Protest, sure. Block? That's a very dangerous road to go down and I disagree with it. If some controversial talk is happening, and an opponent attempts to get the event shut down, then that represents an attack on the rights of the spe

If humans are hardwired to be averse to "millions of immigrants pouring into your home country," why is that? Presumably you're referring to that aversion being chosen by natural selection. That suggests that we're less

How many destitute people do you house in your own home? Why only that number and not more? If zero, why is that? What percentage of your income are you donating to support refugees? Why is that percentage not higher?

I for one support Curtis on this issue, but tend not to post here on the subject except under an alternate username. I do this because I do in fact fear the "social justice" crowd and their ability to mess with people and their ca

(apologies for posting on a new account for this; I don't feel safe discussing social-justice-related topics on accounts that can connect with my real-world persona) >If you said yes to any of these questions, you're a feminist
