What really will solve this is when renewable energy is simply cheaper than energy generated by fossill fuels. Just legislation and carbon taxes aren'...
Donald Trump is a right-wing populist surfing on the newest version of the "Red Scare" in the US, which has reached the hysteria phase (that is the fe...
The best way to stop population growth is to improve the living conditions of people. If people are more prosperous, they have less children. At least...
Ok. We got an agreement. We can do something, but we never won't do anything as drastic you mention. I think a lot will be done. Yet I haven't ever be...
It surely isn't. Here you have to show the police that you properly store your firearms in a safe or a strongbox. Firearms cannot ever be loaded while...
Landru Guide Us, Since your last comments, many that I agree with, are actually constructive, I'll have to apologize for calling you a troll. I unders...
Actually I'm not calling him a troll because of that. I'm calling him a troll because he doesn't even respond to actual comments of others, but just l...
It obviously is. There's something inherently wrong how US policemen approach these situations. Perhaps it's the response to 9/11 mentality: to show t...
Feel free to discuss this with the local troll, who actually has already earlier on the thread stated that Australia has a ban on guns and that this b...
Debating fascism these days has a different role as to debate other political ideologies. The reason is that it's simply dead. There are no actual tru...
That's the main problem in my understanding too. Once you have the 2nd Amendment argument, the NRA has, well, a logical negotiating tactic of simply o...
Try sometimes a new thing, Landru, read what the others actually write. Take example from BitterCrank (or Throng above). They actually responded and m...
Well, you simply don't get the point that people are trying tell you, so whatever, Landru. Besides, The most likely people that end up having accident...
As even this thread shows, those 88 cases aren't actually the one's looked at when one makes gun legislation, but the discussion focuses on the "gun m...
Guns don't leave you when they are 18-21 years old. ; ) I assume that when people talk here about armed society they think of a society where people c...
When any debate about an issue becomes too heated, it usually becomes emotional. At worst, opposing sides will have their own experts with their own s...
This is a problem for me too. I think this a quite universal problem in academic circles, where a certain specific language is used, starting from abb...
No, just to show how illogical and totally emotional based your argument is. You are for a total ban on guns, yet you don't see any problem with knive...
So it is with cold weapons, Landru the Chairfighter. From exactly the same site that you took the parking dispute gone bad news: Police: Man stabbed t...
Well, if it went through as now, which basically means that Finland or the Czech Republic or Sweden that have problems with it would be overruled, the...
The example here is how gun controls are done: a EU-level ban instituted and to be pushed through in a few weeks with no public discussion. It's not y...
It's not about relaxing the present gun control, it's about the banning of now legal guns that is the problem here. People would be fine with the curr...
Interesting Venn diagrams. But the above table, are Pythagoras and Feyerabend truly opposites? And how is Kuhn really in the anti-realism camp? After ...
That's obvious. And your point is that "Ban guns and we don't have gun massacres": that some loonie cannot shoot and kill randomly innocent people, be...
For a country that isn't in NATO, has mandatory conscription and the defence forces' deterrence comes basically from the large reserve force, it's a t...
There isn't an "ugly incident" here about once a week, and there definately isn't a terrorist attack every week, so you remark is off base. But tighte...
What I most despise about the whole gun ownership/ gun legislation issue is the way it is handled, actually universally in the West (both here and the...
Actually I think that we agree in many things... but as "philos" we don't easily understand that as we talking about different things and viewpoints o...
But unfortunately this looks to general public as too lame. So no. Bomb the Middle East. "Take the fight to ISIS". And Sunni states there, those that ...
Actually I'd advise people to read is an article in the Washington Post, which really gives clear picture of just what ISIS is going after with these ...
Sorry if I give that kind of impression, that wasn't what I intended. When moderates cannot give what people want, radical elements take over. And you...
Yet if we really want Muslim nations to commit here, we simply have to treat them as real allies, not handle them as our own proxies or mercenaries th...
So Benkei is the problem. Or people like him. Well, let's just think about another time when the way terrorism was handled was different and the outco...
Fine. But perhaps you would answer to the question I asked later. I think nobody here nobody has any objections about that the ISIS or IS is made of e...
Jamalrob, perhaps you don't see the excessive simplicity you argue for. What you describe above is the typical "Islamo-Fascists that hate our freedoms...
But remember that the way Americans interventionism to basically everywhere is sold to the American public through fear. I mean let's face the facts: ...
Well, in fact similar kind of methods of violence that Alpha used against terrorists kept the Soviet system afloat in Russia and it's satellite states...
Sorry, misspelling. Of course I meant minority (of 20% or so). With a Sunni majority Iraq would be a totally different place. I'll correct that. My po...
Because the Russians want to have a foothold in the Middle East and a customer for their weapons. Especially after Libya Russia won't likely start put...
I have to say that this long article is in my view basically propaganda-talk and not the greatest articles. Yeah, they (the ISIS folk) are murderous, ...
In a country that is in war where the military cannot handle the security (or be everywhere), civilians being armed is in my view understandable. Othe...
Of course. Thus you should try to mimic us. Start with going to the sauna. Like the US Ambassador to our country did: http://static.iltalehti.fi/fiidi...
What you are here forgetting is that democracy, something that may have it's roots in the West, is now something universal. I don't think that South K...
Well, the problem with your thinking is that you are basically attacking both sides in a conflict. Add the Al Nusfra front and basically bomb everybod...
Russia economy has been garbage for a long time. Russians are used to that. They aren't the French, who would of drop of a hat man the barricades. Wel...
I remember I had doubts at first, but after reading Scott Ritter's small book in late 2002 I understood that it was a hoax with the mushroom clouds......
Some thoughts here: - Who are you talking about when you refer to "we"? The US? The US+France+UK? NATO? - What international coalition are you talking...
