Why are you not a determinist when studying sociology? What gives you the idea that people are choosing things. Research related to neuroscience about how the brain effects people should be enough with the logic of understanding determinism

I'm asserting there is no choice. Depending on the life born into, one will lead to a certain path compared to a different life. Since everything depends on the birth, genetics, parent financial status, geographic location, and the cha

When you imply people are making choices compared to others. What evidence are you making your assertion from besides assuming people choose what happens in life. People are born with variables that factor into what path they’re forced to e

More like the life they're born into. I agree, I think people find products they daily use from a company, usually interpreted to all of the products should be affordable to them.

The US never claimed to be a free & open society. It’s just interpreted that way by people that don’t have any significant wealth. Everyone is created equal when it comes to the significance of the almighty capital.

Public transportation is good in Quebec. So much so that taking the license away for life would likely be better and specifically when it comes to residing in Quebec. Driving drunk is rarely a mistake and tremendously selfish to others.

Suggestion for the macOS menubar icon. Make the icon change colour to red when disconnected or the VPN is not in use. Maybe even a notification should be displayed.

This may be indeed true. Some say the construction is the fault of the city being old but I’ve seen the same street being worked on throughout the summer for two consecutive years. There is construction everywhere as well compared to other

I see that rhetoric get thrown around once in awhile and I wonder if people that use it in fact work in the healthcare field. Sure, we get anomalies in life but it doesn't make sense to oppose someone of their wish to die because of it

I’m not sure about that. A lot of friends from poor families that couldn’t get out are turning to suicide or the drugs that will lead them to it eventually. This era is likely the worse one for the poor.
