This Time on Philosophy "Weekly": Which Philosopher/Philosophical Leaning Fits YOU?
IT'S BACK! Here it is, the Lazarus/Jesus of threads (or maybe I'm just annoying and won't shut up...yeah, that one) back from the dead. Since we had a Political Alignment quiz last week, thought this might be fun...especially with the new batch of philosophical and political folks we have...so, let us know who your #1 and #2 results are, and taking all bets--how many times will Ayn Rand pop up for our conservative friends? :) http://selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY/

OK, so I had to write a 300-600 word essay on this topic for my entrance exams...
I thought I'd see what you all would have written. So give me a 300-600 word essay on the folliwng (obi, limit it to 300-600 words, larger is penalized by the exam).

Pick a side: Can people choose to be happy, or is happiness out of their control?

Is it only racist when white people do it?
After tweeting the phrase "90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM" James Edwards would go on to participate in the shooting of Chris Lane. Unlike the zimmerman shooting, this was racially motivated. Would you consider this act racist, or can only white people be racist?

Arab Spring - Worst Soap Ever

I didn't care for the "Arab Spring," but the "Arab Summer" is a blockbuster!

Liberals' rosy predictions for Egypt's Islamic revolution didn't turn out as planned. Who could have guessed that howling mobs in Tahrir Square in 2011 would fail to produce a peaceful democracy?

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak had supported U.S. policy, used his military to fight Muslim extremists and recognized Israel's right to exist. So naturally, Obama told him he had to go.

The rest of Ann Coulter's column can be found here:

Hate her if you want...call her names...but I CHALLENGE you to read this column. It's got a lot of good points...

In a general way I agree with you krellin, but I am not 100% certain that obama was behind this coupe.

There is more to show that the Saudis are behind in and the US had no choice in the matter.

Is she implying that the only good thing for an American president is to think of short term US policy, (Mubarak was, in the short term, supporting US policy) and not to hope for change? -- NB haven't read the article, but i'm sure there is more in it which i wouldn't agree with.

Orath,

Ann Cunter is a "journalistic" opportunist who twists events and fact in whatever ways her whims lead her to, depending on her mood and her menstrual cycle.

It is sad and they are not the cause of the current turmoil.
Sbyvl36 (439 D)

I am not at all surprised that Copts are being targeted. The Koran tells Muslims to wage war on Non-Muslims. What we need is to educate the public on what Islam really is: A murderous, evil cult.

ILN, remind me to have a Catholic-Orthodox debate with you sometime.

dirge...Oh, you mean like CNN...MSNBC...FOX News...you mean she twists things to her own agenda just like all the media NETWORKS do? ALL of them?

Yes, she is what she is, but that doesn't mean what she says is invalid.

Here are some invalid statements by people who aren't supposed to make invalid statements:
Rember when Obama said that Syria using chemical weapons crossed a red line? THAT was an invalid statement...and people continue to be slaughtered there. At least Ann Coulter doesn't stand by and watch people die by the thousands...

And for the record, I'm not saying Obama should get involved in Syria...but then why is he still in Afghanistan? Why did he intervene in Libya? I'd *love* to get my hand on the random dice Obama uses in his foreign policy...could probably devise an interesting role playing game with those magic, random dice...

"Ann Cunter doesn't stand by and watch people die by the thousands . . ."

krellin, friend, you sometimes amaze me at how you can top your own heights of absurdity.

So what does Ann Cunter do? Does she take up arms to go fight for justice in the desert places of the world? No, I think not. She sits back with her mimosas and she takes cheap verbal pot shots at people in positions of responsibility.

Does that make her some kind of heroine?

For fucks sake.

Um, didn't your party get us half assed in to afghanistan? Why don't you talk about that?

What strikes me about this story is the use of prisoners as slave labour. Right? That forms a kind of unfair competition against commercial interests, unless those interests are in the running of prisons for profit.
