If transgenderism is a mental disorder, shouldn't the treatment be some sort of counseling rather than surgery?

How did you reach the conclusion that this is a physical disability rather than a mental one?

Would you consider anorexia (not the weight loss itself, but the distorted self-image that drives...

I think a society without any stigma attached to sexual orientation would result in more homosexuals and bisexuals living openly. It would quite possibly result in people being more willing to...

I live in California and I'm not a liberal, which means my vote in presidential elections is effectively worthless at this point in time.

People would know the difference because gender wouldn't cease to exist in this hypothetical world. Heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality would still exist. People just wouldn't care about...

I wouldn't necessarily mind being a father, and I tend not to care what society thinks, but I am heterosexual because I am sexually attracted to women rather than men. Societal pressure may prevent...

I'm guessing this is probably because girl-on-girl pictures/videos have two people of a gender that a heterosexual man is attracted to.

Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand and L. Neil Smith, because they incorporate a philosophical outlook I agree with into stories I enjoy reading.

I don't know how something like this hasn't been overturned by the courts.

I agreed with you until you got to the part about how the government should pay more attention to education and serving a public need. The government doesn't have any business in our lives unless we...

Socialism.

Gun control.

Illegal immigration.

You criticize Baron Max for allegedly lacking "basic human decency", but then base your argument on potential costs of taxpayer money and lost revenue to the state?

The two obvious questions:
...

The Eagles.

I'm not buying it. It still sounds like you are punishing the rich for the "crime" of being more successful than someone else.

Hypothetical question:

A person making $30,000 per year goes to a...

So the guy making $1.5 million should be punished for not making as little money as the dude squeaking by on $250 per week? The millionaire owes a higher percentage of his life to the government...

The same percentage of their income, yes.

Are you saying it's fair to make one person forfeit, say, 40 percent of his or her income to the government and make another give up only 10 percent of...

A flat tax is a fair tax. Everyone pays the same percentage of their income. It doesn't get any more fair than that.

Why shouldn't wages be determined by the market; supply and demand?

Are you sure? My hope is to live in a nation that truly respects individual rights (in an Ayn Rand sort of way). Do communists, fascists and Islamic terrorists have this same hope? I think not. ...

Thanks for all the information, everyone.

Will the fact that I use a Mac instead of a PC make any difference in how all these programs work or whether they work at all?

Does anyone have an...

...what kind of software should I use?

I am computer literate as far as using a computer is concerned, but I know nothing about programming languages or any of that stuff. I would need something...

I live in a smaller sized town, and so far the death toll for this tsunami would be the equivalent of three or four (or maybe even five, depending on what the death toll is this minute) times the...

I had an interesting dream experience many years ago, and I wanted to know how it should be classified.

I'm not going to bore you with all the details (though I can be more specific if you want),...

I agree. If someone murders an innocent person, I don't give a shit how or why they chose their victim. They should be set up on a blind date with "old sparky".

I made my first trek into cyberspace in the spring of 1996.
