There are plenty who do. But I notice that the Davos Socialists aren't among them. What is this 'Davos' conspiracy? Not a "conspiracy." It's a public fact. See https://www.weforum.org/events/the-davos-agenda-2021 Note that the current dictator of China is one of their charter members. Oh,...you mea...

Capitalists have no compassion. Funny. Socialism has spread misery and oppression across the world. Capitalism, meanwhile, has been defeating world poverty. And you say it's the Capitalists who are the bad people? I'll stack up my microenterprise charities against your Stalins and Maos any day. :D ...

We need SOME minimal means of personal private space as our 'own'. The Earth (including private spaces) though is not 'owned' by anything. It is an artificial construct. Without 'laws' or 'direct force', what is owned beyond one's literal own body and acts they use to survive, means that a claim is ...

...if 'ownership' matters, our system is 'owned' by the Queen. Hogwash. :D You can't "own" people. And the Queen gave up her official governmental role long ago, even in England. Nowadays the "monarch" only signs whatever is given her by parliament, and doesn't do it for Canada anymore at all. Get ...

The first thing noticeable of those with such compassion will be those who give away their wealth. There are plenty who do. But I notice that the Davos Socialists aren't among them. What is this 'Davos' conspiracy? Is this something you got from QAnon? You already dissed those wealthy who support t...

I read that Julie Payette resigned from your Viroy/King/Queenship last month. I believe you'll find that Canada only has a queen as a figurehead...she actually has no real power. She's a kind of "Uncle Sam" figure, not a true head-of-state anymore. Canada is a Parliamentary Democracy, and the true ...

I don't really know why. They're not exemplars of Socialist economics. They're merely socialized elements totally dependent on a broadly Capitalistic system. As such, they make no argument for Socialist economics, because they're on life-support from Capitalism. As I stated, the UK and all other we...

Mental illnesses are cognitive or affective, in which mood affects decision making (I.e. logic). A mental illness that does not affect decision making could not even afflict a philosophical zombie. Logic-related mental illness is like pressure-related flat tire. If you want to talk about people who...

You’re right. I understand depression and mental illness differently than you. I see depression as a clinical diagnosis and mental illness as a cluster of clinical diagnoses. I thought that the Canadian Senate would be considering these things to be clinical entities, as I do, if they were consider...

I think that many of those who act out extreme have to be understood without bias to their perspectives. I agree, but we must remember that the perspective of the mentally impaired may be the result of altered decision making capabilities. We must take into account the situation where the disease l...

You are absolutely hopeless. I linked that Washington Post article that you completely ignored. That's because it's wrong. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html What you could try is to give the TERMS you think align to the following meanings: ...

That's because it's wrong. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html Two can play this game of yours: No that is 'wrong'. :?

For non-terminal mental or physical illnesses there should be no way for MAID to be applied. What can make a mental illness terminal is suicide. For people with no physical compromise there is no need for assistance with suicide. What about the cases I mentioned of those who act out to kill themsel...
