Remove Corporate Personhood would be a good first step.

What about the Medical Uses of Heroin?

Yes Very cool This is also very cool

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with any civil rights violations or social injustice in this incident. Please give me some examples. I thought it was a riot that involved a bunch of jack ass criminals.

Have you got your tin foil hat on? Please see video form post #32

Where did you go? Fox News University? 97 out of 100 scientists that believe in man-made climate change. I think I will go with them, not Oprah. This data comes from National Academy of Sciences.

The known history of the scientific discovery of climate change began in the early 19th century. It has become more and more evident as time has gone by. This is not a trendy problem. To compare it to astrology or UFOs is a ridiculous notion.

I agree completely. Even if a person doesn't believe in climate change and the human influence, what about the peak oil problem. What a about a green economy (Like Germany) to help create much needed Jobs. What about our children's future.

My response

How about equality under the law? All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others - George Orwell

Social justice is about equality and fairness between human beings.

Well for one Police have abused their power since forever, but it was always your word against his. Without YouTube these dirty cops got away with murder. Some examples Robert Dziekański murder G20 rights violations Countless acts of assault, one example here in Kelowna. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbdareHU4Ik&feature=relmfu One from Victoria

I think that it's possible that the social media site YouTube could go down in history as one of the great Social justice tools. Thoughts?

Yaaa It's plain to see that it's a Corporatocracy.

Libertarian Left as I thought.....anarchy

Probably my favorite documentary of all times. It's about 2 1/2 hours long but may change idea of what a person is. The Corporation is a 2003 Canadian documentary film written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott. The documentary is critical of the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behaviour towards society and the world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person.

It wouldn't be impossible to write a policy. Your motorcycle insurance states you must wear helmet at all times failure to do so with affect your insurance in such and such ways. If you get in an accident it's pretty simply to show whether or not you were wearing one. The same thing can be done with a seat belt case, either buy the degree of injury or I believe that new cars are installed with what is called black boxes. This is too ridiculous to respond to.

I have to disagree with you on this Oleg Bach. I'm not a cop hater but I believe that the police abuse their power on a regular basis. The only reason it has become more evident recently is because of You Tube. You Tube will go down in history as one of the greatest social justice devices. I could list a shit load of examples for you, but for now I will use the G20.

How Much Money Will You Pay For Green Energy? I think this depends on how much you believe in climate change, and the cause. Two questions were key: Have mean global temperatures risen compared to pre-1800s levels, and has human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures? About 90 percent of the scientists agreed with the first question and 82 percent the second. The strongest consensus on the causes of global warming came from climatologists who are active in climate research, with 97 percent agreeing humans play a role. Petroleum geologists and meteorologists were among the biggest doubters, with only 47 percent and 64 percent, respectively, believing in human involvement. I'm going with the people that are smarter than me. There is no Canadian economy if there is no Canada, or world worth living in. What if our generation were the first to think of the next generation.

Yes I believe. I didn't say I had a degree in criminal sociology. I simply proposed a theory that I believe in. I even included as much information on the subject that I could found online, so people could explore this idea on their own. If people find the concept thought provoking maybe they watch the video, and or read the studies. After which maybe they can comment on the subject, where they agree, where they disagree, and any concerns they have with the studies relevance to Canada. I'm pretty sure you didn't look into it at all, you just saw that most of the research was from the states and said "no got nothing to do with us". Yes I think it's a North America problem. I'm comparing Canada and America in values, and socioeconomic factors. I'm not comparing America and North Korea. One of the factors in the theory was fatherlessness. Canada First marriages have about a 50% chance of ending in divorce , that risk becomes greater with each successive marriage (about 72% for second, and about 85% for third marriages). America The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41% The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60% The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73% Canada seems to be worse than the States on this one.

Good point. Democracy is not perfect, and certainly not representative democracy. A little off topic but what are your thoughts on direct democracy?

Why all the hostility? When did I say I wouldn't wear a helmet or seatbelt? I said I have have common sense. It's not how far I want to take it, the question was directed to you. Please don't presume you know me, especially when you continue to misinterpreted what I am saying. I didn't say no state, I would like to see minimal state. Government plays a very important role providing safety and security for individuals acting freely together. We need safe streets and the comfort of knowing our military is protecting us from foreign attacks. We need to know our contracts will be enforced, that disputes can be settled fairly and that coercion against us will be punished. We need to know the rule of law will be applied to everyone equally and that there's not a privileged class above the law. I came to this forum to explore ideas, discuss issues, and have some philosophical debates. I'm not pushing my ideas on anyone, just stating what I believe. But it seems certain members are hostile to any new ideas, and would rather bash your ideas than to contribute constructively. I'm new to this forum so please help me, is this normal?

Sounds good, I'm an adult with good common sense. Should be a low rate. This is true, should we tax junk food like cigarettes, $8.00 big mac? Should we have a tax on all dangerous sports (hockey)? My opinion the less State the better. We are all adults it's time to grow up. It's too easy for people to be irresponsible and never grow up when you have a nanny.

Hey Bonam, Paternalism refers to a policy that prevents others from doing harm to themselves or directs them morally. I just threw up some examples quickly so some might be questionable or need better definement (if that's a word).abortion which might be questionable. But I think the rest fit.
