Far-right indoctrination in Texas schools.

[Drake Tungsten]

BCE and CE are completely ****ing unnecessary. Anyone who feels like BC and AD need to be replaced is a ****ing ****** and can suck my balls.

[Tuberski]

And everyone else who isn't a ****ing Christian dip****.

Well, well, did I strike a nerve, lunchbox?

ACK!

QFT, and not just because Drake seems like the sort who'd like a good ball-sucking. BCE and CE refer to the same time periods as BC and AD, and it's not like you can pretend they're centered around anything but the birth of Jesus. There's something vaguely obscene about historians trying to cover up the historical relevance of terminology to cater to somebody's feelings.

Of course, that goes double for the stuff reported in the article, assuming it's actually being implemented. But Hip-Hop was very important; its birth marked the end of the era when black people invented everything new and good in American music, and the beginning of the era when they shat all over the national eardrum.

I take back what I said then. It should be taught in schools then as an important cultural milestone.

Consider: Blues, Jazz, Rock&Roll, Motown/R&B, Funk, Michael Jackson when he was still black and not a kiddy-diddler...Rap? They took a hard right turn into the Augean stables there. Are we supposed to be depending on white people for musical innovation? We honkies simply don't invent music. We appropriate others' sounds and modify them, sometimes with very poor results (see Metal, Heavy). Now the future of American music belongs to the Latinos. Think of that when you're listening to punk-mariachi fusion, black people! You let us down!

will describe the U.S. government as a "constitutional republic," rather than "democratic," and students will be required to study the decline in value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.

I use BC and AD.

Far-right indoctrination in schools coming to Texas.

Can't wait to see how they bastardize the history of the civil rights movement. Or completely distorting the history of American imperialism in late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Or how they will depreciate the secular philosophical foundation on which our nation was founded.

So we should just ignore the fact that they are already indoctrinated into your secular philosophy?

**** the Jews and their anti-Christian dating system!

[Elok]

**** the Jews and their anti-Christian dating system!

So you want the year to be 5000-whatever? Or is it 6000? Maybe go Muslim and base it on the Hegira? Perhaps you'd prefer a secularist dating system centered around, say, the life of Socrates? Whatever it is, it's got to be better than keeping the same system and ludicrously pretending it isn't divided by the life of Jesus.

[Ben Kenobi]

Must be the atheists.....again.

They do know that they are using a dating system developed by a Catholic monk?

Shouldn't commies date their calendars to the year of Marx's birth?

[MrFun]

Shouldn't you just stay out of my threads?

[SlowwHand]

Why? Do you stay out of anyone's?

[MrFun]

Ah, Slowwy. You still haven't responded to my reply to you. Where have I said or implied that all Texans are far-right extremists who favor indoctrination?

Get ready to have your balls sucked by every single Israeli. They use BCE and CE there.

Not that I disagree with you.

PS: That's a lot of ball suckage.
