I'm not sure where this should go, but I think Spirituality is maybe the best bet.
Anyway, I'm in 10th grade, and I have a terribly shitty biology teacher. Mr. Richardson. The other day, I got in a huge fight with him over something that nobody should ever have to argue with anyone whose life is devoted to science--we argued creationism.
First, he started giving us a little spiel about how, as soon as a sperm cell and an egg cell meet, "that's you, that's a little baby." That pissed me off majorly, because I'm one of those pro-choicer baby-murdering motherfuckers. So I told him, "No, Mr. Richardson, actually you are wrong." It's about the ballsiest thing I've ever said to a teacher. I was very proud.
He started saying that as soon as those two cells are joined, that's life, and that's a baby. I argued that a sperm cell is life, and so is an egg cell. And that, in fact, any single cell is its own independent life, as he had taught us.
He didn't like that. Then we got into fetuses.
I recited all the characteristics of living things that he had given us to memorize. I pointed out that a zygote doesn't fulfill all of those functions, and neither does a fetus, nor does it become anywhere near an independent organism until the abortion cutoff.
So that brought GOD into the situation. He kept saying that "That's how nature meant for it to be," cleverly switching "god" for "nature." How clever. Except that he kept saying "god" by mistake, and then correcting himself and saying "nature."
I just gave up at that point, and, unsurprisingly, received a 65 on my participation grade, because that's the only thing he could deduct from without being corrected by hard, objective facts. (I've got like an 89 average in his class.) But to be fair, I shouldn't even have that. Aren't I always the one bringing in new class discussions, just like that one? I should get a fucking 100 for my participation grade, and this retard should be fired for teaching religion as science.
Um... discuss below?
