Ramadan consists of either shoving as much food in your stomach as physically possible, or committing a terrorist attack.

Ramadan Bombathon 2018 is on day 2, already 7 attacks, 20 dead.

Ramadan seems like a negative religious holiday, encouraging gluttony and deceit.

Lent seems like it has a point at least.

Ramadan bombathon?

2018-05-17 22:33:02 UTC  

Trucks of peace

I didn't save my compass test, or I lost it but I'm about 5 ticks towards libertarian and just a tad right of center.

2018-05-18 00:45:20 UTC  

Hmmmm

2018-05-18 00:45:34 UTC  

I also take issue with the image of a scale being used for "equality". The imagery suggests something like equality under the law. However, equality under the law breeds economic inequality.

2018-05-18 00:46:32 UTC  

what? how?

2018-05-18 00:46:43 UTC  

Maybe

2018-05-18 00:46:49 UTC  

I'm reading into it too much.

2018-05-18 00:46:59 UTC  

Or are you asking how equality under the law breeds economic inequality?

2018-05-18 00:50:00 UTC  

Should be called "Equity".

2018-05-18 00:57:32 UTC  

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]
Yeah, how does it breed economic inequality?

I mean, the ideal would be everyone being the same under the rule of law

2018-05-18 00:59:13 UTC  

Wait are you serious? You think it's ideal for everyone to have the same level of wealth?

2018-05-18 00:59:50 UTC  

Or are you just saying that everyone should be treated equally by the law?

2018-05-18 01:00:06 UTC  

Certainly, it's true that the people should have equality under the law, blind justice and so forth.

2018-05-18 01:00:24 UTC  

But let me ask this question: How is wealth created?

2018-05-18 01:02:04 UTC  

The answer to this question is you create the conditions which allow for the people who know how to create wealth to go ahead and do so.

2018-05-18 01:02:25 UTC  

I'm fairly certain those words were picked to cause what your doing mate

2018-05-18 01:02:39 UTC  

like, each side is value laden to signal to those upon it

2018-05-18 01:03:04 UTC  

That's fine EmptyE just allow me to make my case.

2018-05-18 01:03:09 UTC  

So then they create that wealth, by their own labor and management of assets as well as the labor of others.

2018-05-18 01:03:09 UTC  

sorry

2018-05-18 01:05:14 UTC  

So when you allow people to create their own wealth, they have to be able to keep what they create via their own labor as well as through freedoms of association and conctractual associations.
