| Socialism is bad. Evil! Even just a tiny bit of socialism is evil. I mean, just look at Venezuela. They're socialists, and let me tell you, it's terrible there. And the thing is, socialism will always lead to Venezuela. And fascism. And communism. And Hitler! Nobody likes that guy. I don't know if ... |

| Whenever I see people debating about this, they often aren't even talking about the same thing. When I say free will, I'm talking about whether or not there is some aspect of ourselves outside of our physical components (like a soul) that controls what we do, as opposed to us simply being physical ... |

| Labor laws must be enforced by the government because there is no other incentive for employers and corporations(let alone people with a lot of money) to treat their workers fairly. The same goes for civil rights. People favor their own over those who are different from them and will treat people f... |

| In my first year of university I enjoyed one night stand, no strings attached sex. It was sexually liberating and taught me a lot about myself. My female friend warned me that if i continued i would become a 'slut'. It may be just a word but it hurts, you just don't want people to think of you in t... |

| I can recall that in the 70s, many single young women in my age group or slightly older seemed to present the attitude that they were more than ready to have sex with any guy they found genuinely attractive, without the need for "courtship" and without any presumption of exclusivity. Typi... |

| The famous civil rights activist .S.B. Fuller would disagree. He used capitalism to defeat racism. Oh did he really *defeat racism*? Or simply enrich himself and do little to create opportunities for other blacks. Surely poverty wouldn't be nearly as widespread and the civil rights act unnecessary ... |

| As liberals gave this country civil rights laws, labor laws, environmental protection, women's rights, LGBT rights, and everything else that's good, I'd say that makes a good argument for liberal virtue. As conservatives have wanted to turn back the clock on those things mentioned, I think a case c... |

You do realize that government bureaucrats are people ? If people aren't qualified to run their own... |

| What you consider "reliable/credible" has the issues to which of any "authorities" you subscribe. Fundamentalist Dogmatic-Christians do not regard anything that cannot be found in the bible as credible, Muslims will likewise want to see if the Qu'ran has something to say to dete... |

"The limits of debate are established in this country before the debate even begins. Everybody else is marginalized, made to seem l... |

| Bullying is a complete turn off in what ever form. Someone who protects other weaker people is far more attractive to women as it displays the protector attitude that women seek when looking for a mate. It's not the dominance itself that is attractive biologically but the ability of a man to be a p... |

From some information that I looked at recently, a case was presented that takes footage of the structures around that city, revealing what a... |
