Re: The atheist fear of emotions
The Irony is, most of the Atheist Arguments I hear depend on Emotional Outrage. How many times have they told you hat the Christian Church has been responsible for a good number of atrocities? Crusades, Inquisitions, Witch trials, killing Heretics… all of that hinges on generating an Emotional reac...

Re: Objectivism
I can easily Imagine our Society becoming Feudal, though it takes generations for such a transition. All I have to do is look at how Feudalism emerged in the First Place. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire (The East didn’t Fall till 1453) the people need to organise a mean to protect themsel...

Re: Objectivism
Also, having not actually read "Looking Backwards", I looked it up. Reading the Synopsis, I'm not sure how my ideal society is like this at all. I wouldn't have Nationalised services, for instance. I certainly wouldn't have Equality given that I would need an Aristocracy to make my society work. The...

Re: Objectivism
Quantum, even the Middle Ages are a highly misunderstood time period. They weren't as bad as most think and often had Freedoms and Human Rights. besides, the last Feudal feifdom in History was Sark, which became a Democracy in 2007. They didn't become a Democracy because the peopel got tired of livi...

Re: Objectivism
To Metacrock- Of course Capitalism is closer to what I want as a NeoFeudalist, that’s why I find it laughably bizarre that when I tell people I want this they think I’m a Communist. As to the system being outdated, I don’t think any form of Government becomes outdated. it’s not like Modern Democracy...

Re: Objectivism
Thats why I think that both Socialism and Capitalism are remarkably horrible things to run a societ by. Capitalism works well in the Marketplace, and allows rhe consumer and the entrepeneur vast optiosn to grow their wealth or material goods and meet their needs, and is by far the single best system...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
Kane- Oh, I don't know if keeping the Crown was sensible. Why not? Its more sensible than letting Politicians hold supreme power and the top position. I know this is the age of Democracy and we’re all about “The will of the people” and all that but, I’ve told you in the past I see the idea of Democr...
