“There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method; the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.”
-Robert A. Heinlein
“If you’d asked any scientist or doctor 30 years ago where stomach ulcers come from, they would all have given the same answer: obviously it comes from the acid brought on by too much stress. All of them apart from two scientists who were pilloried for their crazy, whacko theory that it was caused by a bacteria. In 2005 they won the Nobel prize. The “consensus” was wrong.”

From this NPR report :“A key official on a [Walter Reed] review committee reportedly asked how it might look to terminate a key resident who happened to be a Muslim.”
If this isn’t ”political correctness,” nothing is.

He mentions it in many debates. However, a mainstay in most of his recent debates is his accusation that vicarious redemption is immoral, which is also a unique criticism. You can hear that in his debate against Turek on youtube.
do you know which debates he mentions those two (intuitionism and human solidarity) ?
-
It is a rather interesting article. Just read it.
Hitchens often condemns Christianity for things I've not heard anyone else condemn it for except for Objectivists (And Nietzsche
); that it requires self-immolation and sacrifice and that is immoral . STill, he holds to intuitionism as the source of morality and human solidarity as its main goaldo you have a source for this.

but isn't that opening the door for more cases. I mean if you back down more are going to take advantage of it.

There should not be a cap on compensatory damages. But there has to be a cap on punitive damages because it must be an objective assessment and currently it is not.

the Obama videos are pretty awful though.

anybody know books on modern art that I can use to contrast with TRM ?

I haven't read the Romantic Manifesto yet, so I don't know if this is redundant, but at ARC TV they have posted a 48 minute audio lecture by Ayn Rand on Art in Education. Here is the link, just scroll down the page to find it.
thanks. I was actually looking for a bit more than just audio. Something that can be used for my thesis
-
I was wondering if you guys know any useful resources on Art Education (epistemology/pedagogy/aesthetics/philosophy) apart from the Romantic Manifesto.

But the horizontal one.

Maybe Mary Jo Kopechne might have . . . if he hadn’t killed her.
I understand the chief problem reported by the physicians treating him was in finding a piece of Edward Kennedy that wasn’t malignant.

Let’s see if we can find something nice to say about Edward Kennedy now he’s dead.

*** Mod's note: Merged with a previous topic. - sN ***
Wanted to get the forum member's thoughts on smacking vs beating. I have at best a mismash of ideas in my head so I'm going to spew them out in this post.
I will start with this definition of parenting:
"The parent’s job is to bring the future into the present for the child, to make it palpable, and to do so in a way that accurately represents the world as it is—but at a level that is accessible to the child."
I will also define a child as a 9 year old.
Having said that I would suggest that children often want to do playful things, and are not necessarily advanced enough in thought to consider the consequences of their actions. Some of these things might be objectively considered "bad", but the child mind may not be developed enough to consider them thus. The law also states that their parents/guardians are responsible for their actions. What then happens when some playful fun goes bad, and (to be extreme) someone dies? It's certainly in the interests of the parent or guardian to limit this behaviour. Sometimes that will require coercion.
That coercion takes the form of smacking. I distinguish between smacking and beating by defining smacking as the minimum coercisive action required to prevent further damage by the child's own actions .
Given that one can't foresee every possibility and given that a child's rationality is bounded to a huge degree in comparison with adults. , when something unexpected arises which might result in hard to the child, should one 1) quickly correct the child using minimum force required to do so, or 2) let the child suffer the injurious consequences? Which of those two situations is the more abusive?
At the same time isn't this coercisive force at heart an authoritarian force ,one that will sooner or later, cause problems. if you are being a good parent, why did you not anticipate that the child might be curious about e.g. sockets and secure them? Then, seeing the child's curiousity, why did you not find some safe ways for the child to learn about electricity? How does spanking convey to the child the remotest understanding about electricity and why it can be dangerous?

I see it rather differently. I believe they are a threat to the Gulf rather than Israel--thats their real goal--. Israel is a tool that Iran uses in order to export its extremism into the Gulf. From the days of the Shah, they wanted hegemony in the Gulf, and Israel is a game they play. So when they want to win support among Arabs, they start screaming about Israel; they simply play off frustrations and fears in the Arab world and to some degree they've succeeded.

NZ is a good country to retire but not to live in. I haven't been to the USA before but have some cousins living there.
