Not really - justice has a sense for a fair punishment. Vengeance is just unfair punishment (and often also unlawful one) - overly great punishment fo...

That's just what justice is.

Excellent! Seeing evil destroyed is a good thing!

I am actually curious - who do liberals view as key intellectual social conservative thinkers both past and present?
October 10, 2016 at 20:49
Give me a break. If that's what counts as a liberal, then I too am a liberal, and the biggest kind of liberal possible. Look at this. If I want to con...

What is this, some quotes from Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power and other silly writings like that? Machiavelli's Prince? These things have no place i...

But Trump was saying the truth. Some women do let you do that if you are rich and powerful. Just ask Bill Clinton. That's a big problem we have in our...

I have no bias in saying who won the debate(s) not in who I'd want to win the election. Of course it does. As we all have something to gain or lose fr...

Marriage as a religious ceremony isn't a "legal" matter. It's a religious one. And yes, religions should be allowed to discriminate based on their own...
October 10, 2016 at 10:24
I told you my analysis, which is supported by many other people, who also think that Trump won the debate. I have no bias in this - I freely admitted ...
October 10, 2016 at 10:22
And by the way Baden - did you see Bill's face during the debate? Priceless ;)
October 10, 2016 at 10:10
So you didn't enjoy Trump trashing the place with Clinton? :P This debate was a clear Trump victory (last one, as I have admitted before, was a clear ...

So that means that he will not betray the social conservative agenda which he is sorrounded by currently.
October 10, 2016 at 09:53
Haha - you try doing that, let's see you succeeding ;)
October 10, 2016 at 09:46
Look, Trump is a businessman. He got some very complex building projects completed without losing all his money - that's quite an achievement in itsel...
October 10, 2016 at 09:19
I cited a book and a study, I may as well go forth and cite Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World which explains the theory behind mimesis. ...
October 10, 2016 at 09:15
This ignores that Trump isn't alone in this race. He needs an entire support network to do anything as President - a support network he must satisfy. ...
October 09, 2016 at 22:19
Yes that's a big issue too - but then Nigel Farage and his ilk aren't social conservatives. Europe probably has very few social conservatives. Nigel i...

latter one :P

In fact BC - that is a frequent problem of religious people, beating yourself up, because of improper understanding of what is and what isn't in one's...
October 09, 2016 at 18:01
That's just a failure to distinguish between theory (the ideal situation) and practice (the actual situation).

The laugh is what your memory of Boris does to you.
October 09, 2016 at 17:55
I can largely agree with that. But social conservatives should use this as an opportunity to attack the liberal-progressive media for the hypocrisy th...
October 09, 2016 at 17:52
Crazy making only if you beat yourself up for example for wanting to have sex with another woman while married. There's nothing wrong with wanting it ...
October 09, 2016 at 17:48
No the fact that they wish this alone isn't the problem. The fact they would make this public as their wish that they are unashamed by - that is the p...
October 09, 2016 at 17:44
I didn't say it isn't true :P
October 09, 2016 at 17:37
>:O Yes I would agree in fact.
October 09, 2016 at 17:34
Oh yes, I know, you'd vote for that guy who is qualified to be President: Gary Johnson! He must remind you a bit about your very own Boris Johnson no?...
October 09, 2016 at 17:26
There's bad things about Putin I agree, but certainly none as terrible as Western (progressive) media inflates them to be.
October 09, 2016 at 17:22
This may be true - I don't have one at hand that I refer to, but 40-50% are numbers I have seen regarding the US in a few sources. But what you say ma...

October 09, 2016 at 17:13
Up that to 40-50% by most surveys for today's world.
October 09, 2016 at 17:10
Sure - but it is the case for those who set the culture of society. This isn't YET the case with average lower or middle class folk (and depends who y...

Ok - make Clinton support tougher regulations on abortion, make her appoint conservative Judges, make her adopt a tougher stance on illegal immigratio...
October 09, 2016 at 17:01
Yeah for a very simple reason that he says he will appoint conservative Judges, he will put tougher restrictions on abortion, he will end illegal immi...
October 09, 2016 at 16:16
Yes he was indeed married. Of course, it's something that must be condemned. But if we are to condemn it, we have to condemn it everywhere. Trump is j...

October 09, 2016 at 15:04
Oh so then it becomes a problem to mistreat women, and to be immoral if you're President, but if you're the average Joe it's okay right? We should tol...
October 09, 2016 at 11:51
And really I don't understand why these corrupt folks in the media are so outraged about what Trump said - many in Hollywood and the media are equally...
October 09, 2016 at 11:47
Do you disagree with the psychological fact that people emulate those who are perceived as leaders? Really this is a silly game - what do you expect m...
October 09, 2016 at 11:40
Okay, I disagree with that. It is well known that most people follow their leaders at least to a certain extent and seek to emulate them. This is besi...
October 09, 2016 at 11:12
So do you believe that what the President does then doesn't affect the beliefs of the masses? ( NO - not your beliefs - the beliefs of the masses).
October 09, 2016 at 10:49
The highest moral standards, since they set the tone for everyone else. If the President cheats on his wife/husband, it will encourage little Joe and ...
October 09, 2016 at 10:39
A law can be questioned - that's why ultimately there is nothing wrong with it. Political correctness is self-righteous and self-justifying - it canno...
October 09, 2016 at 10:20
And what you seem to neglect is that there is a difference between people's attitudes changing over time, and us or anyone else engineering such a cha...
October 09, 2016 at 10:19
Ah if Trump were to step aside and let Mike Pence do it - dream come true for social conservatives ;) - but obviously not gonna happen
October 09, 2016 at 10:13
Yes that's a civil code - I was talking about political correctness. The two are different. The civil code should be there - political correctness sho...
