From the study: "Owner survey responses are susceptible to rater bias, including the influence of breed stereotypes." That's all I could find acknowledging that this bias exists. I'm inclined to believe they know this ty

This may be a naive take, but it's something I've thought about a fair bit. What if the USA had taken half its military budget over the last 20 or 30 years, a huge amount, and used that money to do good works around the world? Wou

> The fact you think I am trying to say homosexuality is the same as death is quite telling isn't it? I didn't say that. I said you compared them. You did so again in this comment, again putting them on the same level as taboo

The fact that you're comparing homosexuality to a death in the family really drives this home, doesn't it? If someone is okay with being out (like a married-with-children couple) then it's okay to acknowledge they are gay. Ju

1. Acknowledging that a married-with-children couple is gay is "gossip?" 2. You want to ban gossip? Both of those are nonsense. And neither address my point. The bill is vague on purpose, and the purpose is to scare teachers into

It is absolutely unclear. A teacher shouldn't have to risk legal action by saying "Timmy's parents are both men who love each other, and that's okay." This bill introduces that risk because the teacher doesn't

I find the argument that religion is required to understand and practice morality doesn't hold any water. In fact, I'd say religion makes it harder. Religion gives you a set of rules, and usually involves some horrible cosmic puni

Sure, it's not really monopolistic, but there's definitely a trend towards concentration. Think about the number of unique farmland owners as a percentage of population, compared to 50, 100, or 200 years ago.

Exactly. Can you demand to be broadcast by your local TV station? Can you demand that your letter be published by your newspaper? The right to a platform has never been guaranteed. The only difference is that with social media, your message

Those are at worst unsubstantiated, and contain truth like how Russia interfered in the election and Trump's campaign accepted their help. Totally different than something like "the election was rigged", which was tested and

You're right - if you don't plan at all and just give everyone 2k per month, it's too expensive. In the strictest sense, UBI is impossible. In most versions of the plan I've seen, the cost is not as simple as (population

This version of UBI (granted, without the U), would cost $43B [0]. I'm guessing what would actually be implemented would cost more, but $720B is certainly too high. Your post doesn't mention: - Savings from scrapping other welfare
