QuoteQuoteYes- quality of education. Though they want to say otherwise, they fear that a school full of poor kids will drag down the quality of education.
Any evidence to support that claim, or is it baseless?
Actions. When you get older and associate more with parents rather than children, you'll see lots of it. Political beliefs get trumped by parental fears every day of the week. Demonstrated in this forum on the subject of 'scary child predators.'
Quote***I would be very interested to see what you believe to be right and wrong. I truly am sorry if you believe I am coming off as egocentric.
*shaking head*
You just don't get it do you? It doesn't matter what ~I~ believe, or what ~you~ believe to be right and wrong. What matters is that people have the same rights to make choices in their private lives!
Do you really think this is a matter of me not getting that whatever people do in their own homes is private? This is about influence and it is not meant to spark a heated debate, but to inspire people to at least think about things and how they affect others.
What do you think about influence? Not what does it mean in regards to homosexuality, but what you think about what it is and how it operates?

QuoteQuoteThe very foundation of philosophy is mans morality vs Gods morality.
Incorrect. Philosophy, which literally means "love of wisdom" (or "love of knowledge"), at its very foundation is about obtaining knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
>>>>Im sorry about that. I took a philosophy class at one point and the entire class was around one question.."Is it right becasue God says its right, or is it right because it is right?" I believe it was about the moral aspect of philosophy. But it is interesting to me that it is called the love of wisdom. Again, sorry about that.QuoteMan represents evil, God represents good.
God has no place in secular government.
>>>>Yes and I find it very interesting that this nations principles were founded on God. Somehow, now we have the right to just go ahead and take God out. I just hope that we are able to see that we are the cause of the future destructions instead of harboring all the blame towards God. I still believe strongly that man is evil and God is good.

In this case, we're not adding laws, we're subtracting ones that prohibit actions. And this is the evolution of our morals if you insist on the word - over time our society is eliminating circumstances in which it will tell a segment of the population what they can and cannot do.
Your question of whether robbery be considered moral is corrupt - clearly that is a case of one person benefitting at the direct and clearly provable expense of another. The restrictions on minorities for being minorities doesn't have pass such a test - other than to say that it would hurt men/whites/straights because they can no longer benefit from the prior normal discrimination.
