    Ruth Bader Ginsburg hopes to see an all-female Supreme Court

    Having 4 male justices and 5 female justices, or 5 female justices and 4 male justices isn't enough?

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg hopes to see an all-female Supreme Court

    Ginsburg Wants To See All-Female Supreme Court « CBS DC Ginsburg's position comes off as being extremist and shallow to me. If Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito or Clarence Thomas had said they wanted an all male supreme court, or even so much as the idea that Presidents shouldn't appoint judges...

    Would you say that Hollywood's influence is positive or negative?

    Is Hollywood a positive or negative influence on American society and the world at large? The way I see it, one thing that gets to me is the media's fixation with actors and actresses. The media is obsessed with them to the point that people don't know who their senators or state...

    "jewish-owned press"

    It can't be denied that there are a lot of people of Jewish descent who work either in media or the press. That said, I don't think it can be said that the media is not consistently anti-Israel, as there are just as many pro-Israel views as anti-Israel ones, with the former seemingly given more...

    Were the Nuremberg Trials merely show trials?

    The Germans, like all losers in the war, were put in Nuremberg because they were the losers. I suppose had the Germans won the war, the Americans, French, British and Russians would be on trial, and we'd hear more about the Holodomor, the American bombings of Dresden, the Soviet massacres in...

    Were the Nuremberg Trials merely show trials?

    I'm not talking about whether there should have been a trial, I'm talking about the methods that they used at the trial to decide guilt or innocence. In fact we might remember that in the Far East, the Japanese military commanders who agreed to hand over biological weapons data to the...

    Question ? Was palistine always occupied by palistinins ?

    To say that Qassams are "aimed" at civilian targets is a bit inaccurate, since Qassams cannot be aimed. The Qassams are basically simple steel artillery and many don't even use explosives; those that do are essentially glorified cherry bombs with less offensive power than your average illegal...

    Should people be allowed move freely around the world?

    Think about it this way: You belong to a previously un-contacted tribe living somewhere in the Amazon. There aren't that many of you - perhaps about 1,000 at most. You have a decent, but not materially wealthy life. People in your village cooperate with farming and you get along with your...

    How important is democracy?

    I would argue that actually democracy, "as we know it" cannot survive for long unless it is a) sufficiently small,or b) engages in imperialism behind the scenes. Democracy destroys the unity of nations, dividing it among political parties, and thus exposing a divided people to the mercy of...

    Were the Nuremberg Trials merely show trials?

    The Chief Justice of the United States Harlan Fiske Stone Harlan Fiske Stone called the Nuremberg trials a fraud. He said "Chief US prosecutor Jackson is away conducting his high-grade lynching party in Nuremberg," he wrote. "I don't mind what he does to the Nazis, but I hate to see the pretense...

    How important is democracy?

    The British monarchy has lasted for millenia, and many other monarchies have ruled for centuries. The Chinese empire stood for thousands of years, from 221 BC to AD 1912; dozens of other monarchies have also stood for centuries and millenia before "democracy" was conceived.

    Does Affirmative Action in College Admission hurt students its intended to help?

    Then surely you must support race-blind admissions. If admissions were race-blind, and admissions officers just pick the most qualified individuals, then surely these "far more qualified" blacks and hispanics would get in just the same.

    Why Does Humanity Create Evil;

    How can there be a combination of sociopathy and misunderstanding what's good for others? If you're a sociopath you probably don't want what's good for someone else.

    Why do some people let Obama get away with unconstitutional actions?

    I disagree that the paradigm has shifted to the right; I would say that it's shifted more towards statism. But that said, it's ironic to see all the people who claimed that "Dissent is patriotic" during the Bush administration, falling over themselves to defend Obama merely because he has a D...

    Michelle Obama: Living in a Tax Loophole? | Washington Times Communities If there's one thing that really gets to me, it's government waste and overspending. The Obamas seem to really be living it up in the White House, with all the opulence the could wish for and then some, while the...

    Does Affirmative Action in College Admission hurt students its intended to help?

    Is either person Y or you of East Asian, Asian Indian, or Middle Eastern descent by any chance? I've known a lot of East Asians who were just like person Y. Here's something interesting: 1. An Asian with a GPA of 2.8 to 2.99 and a MCAT score of 36 to 38 has a 36.8% chance of being admitted to...
