I would like to discuss about the relation of different religions and science.

Also don't try to start a religion vs science war since most religions doesn't take all literally

Ah, what is better than treating as you would like to be treated, is to treat as you have been! Take for example a hierarchical society. One naturally wants to be a master, but to treat others as a master is bad when people falter in treating people as masters, creating the unproductivity essential to communism. In contrast, when one treats others as slaves when one has been a slave, it is good because if people falter in enslavement, that is productive in that one works more than he consumes in the labor of others.

I was alluding to Nietzsche. I put "God" in quotation marks because I was referring to the belief in something greater than oneself and altruism as an ideal. I know it's just an evolutionary achievement; I was saying it's more human than attempting to be objective. It's not just that it would be unnatural to do it, but that it would literally be the death of everything that is "good" about humanity, because "good" is literally that which is good for society as a whole rather than the individual. That sounds really collectivistic, like propaganda in fascist and totalitarian states, but that's not my ideal. I'm simply saying that it's unhuman, narcissistic and solipsistic to elevate the self above others to some transcendent extent like Nietzsche; other people are as real as oneself, and only sociopaths and schizophrenes fail to acknowledge them as more than just pawns. You don't appreciate vanity and self-righteousness in others, do you? So what meaning could it have? Of course you need a little of both ideologies, because to exist as an individual is to need, but one of the greatest needs is for other beings. Because of that need, people naturally treat each other as both slaves and masters, to go along with the analogy, but it is naturally seen as best to be independent and altruistic, in everyone's best interests--if you can't see why other people are important, I can't tell you.

I have a few issues to raise here, and probably should be doing them all in different threads, but oh well, they're somewhat linked.

Has anyone else noticed hat if a woman comes out as a feminist, she is seen as a 'strong', 'free-thinking', 'empowered' woman...
Yet if a man were to come out as a male 'free-thinker', there would be riots in the streets over how much of a pig he was, and how everyone deserves equal opportunities.

Dont get me wrong, i dont see men as the dominant sex, i just think that men and women are DIFFERENT
To try to give people equal opportunities is the biggest contravention of human nature possible.

The illusion of equality is a terrible one...
Take the global economy: You need rich countries to dominate over the poorer ones to have true balance and stability.
Take the threat of nuclear war: You need the imbalance, the threat, to stop anybody from doing anything. To quote iron man "peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy"

All my point

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice..you don�t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They�ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses...

I think that perhaps the most ironic part of all of this is the price of housing. Since houses are relatively cheap compared to what they actually sell for, most of what you are paying for is artificial (land value and profit margins, mostly). This artificial cost is caused by the demand and willingness of people to pay high prices because of the perceived value of simply owning a home.

...Basically, if we all went to cheap housing (house sharing, co-opted apartments, etc.), the price would plummet...this is of course neglecting the feedback affect of low prices spurning sales...

Jacqueline Mercado, a 33-year-old Peruvian immigrant, took a few photos of her young children at bath time. A week later, Richardson police were rummaging through her house for kiddie porn, and a state child welfare worker came to take her kids away.

The photo in question: Jacqueline Mercado and Johnny Fernandez say they took this image last October to memorialize the breast-feeding stage of their son's life. Below: The Lucca Madonna, painted in the 15th century by the Dutch master Jan van Eyck. Defense lawyers argued that while breast-feeding images are a second-degree felony in Richardson, they are also on public display in the finest art museums in the world.

<= If you live in Texas now you have child porn on your computer.

In one--the photo that would threaten to send Mercado and her boyfriend to prison--the infant Rodrigo is suckling her left breast.

After Mercado dropped off the film for processing, a technician viewed the images and decided they were "suspicious," according to a police report. As required under Texas law, he immediately contacted local police. Mercado says that when she went to pick up her pictures, the clerk told her there would be a delay, and then only returned three of the four sets of prints.

To Richardson police, who arrived at the store that afternoon and apparently made up their minds from the content of the pictures alone, this was nothing short of a felony case of child pornography. "We thought they contained sexuality," says Sergeant Danny Martin, a Richardson police spokesman, explaining why two Richardson police detectives began pursuing a criminal case. "If you saw the photos, you'd know what I me

The child porn laws in the U.S. are draconian, largely because they are easy to pass politically (and they give the politician the ability to say "I protected the children!"), and because anyone that fights them becomes a social pariah.

There are some problems with laws, but I think that in this case the problem was with the technician and the police.
