[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"][QUOTE="harashawn"] There is no such thing as witchcraft. It is not possible to contact "evil spirits", ouija boards, tarot cards, and magic 8 balls are made by toy companies, not wizards.harashawn
I didn't say they werent made by wizards, but I do believe in witchcraft and the supernatural. You don't have to believe in it, that's fine, but you saying that is doesn't exist is YOUR opinion. It's not a matter of opinion. If witches existed then they would be considered a real threat.
"Another part of the amendment sparking controversy is a section that reads "no student shall be compelled to perform or participate in academic assignments or educational presentations that violate his or her religious beliefs""
I can see this part being abused by students quite easily.

sorry,but you have to excuse me from geometry and physics because i believe only angles can make arcs.... imagine.
Just because a group of people are a majority doesn't mean they can't be oppressed. Case in point, our current President, a self-identified phony Christian, supports insurance companies to cover contraception even if they are personally opposed to it. This is like forcing a vegan to serve meat at his vegan restaurant. Also, most insurance companies cover contraception for health reasons. It's for sexual reasons that's the issue. There are so much more basic necessities that the government could be funding if you value such acts. Contraception is not one of them. Most Americans aren't Christians. I think a Christian is someone who attends church weekly, which I don't think compromises half of the American population, and that also refrains from political affairs, which I would imagine compromises more than half of those who attend church weekly. So, less than a quarter of Americans may be considered Christian. Also, the no true Scottsman fallacy is not at work, because someone is not a Christian merely because they identify as such. If that were the case, I could identify myself as a woman, but that doesn't make it true.
umm im catholic, i use condoms and my wife takes the pill, none of the priests at my at the last 5 churches i was a member of (i move allot) had any problem with that. in fact none thought it even made us "bad" Christians.
my point is being a good christian means being a good person, it doesnt mean following every intricasy of a now mostly irellevent book (at least when it comes to laws and rules ).
[QUOTE="Dark__Link"][QUOTE="jesuschristmonk"] Lol. I can bet you our army didn't even think of showing the explosion off to show them what it would do. But if I remember correctly, we didn't truly know what would happen after it went off. The bombings on Japan were pretty much tests if you think about it. Not to mention bombing the ocean would kill all those fish. What did they ever do wrong? :P.worlock77
The military and government probably had 500 different plans for how the bombs were to be used, and 500 more contingency plans for when the originals went awry. You can bet they thought of everything. What happens if they decided to drop one off the coast, and it fails to detonate? They only had two... so what do you do with the second bomb? Attempt another strike off the coast? Hit an actual city? Even if it works, what if they don't surrender? You've got nothing after that, except an extremely costly invasion, or hoping that the eventual surrender in Western theater will coax the Japanese into giving up. But you don't know they will. There were too many possibilities and not enough insurance. They decided on the option that would end the war with the most certainty and the yield the least total loss of life.
The Unted States did not only have two atomic bombs. And at that point we already had perfected the means to mass produce them. In fact the Truman administration had drawn up plans to drop one on Japan every few days, indefinately, until they surrendered.
