    No, socialism isn’t bondage to a government. Pay attention.

    70% of Millennials say they are likely to vote socialist

    People make that claim because that’s what would be the case in a socialist context. That doesn’t mean it’s ever been successfully implemented (at least not on a national scale), just that that’s one of the principles it’s based on. Because for socialists, things aren’t about what one can do...

    70% of Millennials say they are likely to vote socialist

    I honestly don’t know. Except that in a socialist context, if those two guys employ, say, one hundred other people, there are now 102 people who own and control the means of production. This sounds less like capitalism and more like...well, socialism.

    Odd thing is, the definitions you link to don’t say anything remotely like what you just said there. Not that I’d necessarily call the definitions you link to 100% accurate, but they’re closer than what you’ve said. Socialism, as I understand it, is essentially an economic system where the...

    If I thought that was what socialism was, I probably wouldn't be a socialist either. Fortunately, that's not what socialism is.

    Super interesting survey on gender equality and perceptions concerning reporductive rights

    My wife and I are very much committed feminists, and what you’ve just said is complete gibberish! Feminism does not, in any way, turn women against the men in their lives. If it did, then my wife would be against me. And she’s not...

    Philly Catholic foster agency loses appeal to discriminate against gay people

    But you just said that it’s relevant to their ability to be good adoptive parents. And you’ve already said that you don’t think it’s in the child’s best interests to be adopted or fostered by a same sex couple. So why don’t you think it’s in the child’s best interests?

    Philly Catholic foster agency loses appeal to discriminate against gay people

    Okay then - in what way does a couple’s presumed sexual activities impact their ability to be good adoptive parents?

    Philly Catholic foster agency loses appeal to discriminate against gay people

    Right. But is that relevant to their ability to be good adoptive parents?

    Philly Catholic foster agency loses appeal to discriminate against gay people

    Prospective foster parents/adopteivd parents will be asked about their sex lives in an assessment interview? Don’t you think that sounds a wee bit, um, prurient..?
