Unfortunately, we're stuck in a vicious circle where today's bullies raise tomorrow's children, who then become bullies themselves.

not to mention that eradicating even most of the bullies still leaves school as a necessary teacher of moral behavior.

nick's point doesn't really mean much, teaching them to parent still fixes it if done properly (therapy too)
and again, ali, i never said perfect, no duh, but its less they have to do

Please excuse the ADD kid for his following post/rant. the big band and was before it Before the big band era of the 1900s, there was much. Notably, there is the Classical movement and preceded the Romantic movement with the Beethoven era overlapping the two. After these (and still before big band) was the establishment of Jazz, and Folk and Gospel and many other styles of music that still exist in some form today. But by dismissing these things as gods handiwork, whether or not it it, we erase the need to explore and determine, which is the driving force behind science. Not really. There is always the driving curiousity of "How did God do it?" Like what Galileo said "Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe." I find science as a reassurance of the presence of God, since it is nearly impossible that the universe could order itself on its own. Of course, if there were infinite space in the universe and an infinite amount of time, it might happen. However, the infinite number of monkeys with the infinite number of typewriters have yet to produce Shakespeare. Also, I'd like to point out that I do not believe space is infinite. I'd like to point out that many "wise" men of the past thought the sea was infinite and have since been proved wrong with the invention of ships that could travel the seas. It is more than a little ironic that we have space ships. Eventually, we will find the borders of the universe if we don't die before hand. Also, I say that Intelligent Design is a way of saying "God isn't an idiot. See, look what he did with life." Oh, and if someone pulls out the whole "The world was made in seven days, so evolution couldn't have happened during that time." I will point out that the Old Testament was rich in symbolism that is different from our own.

Eventually, we will find the borders of the universe if we don't die before hand. We already found em, the Universe stops where SpaceTime stops, which is at the edge of the Wave still traveling from the big bang. Welcome to Cosmology. Your assuming its possible for Mortals to understand God, which I would argue is not possible, if I were christian. I'm not, and either way, we'd never be able to prove it one way or another, moot point.

Most debates/arguments about religion end in a moot point. So, we'll cut to the fun point and start insulting eachother:
"I'll moot your point!."

if you were christian you would understand that it is impossible to completely understand god, but that one can further your understanding of him, just as, you will never completely understand another person, but you can always understand more of why he acts.
