Knowing Laird's politics relatively well - I doubt he comes under this category! He's a good guy!

So you're against morning after pills? And do you think women should, or shouldn't have the right to abortions? We're in agreement more then you think we are here but abortions will happen if they're legal or illegal, and I don't think saying women can never have them is right - it is their...

I don't get why you keep comparing unborn foetuses to adult humans? I accept their authority because Veganism is about suffering right? If they don't feel pain, haven't got a fully developed brain etc then it's hard to argue an unborn foetus at the early stages can really suffer. Abortions are a...

That's the criteria the medical community uses. An undeveloped foetus also isn't the same as an adult human!

For me, unless there is a medical reason, you should only have an abortion before the foetus is capable of feeling pain: http://www.livescience.com/54774-fetal-pain-anesthesia.html I definitely think abortion before the foetus can feel pain should be legal though, it being illegal simply...

*Until they escape Maybe work on that grammar a little ;).

I like this tactic, when you realise it can no longer be argued that Sweden isn't doing well as a country, argue that it's not that left wing anyway!

Depends on the subject and the views. If you're an immigrant in America, would you have empathy with the views of Richard Spencer? It's easy to tell people to have empathy if their views don't personally affect ourselves. When it comes to some of these things the consequences are very severe...

How do you cope with all that money, workers rights, extra pay and free education? Sounds super Orwellian to me. What else do you have to deal with!?!

I have visited Denmark, dated a girl from Finland, and yesterday I befriended another girl from Finland. Her idea of not having freedom? Regulations for opening a business in your garage! Tell us about Sweden, I'd like to know what it's like to live there from someone who actually does live there!

What a nasty passive aggressive comment, with a complete lack of self awareness. Me and others who disagree apparently don't listen to the evidence, but when I posted you the freedom index showing all the Scandinavian countries are ranked as very free, you dismissed it. Yet YouTube videos are...

Thank you it posting this - I found it rather moving.

Nope, all Scandinavian countries are amongst the top 20 most free, politically and economically, countries in the world. Shouting, screaming, insisting and posting YouTube videos doesn't change that. I know you're desperate not to be wrong but on pretty much every measure Scandinavian countries...

Enrique - What are you talking about?

Have you ever considered, that counties with more Socialism or Social policies might just be more free? If you read the article it measures political and economic freedom. And not being able to homeschool doesn't mean your country isn't generally a pretty free one. I don't agree with that by...

So I looked into where Scandinavian countries are ranked in terms of freedom. They all come in the top 20, above the United States: http://redalertpolitics.com/2015/08/19/america-20th-free-country-world/ Finland is the 3rd most free country, Denmark 4th,Sweden 10th, Norway 11th. If they are...

I think you guys need to get off the Internet, and speak to people from these countries, or go visit them like I have, before making such absurd claims. Like that Scandinavia has weekly riots or there is massive unrest. These countries have low crime, high employment, great welfare systems...

Fair enough, your first link didn't work by the way and your Forbes link is pretty biased especially in tone. I agree just throwing money at the problem isn't the way to go. Inaction on climate change also costs money, as opposed to the other problems it costs...

Enrique I'm sorry but your whole post is ridiculous and plain wrong. I sometimes forget how powerful anti-Socialism propaganda can be. Thankfully another poster who replied to us both successfully rebutted you.

Of course it's a construct. These terms are invented by humans. I prefer the 'political compass, which uses right/left and authoritarian/libertarian.
