Good for you. For the most part I agree on the denial bit. Particularly when the "lived experience" is centuries of casual human trials.

1) Take a short break of at least a full day and do something you enjoy. Get some exercise and some fresh air if you can. 2) Mentally prepare yourself for the grind ahead. A lot of…

These behemoths are a major vertebrae in the backbone of the US economy. Without Equifax, Transunion, Experian and Dun & Bradstreet a huge portion of economic activity would come t…

Not all taxation is theft. However, taxation taken specifically from one person or group in order to benefit another is theft. Taxation for the purpose of maintaining the military,…

This kind of response tells me I've struck a nerve. I don't have these kinds of conversations because I want people to vote for conservatives in the upcoming elections. While I cer…

Laws are non-material by definition. You can't eat or touch the law of gravity for example. Using "caught up in a religion" or "means something different to every member" as a reas…

> I fail to see a distinction here. The government defines what is legal. I suppose one can appeal to some higher power as the source of all law or something idealistic like that, …

Well this whole thread is regarding whether or not someone ought to vote for a non-conservative government. So the first thing you could do to avoid such a situation is vote to ele…

Sharing is usually voluntary. If the government levied a 100% tax on your income and assets, kept the vast majority of it, and then redistributed you a year supply of beans, rice, …

How would electing a non-conservative government help?

The Federal government in the US is (on paper) extremely limited in comparison to other countries. The US constitution was written specifically to limit the potential for tyrannica…

I wonder how this will affect housing prices in the rest of the states. The bay area has a lot of people, if half of them migrate that's bound to have an effect.

The timing of the publication of this data is telling. The data is gathered from a total of 1018 total cases from 2017-2019. The CDC has also published totals of the national rates…

As @a-user-you-like has pointed out, your interpretation is a common misconception about what 'freedom of religion' means. The framers certainly did not mean that the laws passed b…

A significant amount of people aren't looking at this as an issue of metrics, convenience, economics, or anything of the sort. That's a utilitarian approach. The vast majority of p…

Your bias and the bias of the study you cited are painfully obvious and assume a particular point of view as valid while rejecting others. The whole concept of the study is framed …

> I don't think I've ever seen a clear separation of these things. That's really too bad. Maybe I'll write an article or something. > Also, I would like to thank you for taking the…

Sorry, but I will not elaborate.

All appeals to an ultimate authority are circular by nature. Its the philosophical equivalent of bedrock. That being said, you can understand Christianity and the Christian philoso…
