I’m an atheist and I love Dawkins’ books about science. Religion? Not so much. He’s just such an asshole about everything.

As a physician, didn’t Ben have to take the Hippocratic Oath? A text that has its origins in Ancient Greece — a civilization where people believed that a guy with a rake had dominion over the sea and a dude with a thunderbolt controlled the weather.

I’m an atheist and both those guys leave me cold. Especially Dawkins.

Yep. I’m all for an openly atheist president, but yikes, no thank you to that ticket.

I don’t want either of those BIGOTS either.

I believe you mean Bill Maher. As for Dawkins, leaving aside the fact that he can’t be elected President in the first place, he hates Muslims too... And so does Maher. And both of them thought that a school is totally justified in assuming a smart Muslim kid who built a clock actually made a bomb because Muslims.

They confuse the bible and the constitution. Those are different documents and they don't say what most conservatives thinks it says.

Weren’t people afraid of this when JFK was elected? that he’d force everyone to eat fish on fridays and make the pope king of america or something?

If the system works properly, teachers are actually…

It is indeed. I looked it up here.

Seriously. My mom said ‘Better safe than sorry’. SHUT UP MOM, DAD DOESN’T LOVE YOU, I’M FINDING A NEW MOM, said her 28 year old daughter.

I think he had an intent.

MacArthur is more diverse than most schools in the country. The leadership right now just happens to be racist.

Don’t you understand that Bristol is the victim here? She was a pregnant teen who then went on to make hundreds of thousands of dollars as an abstinence speaker, then was on a reality show where she made more money and she had a ghostwritten book that undoubtedly some people bought...yet with her mother’s spotlight…

They do have that older-dog look, don’t they? The old ones make me melt, too.

I really should’ve taken this advice. I was like ‘aw this is sweet, maybe I’ll just check on some stuff about my visa’. Then I started having an anxiety attack, so I had to come back to this thread for emergency good feels.

We should all (who are in time zones where this makes sense) go to bed RIGHT NOW quick before anything else happens! This is a perfect way to end the day.
