It appears that you have committed the fallacy of composition here. The claim that Jobs and Stallaman have some similar characteristics is not the same as saying that they are the same. For example, you can objectively say that Hitler was a

But, if, for each class of worker, there is income equalization, you will find that large companies tend to have an equalizing affect rather than an unequalizing affect. In this example, it's not interesting that bosses get paid more than w

It is good to take care not to create a false dilemma. Of course the government is not the only actor that can, or should, address moral problems. As I understand libertarianism, they are not at all against solving issues of poverty or hung

Making a general statement about American culture, which I did, doesn't, necessarily, say anything about the details of the culture. As you suggest, and as I've also generally observed, among the Asian Americans that I've met, they tend to

I have never read, heard or observed that any race is, intrinsically, intellectually superior to another. Give this, your comment isn't interesting. Now, I have read, heard and observed that Asians tend to have a different cultural emphasis

Discriminate involves distinction or differentiation. Given this, whenever an uneven distribution exists, some kind of discrimination or bias has occurred. Of course this does not demand that the discrimination was bad, it's just the defini
