The left's support for Islam directly marginalizes minorities within Islamic countries as well as women and gays fighting for their rights there.

I've never really understood this argument. If criminals have no free will, prosecutors have no free will in prosecuting them either, and jurors have no free will in pronouncing them guilty and so on. Nobody has any free will in the ma

If you look at it in terms of storage and depending on how you define 'porn' even sites like Google or Bing Images may be in trouble.

Don't underestimate the amount of lobbying the alcohol industry does to make it seem like always having a drink is the best and only way to wind down and have fun.

The problem with this statement is people are individuals, and murder, thankfully, is still a rare event. You might as well claim, white people hate serial killers, but still per capita, have more serial killers than almost anyone else.

The thing is in the US driving is essential to having any sort of life for the most part leaving tiny enclaves like NYC aside. And freedom is an important part of US ethos. Autonomous cars as long as they are better than humans would be acc

The virus vector doesn't implant in the bone marrow. Hemophilia is caused by deficiency of Factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or Factor IX (Hemophilia B). The factor is produced in the liver and they use a virus that specifically targets the l

This is a somewhat disingenuous way of looking at it. The dating game, over men and women is either win-win or lose-lose. What the article is saying is that women in their 30s and above are losing but missing out on the reality that at the

I think the speed limits are more for the benefit of riders than for things they collide with.

Polyamory is fairly rare in human societies, the link you pasted talks about polygamy. Polygyny has been practiced in a few societies and the numbers would be too few to conclude anything.

In India, I can get almost any blood test with no requirement to get a prescription. The phlebotomist will even come home to collect the blood sample. The prices are fairly reasonable and most tests will be under $20.

As someone who grew up similar to you, I now realize the advantages of aggression. A few friends of mine took up coaching in boxing or MMA and the difference in confidence and dealing with completely unrelated situtations was visible. They

I once had something not delivered properly and when local reps (India) were useless I emailed Bezos directly. I had a message shortly from an Amazon staff saying Bezos asked them to look into it and the issue was fixed promptly. This was i

Its mostly taxes and duties, though Apple products are generically costlier in India. When Apple used to charge for OS updates, if you paid in Indian Rupees it would be somewhat more expensive than you would expect for exchange rate conside

This is simply false. E.g., my kid is around speakers of 4 rather different languages. At age 3, he has grasped all 4 languages to a good degree and even translates pretty well between them. I don't think he's particularly unusual

The reason is that bi men round off to gay whereas bi women round off to straight. Bi women are even sought after by straight men so even women who aren't bi will sometimes claim to be, there is really no such equivalence to bi men. Th

In India, dangerous stuff often pays less due to caste and other considerations. Manual sewage cleaners have a really high death rate in India and are paid peanuts.
