Bit of Pascal's wager usually thrown in there with it. "You'll see when you're in hell." ... doesn't tend to make for polite debate. Also when you construct an argument and are confronted with a random bible verse, makes me consider converting for the peace and quiet.

My family was Christian...
and said : I celebrate the holidays as secular events and tradition, just not about god. My family is mostly Christian with the exception of my Dad who's also atheist. In Scotland most people are registered to the Church of Scotland but couldn't care less about religion and probably couldn't name a single bible book. My parents aren't very religious but my grandparents are a little. They know I'm a non-believer. My dad's side would call themselves Christian but are actually more agnostic so it doesn't bother them. My mum's side, though, are less supportive and I'm banned from discussing anything religious with my grandma. There's my entire religious background for ya.

and said : I agree that there are some kids on here who are annoying. The one's who can't spell and only make polls about the Jonas Brothers. But if you ban under 18s you'll get just the same number and they'll lie about their ages. Just look at any social networking site. They all have age limits but kids who are under that age limit still join. Besides that I'm under 18 and I encounter a lot of idiotic adults. Even if you don't agree with my views you'd have to say that I give real arguments and respect to people. Age isn't a factor and sadly we can't just make an IQ test on the registration form.

Yeah, I got it all figured out.
and said : A fraction of the evidence written by a teenage girl: 1. Bacteria mutates and can become resistant to penicillin, eg. MRSA. The strains that survive are the resistant ones. A mutation that causes an advantage becomes dominant. 2. Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic condition which causes red blood cells to become sickle shaped. This can cause irritation to blood capillaries and lack of oxygen to cells so is clearly a disadvantage. In most places this condition is rare and usually caused by a mutation, not inherited, because it is a disadvantage. But it can be an advantage. There is a much higher occurrence of sickle cell anaemia in malaria zones as malaria cannot be carried in sickle cells and therefore sufferers are more likely to survive and reproduce. 3. Our DNA is known to mutate (Down's Syndrome, ginger hair, etc.) and is very similar to that of primates. 4. As we get further back through history fossils become simpler as shown by this nifty picture: 5. Living things are all very similar in their chemical makeup and basic anatomical structures - like cells. 6. Selective breeding of dogs. Shows us artificial selection can produce very different types of animals in just a thousand years or so. This means that natural selection can clearly do even more if it has a few billion years. There are many more, for example geographical distribution, that I won't go into because I can't be bothered and don't feel smart enough to explain properly.

here are my realistic tips
and said : In Scotland we do exams called Standard Grades when we are 15/16 and my big tip for the writing exam is to read some Dickens or Gregory Maguire the night before the exam and pick out some eloquently fancy phrases to use. I wrote all my stories in a Dickensian style, it's so easy to do and I got the top grade.

I knew some homeschooled kids, here is what I think about it.....
and said : If it is done by a qualified teacher, with a good curriculum and the child can have social interactions beyond the home then I'm fine with it. It can be a great thing for the right child under the right circumstances. However this is often not the case. Some parents insist on teaching their children despite being under-qualified to do so. Where I live this is perfectly legal but there is a reason for teaching courses and that reason is that not everyone has the ability and knowledge to teach. Sadly some parents also do not allow their children access to real education. I am talking, of course, about the fundamentalist Christians who teach only Creationism. You are well within your rights to teach Creationism at Church but please don't dress it up as science and force it on kids who don't know any better. Don't teach them the likes of this: Then there are kids who never see any other children. My cousin was home schooled for a year and he absolutely loathed it. I cannot describe how much contempt he had for 'school' and all because he didn't get a chance to discuss things with other kids or play with friends his own age. To be quite honest the child also makes all the difference. When I was little I used to finish my work ahead of the class because I liked learning and was content to quietly sit through breaks with a book so I think homeschooling would have suited me. On the other hand the cousin I mentioned loves to go out in the playground with all his friends and that was all that motivated him to go to school so it didn't suit him.

No, they were just having fun and they did apologise afterwards...

After it was on the news they got about 40 000 complaints. Talk about a band wagon! The guys apologized and people don't seem to care that it was funny!

1-Year-Old Brides Are NOT OK!
and said : My cousins are 1 and they can't even say 'marry', I reckon they'd learn to say 'crazy' pretty fast if this was them. It's ridiculous, barbaric and plain wrong. And it is our business because this seems very much a violation of the rights of a child which are defined internationally. Can you imagine getting a school report card to give to your husband? Would it call you Mrs?

Yes, and here's my explanation.

And if you're in Edinburgh go to the Edinburgh Dungeons, they tell you a spooky history of the country, educational and fun as is the ghost walk. Have fun in Scotland!

and said : I'm not sure I agree with this but not because I'm one of those bigoted morons who doesn't agree with same-sex marriage. I don't think that first graders should have political badges. They don't have their own opinions on complex issues like this. On the other hand the parents did give permission for them to go and it is good for them to learn about families different to their own - be it same-sex, divorced, lone parent or different religion - to teach them about tolerance and diversity.
