There is literally mountains of evidence that supports the theory of evolution being true. Anyone who knows anything about the very real phenomenon of antibiotics' diminishing returns based on observable demonstrations of germ theory and the threat of medicine resistant "super-bugs" is for...
Labour, hopefully. I want to vote Green (though I disagree with their "foreign policy"), but I feel like if I don't vote against the Tories, rather than for any particular party, because I'd feel like voting for any party that isn't the major Conservative foil would be an indirect vote for...
Cannabis can be legally purchased by citizens aged 16 and up. It gets a similar amount of criticism to cigarettes and other tobacco based products, albeit slightly less as those incidentally affected by second-hand spliff smoke are usually too mellow to bother doing anything about it.
Post-"quickening", abortion becomes very grey for me. After viability has been reached, I'd be able to call an abortion murder without any embarrassment. Ideally, I'd prefer to avoid ever having to be involved in one at all by practising protected sex and hoping for the best. But, for the ...
I'm amazed by how split the poll is. Anyway, I'm really not educated enough on the subject of sexual development to comment on whether or not people are born with particular or rigid sexual preferences. I can say however, that, for the overwhelming majority of non-heterosexual people, I find it high...
I think my ideal one world government would be a complete lack of one. An anarcho-syndacalist, stateless and internationalist society driven by fraternal solidarity. But, I think we're the wrong species for that. I would personally not want one global government as I think it would be too much power...
Interesting but on the other hand it's been said that this globalization movement is not only fueled by modern technology but also the developing world economy. Do you think in doing what you wish you might in someway be hamstringing at least half of this globalization effort? It's not about nation...
That does indeed already happen now. You can't blame a corporation for being competitive by reducing its production expenses, when the other corporations are going to be doing exactly the same to stay ahead. Yes wages and employment rights are utter shite in the countries corporations outsource pro...
Yes. Turns out that reduced trade barriers and rampant consumerism have done more to bring the world together than proletarian internationalism ever did. Disdainful as that might be to many people (including myself on some level). But , if we want anything that is even remotely close to the pipe dre...
...Who's going to bring down the most powerful standing army in the world with actual combat experience? I find it highly likely that the US military will still hold that position in a little under 90 years time and they will continue to get involved in conflicts because they are one of the few mili...
http://i.imgur.com/82ZPXr6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5M347CV.jpg Anyway, I imagine that the majority of us see it as "wrong" because we have an instinctive repulsion to the prospect of mating with our immediate family because producing offspring with them would not produce much diversity in ...
I believe that Market Socialism will be the transitory stage between Socialism and Capitalism. It is where a market economy of supply and demand still exists, but workers own the means of production. This is already being done through worker cooperatives. If I'm not mistaken, the UN estimated that ...
Well said comrade. :clap Though I would say Socialism is possible within the near future. Thanks! =B I'd like to think it's possible too. I think it would have to be worked towards with the reformist route, but a transition towards a more socialist model is not a hopelessly romantic notion. I think...
It was stillborn. Practically, it was never alive save for twitches here and there on a local scale during revolutionary periods, before it flatlined because it was smothered by the "vanguard" party to "protect" the revolution. Marxism, as a political theory, failed in practical ...
Both options are rather bleak, but, being selfish, considering the average life expectancy in Africa, the infant mortality rate and the general quality of life, I'd say rather bigotedly that 5 members of my family would be able to love fuller lives than 50 average Africans. Ideally, I'd rather not (...
The Anarcho-Syndacalist party, the National Workers' Union, is the second most popular political party in the DRB after the incumbent Free Labour Party. Baiyns, for the most part, like initiatives built upon fraternal solidarity and individuality. The old Anarchist slogans, such as, "No gods, n...
Yet does the French government get 160 million pounds in pure profit from Versailles? And when was the last time a monarch went against the will of Parliament? The royal prerogative is a power that has not been asserted in many years and is really just an act to keep the cultural significance of th...
The palace at Versailles gets several million visitors per year and the French lopped off Louis XVI's head centuries ago. Also, despite what many people think, the Privy Council and the Royal Prerogative are two very real aspects of non-democratic power that the monarchy still has (and actively make...
Yes, but it has to be upheld and defended in fairly non-liberal ways. While the forces of anti-democratic and reactionary barbarism are prepared to attack free and pluralistic society with violence, we must be prepared to meet them with more efficient and lethal violent force. "We sleep safely...
