It is a statement of fact. There is tons of scientific evidence showing that morality is hardwired into humans at birth.There’s tons of scientific data. Humans are hardwired at birth to be moral.Cool story, bro.And how would you recommend doing that?We got exactly what we deserved.Not a fan of privatized profits and socialized losses. So no.She does have a point. This is not the education that they are going into extreme debt for. Many other businesses are reimbursing members for time lost or services not rendered.
Just because they are idiots paying $100K for a fucking drama degree, it doesn't make their complaint any less valid.
Stop! Hold your horses back!
Еhe fact that PERSONALLY you consider ballet an idle thing and unworthy, and a woman’s body unworthy of public admiration does not mean that it is necessary to violate the existing "high moral" of the current American society, which corrupt journalists and other propagandists are talking so obsessively about?. Fortunately, things have not yet reached the insanity of creating a ballet of homosexuals!
I have three questions for you (as usual, I initially pose 3 questions to my opponents):
- Is it fair that the government "returns" the losses from the so-called "pandemic" to corporations, and the PROFITABLE private universities that cannot provide quality training refuse to do this to students?
- Do you know that EXCLUSIVELY talented children study at this faculty, as a rule, from poor families, and that after the performance the ballerinas squeeze the blood from the lining of the sheep’s wool?
- Do you know that on average, a graduate of a university in America needs 20 or more years to repay a loan + interest?
Please do not evade and directly answer the questions
It’s a crying shame the liberal elites are making ginormous sums of money off of knowledge which should be free given the internet. So yes.
And lastly, yes. It’s a crying shame.
Occupy! Occupy! Occupy!

There are laws of interaction.
IF one system (or a subsystem - a common oppressed people, in our case) is opposed by another, hostile system of high organization, then you can defeat or at least neutralize its negative influence only by countering it with another one a similar OR higher degree of organization, including the “quality” of its constituent elements (in our case, people's minds);
The hostile system is controlled by well-educated, highly professional mercenaries working in the field of primary, secondary and higher education, in the field of mass media (newspapers, radio, TV, journalism, the Internet), in the field of power control and mass behavior management;

America does not need (yet!) Socialism in the GENUINE, but not the distorted meaning of the concept. WHAT IS NEEDED - it is to return to the socio-economic conditions in which America was before the "Riot of Bosses", canceling its present-day exclusively "caste" nature; that is, CANCEL the decisions of the 95th Congress of 1978, which it stole America of "circle of virtue" from the thriving American people.
It is necessary to enlighten a poorly educated, "brainwashed", intimidated, “clogged”, constantly deceived population with the artificially created uncritical thinking. The Internet is not good here - "THEY" can turn it off any day ...

