Excellent post. If you think bestiality should be illegal, then logically you should also agree that killing animals for food should be illegal and should have similar penalties. Before some idiot says "but we need to eat animals," this is 100% untrue. Humans can get all of their nutritional...

I guess a private school does have such a right. Public schools shouldn't exist, but given that they do, unfortunately it becomes a question of public policy. Public schools should not be wasting their already stretched resources on this, nor should they be punishing students for things that...

If you love the World Cup so much, pay the air fare to go wherever it is hosted yourself. I don't give a fuck about the World Cup, why should I be forced to pay for it?

Im not saying its not serious, Im saying that this is not a solution. How about you answer the questions I posed, cause guess what, we don't have unlimited time and resources to spend dealing with cyber bullying, and what actually crosses the line is extremely subjective and difficult to...

Being emotionally hurt is extremely subjective. If we are to say people have a right to not have their feelings hurt online (when browsing sites they can easily just close if they don't like) we can start to ban all sorts of things. I prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to...

incentivations logic 1. People are stupid. 2. People need a government to regulate them. 3. People elect the government. Since people are stupid, won't they make stupid decisions when electing the government, and therefore the government will only use its powers to re-enforce stupid ideas.

Notice I just said webpages, not websites. For instance, if someone is bullying you on facebook, you don't have to stop using facebook, just don't go to their page, or block and delete them.

No. The idea that it could be hosted here without government funding is impossible. Even if it would provide a net gain to the economy (which I highly doubt) I would still oppose it because it unfairly and arbitrarily creates winners and losers.

Excellent point.

If someone is bullying you at school there is very little you can do to avoid being victimized. You are trapped in the school grounds with them. If someone is bullying you via the internet, just block them and/or don't visit the applicable web pages. Easily solved. It is not up to schools or...

Perhaps a system where drivers who demonstrate higher levels of skill and training are permitted to drive faster would work better. There so many alternative systems that we could experiment with and then we can see what works best. If we allow different systems to compete, in the FREE...

First of all, he hasn't even established correlation. He simply asserted that regulations have been tightened over the period. It can be explained by better driver training and education and by people become more conscientious (the exact opposite of what he asserts about people). People are...

Climate change is getting boring. We need something new to be afraid of.

Yeah I don't really read what you say.

I always go for smokers, they are more likely to be slutty. Remember kids; if she smokes, she pokes.

I agree. The whole idea that certain governments can provide much better public services with the same resources just by "streamlining" and shit is a bit of a joke. This lot are pretty bad, but don't expect anything more than a marginal, temporary improvement when the liberals get in.

correlation /= causation

9/11 was a terrorist attack. The US government may have been complicit to some degree but that is pure speculation. The most likely explaination is that the government was simply incompetent and that a bunch of muslims attacked America because they were pissed off that America as been in their...

Of course it works both ways. The attacks on America were absolutely deplorable. No one was condoning them. What's your point?

We can observe the government consistently doing harmful things. God cannot be observed at all. What is wrong with being adamant that violence is wrong? That's all I'm saying when I oppose the government, since the governments existence depends on violence and threats of violence.
