The self-contradictory part is contained in the (privative) prefix a-. One doesn't need more of a proof or certainly when, however faintly, he knows (gnosis) the positivity is there.

Being a Conservative as soon as 30 shows you have your neck redden by the Sun.

If there is so much food (obesity, say) and hunger, it is because there is a distribution problem.

Still, agnosticism is self-contradictory because in each leap of faith we make as human beings, we, however faintly, know (gnosis) the positivity is there to help and motivate us.

Your conclusion should be: people that are looking for work are not part of our readers.

Each (mental or physical) step we make as human beings is a leap of faith.

What you decry about the "religious method" is also necessary to the scientific method: assuming axioms in order to make deductions and maintaining some variables constants to learn about other ones.

I would not compare two storms while I battling one of them anyway.

People desperately looking to find a position behave much the same way than people who fake to be busy in the ones that they are lucky to have found.

Thomas Harris' novel Hannibal Lecter (badly made into the movie The Silence of the Lambs) ends with Hannibal Lecter (imagine here Omar Khadr) and the FBI agent Clarice Sterling (imagine here your daughter) living together as a couple.

Work is now done mostly by automated equipments.

"I just know, in my guts, as I go across the country, that we have an EI system that is not purpose-built for the most serious economic crisis since 1945, and we have to fix it and we have to fix it now with a temporary eligibility standard of 360 hours", Ignatieff said. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/Business/deba...0254/story.html

This number of hours doesn't make someone deserving because time is, first and foremost, linked to boredom which is, for lot of people, painfully unbearable.

Ignatieff wants to lower (and equalizes through out Canada) the number of hours needed to qualify for EI benefits. I think this would make economic sense only in the context where the present crisis would have been immediately preceded by another like crisis.

I think it is much worst than that: "Failed state" is an excuse for a more powerful state to invade and transform another country into a huge refugee camp.

Although we have stopped using the word catharsis, this phenomenon has not disappeared, it only has become more individualized relatively to Ancient Greece. A catharsis is the very sudden return of order after a scapegoat had been sacrificed.

I'll tell you what a merger is: you stifle competitors in order to hijack consumers.

I think we should concentrate on what, most specifically, distinguish the Western world from Asia: they have religious traditions where emptying oneself is the goal.

Yes. For the rich, faking hard work is the modern way to force the poor to do the dirty work out of a guilty feeling.

Sadly, I must contradict you once again. The environmental mess we are in is caused, I think, by the kind of hyperactivity that pot prevents.

A good test to know if someone produces with more effort than others is to ask is s/he fuller of hate than others.

Canadians should not elect a PM on the basis that s/he needs to expend more efforts than other candidates to represent our country.

What is economically more significant is that, for a production of the same value, working hard makes a person hungrier than using talents.

Chronic pot use to be legitimate if it is allied to chronic pain though.

Talents are natural capacities or aptitudes allowing someone to do something effortless (i.e. without work).
