3 downvotes but not a single criticism of the article.

I love liberals

When you contrast the number of conservative posters here with the cascade of downvotes on every one of your posts it seems unlikely that "liberals" are solely responsible.

It's so cool that Noah took two of every single animal on his boat so they could frick and save all life from extinction by riding on his boat in the rain.

about the same fat chance in believing that out of dark matter there was an explosion that created shite. Because those of us that have witnessed explosions, have been awed by all the lifeforms they created

Or the fact that at some point a male and a female organism just happened to evolve close to each other, to be able to reproduce, all the while having a limitless supply of food to maintain their offspring. A food source that also just happened to appear close enough to them to be eaten. And continually regenerate without the ability to reproduce. Since the male and female were the first ever reproducible organisms to evolve, and all

You live in a country where you've been brainwashed into thinking they are supposed to be separate.

why do you think that all creationists think the exact same things?

Because there's a difference between creationism and intelligent design believers. I don't think anyone would criticize believing God played a hand in guiding evolution. But when someone says the Earth is 6,000 years old, everyone will laugh at them.

For anyone who thinks they just got a tax credit. They got a hell of a lot more than that. I would be pissed if I was a tax payer there. This guy sounds like every other con artist that starts a church solely so God can gift him a mansion and six cars.

$18 million in state tax incentives to offset the cost of the park’s construction; a 75 percent property tax break over 30 years from the City of Williamstown (a town of about 3,000 near where the park will be located); an $11-million road upgrade in a rural area that would almost exclusively facilitate traffic going to and from the park; a $200,000 gift from the Grant County Industrial Development Authority to make sure the project stays in that county; 100 acres of reduced-price land and, finally $62 million municipal bond issue from Williamstown

Someone getting a $50k tax break is the exact same thing as no tax break + the government writing them a $50k check. Drives me crazy that people don't understand this. I'm not even opining on the wisdom of anything, just that people don't understand that there is no difference between the government collecting then spending or not collecting in the first place. The balance sheets are identical.

So in your mind if I say I was going to rob you of $100 but decided not to at this time, that's the exact same thing as me giving you a $100 bill? fricking brilliant.

You can't be this dumb. A tax break is different because it is money the government would otherwise be collecting but isn't. So the treasury is out money it would otherwise have to spend. Your crappy analogy should read:

If I owe you $100 but decide to not pay you.