New research supports the understanding that all people are born with a sense of good and bad. What does that say about altruism, community, and the capacity to kill one another?www.google.com
The desire to kill one of your kind without an extraordinary reason is not a normal psychological attribute of Homo sapiens, as of a number of higher animals. As a rule, this is either an accident or extreme circumstances, such as the protection of oneself, one's family, one's female and young, and the social environment (country).
I would not want to speculate without absolutely reliable scientific data regarding the fact that a person is born with "the same amount of positive and negative." Moreover, I will say that genetic predisposition cannot be ignored.
And in society, a social predisposition is forming. Look at our story of the murder of one hundred million owners of this land - Native Indians - no one "suffers." No one repents. The result is a psychological "predisposition" to a tolerance to the murder of "OTHER" - Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria.
No less dangerous for society is a stable attitude that economic injustice is the norm. I know some of these one percent - they really think so, they hate political economists and sociologists because of the idea of equality and deceive the rest of the population, spreading slander about the most humanistic idea - the communist one - which threatens their elite state.
Acceptance of the idea that the "poor" and "rich" is NORMAL, and this is a question of psychological, at least inadequacy.
I'll read the text about socialism...I expect there, as a philosopher and political economist, many "surprises"
THAT is NOT a discussion. Make links and excerpts from texts, But not pastors at Lincoln’s latest model.
I think that you heard in the church in the sermons of pastors that a person is BORN GOOD. This is not true. He is born neither good nor evil. Although we can agree that since there is no natural anger in him, he is kind from birth.
No, and that is also not so. Psychologists who study child development note the tendency of children to torture animals. Adults punish them this or that way, explaining that animals experience pain. If a child is not a pathological moral monster, he understands what pain is, that he caused sufferings, that it is wrong, that inflicting pain is TABU.
Plato believed that a man could only become good by knowing the truth, and he could not know the truth without being good. This shows to be somewhat of a paradoxical argument.
Aristotle had a different theory regarding the goodness of man. Aristotle claimed that the good man was the norm and the measure of ethical truth.
But Aristotle concludes that there is no universal good. Aristotle must now fashion his own interpretation of what he calls the "highest" good. It is what people must reach. The highest good is ultimately the aim of all actions.
Aristotle tells us that our function is to live and to do what we do humanly. We have a reason, we act and we don't react. All fashions of human nature and actions have to be lived thoughtfully from within. One is accountable and must act for one's own reasons and not another's. In essence, the function of man is to live ethically.
All free males are born with the potential to become ethically virtuous and practically wise, but to achieve these goals they must go through two stages:
-during their childhood, they must develop the proper habits;
-and then, when their reason is fully PROPERLY developed, they must acquire practical wisdom (phronêsis).
Ethical virtue is fully developed only when it is combined with practical wisdom. A low-grade form of ethical virtue emerges in us during childhood as we are repeatedly placed in situations that call for appropriate actions and emotions; but as we rely less on others and become capable of doing more of our own thinking, we learn to develop a larger picture of human life, our deliberative skills improve, and our emotional responses are perfected. Like anyone who has developed a skill in performing a complex and difficult activity, the virtuous person takes pleasure in exercising his intellectual skills, in doing good. Furthermore, when he has decided what to do, he does not have to contend with internal pressures to act otherwise. He does not long to do something that he regards as shameful; and he is not greatly distressed at having to give up a pleasure that he realizes he should forego.
Are there people with deviations in man's morals and actions, deviations in understanding good and striving for good (it includes good for others. You cannot be good if achieving your good brings evil to others!)
Aristotel answers positively.
He places those who suffer from such internal disorders into one of three categories:
- (A) Some personalities, having reached a decision about what to do on a particular occasion, experience some counter-pressure brought on by an appetite for pleasure or anger, or some other emotion; and this countervailing influence is not completely under the control of reason.
(1) Within this category, some are typically better able to resist these counter-rational pressures than is the average person. Such people are not virtuous, although they generally do what a virtuous person does. Aristotle calls them “continent” (enkratês).
But (2) others are less successful than the average person in resisting these counter-pressures. They are “incontinent” (akratês).In addition,
-(B) there is a type of agent who refuses even to try to do what an ethically virtuous person would do, because he has become convinced that justice, temperance, generosity and the like are of little or no value. Such people Aristotle calls evil (kakos, phaulos).
He assumes that evil people are driven by desires for domination and luxury, and although they are single-minded in their pursuit of these goals, he portrays them as deeply divided, because their pleonexia—their desire for more and more—leaves them dissatisfied and full of self-hatred.
The evil person, teaches Aristotel, may wholeheartedly endorse some evil plan of action at a particular moment, but over the course of time, Aristotle supposes, he will regret his decision, because whatever he does will prove inadequate for the achievement of his goals .
I will add that this usually happens in prison, as happened to Weinstein, or those facing the death penalty. [/SIZE]
However, once they are free again, most often they will do the same again: the matrix of their virtue is incorrigibly corrupted.

ARE you SURE you are talking about SOCIALISM???
I see almost ALL the features of OUR society.
And why do happy people living in FULL ACQUISITION should beg an unknown god for something? And what should they beg him for ??? To provide them with rubber gloves, masks, and disinfectant fluid ??? To get full access to free medicine ???
They have it ALL ...
Oh, maybe, to destroy the bank debt system? Inequality? Poverty?
Or ask God that the man whose heart stopped is taken not to the morgue, but to the intensive care unit ???
