I do believe that Russia, when bullying other nations, is only trying to demonstrate what little power they have left. Unfortunately for them, Russia is not as serious a threat as it once was and national pride can take a pretty good hit. In fact, it...  [Read More]

...I don't suppose the fact that the writer's characters are totally dreamt-up unreal bits of fiction that exist only in our heads is of any relevance to this debate? This whole issue is just silly IMO. Fictional characters don't even exist for Pete...  [Read More]

So the issue is that we are playing God? On the one hand there are those who create things such as Sociolotron where teenage perverts can take part in a grotty little world where rape is encouraged (I swear I'm not making this up), something where th...  [Read More]

I believe this mirrors Pratchett's argument that we are not, in fact, homo sapiens, but rather, pan narrans. Huh. I just checked some wikipedia articles and read short stories by Pratchett. Thanks, this person really knows his stuff and helped me ou...  [Read More]

It's worth noting, however, that Google has taken a big step here turning something that was pure marvel of technology into a tool for social commentary. With that comes the need to start discriminating for bias, where before there was no need. So ho...  [Read More]

It's the other way around. Hierarchy begets racism because people are being categorized and labeled. Prehaps. I just thought that if it wasn't for the National Socialist racism, there would be no justification of the Third Reich hierachy, and hence...  [Read More]

And it is exactly that attitude that allowed the majority group, the whites, to dominate over the minority groups. The idea that the way you are is because of your mother and father is a tool used to keep the minority groups down. It is also psyholog...  [Read More]
