In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins 1359

An anonymous reader writes "The latest Gallup poll is out, and it finds that 46% of Americans hold the view that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. According to Gallup, the percentage who hold this view has remained unchanged since 1982, when they first started asking the question. Roughly 33% of Americans believe in divinely guided evolution, and 15% believe that humans evolved without any supernatural help."

"So mining the border with Mexico specifically to blow up civilians would expose that as a pretty big lie. It would also be tantamount to a declaration of war against Mexico." You are forgetting that no one would be blown up if they obey the law. That is a very important point that continues to be lost here. It is amazing that in most countries they are rather picky about crossing into their country illegally. Hell, even Mexico gets a bit pissed when they catch u doing that. Why is it so revolting for the people of the US to just want their borders protected and for people to come in the front door the correct way? There is not a terrorist group in the world that doesn't know that it is easy to get inside the US via Mexico.

Good luck with that in court. I know by police reports and news articles, heck even cops has have more than a few, of many would be thieves who had rude surprises waiting on them after repeated breakins. Most juries do not support the criminals who breaks in and are injured in the process. I have seen many who were greeted by armed homeowners or business owners this is no different. Many of whom are rightly shot for their efforts. As for the "Topic" have fun with that too since constitutionally they could put whatever including mines on the border to protect the country.
