Small Business and Minimum Wage
OK, now I have to throw this out and this is tricky because I have and am long been a proponent of a living wage: What about small businesses that rely on help (besides just the owners themselves working) and who are trying to keep their head above water and what about high school students who often depend on jobs with…

Where’s the global outcry for victims of Boko Haram attacks?
This article asks an excellent question (One that Aafke asked elsewhere but I think would do well to it's own thread, otherwise we just bury the news as well) : As the world continues to mourn the 17 lives lost in the multiple attacks last week in Paris, some people are questioning why the international community isn’t…

Jill Stein, Green, Idiocy
Never realized that the famous dinner party where Michael Flynn was caught with Putin, Jill Stein was at the same table. After watching her on the news today, I firmly believe she is part of the problem. In the interview she's arrogant, and towing a line only a Putin backer could admire. For those that voted for her, after…

Why America Needs More Empathy
While I was reading the America's Gun Violence thread, this quote from Go Beavers struck me: I thought about this for a while and believe a lot of what is currently dividing us has to do directly with a lack of empathy. As luck would have it, Buzzfeed put up an excerpt from Dan Rather's upcoming new book called What Unites…

Anti-Intellectualism and the "Dumbing Down" of America
There is a growing anti-intellectual dumbing down of our culture There is a growing and disturbing trend of anti-intellectual elitism in American culture. It’s the dismissal of science, the arts, and humanities and their replacement by entertainment, self-righteousness, ignorance, and deliberate gullibility. Susan Jacoby,…

Labels, yea or nay?
We had a thread closed recently (thank you very much!) based on a label. My own thinking more and more is that many labels today are inaccurate, misunderstood, outdated and definitely non-productive. If you were to ask me if I am liberal, conservative or moderate, I would say, "Non of the above". I take issues one at a…

Where do our morals come from?
I'm not sure if I believe in a higher power or not. It's something I've thought about a lot. I was thinking about my morals that I carry as a person and can't get passed thinking my morality comes from something bigger. I just don't really know, and was wondering other people's thoughts.
