  1. Indeed, that. seems to be the question.
  2. I'm asking the question, not trying to answer it.
  3. So is a pension? Let’s forget legality, just for the moment, in order to determine the line that it’s legitimate to fight for.
  4. Good question. I’ll start with an obvious example of a privilege that over time becomes a right; let’s say your employer, for the last ten years, has given you £/$ 1000 Christmas bonus and this year they retract it, my question, how many unions would let that slide?
  5. We need to recognise the difference between a fundamental ‘human right’ and a right born of privilege and be prepared to give up a few privileges for the greater good, sometimes. So... where do we draw the line?
  6. If your beliefs negatively impacts on others, like trying to convert an atheist, then stop; otherwise feel free to believe what you want, if it helps.
  7. We need to recognise the difference between a fundamental ‘human right’ and a right born of privilege and be prepared to give up a few privileges for the greater good, sometimes.

    1. Unity+

      Unity+

      Who gets to decide what is best for the greater good?

      If we all recognise the difference; then we all do.

  9. That's not it either; just read my initial link in post #3
  10. Your understanding of this subject borders on the laughable; I’m sure iNow will highlight the reasons.
  11. Again (the same nonsensical reply in my other thread) you have obviously not read any of this thread either; this only compounds my opinion that your thread contains nothing meaningful.
  12. You’re conflating happiness with contentment and as that has been addressed in post #6 I assume you haven’t read the thread; so your opinion as to the validity of the question can safely be ignored. This reply is exactly why I asked for a contribution in your thread; so I see no reason to bother with a reply but thanks for your efforts.
  13. It’s a historically validated method to stimulate growth and therefore viable now.
  14. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_Earth
  15. It’s not about being correct; true understanding is born of mistakes.
  16. Only if ‘leading economists’ decided that was the case, thus leading to both certainty in the prophecy and uncertainty in what that might mean for the future.
  17. That’s like saying “the right and the ‘even more right’” which, I imagine, is what John alludes to.
  18. The notion of justice, in this and many other modern issues, is born of ‘Hollywood’ justice rather than ‘actual’ justice.
  19. Let’s suppose this issue is the same as an alcoholic in a bar run by the Germans (and French); who’s to blame when he/she gets drunk?
  20. True understanding is achieved via a complete education; so both chopsticks are required.
  21. Are you trying to display a lack of understanding (of the economy, humanity and democracy)? Personal debt doesn’t equate to national debt.
  22. That would be the case in a snow shelter but the poles are cold for very different reasons.
  23. History isn't doomed to be repeated but it should be learnt from.
  24. What's tour point (on topic)?
  25. I would be delighted if you would comment on either of these threads: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/89548-if-you-cant-be-content-without-money;-you-cant-be-content-with-money/ http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/83468-why-forgive/
