What kind of liberalism does american ''believe'' in? Social liberalism, classical? And so on. Because here in Europe liberalism is considered right. Why do conservatives in USA call the left liberal when republican party is pretty liberal when it comes to market and such?

liberal in the US has a very different meaning than classical liberal. basically it's just a progressive/ political left, not a coherent ideology.
>>
Liberal in the USA means women have = rights, minorities have = rights, military that will keep the peace by being the strongest, anti-commie.

We've been liberal since the 1940s

At what point does euthanasia become an acceptable option?
38 posts and 7 images submitted.
>>
Only if that person is going to suffer more than they could get out of life. Say they're born blind, deaf, and paralyzed.

But being black, or having a lower IQ, or having a minor dissability is in no way a acceptable situation for euthanasia.
Especially when you are referring to hundreds of millions, or even billions, of people.

>totally irrelevant backwards nonentity vs most powerful state in the world at the time

Hmm, tough choice.

Suppose the Axis won in North Africa and controlled the Suez canal, thus giving the Italian Navy control of the Mediterranean and give the Axis access to oil and rubber.

Would they have had a much better chance at winning the war?

That'd require Rommel to not be a total fuck up strategically.

They may have pulled off a win in the Eastern Front. But people forget that the U.S. was easily as powerful as the USSR with just the troops we had in Europe. If we combined the European and Pacific forces we would've steam-rolled Germany even after that.

Why is it a big deal that Africa's IQ is relatively low compared to others? So what? Not everyone on earth needs to be building airplanes, or designing the next great big invention in order to become worthy of something. Society always needs those that can do manual work, work in factories or simply live a simple life of farming. Why should Africans be expected to build airplanes, construct new machinery, and built rockets to go into space?

It's fun man. Little easier to follow than the Bible imo

I would recommend reading it with some commentary to bring it into perspective.
Def. not as adulterated as the Bible either.
That being said, the Bible stories I think are over all better.

It could make HBO for sure, don't know how the muslims non-western muslims would take it though?
>>
There's a sura solely dedicated to saying "pls stop bullying Muhammed"

As a non-Muslim Westerner it was certainly an enlightening read.

Would communism actually work if it wasnt filled with mentally ill homosexual people and people who think there are more then 2 genders and fat acceptance people? Would communism work better if it supported fitness and being healthy and a more conservative role on gender roles?

this was pretty much 30's-onward USSR

still didn't work out in the end

Communism is structured in a way that makes it almost impossible for a dictator to not seize power and turn it into an authoritarian dictatorship. You could make an argument that if that didn't happen, it could work. But it will always happen in a large, successful state. Every time.

>learning from others
or
>experiencing things and forming your own thoughts

I don't know which is better. Are you "tainted" or "lazy" if you read books? Aren't you better off by forming your own opinions on things instead of reading the opinion of someone else and regurgitating it?

This is something that has been bugging me. I want to go to university, but it feels like a path of comfortable mediocrity and not going the other way of forming your own thoughts and writing them down. I don't think you get multiple chances at stuff like this.

Think about it like this:

I'm 22. People typically reach their intellectual zenith at around 25 +- 2 years before very very slowly declining for the next several decades until they eventually start getting major problems in old age. Whatever you're going to do, the best of it will statistically be in your mid-twenties. This goes for scientists, painters, mathematicians, musicians and producers, athletes, whatever. Typically, your most CELEBRATED work in life, will have been accomplished around your mid-twenties.

cont.

Something that I've noticed is that people who I find exceptionally intelligent or clever, or whatever you want to use to describe how noticeably sharper they are than everyone else you see every day, have the following qualities across the board, every time, no matter what, no question..

1. They read books and have for most of their lives, making them well-read and cultured - they know what they're talking about and don't bullshit anything

2. They are strikingly articulate when forming arguments, partially by using "big words" fluently that most people don't even know the definition of

3. If they attend(ed) university, they don't pay much attention to the work and instead focus on their own thoughts and projects outside of class for their own purposes

4. They are eccentric enough to be noticeable(aspergers, etc), but normal enough to function in society.. i.e. live on their own, have a job, what have you...

5. They only have original thoughts, and never regurgitate anything.

What i'm describing, I very, very rarely if ever see go to university and use it as some kind of path to higher learning... or act like it means anything. I don't know how to explain it. They take everything into their own hands. They form their own opinions ALWAYS, and very rarely give a shit what other people think on any subject.

I don't see THESE people working hard on their term papers and sweating to get a 4.0 because they JUST HAVE to get into law school, or whatever, you get the point. These people don't listen to professors, or give a shit about what their peers think AT ALL. It's like they're incapable almost, or think it's 100% a waste of their time.

They form their own path. These qualities just don't fit the mold of university, do they? Am I wrong? Regular people do not act like this, and they go to university because "it's what you're supposed to do". I think it is a positive correlation.

>>3129289
Opinions can be formed in two ways. Informed or uninformed. Never is the uninformed opinion any good in any way.
>>
Maybe the frame of reference or the outdated classifications you put people on are wrong?

If you don't feel well, there is something you need from others or there is something you need to change yourself.
If you already sorted yourself out (i don't know another expression), then plan what you need to do to get what you want.
