Are we becoming a nation of morons?

Oh please, never heard of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? There is a whole billion $ industry revolving around such things..
Remember that "what do you do when your mates are lying question"? Imagine you are down the pub when your mate Dave says
1. Yeah, last weekend right, we killed this bloke, but a few days later he came back to life
2. Oh a few weeks ago there was this huge gathering, but no-one had any food. Now this bloke reached into a basked and just kept bringing out the food. He must've feed a few thousand people.
etc. etc.

This is the results of those people with clipboards who try and ask you questions on the street isnt it? The ones who try and make eye contact with you, so you look away and move ever so slightly left and pretend you havent seen them, or suddenly find you've got a text message you have to read.
I thought they were always going to ask whether Jaffa Cakes were biscuits or not

If someone told me they REALLY thought ghosts existed I'd get them sectioned.

Socialist dogma means that the thick, dependency culture, feral subclass are paid to breed as much as possible. Whilst intelligent, hard working people are taxed out of breeding.

Just remind me, when did somebody prove ghosts don't exist?
Just remind me when did somebody prove the tooth fairy / Father Christmans / Jack Frost / fairies / the bogey man / God don't exist ?All these things are, to a normal intelligent person, inherently unbelievable...

DARWIN
evolution, it just, erm, happened ok
that makes adam and eve a load of old tosh
^^had frequent visits from johovis bread at uni while studying zoology, kinda boiled my piss but provided great arguments
and while im on the subject, if you like reading try richard dawkins, guy's a genius
ETA quote from dawkins "It's been suggested that if the supernaturalists really had the powers they claim, they'd win the lottery every week. I prefer to point out that they could also win a Nobel Prize for discovering fundamental physical forces hitherto unknown to science. Either way, why are they wasting their talents doing party turns on television?"

I think that education and science advanced for about 2,000 years until about 1990, and is now going backwards.
Perhaps we have a new Dark Ages ahead of us, knowledge and skills will be lost (as they have been many times before in history), and will have to be rediscovered in another 500 years?
