Or you can buy an indulgence - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence. I am aware as to how the Vatican City operates, and this negates my point about the Catholic church being a...
Knowledge and understanding are two very different things. In a more politically loaded context, the concept of knowledge is linked to the ideas of enlightenment and empiricism. There is an...
I don't think anyone hates Europeans as part of their culture. They may point out that they have been looted by Europeans en masse, and when shit like slavery was disbanded, watched slave-owners get...
https://www.versobooks.com/books/1907-traces-of-history - I can't recommend this enough to gain an understanding as to why anything regarding race is conveniently overlooked, especially by Settler...
Really? I'd say that you do, and can give an answer to the question. How would you reconcile your position of it knowing, with the very clearly stated edicts: Matthew 19:24 - And again I say unto...
I'm curious, do you think Trump is a good or an evil man? For the purposes of this question, assume that by good, I mean someone who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and by evil, I mean someone...
How can anyone divorce the Catholic faith from politics? They quite literally came to an agreement with Mussolini to set up a theocratic state, from which they can pass decrees, demand money for...
Because racism isn't ignorance and poor taste. It is a system, with quantifiable, measurable and demonstrable socioeconomic effects. Saying fuck in a job interview is in no way comparable. The...
No. I'd actually say that my school was pretty good in terms of equality. There was no bias in terms of educational performance or outcomes. We still only took 3 girls in my A-Level years through to...
Typhon No, because enclosure was extolled by Adam Smith and Jeremy Bentham to end mercantilism. The British empire was totally built on laissez faire capitalism.
Nope. I'm talking about the famines engineered by Britain in colonial India. It put no money in Indian farmers' hands. If the history of British rule in India were to be condensed into a single...
I don't think you understand parliamentary democracy. If my vote is for not a Tory, then that should be represented in parliament. It cannot be in the current system. It's got nothing about what I...
I just gave you examples such as GPS and Hip Replacements. Those are inventions and created by the public sector. So your ideological statement that every single invention that affects our lives...
Then what are they? In the UK context, it's not even representative democracy, we run First Past the Post, whereby since my constituency is solidly Tory, my vote is effectively not a vote. No-one...
Actually, the liberal UK were anti-police. Police as an idea was French in origin, and was described as totalitarian from the get go. It was Patrick Colquhoun who established the River Thames Police....
Forcing people to vote will not provide an engaged electorate by magic. Australia forces those registered to vote to compulsorily cast a ballot. This leads to lower voter registration, and a...
I hardly ever make promises, because I feel compelled to keep my promises. If I have an argument with my partner, for example, and I agree that she has raised valid points about my behaviour, then I...
Homo Sapiens almost certainly starts it life in the theatre of life on this planet somewhere in or around the Rift Valley. However, what do you mean by human? Any species that starts with the word...
It really boils down to how you conceive of God. If you mean, as most monotheistic religions do, that God is a supernatural being, like a tangible, existing thing, with us made in his (though in...
Despite having reservations about the poor phraseology for some questions e.g. The United Nations should be abolished doesn't lend itself to the nuanced answer it deserves, instead you get a bunch...

I went to the University of London. I picked it for 3 reasons, all of approximately equal weight. 1. I wanted to study law, and I felt that proximity to the Royal Courts of Justice, plus the...
Meh, I've never understood people who want good lawyers, when they can have fantastic lawyers, like ENFPs! :proud::tongue::wink:
I'm a lawyer, I'm an ENFP.

Not a pornstar, but when I die, I want a sky burial. It seems the fairest way to dispose of me. I eat meat, and have eaten plenty of poultry, so I might as well return the favour when I die. As...
Romance? I'd say Sense and Sensibility; though I'm also a big fan of Vanity Fair in terms of social commentary. Other than that, my favourite book is probably To Kill a Mockingbird, because Atticus...
