Okay, that is it, I'm not discussing this with you anymore.
>>> Do you think Obama wants to flush the government down the toilet or do you think he wants to grow it large like Jabba the hut? Which one is it? You really can't have it both ways like your conflicting/inexplicable views...see above.
I think Marx has moved, but try to dig up the phone numbers for Lenin or Stalin...they might be able to help clear things up for you.
>>> We all know "socialist/Marxist/communist" want to protect laissez faire or is that considered more Free-market anarchism?
If that's true, then why do so many on the left attack McCain for "deregulation?" Actually, the truth is that "socialist/Marxist/communist" want HUGE regulation...anything but laissez faire...to maintain their control of social equity.
>>> While you are at it what the heck is communist anarchy? Isn't that like a total oxymoron or do you just like to throw that word in there for giggles and kicks?
I think you've mistaken my words for those of someone else. I've never spoken of "communist anarchy."
>>> I pointed out that Bob Jones University would provide sanitized points of view to help the concern that children would be exposed to left wing points of view in university.
Why to you believe that BJU would provide a more "sanitized" point of view than any other institution of higher learning?
>>> I was asked how my children enjoyed the school, pointed out that they were too young for University and added that we'd not be sending them to a Christian school as we are not Christian.
I gathered that was the case when you stated those facts.
>>> I did not say Christian Universities in general provided sanitized views. I'm quite certain any number of Christian schools provide a wide variety of points of view for students.
Then I presume that you have some personal knowledge for making the allegation that BJU provides a "sanitized" point of view?
>>> It is not possible to grow up in American and not be exposed to Christian points of view, moreover my church spends an entire year teaching our youth about the faiths in our community, two months of which are spend on Christianity.
Sounds nice...but I wonder what kind of "church" diminishes it's own teaching by promoting the beliefs of other churches?

Their website.

I have no idea.
>>> What a shame to limit your children's education, to not let them hear many different viewpoints and make up their own minds about what is right, and instead just telling them what is right. Or rather, what YOU think is right.
Well, I understand that many liberal parents find value in exposing their children to many schools of thought, like socialism, fascism, racism, atheism, liberalism, and all of the other "isms" lurking around out there so that they can "make up their own minds about what is right" without imposing a "parental rudder." I, on the other hand, think it's more appropriate for parents to teach their children values and morals, rather than simply throw the ideological doors open and see what sticks.
>>> In my experience, such a method usually backfires, but hey, as their parent, it's your perogative.
Well, it's worked for thousands of years...and we've all seen the success that liberalism has had on society...and it hasn't been pretty.

Really?
>>> Okay, that is it, I'm not discussing this with you anymore.
Ok.
>>> You clearly have an agenda and are only willing to belive the worst in Obama and his supporters.
Of course I have an agenda...just like you do. But unlike you, I don't have to live in a perpetual state of denial about the man I'm supporting for the Presidency.
>>> I like to debate the issues with people who are open to discussing ideas. I just don't think you will be satisfied with my answers or willing to discuss them with logic, based on what is in the platform of each candidate.
>>> One thing I do want to point out before stopping this is that most of the people my age are supporting Obama.
Yeah...liberalism is usually pretty rampant among "the young." Wisdom and experience usually temper that ideology.
>>> It is our future, we will have to live with the results of an Obama presidency for longer than you will (I'm assuming by your attitude towards my age that you are older.)
Hey, Newsflash! Not being dead yet, it's kind of our future too. And it's more likely that "we" will be the ones getting screwed by Obama's socialist agenda...and it will be a hard lesson for "the young" when that "screwing" trickles down to you, in the form of fewer jobs and lower wages. Enjoy the $500 welfare check and the terrorist attacks that Biden warns will come...by electing Barry, you'll have earned them.
>>> Yes, we are idealistic. So was Martin Luther King Jr., so was Ghandi, so was Susan B. Anthony. Such idealism has changed the world, remade it into a place of greater equality and peace. Don't discount the idealism of the young; we make the future
No...actually you don't. Maybe you should check out the ages of the "idealists" you mentioned.
>>Why to you believe that BJU would provide a more "sanitized" point of view than any other institution of higher learning?<<
>>> Their website.
I took a peek at the website and wasn't able to find anything that said they offer a "sanitized" view of the world. Can you show us where it says that?
>>Sounds nice...but I wonder what kind of "church" diminishes it's own teaching by promoting the beliefs of other churches?<<
>>> I have no idea. My own church doesn't believe helping our kids understand what other people believe diminishes our teachings -- we think it enhances them.
How could teaching contradictions enhance the beliefs espoused by your church?
