    Trinkledown theory- A failing theory?

    I would have agreed with you about 2 years ago, but as I have studied more and more the world economy, this hand-off policy doesn't benefit the society as a whole.

    Trinkledown theory- A failing theory?

    I have already taken my business ethics class, and 2 other ethics classes on top of that. Although it may be unethical in the views of the american worker, in the shoes of a CEO, I think is ethical. I am taking one job away to make 5, and I am keeping the shareholders happy. This is not just the...

    Trinkledown theory- A failing theory?

Now if I had a bunch loads of money, this new earned money, I will try to invest it. Lets say I am a toy maker for some large...

    Evolutionists: Which came first?

    A wild redditor appears! Haha so you are the creator of this ingenious masterpiece. I love that image, it helps me explain to people the difference between macro and micro evolution. When I posted it above, I was like 'why does the background match perfectly onto the forum's background?". A...

    Evolutionists: Which came first?

    I would say the egg. But the hardening of the shell probably was already carried on from million years before. You already had eggs from millions of years prior, so the hard shelled egg existed long time before the chicken came in. Now if you are talking about the chicken egg, you first need...

    Republican Party Platform of 1956

    If it was 1956, I would have probably be a republican instead of a left-leaning moderate.

    Obama's Gulf Oil Spill

    I am simply saying that following strictly the conservative philosophy, Obama is doing the correct thing by leaving their 'hands off' BP. Let them fix it, if they can't, they can't ask for help. The reason I am saying this is because the GOP party is using this disaster as a political tool...

    Barack Obama favored blacks over whites

    Clearly there is no way to make a rational conversation with you. You dismiss the other sides arguments by your own extreme bias and dislike towards Obama. This clouds any other argument against your reality. There is no discussion here. I will try my hardest to avoid your posts from this...

    Challenge: What is Communist in the US?

    Why is communism so bad? Its just another political ideology. Seems like communism now is like calling someone a satanist. The only reason I see that we hate communism is because Russia was communist, and because they liked it, we must hate it. Its like two brothers disliking the others likes...

    Obama's Gulf Oil Spill

    Let me get this straight: Conservatives are laissez faire. In the ideal free-market system, we let corporations run with no economic regulations. If they fail, they fail. If they succeed, they succeed. Now this oil spill is not a disaster caused by mother nature like katrina, it was caused by...

    Barack Obama favored blacks over whites

    I don't see any connection with Obama at all. Seems like the hivemind is geared towards anything that democrats do, or is bad for republicans, equals Obamas fault. No connection needed, or logic, just point the arrows mindlessly.

    What would be YOUR ideas for "sensible" Gun Control laws?

    Not quite. I think we should restrict any (multiple kill if you will) devices. Like nukes, rpg's, tanks, f-22, mines...etc. Anything capable of killing masses. A sniper rifle is ok, because you can kill a few specific targets, without killing any innocent civilians. So 'target specific' weapons...

    It is socialist, but all I was saying is that, thats the only socialist program I disagree with, subjective opinion.

    What would be YOUR ideas for "sensible" Gun Control laws?

    I am a civil libertarian on these issues. I think we should focus more on gun safety than gun control. We should make people take classes educating themselves on gun safety, just like you need to pass a driving test before you go out and drive with the rest of us. There should be an age...
