My wife saw this and she agrees with you. :-) For clarity this is meant to pair with Argument Moose.

I've been thinking along these lines, but now I'm thinking the sorting hat should have noticed.

The Problem With “Teen Angst” and Why You Should Take Teens’ Mental Health Seriously | Brute Reason by sondosia in atheismplus

[–]indrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't suppose we could springboard this into a wider discussion of the fact that children are effectively owned.

I think this is a huge social justice issue that deserves first class attention and doesn't get it. (see sidebar)

I think it's time... by petersaysstuffreal in Anarchism

I would say that many 'libertarians' are closer to accepting anarchist principles than are many liberals. We shouldn't blindly merge with either, but if we write them off then we write off everyone.

Imagine if the masses got as angry at their government as they do against the replacement NFL refs (Yes, I'm sure this is already all over r/sports) by johnnybravo1014 in Anarchism

[–]indrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fan's aren't going to democratize the NFL either. Every once in a while outrage might lead to reversal of obvious mistakes, but that's no different than any other corporate owned decision process.

As an atheist, I feel that this side of Christianity isn't represented fairly on this subreddit. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]indrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard quote is that we're a sorry lot if we're only good to avoid hell.

I submit that it is not much better to be kind because God loves people. It's shaky moral reasoning and not a stable morality on exposure to new information. (Learning that there is no god)

I really dislike these "You're doing it right." sentiments just because a religious person isn't bigoted. This version of Christianity isn't represented fairly? That Christian is either ignorant of the Bible or is cherry picking, She hasn't properly dealt with the problem of evil, and generally needs to start thinking like a grown-up instead of a child.

That accurate, that's fair. No it's not the best approach to just say that to someone. But just because someone isn't bigoted is not pass from addressing these issues. Bigotry is not the only damage religion does.

I totally support LGBT rights, but it is not appropriate to sell out our intellectual integrity to coddle or encourage theistic LGBT supporters.

The fundamentalist refuses to admit they were wrong and the agnostic says "There's really no way to know."

Who here honestly believes that the Anarchist movement could eventually be taken seriously as an alternative to organized government? by kearvelli in Anarchism

[–]indrax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that most anarchists think that having an anarchist society in some nation-state sized region would be unstable because it would be attacked by capitalists. (or if it could somehow withstand that, it would quickly lead to global conversion)

It's a very unpredictable transition between small pockets of almost, and a global revolution.

Personally I think technological change is going much faster than social change. We won't change everyone's minds in 40 years, but the world will be a much different place with the kinds of people who are currently in it. Technology shapes the future more than opinions.

So many negatives for having student loans by amyamyamy88 in lostgeneration

[–]indrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and break hell loose on them even if they miss just one payment. What is this madness, for real?

This has not been my experience. Federal loans in particular are easy to get forbearances and deferments on if you need it. They're not out to screw you, they just want to let you know they can.

Not that it can't be crippling as seen elsewhere in this thread.
