WWII had a compulsory draft where it was already established by then that congress had the power to initiate a draft. It was also hashed out that it was a federal issue and not a state one. Which we all know is hot garbage. The government q

Abusive MEN in particular. Especially radical christians where divorce is stigmatized. It's like they take it as a free pass to just be hateful person. Honestly my dad more than anything made marriage seem worse than it could be that I

I totally agree and don't think I'm idolizing the past. It's just a different world today and the culture has not caught up with reality.

That is probably the one part of the article they really should've made more prominent. Yet they didn't. They hammered it home that videogames and young men not getting married and having 12 kids is the problem. Maybe culturally g

You know, it'd be nice if they'd look at the cultural aspects of gaming as opposed to just assuming all videogames are bad. It's like being in the 1920's criticizing someone spending time reading as opposed to working in

This is what I do and I 100% agree about lazy people that aren't willing to make a halfway decent website. I'm not that old, but sometimes I just want a website with text. I don't need autoplaying videos with a billion slides

First off, please don't take anything I'm saying out of context which is in terms of regular people that make enough to pay their bills. Lower income types struggle with these things so I wholly recognize they're in a differe

How about ban lawns in general? Their entire inception was devised because the bourgeoisie could flaunt the fact that they could afford to have land not be in use for food production. Yet the apologists in my area of people who just chant t

So what. Just because you send a retraction doesn't justify it or make the apology any better. That sounds like they allow some people too much freedom as if they ran this business in their parents garage.

Use noscript. It's possibly one of the best add-ons out there now.

I can jump in on this bandwagon a bit. A cop, not on active duty at the time, took a retired German Shepard police dog as a pet. He lived near a college and had his dog running around in his backyard. An event was going on at the college so

But like I said about how these wide sweeping reforms, they create instability and also famine. The reason it ended up being good (as your link also shows) was due to land consolidation. Millions of independent farmers does not create a foo

I 100% agree about Sam Harris in particular. I really do enjoy listening to his podcast, but anytime I hear him discuss AI I want to shut him off. He's a neuroscientist/philosopher, not a programmer. I mean it honestly grinds my g

Free will is something you have the power to act on, regardless of external influences. Just because the fear of punishment exists doesn't mean that a person cannot opt out. It's the same thing as if an officer during war told you

I guess I was coming from the philosophy of why it's bad on a liberalism mindset. I totally get why it's good for a governing body to assume control.

I mean we could hash out all hypothetical all day. I'm just saying that the needs of the economy would shift to that where a PhD basically becomes the new High School Diploma. In essence, entry level jobs would be stuff that today woul

>NO taxes till $40k-50k for a family You're talking about quite literally like 80% of the entire tax revenue generated by the government. Income taxes we're devised because an industrial nation cannot collect property taxes on

Aren't there studies that show the suicide rate among married men is drastically lower than unmarried men? I really don't think it has anything to do with income (or at least to a significant degree) than it does with loneliness.

Does Europe (more or less as whole) have a philosophy that rental properties are a regulated enterprise that is solely to be managed by a established company? I mean I really do like the idea but I've heard of incredibly long waiting l

Isn't like 90% of the homeless population people with a significant mental illness that they cannot provide for themselves? That's because the normal competent people don't remain homeless long and just need short term tempor

Chinese emperors have done this type of land reform innumerable times and it has always ended up in famine and disaster/regime change. Land consolidation became a thing (as it inevitably does) and baron landlords became commonplace as

I personally believe a lot of that stuff cannot be further studied unless we are able to divert solutions to other problems in our society first. I'm saying that we need to have things like mass quantity sustainable energy, significant

A surveillance state wouldn't be such a burden if the rights we had actually could be enforced on the spot the moment they were infringed by a police force. The fact that you can be imprisoned (borderline indefinitely it seems at times

As an American, police in Europe seem to be more like "Beat you with a stick but keep you out of jail type" and treat citizens in a rational way according to how the industrial world works (as well as protecting workers from losin

And also throw you in jail and keep you there indefinitely regardless of evidence of you committing a crime.

Yeah that was the thing I was most impressed with too. Cops in the US generally don't know anything and they are unsympathetic to any perfectly sound and rational expertise you have simply because they don't know...and frankly don
