Lol. this is not the only thing that is taking the minds of Americans. The cup fiasco is stupid, that I'm sure we can all agree on. However, we can't deny that everyone and their mother feels that their opinion matters more. The ever lasting Race debacle , People and their ideals on guns, Hating the president because of his skin color/religion/whatever the hell they feel like today, Children beating elders, People killing people because of the color of their shirt, Police beating children etc. you get the point. Starbucks cups is the very least of America's problem. But, cups is what's on everyone's minds instead. Because as the generations go on, people seem to get dumber in the States. I'm living in Germany right now, and you know how often these things blow up? Never in the past 4 years, let's put it that way.
Look. I do wanna make one thing clear. I did not post this to bash on Christianity as a whole and I think a lot of us here are beyond doing something so childish too. But I do understand you point of view and I am happy that you are at least vocal on your opinion on this. No one should need to be scared to say what they feel. I'm just personally curious how others see this, which was the original intent of this. So I do apologize if it started sounding like a Religious Bashing Agenda.
Exactly. This is like saying 'Fire is Hot' and then going to protest it for that sole reason. It one of those moments where you just loose brain cells when you hear asinine excuses for such a thing. It's a cup, nothing else.
But schools shouldn't supply you with inaccurate information.
It's not inaccuracy as much as selective misinformation. The reasoning behind such things is pull in children without overbearing them. We teach only specific things that we know children can get a mental grip around and then let them expand upon that on their own terms. How they end up perceiving it is through personal choices and experiences. A lot of science behind teaching points to the use of such tactics. While on paper it may seem weird, in actuality it is more helpful to our learning process and mental growth. By teaching them the topic but purposefully leaving out certain details, it forces the curious minds of the taught to go explore more answers to what is taught to them and expand upon it accordingly.
Such as? That isn't anything but the schools curriculum at fault. If your school/or children's school teaches that 2+2=8 then yes, they shouldn't be teaching, and your kids shouldn't be taking what they say seriously. However, when scientific theories which are backed by scientific evidence are taught, they are not "inaccurate".
Evolution and gravity aren't theories. Both actually exist. The Big Bang Theory is just that: a theory. It hasn't been proven, therefore you can't say with certainty that it actually happened.
Gravity is a law. Whether you want to accept it or not, evolution and gravity exist and are real. Evolution can be as small and simple as bacteria becoming resistant to pharmaceutical drugs over time, or macro evolution in which case new species branch off of a common ancestor over the course of a millennia to millions of years. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. This can be readily observed and tested by anyone.
So if someone has a different belief or view about something you do not agree with is an "idiotic aspect of a group?" Boy that seems awfully passive aggressive to me.
Classic example of first world problems.
