Uhhh... no.

Who holds this position? Or are you seriously saying you do?

Why are you calling it murder? How does this situation regardless of the choice made qualify the choice as murder?

Conservative writer David French explains how the Alt Right abuses the Conservative Never Trumpers: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/441319/donald-trump-alt-right-internet-abuse-never-trump-movement

I'm beginning to think Trump is the one on drugs... the wacko kind.

I was going to vote for Trump to keep Hillary out but that was months ago. I can't do that now. I know now what Nicky has known all along. He's a disaster in the making if he's elected. Vote for Johnson if Hillary is unacceptable to you or don't vote.

FYI I'm not Asian nor are my parents. Asian tiger parents are reacting to what is, for better or worse, a hypercompetitive environment. They're doing what they think is going to prepare their kids to succeed in that environment. How is that different from Objectivism? What do you think Objectivism is teaching you to do that's the same? I don't understand. One respondent in this thread already told you that he limits himself to 30 hours of work a week on principle and no one I know who follows Objectivist principles generally is experiencing the kind of problems you claim below. They did what my parents did, and now I'm a broken man with chronic health problems at a considerably young age, and I'm not even close to being the only one. So what do I do now according to Objectivism? Just go kill myself so I'm not a "burden on others"? You can start by not asking us if you should kill yourself because that is absurd. Did you honestly think someone here thought you should?? And if so, why?? Because you are a burden to us? Do you think we are experiencing your burdens now? We don't even know you. On others who forced their burdens onto me during my earlier years, turning me into what I am today? By all means, go to your parents and protest what they did to you if you want (not that this will necessarily help you). Ask them to compensate you for your losses and see what happens. Get a lawyer and sue them. I don't care. Just don't blame us for your issues.

Several people in this thread have been asking you for the evidence that collectivist or tribalist thinking is hardwired and you have yet to cite even one piece of concrete data to support this claim outside of saying that every professor you know believes it. Why do they believe it? What's their evidence?

Yes, after reading the entire article and the comments I got the same impression. I admit to being a bit careless linking that particular article on the subject. Here is a more mainstream article from July: Wolf whistling to become a hate crime: Nottinghamshire police cracks down on misogyny

Ok, here's one for you. England Set To Ban Talking To Women as "Misogynist Hate Crime"

You are catching on. They are being collectivist in their own way. Don't you think they learned that from somewhere? I mean no one is born thinking "I'm (fill in the blank with a race) therefore we need (fill in the blank with a color) group rights!"

Does a gene cause them to accept this or did they observe reality and draw a conclusion? I'm confused. By the way, just about everybody else accepts that there is a God but let me guess, there's a gene for that one too.

This seems to speak for itself.

Ok but what I and others are having trouble with is the claim that an alien crossing the border of my country without the knowledge or permission of my government is an initiation of force against me and other citizens. How is it an initiation of force? What action does his entry prevent me from taking that you think I had a right to take?

It isn't obvious. It's only obvious when someone is convicted (and even then mistakes are possible). What I wonder is what's the difference between an American and an illegal immigrant that one gets to be here and the other doesn't by law. What's the distinguishing characteristic that makes it legal and right for the American to be inside our borders but not the illegal alien.

Do you foresee any possible economic disaster if Trump initiates his promised trade war? What about Immigration? He seems adamant to keep out the Mexican and muslim "riff raff" but quite a lot of innocent immigrants and refugees will pay the price for that it seems.

Alex was interviewed yesterday. This video already has 37000 views.

How do you know it's the quality of the training and not simply bad cops acting badly? Also, keep in mind how the media reports on these incidents. They are not always honest or objective.

Those familiar with ARIwatch may have seen this: Fear and Loathing of Donald Trump and these: Contra Trump 1 Contra Trump, continued Have fun reading.

But what is deislamification and why is it necessary? I don't think it's proper to essentially make a religion illegal.

In a Huff Po piece dated 4/26, blogger Justin Curmi writes the following: Further down he also writes: The writer here is implying it is wrong to kill your attacker because he has a right to stand trial and cannot do so if he's dead. Of course one can kill one's attacker without a gun as well as with a gun so the gun part isn't really the issue here. If I'm defending myself, my first priority is my survival, not my attacker's survival. My attacker is the cause of the conflict so he has to be the responsible party in all ways. If he's killed, that's his fault, not mine. Agree or disagree? Secondly, how is a gun a useless tool of protection because some people will use them for horrible reasons? If I use a gun successfully to defend my life, the fact that another person somewhere used a gun to commit some crime is irrelevant.

I sort of get it here. If they advertise their cars as EPA compliant and they are not, the customer is, in that particular case, defrauded. You have to be very careful that you are not generalizing about pollution however. Sometimes a polluter is initiating force but not always. There are levels of pollution that do little to no damage but the EPA will hold you to almost impossible standards.

Related to this issue, Bill Nye, the Tyrant.. err uh.. Science Guy, is warning us not to see Climate Hustle, a film exposing the Climate Change Myth.

That's too ambiguous. What do you mean by "love"? Do all 95% hold a collectivist view of human beings? Is that love?

Thank you for the heads up. Free through Kindle Unlimited which I have.
