Comment Re:Rape? In Sweden? (Score 2, Insightful) 1017

That's the feminist/social sciences dogma. See Palmer & Thornhill, A Natural History of Rape for a different dogmatic response.

There, fixed that for you. The movement in evolutionary psychology is no less unexamined in its belief that psychology results from evolution than are the feminists and social scientists. Palmer and Thornhill miss a lot in their analysis. What drives male/male rapes? Incest with young children? Rape with objects? In other ports? The science is pretty poor and the solution-- chicks should dress more modestly and try to seem "unavailable."

Blizzard didn't listen to customer feedback. they backed down in the face of customer outrage. To imply that their popularity is due to the fact that they seek feedback is ridiculous. If Blizzard "cared" about their customers' opinions, they would have asked about feelings on this change before they announced it, rather than waiting to bludgeoned into submission after imposing the change.

Plus, the income tax is actually unconstitutional! (Thats why they needed to pass a constitutional amendment for it to be in effect today)

I think you have a slight misunderstanding of the Constitution. The Constitution is the original text plus all adopted amendments. Our progressive income tax would have been invalid under the Constitution as it existed at its signing, but that's not our Constitution nor has our income tax ever been unconstitutional (i.e. the Constitution allowed it at the time of the tax's inception).

I'll assume that you're a bright person who was fooled by the sort of BS tactics that extremists on both sides use to "prove" their points. That interview on Breitbart's site (which he leaves undated, purposely) is from 2001 not from a couple of weeks ago.

If you'd like to hear something more recent, try this 2008 interview with Sunstein and Eugene Volokh
