Faith Based/Ethno-Centric Corruption?
Its not appropriate to attack one's ethnicity or race as the incriminating factor behind a crime or criminal enterprises, but there are identifiable ideas which are propagated amongst select groups or subgroups which deserve attention. Franz Fanon successfully identified communitywide pathologies in both black colonized communities and white ...

Re: The donor can't legally be paid at all!
quidfecisti: And if demand outstripped supply, we’ll inevitably opt for illegal ways; therefore, terrorists and mafia, no doubt, would have a monopoly on this lucrative trade. And that's different from the present situation how, exactly? Surely legalizing a trade in organs would only shift the supply curve up, increasing the quantity supplied ...

Re: The donor can't legally be paid at all!
quidfecisti:I can't say I have any idea what you mean. If it were perfectly legal for people to buy and sell organs, why would the mafia or terrorists be involved?And if demand outstripped supply, we’ll inevitably opt for illegal ways; therefore, terrorists and mafia, no doubt, would have a monopoly on this lucrative trade. You want a drawing?

Re: The donor can't legally be paid at all!
cassandra:THAT'S the whole problem. In organ donation...as in adoption...everyone involved is making a fortune, except for the donor, who is supposed to be acting out of pure altruism. The obvious answer would have been given by a Jewish lady named Ayn Rand. To wit: Let the donors get paid too. Deceive the deception?Organ donation is a matter ...

Rightwing Extremism Leads to Terrorism
Napolitano was right about rightwing extremism threatening to turn into terrorism. The rightwing, ecspecially the white/Aryan/European American male segment, began attacking Obama even before the first 100 days were completed as he began cleaning up the filth and mess left over from the past 8 years. What is terrorism? According to the US Law ...

Re: No reason for the confessional
> 2 Points: First - EEROS, what are you, 11 years old with the taunting at the end of your closing statement? I'm guessing you do not have the advantage of education on the subject; otherwise you would not have made such a statement. If you have any interest, I will clarify the matter for you. A person who does NOT believe in ...

Fantastic article!
Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Re: Religion & Niceness - the Danes do exclude.
The Scandinavian states are pointed to in a number of different arguments, and I almost always find the argument lacking for the simple reason that these states are exceptional for their homogeneity. It is unsurprising that a largely uniform and reasonably small population should exhibit traits uncommon in a large, diverse population. Perhaps I ...
