Opinions
Is human activity primarily responsible for global climate change?
Yes. And that's not a question anymore. The science is out and very clear on the matter. The debating is over. At this point, anyone who doesn't believe in the human impact of climate change makes... Society & Politics
Who would win in a fist fight among world leaders?
I think my country Switzerland would have a very good chance because we don't have one leader, we have 7. This obviously would gives us a big advantage... and as far as I know, we're the only... Society & Politics
Would there be less war and more peace if women ruled the world?
That's extremely hard to say. I think there is some chance a female-ruled world would be more peaceful, simply because women don't tend to solve problems with physical aggression. While men can be... Society & Politics
Should religion be banned, and why/why not?
No, it shouldn't. Regardless of what I personally think about religions and religious people, it is a fundamental right in a democratic and enlightened nation. We have fought for centuries... Society & Politics
Is the black and white “SS” symbol always a white supremacist symbol? Or could it be something else?
There might exist similarities but the "classical" slanted SS-symbol stands for "Schutzstaffel", which is the German word for "protection corps" and refers to Adolf Hitlers private army (which... Society & Politics
What's the difference between ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban and boko haram?
Taliban --> mostly active in Afghanistan, created by the US (CIA) during the Cold War in order to fight against the Soviet Union. They later became radicalized because of the destruction both... Society & Politics
Is flag burning offensive and Why/Why not?
Absolutely no. In fact, anyone who claims different is an authoritarian idiot who clearly doesn't understand, nor cherish, democratic values. And here's why: A flag is nothing but a piece of... Society & Politics
If you found out your minor sibling was having sex, what would you do?
I have a little sister. If she were 14 or above, I wouldn't care. It's her choice and I consider this old enough to make such decisions in a responsible way. Teenagers are generally educated... Society & Politics
If you were a super rich philanthropist, what causes would you support?
I'm against the idea of donating money to large charities for a number of reasons. Most importantly, I don't like the fact that a large part of my donating is used for administrative works and... Society & Politics
Would you rather live in a dictatorship or an anarchy?
Anarchy. Of course it depends how you define "anarchy" but the way I see it, it would be the original ("true") form of anarchy as proposed by Bakunin and Kropotkin. This type of anarchy has... Society & Politics
Why is nudity in public wrong?
I don't think it is wrong. I think in certain situations it can be inappropriate in the sense that it is too informal. For example you wouldn't go to a business meeting naked. You also wouldn't go... Society & Politics
How do you think the civilization would be if it was matriarchy and are you agreeing in Paglia's quote?
I don't agree with Paglia. First of all: why is living in grass huts such a bad thing? We (modern humans) love to say how great modernity and technological advancements are. However, isn't it... Society & Politics
Do you feel like a foreigner in your own country?
Not at all. Switzerland has always been the home of many foreigners and I feel like that is a part of our culture. Contrary to other European nations, Switzerland was founded on the principle of... Society & Politics
Do you think humans would become a mono-race in the future and would racism vanish then?
Yes, this is what scientists expect will happen if we assume there won't be any major catastrophes that wipe out humanity or a large part of it. However, it will take a long time for this process... Society & Politics
A vegan Cafe Charges 18 percent Man Tax, the owner is a feminist, is feminism still about equality?
That's cleary an attempt to provoke people and you fell for the provocation. But it's okay. Nobody wants to eat vegan food anyway. That's like a Scientology café selling the canned poop of L.... Society & Politics
Is intelligence and stupidity a social construct?
I totally agree with what @cipher42 has already said. It is both. I would perhaps add to her comment that the way we measure intelligence is also socially constructed... or at least socially... Society & Politics
What do you think about polygamy?
I think first of all we have to decide between sexual polygamy/polyandry and something called polyamory. In polygamous or polyandric relationships, it's usually one guy with many girls or vise... Society & Politics
What popular notion do you think society has wrong?
In my opinion, the American dream is one of the wrongest notions ever conceived. First of all, traditional capitalism claims that everyone can become rich. That's extremely misleading because the... Society & Politics
Would you ever go to a nude beach, even just once? If not, why not?
Yes, have been there before. It's no big deal. I like going there with my girlfriend. We would make a game out of trying to make each other jealous by pointing out people we find attractive. Can... Society & Politics
