Honestly, reading that entire thing was exhausting. How obvious does it have to be before we change as a people.

You actually can't just 'vote' to change the public sector at your will. In fact very few things are Democratic in American government. The closest you could get would be voting for politicians who pinky-promise to try approv

We have many Democratic elements. We elect our Representatives, many times we elect our own laws, and we even indirectly elect businesses, voting with the wallet. But yes, generally speaking we live in a republic hybrid, for good reason.

I get the feeling we're going to have to reteach people about these kinds of problems, every so often. It seems like people just kind of forget that sweeping authoritative power and control isn't a good thing.

You said your phase as if the reason Chinese people don't have natural rights is because they don't live in a democracy, which is why I compared to US. Granted, we're much closer to democracy than them, but in a more strict s

In your case, the scientists were likely punished by wasted time, disqualifying otherwise correct science work, maybe even lost their jobs. How do you think they'd be punished in China under this system? Maybe they can't ride a tr

This is my thought Everytime someone defends increasing government power and authority. They always assume the government is going to act in good faith and never use the power in a harmful way. Almost as if they've never read a history

What if the government decides to force certain "facts" about whatever, and punishes truly honest scientists for getting too close to the truth?

America isn't a democracy, and you have natural born rights protected by the Constitution.

According to the first major source on Google, tipping was brought to America from Europe. Likewise, I don't think any other country but us has laws to subsidize wage for tips. Also, comparing mobile payments to credit cards isa weak c

I'll try to clarify some important reasons why tipping is bad: 1. It offsets labor cost to the generosity of customers, putting an employee's take-home in the hands of the customer. 2. This creates an interaction with the staff wh

As others have said, your #3 point is controversial, but potentially not as bad as they seem. This really depends on what resort/part of the world you are. My home mountain in Oregon is about 65% black diamond, and there's only on

You make great points, but none of them justify the practice. Don't you find it curious how the rest of the world can manage this situation without tipping?

(I think you have parent's assessment backwards, but): This exactly. When the minimum wage was created in the 30s, tipped workers were exempt if they could amass an identical wage from tips, a system some states still use. This is noth

I've looked into one-way package recieving devices before, and I think something would be best integrated into the person's home wall or door. A system like USPS mail drop boxes would be ideal.

I'm strongly against tipping, but I also don't need more reasons for Americans to dislike me, so I tip anyway.
