To defend democracy: "Democracy is the worst government form that exists - except for all others that have been tried" (paraphrased according to Winston Churchill). I also believe in direct democracy. Switzerland has a direct democracy, and it works. The citizens also vote on important stu...

What I'm sort of hoping now is that Scotland will leave the UK and join the EU.
But I guess it won't happen soon, if it will happen at all.

I don't know about a genocide list, but usually when I stop replying to a thread it's because I feel I've said what I want to say on the subject; and further posts would just be a rehash of what I've already said.

But that's okay, no one else does either.

True that.
I guess I used "fascist" and "violently authoritarian" as synonyms.

I never called Trump fascist. But I know that physically harming a politician and his/her supporters is a fascist tactic.
Basically, Michael Tracey is advocating fascism to prevent fascism.

Went on a 5 mile hike Saturday. Sunday, pushed myself in my gym class then toured the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. My legs are screaming at me "why?!?" There are two solutions. 1) Exercise every day, and your legs will get used to it. 2) Don't exercise at all. The best place for...

Peach was a bit of a name at the start of the New Atheism movement on youtube. Devchelle2 is her boyfriend/husband. He really isn't much of a name, but people know him through Peach. I just googled "Peach new Atheism" (without quotation marks), and the first hit was this: http://www.relev...

phe_de

Most Google hits for them are a video about Pride 2014. Atheism isn't even mentioned there.

Two people Google doesn't even know exist?

EDIT: Or are you talking about Peach & devchelle2 ?

That I don't consider publicly keeping a record of quotes from yourself to be a sign of narcissism. However I don't think it's a sign of being an asshole.

I worded it poorly yesterday; guess I was tired.

phe_de

I can't say I'm surprised of your response. But I'd appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth.

Not really.
And even if it were so: You haven't proven that it's a bad thing.

That was the first hit I got for googling "MJ treatment"; and the person in the montage looks neither like Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan.

Wow. This makes me wonder if the Ku-Klux-Klan might turn out to be useful idiots. After all, they may have sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions that "races" should be kept separate, and that Africans are inferior. After all, there's the curse of Canaan, which makes as much...

On the other hand, the concept of childhood as a phase of human life where children can be children is relatively recent.

I've been saying it for years: Restrooms should not be separated by gender but by function.

In the economic sense, it means one is in favour of free markets and minimal regulation.

Isn't that more of a philosophical/theological distinction than it is biological one? I'm not sure.
