    Two of the founders of Austrian economics were Fabian Socialists.

    The German economy during the Nazi period was a mess. Rationing of consumer goods in German prior to the outset of the war is not indicative of a healthy economy. The first thing that Germany did after invading Western Europe was to haul gold bullion over to the German Central Bank. Germany was...

    Socialist Hollande elected president of France

    I'd like to whether any taxpayers were actually paying that rate. There is the stated tax rate, and then there is the effective tax rate once you take into account various deductions.

    Islam Q&A & Discussion

    Stop ignoring the scripture. It does not mention different densities of salt water. I will ask the question what does 'sweet' mean in the context of that verse? Sun sets in a pool of muddy water.... Lack of contradiction? Ha how much islamist cool aid have you been drinking? No the assumption...

    Islam Q&A & Discussion

    Do you condone stoning or not? The rates of it use are neither here nor there. The barrier is not a scientific miracle. You are fudging the verse, it makes reference to 'sweet' water aka fresh water, not different levels of saline density. Thus the verse is in reference to fresh water and salt...

    Islam Q&A & Discussion

    Secondly Musa, if Muslims form majority governments around the world, should Christians and jews have to pay more tax than muslims in exchange for muslim protection? Should, sharia courts be implemented? Should we teach creationism at schools?

    Islam Q&A & Discussion

    Did you read the sentence after that? I noted the Islamic tradition and the concluded that either way, the Abrahamic god has some serious issues.

    Islam Q&A & Discussion

    Yet god asked Abraham to kill sacrifice his own son. Interesting how Allah makes and bend the rules as he pleases whilst at the same time not living up to his most merciful title. And even more ironic is that the atheist had to point that out to the believer, that god allowed Abraham to kill...

    Islam Q&A & Discussion

    Tell me what does Islam say about atheists (I am one), the weight of women's evidence in legal proceedings or the virtue of killing your own son to please god? How should we deal with adulterers or homosexuals? Yes, the west can learn so much from Islam.

    Its worse than we thought: tuition fees to rise to £9,000

    No Scottish education scroungers in exchange for no North Sea Oil? ;) Or alternately move to Scotland and study there.

    Its worse than we thought: tuition fees to rise to £9,000

    It all justs depends on the system. For example, if students have to pay the 9,000 uk pounds upfront then it is likely to become a barrier to students from lower income households. However, if the students have to repay their debts once in the workforce, I really don't see how unfair it is. I...

    Joe Biden: Great ideas of the last 200 years needed government

    Err no. Empirical research by James Bessen and Michael J. Meurer "Do patents perform like property?" (2008) suggests that patent law does not have any positive relationship on the rate of innovation.

    "What is a Libertarian?" - John Stossel Show

    Excellent point. I used to be comfortable with corporations, but now I view them as nothing more than a creation of the state (legal fiat) and bastardisation of the free market. Put it this way, limited liability and a legal responsibility to meet the needs of shareholders first, can cause some...

    Mohammad Never Existed

    Interesting. Another religion that may have a mythical archetype founder. Are we humans that predictable?.... Yes. Even if Mohammed existed, the historical accuracy as to the existence of Jesus has huge consequences as to the validity of the Koran. Put it this way, if Jesus didn't exist (which I...

    Hello Kaya, my apologies for taking so long to get back to you. At the moment I am in my final year of law school, so it has been quite hectic. I hope that you are keeping ok. Did you get a temp ban? I hope that is finished. Well I enjoy the debates (or is it agreement?) we have, especially on...

    No Muslim No Cry…

    Your premise assumes that persecution is the underlying cause. I disagree, during the Mohammed cartoons controversy many of the protestors made it evidently clear why they were engaging in such actions...... And it wasn't because 'some western guy stole my great grandfather's plot of land'.
