Re: The Future of the 'The future of the..(if any)' title-me

(Incidentally, where do you get your idea that male sex drive is stronger than female? Evidence?). I would have thought that the sex industry, which caters mainly to men, was evidence in itself. But anyway: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cultural-animal/201012/the-reality-the-male-sex-drive O...

Re: The Future of the 'The future of the..(if any)' title-me

The commercialisation, and the normalisation, of this poisonous view (of woman as existing for man's purpose) will not change as long as some men continue to think of female sexuality as a commodity to be bought and sold. this assumes that the view that woman exists for man's purpose is bad. I don'...

Re: GAME ON!

Taking my first criticism of Murphy: his ignorance of a subject in which he claims expertise. A sovereign government with its own currency can always create all the money it needs in order to spend in exactly the same way that commercial banks can create money for lending, which is out of thin air ...

Re: GAME ON!

Taking my third point next: It is a recurring theme of this blog that the money that the government spends is not ‘taxpayer’s money’ but is instead money that is the government’s rightful, and sole, property. So, by implication, the government can take any amount of income or capital from any citiz...

Re: The Future of the 'The future of the..(if any)' title-me

What you seem determined to ignore is the centuries (millenia?) of male domination of women. Until this is addressed and redressed, there can be no realistic scenario of equals or equivalents. To pretend otherwise is analogous to the pretence, open to us as white males, that racism can be just forgo...

Re: GAME ON!

Can we benefit by making some distinctions? 1. Justice is not the same as law. What is 'legal' is a matter of interpretation of written-down laws; what is 'fair' is a matter of opinion. The distinction between justice and law in the context of taxation is (IMO) quite well expressed HERE "At its core...

Re: The Future of the 'The future of the..(if any)' title-me

All of your proposals would be fine and dandy, if not for one fact you mentioned but did not emphasise: the raising of boys to view women as instrumental; ie, not there for the value of their own lives, but for the benefits they bring to man's life. For many centuries, both boys and girls have been ...

Re: Immigration

We can do that best if our children are educated together, so that they learn to understand each other's culture and beliefs. Why should not all children learn a bit of Urdu, a few phrases of Arabic, a bit of Swahili or Xhosa, a few songs in Hebrew? Don't forget Non-belief, Secularism and of course...

Re: GAME ON!

People are tired of the kind of school-playground nonsense-politics we've been fed the last couple of decades, where every politician has to obey the Party's press enforcer, fearing that any disagreements will be met with breathless reports of 'revolt within the (name your party) ranks', and any (G...
