Re: In the News
here is the HR-1913, the bill in question. The only things is says about protected sex- or gender-related categories is listing " sexual orientation, gender identity " as being subject to this law. The term "sexual orientation" has a perfectly well-defined meaning -- it includes...

They were equipped with GPSes to find the addresses. Why would anyone need to mark them, if almost all those addresses are already correctly pinpointed on any decent map? I mean, dude, seriously!
Chalk one up for stupid conspiracy theories.

Re: Obama's Chicks in Bondage
Obama wants to echo John F. kennedy's declaration, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Ayn Rand was right at that time to identify this as a new fascism Got your marching orders now, did you? you people abused the word 'socialism' to the point...

Re: Police State
That is the sort of double-think that George Orwell would be impressed with. "By separating from the herd you join the herd" When you make a point of specifically setting yourself up as being non-herd -- yes, that's exactly what you do. The way out of this trap, this inescapable duality, ...

Re: Police State
And the fact that Foucault believed that, makes his views true -- how? I myself am inclined to the "give me liberty or give me death" perspective. I communicate with regular people all the time. I see precious few among them who think that it's desirable to give up liberty to gain security...

Re: Police State
Or maybe your desire to feel superior. Maybe you just need to believe that most people wish for a police state so that you can feel like a freedom-lover, standing out of the crowd in your intellectual and moral superiority.

Re: Women caused the credit crisis:-

There is no private police, and there can be no private police, for reasons which should be obvious. I was making a point that there is no private police to compare public police to! man,...

Re: If women didn't get the vote...
A lot of western free market democracies had less efficient economies than the USSR. In the time that I'm talking about(70s) the USSR had a very efficient economy. Cretin, that was the very worst era for Soviet economy. That was the Brezhnevian stagnation ('zastoy'). Soviet economy sucked ass throu...

Re: Women caused the credit crisis:-
Indeed, but does this relate to the discussion at hand? Of course it does. Generally, the government does what the private enterprise cannot do, or at least cannot do well. As such, the claim that private sector is more efficient than public sector is total lunacy -- not because it's wrong (it's no...

Re: Capitalism and Socialism:
That would depend on who is setting its value. In a totally un-regulated free-market system, yes, that's probably correct (otherwise minimum wage wouldn't need to exist). However, it is possible to set standards *as a society* through which we collectively decide the value of labor. Socialist centr...

Victor, those who sell their labor on the free and efficient market. Just to make sure we all understand you, where else do the other folks sell their labor or products?

Re: Capitalism and Socialism:
Wrong. Capitalism can’t be “fixed”! Read Marx’s Capital. I know it’s rough going, but plenty of insights to be gleaned. For example, one of the irredeemable “root problems” of capital is its need for unemployment. Why is it an irredeemable root problem? There’s a demand for quality bread, let’s say...

Re: If women didn't get the vote...
The main problem with this discussion is that "productivity" is a very slippery socio-economic concept. You essentially have you argue against Government itself to make a case that some jobs are unproductive or unnecessary. I've never seen that case made well. Indeed. There are things fre...
