Written by someone named Alphabitch here are 10 facts, perhaps a little brashly presented, that perhaps ought to be added to the curriculum.

Well, alright, maybe number 4 doesn't have to be taught in schools. But looking at the bigger picture, that's a useful bit of realism too.

Feel free to discuss any of the points raised, or suggest your own.

Ah, I don't quite agree with this here. I don't think it should be taught in schools. I do think evolution should be taught (I never was taught about evolution; my biology teacher refused to touch it). But she's being rather caustic with this one. Billions of people earnestly believe God had a hand in the creation of our world.

I do agree that sex leads to pregnancy. Apparently, it was how I came to be born.

Figurative "amen" to #8.

I get that this is a rant. I get that it's supposed to be in-your-face-yelling. I even agree with most of it. But it's hard to take someone seriously, or even be amused by them, when they come across like a slavering rag.

Ooh, can I borrow this phrase?

You do know that "amen" means "bring it here" in French, right?

And it means "So be it" in Hebrew.

It also means 1 male in ebonics.

SOMEONE could have warned me not to read No.2 No.4 while I was eating my fuggin breakfast!!

It is however a very good point

*WARNING* Don't read number 4 while eating your breakfast.

Is that too late now?

At least your sacrifice will serve to protect others, and we salute you for taking one for the team.

*Salutes*

Isn't that an example of wikiality and truthiness?

Can ya not mention No.4 and me "taking one for the team" in the same comment again. It could be taken the wrong way ;)

Good point, well made.

Didn't think that one through.

That would go above and beyond the call of duty, and would probably deserve a medal of some sort.

Although not a rusty sheriff's badge. That would be wholly inappropriate.

Urgggg!

I apologize for quoting Chris Matthews but I read this and thought, tell me something I don't know

and for those who don't know...


Go directly to your nearest library. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Of Course it doesn't make it true, it just makes it necessary for her to argue her point with a little less vulgarity. That's a lot of people who won't be listening to her. But I guess she's just ranting.

Y'know, I'm not entirely convinced that Ms Bitch is looking for converts. I think her agenda is more to entertain. Which probably accounts for the ranty style.

Mind you, there are plenty of people who want to spread the word of [insert zealotry of choice here] who think they have the gift of enthusiasm but really just rant.

I'm much more entertained by the satire in the Ricky Gervais video doggylives just posted than by someone grabbing my figurative shirt collar and screaming in my face.

It's a matter of taste, I suppose.

If it makes you happy.
