Re: Should obese people be allowed to have or raise children?
ALLOWED??? What kind of state are you running? How would it be if, instead of getting on the case of poor, anxious and ignorant people, government did its proper work: regulating industry to produce wholesome food; keeping false advertisements off the air, bulking up the public education system and ...

Re: The Total Equality Paradox
1. If a mother cares for each distinct child equally she is not equally treating them given each child has specific needs that differ per child. Not at all. Yet again, you are confusing equality [in the context of the "connection of two or more distinct things through an underlying quality&quo...

Re: The Total Equality Paradox
equality is the connection of two or more distinct things through an underlying quality both x and y share. That's it. There is no paradox in the statement x=y in the context of ----- A mother cares for all of her children equally. Oranges are $.50 a piece. All restaurants must abide by the same he...

Re: What is Freedom?
It's a concept imagined by humans, variously defined by humans, supposedly desired by humans, never fully attained. There can be partial and limited freedoms of, from and to but nobody is absolutely free of social constraint or self-limitation, even if they can be free of physical restraint, legal c...

Re: Veganism.
And vegetables would be dreadful without the fertilizer that animals supply, and we would be forced to make more chemical fertilisers. Animals form part of a natural cycle which utilises grass into the food chain. If you are unwilling to reduce the earth's population then we are going to be forced ...

Re: Veganism.

To manage and modulate one's behavior there is no compromise for in depth knowledge of our what we are made up and the mechanisms involved internally, at least to the extent for processes that are pertinent and relevant to ordinary life. Nonsense! (pretentious nonsense) Many a factory worker has a ...
