They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You don't think ideology can persuade people to act in a manner other than their rational self-interest?

You think a positive answer to that question follows naturally from my previous statement?

Do you think that he thinks that a positive answer to his question follows from your original statement?

Maybe.  What do you think?

As for Freud (again), you will have an easier time getting a degree in anime then you would in Psycho-history.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

"Freud/Marx is discredited."

Marx is totally and utterly discredited.  You can either provide incentives to people to perform work or you can coerce it.  It definitely doesn't spring from class solidarity and revolutionary fervor.

The worst part about Marxism isn't the countries they destroy.  If a people want to hamper themselves by trying Marxist doctrines, I really don't care.  What I hate is the terrible effect it has had on history books.  I might accidentally read one of those!

Bestiality, polygamy, incest and cannibalism are bad enough that they should be illegal.

Bestiality without consent is rape.

This is a thread to post nominations for a vote for the most overrated modern day's dogma - an "evident truth" or an ideological position that hardly anyone ever challenges anymore.

My nomination: the self-determination of nations. Case in point: Africa and Quebec.
Nations in general.

Nope. Just hate the look. Takes away all the curves.
