No it isn't pick on Loco day.
Apparently it was pick on Loco day to you. You must have waken up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to take it out on me. This isn't a thread which I created and you were not even addressing me, but MCWAY instead. Yet you took it upon yourself to bring up "loco" to accuse me of something which I have not done and accuse me of being dishonest. I asked you to substantiate your bold claim, but you did not. I don't know what I did to you to deserve this, but I guess you are free to do whatever you want to whomever you want on the Internet.
Do I need to post book, chapter and verse every single time on the religion board. I don't know what you're talking about when you say that I quoted the bible out of context. Can you elaborate on that please, because I'm not seeing it from that thread. I think what I posted was totally in keeping with the title of the thread.
Do you need to post book, chapter and verse every single time you use the Bible to back a claim? Well, Deedee, after you told MCWAY...
Just post your bolded text and write new articles altogether.
...I'm gonna have to ask you why not just write your own Bible text that supports your claim all together? After all, if you don't post the book, chapter and verse nobody can verify it.
The interjection of my comments were accidently bolded
Accidentally? Yeah, sure Deedee, yet you are so quick to call me dishonest. I did not do that to you:
Thanks Deedee, but you injected your own words and your own interpretation into the Bible above and to one who has not read the Bible it would appear that your words are in the Bible.
And why are you criticising MCWAY and I for bolding text when you admit to doing the same? There is nothing dishonest about bolding, highlighting, italicizing text in quotes for emphasis if you are not injecting your own words and as long as you provide enough of the text to keep it in context, provide a link to the rest of it, and/or provide a reference to your source.
, which I fixed immediately when my attention was called to it, which is quite unlike something like this:

And when did you call this to my attention? And what's there to fix here? Unlike you, I did not inject my words into the quotes. Plus I provided the link to the rest of the article for anyone, such as yourself, to go read the whole thing and make sure I'm not quote mining or being dishonest. You are welcome to have a friendly discussion about my post without resorting to accusations of quote mining and dishonesty, Deedee!
most notably:
"Dr. West claims that " the eugenic movement, which led to the sterilization of tens of thousands of Americans against their will, many of whom would not be considered mentally handicapped today, was promoted by evolutionary biologists in the name of Darwinian natural selection." While this may not be factually incorrect, it obscures and omits some rather important details. For example, while many biologists did support eugenic policies, many important biologists did not." - Mark Borrello

That quote didn't support your claim at all, but you posted it anyway, and just bolded the bits you liked. Did you even look at your link? I don't know how much more ridiculous your stance could be made, than what you made of it yourself. But I enjoyed the article. Pretty much threw out your whole theory that eugenics should be blamed on Darwin and gives further evidence as to why scientists shake their heads, and why they should.
And what was my claim, Deedee? Did you even read my post? That post was directed specifically at Columbusdude because on a different thread he had kindly explained to me the difference between Social Darwinism and Darwin's theory of evolution. That's what I was referring to in the second half of my post.
And how have you corrected me? I do remember you pointing out the difference between Darwin's theory of evolution and "Social Darwinism". However...
In response to Columbusdude's explanation, I posted Dr. John G. West's view that Darwin's theory of evolution and Social Darwinism are the same and why he has this view.
Because I know a one-sided view is not enough for Columbusdude, I then followed Dr. John G. West's quote with an opposing view from Mark Borrello and bolded the text that I wanted to emphasize to show that even Mark Borrello, who disagrees with Dr. John G. West, can't deny that many biologists did support eugenic policies. This is my only claim and Mark Borrello does say it, even if he does not agree that Darwin's theory of evolution and Social Darwinism are the same.
If you disagree with my post that's fine. Let's discuss it. Please don't be so quick to resort to accusations of quote mining and dishonesty.
