You cant have people on a stage built by republican money telling people that the universe is 12,000 years old.

Yes, we can - last time I checked the 1st amendment gaurantees freedom of speech and freedom of religion. If these people hold the belief that the Earth is so many years old then they have every right to not only hold that belief but to express it, just as you have the right to express that you disagree.

So? It's a private function - they have the right to kick out anyone they want.

If anyone's talking like a fascist here, it's you.

OK, if i say im Napolean Bonaparte you will say no your not becasue he is dead. But if i take 50 children put them in a room away from society and teach them only what i want, when they get to 25 they will believe that im Napolean Bonaparte. It doesnt matter what you will say to them they will believe whatever i say because they know no different.

A completely unrealistic situation. No parent would consent to having their kids removed from society in such a fashion for one, unless you're kidnapping these kids in which case you should be put in prison. Any parents who would consent to it would probably raise their kids to believe crazy stuff anyways.

Yes, they did. The Nazis were also the government - great example of why we should let the government decide what is true and what is not right there. It took responsible non-German government people to tell them the truth.

Ok, I might agree with you here. But the outsiders don't have to be the government - you seem to have quite a mouth on you, so why don't you do it? Why don't you be the responsible person?

Yes, I can tell society it is wrong as an individual - I have freedom of speech too, you know. And like I said, you pointed out a sterling example of how the government will point out the truth with the Nazi government. Why the hell do you trust the government so much? Hell, isn't the government run by the Republicans right now? You know, the ones you're bashing in this topic?
