It's not really rhetorical. People absolutely should not be subjected to bankruptcy in order to get adequate health care, but there's an aspect of personal responsibility that needs to be considered. In NZ we have ACC, ACC is a un

I wouldn't go as far as a tattoo - something closer to an allergy bracelet would be a less invasive solution. You also should consider the degraded skin of the elderly, the dangers of anaesthetising them, and the difficulty of putting

I got perma-banned from reddit for hate-speech. I simply argued that trans-activists argue in bad faith and regularly blur the lines on the definition of transphobic.

Things like the virgin mother (bare in mind, much like Peterson, I'm pulling this out of my arse). My take on that it is a perspective based subset of actuality; in the case of the mother (as opposed) to the wife, 'she' is me

His position regarding a lot of religious topics seems tainted by his personal beliefs. He makes frequent reference to judaeo-christian archetypes, which seems to me to grossly overstate the relevance of the belief systems. The fundamental

As a developer my job was less the typing and more the thinking about what I was going to write. I didn't stop thinking about the problems I was solving, even when I went to sleep. I frequently woke up having solved bugs that I hadn&#x

There was a similar argument for not improving the efficiency of software in general - why bother to improve the design if upgrading the underlying hardware can double performance without changing the software? It's not entirely invali

Time zones and expected levels of education are still significant factors. You generally don't want to be hiring people from regions with a substandard education system - and if they're in another time zone they can spend all nigh

This part just before's even crazier: The use of miraculin as a food additive was denied in 1974 by the [FDA]. It's been banned for 50 years for no legitimate reason.
