But also hot.

This is a ridiculous suggestion, LN. Firstly, if only the people currently using a service pay taxes for that service’s upkeep, then it is not a tax, but a fee. Secondly, you are advocating taking more money from parents rather than supporting them—a marvellous way to punish children and make...

Personally I think I’d rather avoid getting involved with someone who was lying to another partner about their relationship with me, primarily because that doesn’t sound like a very trustworthy person to have as a partner. If they’re willing to be dishonest with someone they...

In many countries, one doesn’t have to pay for abortion. [citation needed] Let’s be clear here: when we talk about making abortion harder or impossible to legally obtain, we are talking about the systematic violation of women’s bodily autonomy by the state. Just imagine for a moment that you...

God is good because God says God is good? How do we know we can trust God to be honest about God’s goodness? (Remember that at this stage of our reasoning, we don’t know God is good yet!) A moral compass that you claim God made! But you say that God made our ability to recognise goodness...

I think it should be considered by the couple, for sure, but not by the state.
