This isn't as much a criticism of libertarianism as it is a dismissal of it. I think a libertarian would be content if you acknowledged his views logi...
It applies equally to men and women. The question is what is in the best interests of the child period. To the extent the cheating parent's ability to...
The legal trend, as I understand it, is to provide less alimony to divorcing spouses. This trend is the result of women being largely equals in the wo...
When one is divorced, the marital assets are equitably divided. Equitably means fairly, as opposed to equally, which means cut in half. Sometimes equi...
Then you simply fail to see a key element of capitalism and why it's preferable over other systems. Financial incentivization is very effective. Robot...
Much like the difference between God and god, the former suggests that there is but one and the latter that there could be many. One who believes in G...
It's handled efficiently as is evidenced by the never ending innovation and increased productivity. In fact, it is this very system that is producing ...
The requirement of labor is a reality of existence, not a decision made by coercive elements to cause pain to the masses. Someone has to pick the frui...
Well, first off, my point was that what you envision is some sort of teenager utopia where you reap all the benefits of labor without having to do any...
I like this idea, but instead of #1, I'd replace the robots with a money tree. Assuming the tree flourishes (which I'm sure it will), 2, 3, and 4 will...
Trump has had no gaffes. It's all intentional and his supporters like his politically incorrect shooting from the hip style. The pundits have been rid...
The consequence of godlessness is an inability to assert universal rights and wrongs. This is the case despite the fact that the godless do in fact as...
I'm not on the pro-police bandwagon. I don't walk around thinking that cops are always great and make no mistakes. I just think there's this trend whe...
As long as you start with the premise that the only type of justifiable police shooting is one that is necessary, you don't end up in shock when you h...
I don't know what to make of this either. He's been declared dead, his estate distributed, life insurance benefits handed out, eulogies said, wife rem...
"While almost every news outlet is using this situation to further divide law enforcement and the community and claiming that Officer Mader is a victi...
The things what you say are mean and if I had the knife that went through the interwebs, I would stab each of everybody here. I'm talking stupid so yo...
I really wish they'd show the puppy moments after the fall so that we would know if he sort of just got up and ran away or whether his neck was snappe...
Since it's clear Banno will not be coming back, let us on this day hereby consider him dead. A eulogy is in order, but I am too emotional to begin. I ...
Trump? Yes, yes I do. Our wall is going to be fantastic. Suppose you heard Banno was run over by a train and that he was definitely not ok, what would...
I say we call him. I believe Tiff has his contact information. Of course, once he returns we will wonder why we summoned him. In the meantime, I'll be...
A hummingbird came inside my screened-in porch and couldn't get out. I named her Stuckey. I got a tennis racket and she climbed on the head of it and ...
Not sure what you meant here, but my position is that the concept of being swayed by argumentation is meaningless without free will. You would not be ...
To the extent that attitudes are passed down by parent to child, the attitudes of those who do not want children and who do not have children will not...
Belief in free will is a necessary precondition for any meaningful understanding of the world. To deny it is to admit you deny it because you are comp...
I embrace Cartesianism. He was right that there is something distinct between mental states and physical states and we aren't really any closer to fig...
The question of how much authority a current Supreme Court gives to its prior rulings (stare decisis) depends upon the personal ideology of the Justic...
It wouldn't require an Amendment. Just like the Court ruled that abortion was a Constitutional right, they could rule it's not. You make an interestin...
I find that Republicans and Democrats are generally the same when it comes to self preservation. One isn't any more moral or selfless than the other i...
The irony is that the media believes it is responsible for the outcome of elections, the very objection Trump supporters make against the media. The t...
I see some distinctions here, though. Germany as a nation was the enemy in WW2 and they were officially Nazis. So, to hate those Germans and those Naz...
A complaint I've heard from academic philosophers is that the field is vicious, with everyone cutting each other down, criticizing one another for the...
If someone asks me who I am, I tell them my Social Security number (345-90-7843), date of birth (6/27/66), bank account number (Wells Fargo 392820411)...
A few things: I have no doubt that nuns choose to be nuns and therefore choose to wear the clothes they do. I'm not sure the average Muslim woman has ...
