    News Egypt's Islamists warn giving women some rights could destroy society

    It makes me wonder why feminists and gays are so quick to defend Muslim immigrants. In regards to women I believe christian europeans were the first group to value their females over being a commodity. Christian europeans were the first to stop slavery and their repeated military...

    News Would a Meritocratic Republic Outperform Contemporary Democracies?

    This is correct. I often see people wrongly believing that disagreement on the part of the other party is a result of ignorance. People can be presented with the same information and come to different conclusions. If there was a way to test only the understanding of facts then I would support...

    News Possible misconceptions about Affirmative Action

    Not quite, Ashkenazi jews can be considered a genetically distinct group, at least according to wiki. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews Their evolution was looked at in a book I read called "The 10,000 year explosion". https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465020429/?tag=pfamazon01-20 Their...

    News Anonymous: Operation Last Resort.

    I'm curious what they will do too. I can't comment on this specifics but what he was charged with(according to what I have heard) was pretty ridiculous in terms of the jail time. In regards to government far more transparency is needed. I think the belief that citizens should trust...

    News Would a Meritocratic Republic Outperform Contemporary Democracies?

    At creation the voting system in America was different. You had to be a white male landowner to vote. For the landownership requirement, the idea was to make sure only people who had a vested interest in the country succeeding could influence it. I don't think it should be put into place...

    News Race War in America: LA's Compton at the Forefront

    Race relations since the 50s up until now have largely consisted of nonwhite populations demanding things and the white population largely saying "ok", this has resulted in relative peace. Since the white population is no longer the majority in many areas these groups have focused their...

    News Possible misconceptions about Affirmative Action

    Equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are two different things and even equality of opportunity doesn't mean everything is or should be equal, only that you will have a chance, some will have better chances then others. People who support AA want equality of outcome, this is...

    News Possible misconceptions about Affirmative Action

    When looking at the wording of the civil rights acts, one can only question how such wording got written into a law. Any type of standard will have a "Disparate impact" on some group, but apparently the only groups which matter are those which are not white and not male...

    News Professor claims Newton Ct massacre a hoax

    I'm not seeing the problem, it makes no sense to fire him unless you believe in firing people for believing stupid things outside of work. For private businesses I would say firing someone for what ever reason should be acceptable. FAL is a public university and given that, the personal...

    News FEinstein: Assault Weapons Ban Bill

    I'm going to need evidence showing less people own firearms. Not proportions but people total, I suspect the number is steadily riseing. In terms of total deaths, you already wrote it's not an issue statistically. Also you're equateing suicides and accidental discharges with homocides, they...

    News FEinstein: Assault Weapons Ban Bill

    If the second amendment was written with muskets in mind, doesn't that imply the first amendment was written with printing presses and no long range communication in mind? Your line of reasoning leads to the entire constitution being scrapped.

    News FEinstein: Assault Weapons Ban Bill

    I fundementally disagree with you, while handguns are designed to shoot people, shooting people is not inherently wrong depending on the situation. The rest of your post is a bit contradictory, if getting shot by someone isn't a problem then clearly there is no need for further gun...

    News FEinstein: Assault Weapons Ban Bill

    Can someone explain the basis of "hunting rifles" being used as the basis of what is or isn't acceptable to own? I don't hunt and I don't consider hunting the basis of gun ownership, they are two completely separate issues. Hunting is a sport/hobby and as such is nonvital. To associate the two...

    News FEinstein: Assault Weapons Ban Bill

    The reason to own a 30rd magazine is to be able to shoot more bullets. 10rd magazines aren't any more legitimate then 30rd in their use and both are pretty arbitrary numbers. It's true that 30rd are more effective but effectiveness doesn't imply something is bad to own. The vast majority of...
