    Anti-Christian philosophy

    I think people who are often interested in philosophy are also the kind of people more likely to question their beliefs. As to what you mean be "knowledge," I'm not sure; do you mean science (certainly not synonymous with "knowledge")? If so, I do not think so; rather, it is the movement away...

    It will be Baldwin for 2008!

    The Constitution Party did.

    Must be more of that vaunted liberal tolerance...

    So! Partisanship is dangerous! Imagine that! Of course, that doesn't stop the "other side" from coming in here and taking advantage of the situation to spew their own partisan nonsense.

    We Don't Need Any Handouts

    Hmm, upon closer inspection of the OP, my mind is riddled with many questions and comments. I can't quite figure out what the point of the OP is. Who's asking to have their dreams handed to them on a platter? What does that even mean to have your dreams handed to you on a platter? Is that...

    We Don't Need Any Handouts

    I agree very much that people who don't earn their wealth shouldn't be receiving it. But that's not limited to just welfare deadbeats who are perfectly capable of contributing to society but don't. It also includes excessively wealthy executives and shareholders who, for some reason, receive...

    Dawkins Admits that they are working on it.

    Perhaps there's some virtue in admitting that you really can't quite yet explain the universe but you continue to make an effort, as opposed to just assuming you know it all right off the bat?

    green power question?(follow up to bio deisel)

    I question your notion of "rich global warming people", but I will say that most American "environmentalists" feel they are doing their part by "raising awareness", and are quite content with doing nothing more than flapping their jaws. I'm not quite sure anyone, including the vast majority of...

    Who wouldathunkit. I'm a conservative! Question. What the hell does the OP have to do with the Socratic Method?

    Capitalism at Work

    This is the very problem I have with capitalism. It depends on the bad side of human nature, and thus it fuels and encourages it. Therefore, in places in the world where big business is in control, the people are exploited. And once we lose control of it in our own country, it will come back and...

    How 'bout that electoral college?

    Aww come on. One of the reasons why we have gun rights is to have a sufficient militia and the capability to resist the state. That is to say, if we the people don't like the way things are run, then we ought to be able to change it. As such, if it turns out that the people don't like systems...

    Which political party could most correctly be called "The Party of God"?

    Wait. God supports one of these parties? Man, as if I don't already have enough reason to dislike the Christian God. (as an agnostic, I abstained)

    But Is Anyone Better?

    We shouldn't allow it at all.. But do we really have enough say in the decision-making process to prevent it? I think much of the corruption has to do with big businesses. That isn't to say that more socialist systems aren't capable of corruption, no, but the trick here, in our society, I...

    How 'bout that electoral college?

    I figured it might be interesting to see how people view the electoral college.

    Home Schooling Trumps Political Correctness Once Again!

    Oh yes, it has become amazingly thought-provoking. I think MachZer0 has showed me the light: I hate white people, even though I am one myself. I never indicated that it is not dangerous. I simply said that racism towards blacks is more dangerous than racism towards whites because the vast...

    Home Schooling Trumps Political Correctness Once Again!

    It's irrelevant because we aren't talking about black rappers, we're talking about racism and other malicious beliefs being taught in home-schools. Because we aren't talking about them. That's not what the article was about. We don't even know what system educated the black rappers, whether...

    Home Schooling Trumps Political Correctness Once Again!

    It's not interesting at all that he singled them out. It's irrelevant. If we were talking about racist black rappers, would you expect us to mention these girls? No I didn't. Why would I do that? I'm white myself. I simply said that racism against blacks is more dangerous for society...

    Home Schooling Trumps Political Correctness Once Again!

    They aren't in the topic because they are irrelevant. Are you jumping to the conclusion that he must condone the racism in rap music just because he doesn't mention it? That is a fallacy. This topic isn't about racism--all of us here (I hope) know that racism is wrong. It mostly deals with...

    Home Schooling Trumps Political Correctness Once Again!

    How do you know he's even "singling" them out? Just because racist black rappers aren't mentioned in the topic does not mean he's implying that they are okay. And on another note, racism towards white people is far less harmful in this society than racism towards black people, because seeing...
