There are Capitalist dictatorships. South Korea under Park Chung-hee or Chile under Pinochet are examples. |

| There was atheism in ancient Greece. The Bible would'nt say "The fool says, in his own heart, there is no God" if there weren't atheists back then. |

Im not really anti-Trump, but I don't support him. I agree that mainstream democrats are foolish for obstructing him with the Russia-gete bull. I don't think impeaching him would necessarily improve the situation either.
He ran with the neo-con party, so he has to play in their court. |

| It was a very injudicious move on Trump's part to move the embassy to Jerusalem...….to say the least. Anything to keep the fundie and holy roller voters, as they believe moving Israel's capitol to Jerusalem moves us that much closer to the end of the world they so yearn for. The irony is they may m... |

| At least in the world of economics and employment yes. We're in a particularly tense position where holding on to job numbers seems like it would be fighting innovation, companies across the board run leaner with fewer people and accordingly get by with far less in HR-related costs. I heard yesterd... |

| Hmm, don't men build things like prisons and vans? Were generally bigger too. I don't see how any of this is a physical possibility. The only way to convince men to build a prison for their selves is through a lot of heterosexual relations with women, so I don't see how women as a whole could achiev... |
