Surely the government can confiscate either the income or even the wealth of the wealthiest 0.1%. After all, in the US it's just 160 000 families or s...
I think what Dr Glenn Loury says about political correctness goes to the heart of the issue well: "Political correctness is at the end of the day is a...
We simply ought to use different words to describe what actually we are talking about. So, is it: a) Avoiding words that can be interpreted as being d...
Thing is that white people don't celebrate their racial background, but simply their national background. After all, since the fall of the last empire...
Oh God. This nuisance just pushed forward for 2 years and then started again. Yes, that would be so typical EU. Let's get it over with it. Let's have ...
Exactly. And such a diverse and multicultural lot that within itself this group of people harbor resentment, xenophobia and racism towards each other....
Not only that. Basically your view is extremely US-centric, which assumes that the US narrative is the only one that exists and everything follows it....
Seems that you indeed are confused. The thing is that the Ottoman Empire and Ethiopia did exist as sovereign states. And they were not the only states...
Yes. And this is the reason why I did propose this. The Florida peninsula could compete in animal richness with the Island of Borneo or the Serengeti....
State is a totally valid synonym for country: a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. To think of A...
And how things are portrayed in the global media is mimicked in the regional and national level, even if it doesn't fit the local situation. I've come...
Colonialism? As if there weren't states in Africa before colonial times? Tribalism especially in the African context is just a condescending way to de...
Except that basically the whole "white/caucasian" discourse is very American. In my country it's very strange and basically just imported here. The re...
That's a different question than is the spectrum a myth. I would put it this way: is the current political spectrum an useful tool to describe current...
The newspaper Helsingin Sanomat pondered about the problem of the next elections to the European Parliament. What if the UK is still a member? What ha...
I propose that we should have a competition of bringing all kinds of animals to Florida and let them go loose into the nature and the urban surroundin...
The alt-right are what are called white supremacists. How much neo-nazism is there, who cares. They do talk about a peril that the 'white race' is in,...
How could we get all the answers when new questions emerge all the time as the World transforms (and we transform it) all the time. And how about our ...
I think Richard Spencer started to use the term in defining how the new wave of what we would call neo-nazis and white supremacists differ from the "o...
I disagree. I've never seen the Asian community talking about an Asian genocide. And rather to talk about some tiny group of neo-nazis, it should be u...
Be extremely cautious with people that market themselves as centrists or anything new. They are absolutely the worst. Everybody will finish hating the...
Nothing tells more about xenophobia, islamophobia and the absolute and utter ignorance of other people when sikhs are attacked as muslims. I think the...
HAH! I like your funny sarcasm, but really, to define the issue without the political left/right juxtaposition would be far better. If one would start...
Actually in the lecture that I like sushi posted above, the thing with beef was discussed. The lecturer gave there interesting insights. (Also, the Q&...
I think the only logical censorship is not to state the agenda, declarations or proclamations that terrorist make before or after a terrorist strike. ...
Perhaps like abandoning for a while the left/right juxtaposition of agendas or the current political cilmate? Now that would be out-of-the-box thinkin...
Yet then the procedure just what becomes official has to have strict rules too (like the system being a democracy and the state being a justice state ...
Agriculture is turning into an industry. What is diminishing is subsistence farming, which still plays a huge role in the Third World. So likely what ...
How about rules in school or kindergarten, in sports, in games? How about rules of thumb or rules in Mathematics? The fact is that we have and apply t...
Yet political correctness exists, it surely isn't imaginary. What I agree that this is more about conservatives against progressives, not the "alt-rig...
Netherlands is very advanced in agriculture technology and uses extensively greenhouses. Here's two takes on Dutch agriculture. (And btw they put Neth...
Sorry, not 73 million, forgot the "in thousands of" and hence 73 billion by that link, where just what you take into account on all food exports can v...
Exactly, many people feel threatened. And of course some who really feel upset about the apparent PC sillyness for example in academia, might adhere t...
That really would be the thing. If now, some 15 days before Brexit should happen somehow the UK would say "Nah. Forget it. I won't leave" it would be....
There can be several reasons. Some might think that other people are hypocritical in being friendly and assume that they reveal the true nature of peo...
Actually I didn't think so. The point of power plays was just similar. This brings up one important issue here. And that is simply that the whole deba...
The biggest advance in my opinion could if the efficiency that some countries have in agriculture could be implemented in Third World countries, espec...
I think it's quite obvious in this case that this is way to stop the discussion. Since when freedom of speach means that you don't have to wait for yo...
It's an important point to notice that the value of philosophy is not just in that it is the cornerstone and also a building block for science. It has...
Perhaps the British Parliament chooses this very postmodern choice and simply insists that it hasn't decided on the issue when May brings it the third...
? Um, yes. Punishment for defamation is usually a fine, but you can get here a two years prison term for aggravated defamation. (Even if the law here ...
I remember a lesson in the University, which was for those writing their master's thesis. When explaining about her thesis, a social history student g...
You mean the whole debate is so irrelevant, not much to even discuss it or what? But has 'the Left' really embraced political correctness? If you go p...
Actually, this shows perfectly the agressive PC attitude (contrary from the polite PC stance). It's starts from the idea that debate is only a power p...
Like um…. Silicon Valley and the IT-sector have done now for decades? Besides, 11 million barrels per day and being the 3rd largest producer in the Wo...
Well, it isn't a Ponzi Scheme, it's a simple case of the market mechanism. Too low oil prices for enough producers -> drop in supply -> demand larger ...
A lot of PC people think of it like this about the struggle part. It's a power play: you exert power by getting people to adapt your discourse or idea...
