Unless you care a little bit.

For the record, I don't necessarily find the actions of these people entirely despicable, at least in principle. The Bureau of Land Management itself ...

What will probably happen is they'll give them all free Wendy's burgers. I mean, Dylann "Stormfront-Disturbed-Youth" Roof got a free burger.

Point noted about contextual differences, but what you said has actually happened in the past (for example, the Marin County courthouse incident or th...

I would like to switch my vote from the Anscombe to the Marion Young, since there is a tie here.

The 'it gets better' movement has encouraged more and more people to come out. This would have been a great time for you to be 30 years younger again!

The only ethical solution here would be full support for the Rojavas and no support for anyone else. At the end, have the Rojava leadership assume reg...

I find Ashley Madison to be an incredibly moral thing. Your relationship is almost certainly a vacuous sham, you are most likely biologically predispo...

Sayonara Mars Man.

I think the general characterization of Stoics in this thread is too non-complexly algorithmic. It makes no sense to say that Stoics have no concern o...

Typo. Fixed.
