Marxist communism fails wherever it is tried (and saw to the murders of over 100 million innocent people) because it's fundamentally broken. It lacks any of the value indicators that are essential to any economic system.
Marx believed firmly in the labor theory of value, and as such all economic power derived from human labor, not from mechanical power and as such almost completely ignores the value of intellectual work, the guy who figures out the right way to apply labor to raw materials is fantastically more effective than the one who does it the wrong way.
Communism is also terrible at effectively allocating resources since it lacks the price signals that bundle cost and relative value and communicate them in a way that enables efficient allocation of resources to maximize what people collectively perceive as good, which is why communist economies always fail, and will always fail, even in the presence of automated systems that produce and distribute all of the essentials of life to everyone equally.
"All basic necessities of life will be for free and accessible to all members of said society + a few extras brought up by civilization. The list went --> basic necessities are air, water, food, shelter, warmth [energy] and clothing. The extras were child-care, education and medicine."
And yet that's very much what exists in the social welfare systems of most western countries today, with a few exceptions. They focus, quite rightly, on trying to get people back to work, but for the most part nobody starves by the roadside. Simultaneously they harness the desire for self improvement and reward it, creating an incentive for advancement.
As to the rest to be honest it just looks like a lengthy paranoid misanthropic screed.
Oh I suspect her money is very safe indeed.
The field is already open to women.
Kids aren't born a blank sheet of paper, regardless of what some might think. Obviously culture will influence behaviour, but it's not an all or nothing question.
Then again it also means I can take the content created by anyone on youtube and embed it into my own ad-studded website and make cashy money from their efforts.
I think youtube throttles down performance for embedded videos though, just from personal observation.
WTF
I love it when science can't explain something yet, it means we have so much more to learn.
"Muslem" is not a race. This annoys me, a wide contingent of the usual headbangers seem to have decided that all the little brown people are the race of Islam. The world map is not drawn in crayons no matter how easy it makes your thought processes to imagine it is.
I hear he's challenged Chuck Norris to a biplane duel for the last leg.
Your central point is that it's not okay for one group to do it, but okay for a group you bray your support for endlessly to do it. And then you have the gall to start complaining about false equivalency and of all things hostility, particularly hilarious given your own penchant for leaping in with both boots on. So once again, get fucked you fucking hypocritical little fuck.
Oh, look, an article objecting to a specific methodology, that in no way was made illegal.
It's a paper, not some smear of a blog entry.
Okay. Those are equal. Yep. Look, your objection requires people to believe in a huge-criminology wide conspiracy to suppress data, whereas my objection just references a law on the books.
My objection requires people to believe in well supported research, and I don't really give a shit what you're referencing. Want more? Here you go: http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert...
I'm not even going to refute what you're saying, because, hell, Straus is a criminologist, and I'm not. But I will accuse you of willful false equivalence. Don't do that.
Get fucked.
There's something very wrong with the notion of not researching things that might reflect negatively on your ideology.
Yes, for example the way feminism routinely hides, obfuscates and outright lies about domestic violence figures.
The delayed transitions are just shitty resource management from lazy hacks, that's a bunch of plugins loading from hither and yon, and it grinds my gears too.
After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn.
