The idea of "natural rights" is stupid, Snowstalker is correct on that count.

Sure, but the context of the thread makes all his philosophical tirade completely unwarranted and pointless.

This.

Here is another gem:

modern fashion trends have destroyed the traditional concept of preventing men from harassing women.

Nuclear power has shown to be a dangerous and unpredictable source of energy--see Chernobyl, 3 Mile Island, etc.

No.

There's nothing complex about it, you see, once you look past the hysteria.

Simfan, if you read my post, I would hope you'd realize it was sarcastic. I'm not actually an opponent of nuclear power. It was an attempt to willfully misconstrue the meaning of the term "nuclear Iran" as an Iran that uses nuclear power (as opposed to the common definition of an Iran with nuclear weapons).

That is ridiculous given accidents like Fukushima and the consequences if things go wrong. Nuclear energy is needed to reduce global warming, but saying it isn't dangerous in any way is frivolous.

Anyway, what do you hope to accomplish with the "no" answers? (you use them a lot). They just make you appear like an arrogant prick.

Africa is not educated enough for self rule. The whole continent should be put under UN rule, the number one priority should be establishing universal primary education, then after 3 generations or so have been through that system, maybe they can try democracy again.

Wouldn't be needed if humanity stopped reproducing like rats.

Everything would be much easier if the world population would only be 10 million instead of the soon 10 billion and renewables would be plenty available.

Misanthropic garbage.

^^^^^

I don't know how the idea that we should cull 7.115 billion people is hard to disagree with.

What he said was that the problem would not be there if we were fewer people, not that we should "cull" the human population or that humans are vermin.

Tender was being hyperbolic, but not wrong.

I think comparing humans to rats is always distasteful, because of the obvious implications running from that. Whatever your thoughts may be on the earth's carrying capacity and Malthusian notions, I Find the rat comparison deeply troubling.

I would agree with tender more if he substituted the words 'reproducing like rats' with 'consuming so much'.

More people = more consumption.

Everybody wants a cosumerist lifestyle. That will be extremely hard to change - probably impossible.

Global Warming is a non-issue anyway so nothing to see here really.

Enough food is produced for everyone in the world to eat 4,000 calories every day, with similar ratios existing for other needs and wants. Fossil fuels need to be phased out of course.

In a BRTD thread that actually poses an interesting question (why most Western converts to Islam are women):

Pretty easy:

They meet and marry Muslim men, who either directly or indirectly pressure them into converting to Islam.

Basically Stockholm syndrome.

That whole thread belongs here, really, as one would expect from a group of white males pontificating on a subject like that.

He's also has his mother and grandparents from Kansas, they come from who knows of what kind of European culture.

And his speeches and books seem to suggest he's comfortable with both backgrounds.

Take this into account,along with the politics regarding  the above...and it's just waaay too tricky.
