It definitely is. Science doesn't tell people what to do. But science is sometimes used to legitimise otherwise illegitimate concepts and ideas. I don't believe religion is inherently bad. The Christian God has a chequered past, surely, but now - following 2000 years of evolution - the Christian...

Try Blockbuster.

I assume that your comment is to be understood in the context of the political climate in the US. I am Danish, so I don't want to make too many assumptions about the issues you raise. What are you refering to, specifically? I have an abnormal interest in politics and economics and I'm studying a...

Interesting debate lads. Somewhat sober as well. Much appreciated. Is Christianity especially conducive of democracy? Well, insofar as it promotes tolerance and equality. At least, that's what I take from Francis Fukuyama's book The end of History and the Last Man. He writes: "[...] there is...

I really want to post some random jibber jabber but then again, I don't want to intrude. At this point I'm too afraid to ask. I was considering something sarcastic like 'get a room' but then again - it does have faux pas written all over it. So...

Of course, Adam Smith had a lot of...

Pardon me, but you ought to have used a colon, rather than a full stop: "Here is your cure: Fuck off." I honestly do not believe that people visit the RIU politics forum to grow weed. This is evidenced by the fact that I have looked over the politics forum several times and found no traces of...

Hello lads and lassies! I was expecting a somewhat proper debate on the politics forum. I was horribly wrong. I find it odd that no moderators seem to take action. I mean, so far 80 per cent of this thread is utter bullshit; useless in any concievable way. If you really want to have a...

I wasn't aware that he did philosophy. Interesting though...

Indeed. I'd marry that thing!

Hey, Marvin. Are you trying to use proper punctuation, or are you simply against legible writing?
