Greyhawk Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Holy mother of ipse dixit. Rule 5? "Healthy debate is encouraged, but participants agree not resort to personal attacks, and do not belittle someone else's argument. Instead of making it personal, participants agree to use rational, persuasive skills to make a point or criticize another’s." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Grathwohl Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Keep in mind that if you say that it is just, you now have set yourself against the US civil rights movements of the 60's and 70's. You mean the movement that spawned the Civil Rights Act - one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation ever written? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawls was Right Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 You mean the movement that spawned the Civil Rights Act - one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation ever written? First, explain how it is hypocritical. Next, rationalize how it is somehow the fault of the left that they had to compromise with the right who wanted to continue injustice.
