    Just a thought

    Let's try an argument. Let's start with.... 1)God is good. 2)The good do not condone or order genoicide. 3)The book of Joshua asserts that God condones or orders numerous genocides of entire societies. Therefore the book of Joshua is false. Its concept of God is false. --The Bible is at least...

    Peter Singer on abortion

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. Also, just for the record, Singer's "famine, affluence and morality" is one of the most articulate appeals to the point that the resources of the world should be used to prevent starvation, poverty and death by curable disease that I have ever read. Strangely...

    Peter Singer on abortion

    Any third party may, but must any? Just as any potential mother may choose to go through with the pregnancy and raising the child, but must she? The child is still fully dependent on the support of others after birth, dependent on the efforts of others to sustain it. Is it simply that it...

    Peter Singer on abortion

    Mhmm. And how does that change after the baby is born? Thus Singer's troubling conclusion.

    Documenting "Intelligent Design"...in film

    I knew that Ben was an idiot of sorts as soon as he explained that, in looking for a presidential candidate, he looked for someone who "loves america."

    Is social reform like painting the deck on a sinking ship?

    The metaphor works for me to some extent if the sinking ship is capitalism. Forgive my vulgarity but perhaps "polishing a turd" is a better image for it. The efforts of moderates and liberals within the capitalist system to combat poverty, raise the minimum wage a dime or two... The efforts of...

    Future Civil Rights Arguments

    Hopefully, in the future the American people will take up the cause of the civil rights movement, the very same one that was defeated and abandoned years ago. The one that the Dr. King fellow was involved in. And I think that it is dependent upon the people coming to realize,as Dr. King did...

    Why is the US crime rate so high?

    No, no. It's none of that. It's the fact that we have a weak welfare state and treat our labor like sh*t. The taxpayers have the choice whether they want to adequately fund education, see to it that everyone is employed in good jobs, eliminate homelessness and greatly reduce poverty. We...

    What is the solution for ILLEGAL immigrants?

    It's impossible to stop illegal immigration, it's going to continue to happen regardless of our policy. Therefore it's not really an important issue. We should do our best to patrol the border and make sure that employers aren't exploiting slave wages. That's about it. Until Mexico fixes...

    Does anarchy = chaos?

    Interestingly enough, fascism I think, would result from lawlessness say, in the United States, because a lack of representative government or federal govt of any kind would lead to the total domination of corporations, which would essentially become the government. Even more so than they...

    Is Bill O'Reilly a Wise, Good, or Honest Man?

    He is an evil man completely consumed by hatred.

    Sarkozy elected French president

    It's an issue of wordplay and of framing the story. Let's say I get elected to congress and the news outlet that functions as my minister of propaganda issues a story titled "Finally, a non-terrorist, non-child molestor elected to represent the 5th district!" It doesn't take much critical...

    Sarkozy elected French president

    I am neither a Bushist nor an imperialist. I would criticize someone for being either. Am I unfriendly to America?

    Sarkozy elected French president

    I am well aware of the news. My point is that France would have been a US aly under Royal or virtually any other viable candidate. Sarkosy is called pro-american on Fox news because he is conservative.

    Sarkozy elected French president

    Is he called American-friendly because he is conservative? And presumably Royal hates America because she is a socialist? Are all liberals anti-american and all conservatives pro-american? Is that how we are defining the terms?
