All three statements can’t be true, since they’re contradictory.

I wish people valued their integrity more than their life.

You don’t add anything to the conversation. And to converse with you would be a waste of my time, and everyone who would take the time to read the garbage that you vomit onto this site via your keyboard.

Ability and willingness are separate, but kind of linked in some ways.

You can want to fly, but be unable.
You can eat a turd, but be unwilling.

Willingness doesn’t cancel ability, but willingness can affect whether the ability is exercised.

Now, philosophically there is the idea that the will or your desires is tied to what you do. You…[Read more]

Yes.

A business should be able to refuse service for any reason they want.

It’s a private business.

I’m not judging anyone or claiming to be a “righteous judge”, I’m just correcting your misquotation.

Who pays for it? And is the payment of such “help” forced on the populace?

@Jear77

Are you talking about the 3 boxes from the comic?

The one attached?

See, the fallacy with the comic is that it perpetuates the idea that there’s just a bunch of free boxes.

The boxes aren’t free, they’re earned. So all 3 of the individuals have the equal opportunity to earn boxes, and earn enough boxes so that they can be elevated…[Read more]

@Jear77 Equity is not the better of the two………

Equity means you take from people who have money, and give it to other people to balance the universe’s injustices.

This argument does take freedom into question, seeing as how to have a system of equity, those who have will get theirs taken away to give to those who don’t have. Meaning,…[Read more]

Teaching.

Work in for profit education institutions and abolish the Department of Education. If that happens I’d think much more highly of teachers.

We burn it with fire.
