    Fairness, Idealism and other atrocities

    Conversely, working to redistribute your neighbour's possessions is motivated by desire, envy, greed. His point is that it's a good principle for society. You can think jealous thoughts (how could you ever stop that) all you like, but to let those influence politics (ie. ro the notion of...

    Australain troops begin Iraq withdrawl

    What was wrong with Australian troops in Iraq? I don't do much reading on the subject, however what I did pick up was that they were a good counterpoint and mediator to the American troops in Iraqi eyes (I think this was from an SMH article on an Australian commander), because the Americans...

    Nuclear Iran

    Iran says it does not recognise Israel. Iran has also funded terrorism. The same terrorists who also don't recognise it, and actively seeks out its destruction. Iran is going to, if this is allowed to happen, bomb the fuck out of Israel. Duh.

    The ultimate debate on democracy, liberty and freedom.

    Sure, these things happen from time to time. However, I'm of the opinion that companies can only lie to people for so long, that they ultimately get what's coming for them if they release an inferior drug. I mean, evidently you yourself are aware of the fact that some big pharmaceuticals 'cheat'...

    The ultimate debate on democracy, liberty and freedom.

    Suppose a company finally manufactures a cure for cancer today, having spent billions of dollars, years of effort in research and development. The drug, instead of being freely traded from day one, is instead directed through the paper maze of the Food and Drug Administration, whereupon...

    Depends on what you mean by fucked over. The Red Cross was founded in America at a time when capitalism was barely restricted at all. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated 1.4 billion dollars towards AIDS, malaria and other preventable disease treatment, which happens to be over a...

    Islam: Religion of peace, love, compassion, tolerance – proof inside

    Umm, did you even see the video I linked to? That was my entire point. When I heard that other Arabs killed more Palestinians in one month than Israel ever did I was amazed, considering how much slack they get in the media. Wow, George Bush's speech over a 9/11 slideshow? How...

    Islam: Religion of peace, love, compassion, tolerance – proof inside

    Click here for essential viewing of Islamic learnings. It appears a moderator took this thread down earlier. I, for one, want to know why. For once this is a firsthand account from an actual victim of Islamic terror, who also happens to be a fluent intellectual. As opposed to a Noam...
