I'm sorry I offended you. I should have said that I don't want to get into an argument with an anti-abortionist about abortion.

I think that she was making fun of both people like Sarah Palin and retarded people. See this quote: "The only problem with adopting a retarded child is that the retarded child, when you are 80 is well, still retarded"

To anyone who down-voted, I'm curious to know why. There have been at least 5 down-votes, but no replies.

Making fun of mentally retarded people isn't funny. They are victims of circumstance, and its sad that they'll never be productive, self-supporting individuals. Making fun of people like Sarah Palin, who believe that they are virtuous becau

The two authors have completely different views about the purpose and nature of history. Justin Cunningham, the author who doesn't think that memorizing historical facts is important, has the view that history is just a collection of discon

I think that you've missed the point. Knowing that the Pilgrims landed in America in 1620 is very important! You have to memorize dates in order to place events in their proper context. I suggest you reread the article and then read his mor
