Darwin disproved

[0iD]

Whilst I don't believe Darwin's theory is definitive, this seems like a gullibility trap tbh.

Been watching the film Evolution I think...

Never underestimate an American persons capacity to completely fail to understand basic scientific principles.

If he is in some of the hick counties/bible belt I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mutated member of his family as a result of inbreeding

they know jeebus was longer than 200 years ago, they know that.

Yeah, I can't honestly believe that it's a genuine article.

But then of course, it was written in the US, so all bets are off.

So, because a monkey makes a better engineer than a rodent, we should make the monkey chef engineer?


Better job of teaching science? Certainly any of a very long list of countries would do a better job of teaching science than America. Pretty much every country in Europe for a start.

no you said, America is a joke! in what way can you call an entire country a joke? at least people in America have the choice of what to believe.. and are not forced into beliefs by law. i don't understand why you felt the need to slag off an entire country off the back of what's a blatant hoax letter.

[unreal]

I can understand why people think its fake and that's a genuine possibility, but there's also an incredible amount of stupid people out there, haha.

[Spud1]

I read that thinking "this is either fake, or written by an american"..that says a few things, no?

The funny thing is that even if it is fake (and i'm fairly sure it is) there are people who will believe such things..madness.

America is a joke, and they have only themselves to blame, their generations are regressing in scientific knowledge, their funding of scientific research has been steadily regressing proportionally, they already have a majority of people who are duped into believing the universe is only 6,000 years old, dinosaur fossils are a hoax, radiometric dating is irrelevant, and evolution is some kind of leftist conspiracy to steal Jesus from them. They need to stop believing in ignorance, and start thinking for themselves.

When you generalise, you'll find they are general lies.

I think there's a strong case of man bites dog journalism contributing to the world's perception of America. The nutjobs are more interesting than the average citizens so they are always the ones that get reported, which only leads to a perception that everyone is a nutjob. I stopped hating on America when I realised most of the attacks also applied to Britain. Fat, stupid, self centred, etc.



I've seen the top half of this letter about the tomatoes before and thought it was obviously a wind up, but now that I've seen the rest of it I'm not so sure.

I don't hate America. But I sure can mock them for their widespread embracing of ignorance and refusal to listen to reason.
