It was kind of interesting to note that Harris seemed guarded but leaning towards reparation where Weinstein was adamantly opposed to reparation verses reform. Call for vote, what do you guys think would be a good direction towards equality

EAllusion, this question to you was pretty buried: "how do you feel about an institution, say a science lab that does DNA research and declares a 'Day of Absence' where if you are not black you are directed to stay away. If a white scientist refuses to honor the black only today rule and shows up, i...

The concept of 'safe space' verses 'free speech' being mutually exclusive struck me in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRIKJCKWla4 it seems EAllusion would like this forum to be a 'safe space'. Rock, you specifically contrasted having "safe spaces" with having "free speech" then charact...

But what of those that have good reasons to hold that a Day of Absence is a bad idea? It seems to me that the stance Weinstein took (color should not dictate) is the same thing that 'all lives matter' states and just exactly what happened to him is what is happening to those who would dare declare ...

Yes, Rock, I'm a Moaist anarchist, whatever that is, because I attacked your free speech rights and demanded a safe space when I suggested that lawn jockey displapys are, in fact, racist, thereby proving I disagree with depicting images of black people in general. You got me. You sure are stuck at ...

Well, I think it's fair to say that these changes are being made out of "fear of the crowd." Isn't every political decision made primarily on that basis? If the crowd's moving, it's moving. If, as a business, you care about your customer base, you'll move with them. What's the financial upside in r...

If you have a lawn display of Nazi memorabilia and intend for it to historical celebration of defeating the Nazis, you have to understand that what your intent is differs significantly from the social meaning of what you've done. ... Do you not see from my two post explanations to Honor, that the p...

Rockslider, Can you dumb down what your point and position are? I’m having trouble figuring out just what it is that you’re trying to state, especially given the links (5 hours!) and subsequent thread. - Doc I wish I would not have linked Sam Harris. The title (Can we pull back from the brink) and ...
