Would have voted "Other." No right is absolute and every right is weighed and balanced against competing rights. To therefore assert that censorship is always and everywhere unacceptable is to... Society & Politics

Can't speak to who has responded to this survey, but it is not really a serious attempt to explore - even at a superficial level - the political ideas it purports to explain. The questions are... Society & Politics

The British statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke wrote, "The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do as they please. We ought see what it will please them to do before we... Society & Politics

For my part, I grew up in a home where dad was a doctor and tended to treat nudity as just another day at the office. So we tended to be somewhat more casual about nudity in our family then did my... Society & Politics

Yikes!! Never saw anything like the Utah case before. If it were a crime, my girlfriend and I would have been in jail ages ago. So put me down for an emphatic "No, there is nothing wrong with it."... Society & Politics

No joke, when I was no more than 5 years old, I can remember my mother telling my younger brother and me, "If you kids get thrown in jail you can expect to stay there because I won't be bailing... Society & Politics

Not sure I follow the question. If it is asking if I would give up a seat to either, the answer is unquestionably "yes." In fact, I am an old fashioned boy and I still stand when a woman enters a... Society & Politics

Nope. Sorry. I have three children for whom a big part of Christmas is Santa and Mrs. Clause at the North Pole making toys and baking cookies and all the rest. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.... Society & Politics

The question is a little aside the point since the Supreme Court has been pretty clear that "hate speech" is protected speech. Such speech is only restricted insofar as it runs up against libel... Society & Politics

Shortest answer I have ever written in response to one of your questions. In brief - Well, it probably didn't help. So, just to check, I asked my boys, ages 9 and 8, if either of them... Society & Politics

Well, I have no problem with it although I have no desire to make it a lifestyle. Indeed, my girlfriend and I tend to be quite casual about nudity. To start, I grew up in a family where dad... Society & Politics

As the proud and doting father of three, whose whole world lights up when I get home and I hear three little voices excitedly shouting, "DADDY!!!", and whose second job is "Official tickle... Society & Politics

To understate it just a hair, it does not have a great track record. It is well gone. Socialism was a romantic reaction to the Enlightenment. To wit, the idea of the Enlightenment was that man... Society & Politics

Leaving aside the inherent weaknesses in Affirmative Action - that being the allocation of opportunity on the basis not of merit and effort but on factors extraneous to them such as sex and skin... Society & Politics

Put me down for Zambia. You are going to think less of me - and I always considered you a friend on this site - but I put it all at risk to tell you that I actually like all of the other ones on... Society & Politics

Voted "Conservative," but I always, when I see this kind of question, have to put an asterisk over it. My conservatism is not what Americans typically call conservative. Because what Americans... Society & Politics

Just a hunch, but as the father of one pre-schooler and two elementary school kids I think it more than fair to say that you could not swing a dead cat in a crowded school and hit anyone who would... Society & Politics

Given that I was 16 and my girlfriend was 15 at the time we lost our virginity to one another, I guess that consistency dictates that I say 15 or 16. Although that is not ideal in terms of some of... Society & Politics
