Title: The 20th century is just a theory, it never happened.
Post by: Swamp_Thing on May 24, 2005, 04:11:21 pm

This one has got to be, hands down, the dumbest thing i ever heard!!!
:lol:

May 24 - A political action group is applying pressure on the Kansas State Board of Education to ban any and all references to the 20th century from school textbooks, a spokesman for the group confirmed today.

"These textbooks state unequivocally that the 20th century occurred, as if that were a proven historic fact," said Gordon Lavalier, the group's leader and spokesman. "The simple truth is, the 20th century is and has always been nothing but a theory."

You know what's sad, that it needs  to be pointed out to people that it is a satire. Because in the world of today, that doesnt sound all too far-fetched.

Yes it does. I can distinguish between the shenanigans of fundamentalists and stuff like this, as should most other people. Seriously guys...

...though I had no idea MSNBC did satire.

I thought it was real, I figured a group of evolution suporters was trying to point out the stupidity of some creationists arguemnts.
