But said right doesn't and ought not apply to just any old schmuck. Convicted felons, the psychologically impaired, and, I would add, the untrained do...
Why would you doubt this? Do you have statistics to prove it? Most gun advocates, like the members of the NRA, are very well trained and encourage pro...
The killer had a felony on his record and so owned firearms illegally. So how could this shooting have been prevented, except with greater vigilance i...
When you allow for private industry to a greater extent than it previously existed, then that industry, and thereby the country, can make more money b...
No you won't. This is proven time and time again. Command economies are inefficient and ridden with corruption. Compare Chile to Venezuela today, for ...
Don't be silly. Economic markets largely free of government influence allowed for industrialization. I never said they had purely free markets. My poi...
What exactly is your economic position? Distributism still? I'm down with that, but it's madness to deny the enormous positive impact of the free mark...
Right, but a person duped is not a person forced. China is ruled by a communist party, a party that for several decades has increasingly allowed for a...
This assumes that everything the market allows is on a par with rape. That is patently absurd. Okay, so the market sells contraceptives. That leads to...
My point was that the market is amoral. It doesn't have to reward the immoral. That's entirely up to the people who interact in the market, buyers and...
These things are neutral, though. There's no internal logic to them that "makes" them support PC, ID politics, and sexual promiscuity. It depends on t...
No, that's not helpful at all. I had in mind thinkers, journalists, politicians, philosophers, etc past and present. How? Think of the SJWs and their ...
Again, this is way too broad to characterize any single "movement." There are politically correct identitarian leftists who loathe the free market, co...
I'm saying that the word is used by people with a left-leaning bias, which inevitably results in caricatures of the other side when engaging in polemi...
The word is used almost exclusively by left wing journalists and Marxist economists. As such, it carries with it the danger of being a strawman. In fa...
As a definition, that is so vague as to be meaningless. Also, I don't care whether you can identify someone else as a neoliberal. There's plenty of th...
I think "neoliberalism" is a term almost devoid of meaning, as I've never seen anyone positively identify as a neoliberal, and it seems to be used mos...
Why is it "greater" to know, love, and be powerful, than not? I do. But that doesn't mean I have to accept, or in this case, will understand, the idea...
Euthyphro would like a word with you. And I notice you failed to provide definitions. What, or who, is God? What are objective moral values? What is e...
It's actually funny that the Marxism-friendly professors sit cozily with tenure while not giving a damn about the condition of graduate students, adju...
Not necessarily. If an employer is always someone other than oneself, then by being self-employed, you don't have an employer. Or your employer would ...
"An old Tudor English word for a fool. Coined by the 15th-16th century poet John Skelton." Interesting. I've long admired this poem by Skelton: http:/...
Which rules out self-employed jobs. I guess you don't have a job, then. Lol. This only reinforces my point. Appeals to luck and a couple of anecdotes ...
Specifically, I had read the following about Neoplatonism not long before I saw your comment: From here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/neoplatoni...
Yes, but that cause need not be isolation. My point is that isolation once depressed is generally a bad combo. Sure, anyone can redefine words to fit ...
