BC vs BCE...People are retarded

[st. louisville cards]

Channel 4 hyped this up last night, it was the lead at 10pm.
Some parents are objecting the Rockwood School District's use of textbooks that replace the familar B.C and A.D. to describe periods in history.

Some textbooks in the Rockwood District have replaced those familar letters, which are based on a Christian timeline, with new letters. No more "Before Christ," but now BCE, meaning "Before Common Era." The traditionally used AD becomes CE, or "Common Era."

16 years ago when I was a Freshman at a Catholic high school, they had already changed this. Why is Rockwood just now getting to this?

Does anyone here actually think this is a big deal?

I'd be willing to bet there is a high correlation between anti-BCE people and those who want to teach "intelligent design" in school.

Shame on you? Seriously? I'd love to hear the argument against changing it.

The poll on KMOV.com is 90% against the change. People are retarded

[BigAlCardsFan]

People ran out of things to complain about in Rockwood, I guess..

Correction. People that comment at/vote on local news or newspaper websites are retarded.

They've become a new stereotype for the 2000's. Every single news outlet has them and it's as though each is trying to be both dumber and more bombastic than the next.

Not the rules I was referring to. Just a shot at StLouisville about the kid and his hair from yesterday.

[beercats2000]

I don't have any problem with changing it, and then again, I don't see why anyone wants to waste the time to change it. Seems like there are more important things to worry about.
