              Heaven forbid you should expand someones thought process by giving them a different angle to think about

                    I participated in a religion/politics poll on msn the other day, and was fuckin' shocked to see that over 50% of the people who took it believe in creationism over evolution.

                        A few years back I saw a 3D film at the N.O. IMAX called "The Last Buffalo". It was spectacular

                        Also saw a Rolling Stones concert there. You haven't lived until you see Mick Jagger's nostrils 8 ft tall
                        .

                                It requires some reading and analysis, but this Natural History magazine piece featured a series of essays regarding evolution theory versus the Christian faux science "intelligent design" theory:

                                Intelligent Design versus Evolution

                                Among other quasi political-religious efforts, Christian religious zealots in the U.S. are organizing an attempt to take over school boards and legislative bodies in order to promote an agenda that helps them raise funds to promote views that run contrary to science.

                                The banning/boycott of the IMAX movie that dares mention evolution is a manifestation of this, as is this current attempt in the Florida legislature to allow students to sue professors who teach evolution, to the exclusion of the non-scientific religious creation theory that they wish to see taught:

                                Law Drafted to Help Students Sue "Totalitarian Dictator" Professors That Teach Evolution

                                We must stop this religious craziness in it's tracks - not just Christianity, but all forms of religious brainwashing must be confronted and debunked. The fact is, that much of the violence and strife in the world is formented by religious extremists.

                                Only a secular society, that values science over superstition, can provide any hope for peace and advancement of human civilization.

                                  IMAX is a business, and their reasons for not showing it in those southern cities were based on basic marketing principles. I don't blame them for not showing it in a market that would likely be uninterested in seeing it.
                                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                  I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                    By the same logic, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" should not have been shown in theaters in the South - but it was, and it did quite well there.

                                          Oh, lemme see...the fact that it is by far the best selling documentary of all-time in all markets might have something to do with that.

                                          Also, I lived in the South for a few years, so I know that not everyone who lives there is an inbred redneck.

                                          In any case, taking issue with my analogy is off topic.

                                          If you have anything to offer on the evolution versus intelligent design debate, or about IMAX theaters in the South copping out and refusing to show a movie that dares to note the scientific connection between volcanoes and evolution, based upon their supposed view that it might be unpopular with religious kooks (even though the movie is not even remotely centered on the creation versus evolution debate), have at it.

                                          Even unevolved religious knuckle draggers are entitled to an opinion.

                                              If you have anything to offer on the evolution versus intelligent design debate, or about IMAX theaters in the South copping out and refusing to show a movie that dares to note the scientific connection between volcanoes and evolution, based upon their supposed view that it might be unpopular with religious kooks (even though the movie is not even remotely centered on the creation versus evolution debate), have at it.

                                              Even unevolved religious knuckle draggers are entitled to an opinion.

                                                Also, I lived in the South for a few years, so I know that not everyone who lives there is an inbred redneck.
                                                So you have no proof that Fahrenheit 9/11 "did quite well" in southern states? Sounds to me like you're just making assumptions.

                                                    You made a claim. You failed to back up that claim when asked to do so, and now your strategy is to simply insult the person who asked you to prove your claim.

                                                        That means nothing.

                                                        2. What if the previous record holder had $1.50 in sales?

                                                        Look at yourself, you can't back up your claims, so you've become a 12 year old. Change the subject by calling me names. Get a hold of yourself and be mature.

                                                          Yeah, the redneck market doesn't dig new fangled ideas like 19th century scientific theories.

                                                            Now I see how you got 10,000+ posts. You just like to be annoying by baiting people.

                                                            1. Fahrenheit 9/11 was extremely profitable (doubt it, do your own research dumbass).

                                                            2. If the previous record holder had only $1.50 in sales, then Fahrenheit 9/11 totally kicked it's ass (proving once again that you are a dumbass that just had your ass kicked again - even though I'm not assuming that you are capable of understanding that).

                                                            If you are capable of intelligent discourse and have anything to say about IMAX theaters in the South blocking showings of "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea" simply because it mentions evolution, or the Intelligent Design versus Evolution debate, I would love to hear about it.

                                                            Otherwise, your PeeWee Herman-esque "I know you are but what am I?", debate style is pretty feeble, so don't be disappointed if I don't keep feeding your need for attention.

                                                                1. Fahrenheit 9/11 was extremely profitable (doubt it, do your own research dumbass).
                                                                Once again, this is meaningless.

                                                                The movie could have very easily been profitable as a whole, but lost money in the southern market due to lack of sales.

                                                                Look at yourself, you're still calling me names? Seriously, how old are you?

If the previous record holder had only $1.50 in sales, then Fahrenheit 9/11 totally kicked it's ass (proving once again that you are a dumbass that just had your ass kicked again - even though I'm not assuming that you are capable of understanding that).
                                                                  This doesn't prove anything either. You have failed to prove any of your claims, and now I predict all you will continue to do is use insults in an attempt to somehow discredit me. Sad and pathetic. Very pathetic.

                                                                                      People don't know how to work together.. just as with the gas prices.... If enough people just didin't buy gas for a few days, the prices would drop quick-like...

                                                                                      Too many just go with the flow.. don't make waves.. get fucked in the ass.. it's all good just as long as they don't have to do anything outside of their protective little shells...

                                                                                        I saw Fahrenheit 911 during the middle of a workday in a county with the highest concentration of registered Republican voters in Texas. The place was packed and the audience cheered. 911 played in that theater for at least a month.

                                                                                        But then, Texas isn't really the south. Mighty red though.
