This entry was pure nonsense.

Which would you rather be: someone who lives in prison for 100 years, or someone who lives free for 50 years?

Longevity has not nearly as much to do with "flourishing" as you make it to be.

"If you’re privately funded, you should be free to do as you like. Want to discriminate? Fine. Just don’t take tax money to do it."

Neo-liberalist bullshit. As long as you're not public, you can be totally unaccountable and exploit whole societies as much as you want, as long as you don't "take tax money" (but you can lobby for new laws, secretely contract with foreign governments, buy slave labour, and so on).

"And… if you support discrimination laws that touch purely private interactions and that benefit yourself, then you can hardly complain when others want those same benefits for their groups, too."

Hey, what about the discrimination made against unmarried people by marriage laws? How come gays shut up about that? Could it be because they want the money pot?

"I hope this kind of ?studies? is not the only goal of its creator : it?s funny to sleep on a 1,200,000 euros bed when childrens die of hunger in the streets !"

A million euros will not get those government removed, but it will at least buy you a bed. I say that's a good deal.

I still can't believe this is not a joke.

Meteorologists have zero to do with the debate on global warming. It is a purely economic debate.

This is ridiculous- didn't you realize how easy your example is to refute? If one of them opens a business and the others don't, obviously the one who does is NOT equal to the others. He has more desire for entrepreneurship!

Brad that sounds like a great idea!

Yea, that's all well and good to say now, but the State merely forbade what it first permitted.

Re: Separation of Procedures

Hey, how about a simple separation of justice and State? Like it used to be before the monarchies took over the court system to favour their rich friends? Just an idea out of left field here...

"That said, the existence of leaders who did make big differences--both for good and ill--demonstrates the validity of the Bush outlook. People like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Churchill, Lincoln, Thatcher, Reagan....

So basically they are all immoral assholes. Well, I guess that proves something, but perhaps not what he meant...
