Start a new thread about it. It's a worthy topic.

And in a way that is very America-centric, about the problem that is worldwide.

But... it's a Catholic Monarchy, where the king rules by Divine Right! Are you implying that people would actually... rebel... against the decrees of their king? :eek: How can you even think of such a thing? Silly joking aside, yes, @The Name of Love, you do come across at times as talking as...

They are not attacking the same form of it. The Left is happy to demand equality when it means themselves getting more than they already have. But the moment it would mean giving up some of what they have, for the benefit of others, then equality is denounced as something bad.

It leads too easily to a lowest-common-denominator mindset. If everyone is supposed to be equal, then what do you do about the fact that in real life, some people work harder, or are more intelligent, or more creative, or more empathetic, and so on?

Well, there's your problem. That, combined with the social expectation that you must become economically successful before you can take a mate. If young people could pair off and marry while still in college, a lot of social problems would be less.

Don't misrepresent me like that. I am NOT saying that because they had slavery back in Biblical times therefore it's fine to have it today. I'm simply rejecting any attempt to guilt me other others here over things beyond our control. Given a choice, we should obviously support companies that...

Back in the days of the Roman Empire, just about everything was produced by slaves. The New Testament didn't forbid believers from buying things in the shops. But some things, such as sexual exploitation of children, are intrinsically exploitative and enslaving - as well as being grossly...

I notice a distinct lack of fangs compared to the original. So don't tread on her, or else... what? Would be more convincing if she had a couple of revolvers mounted on that belt.

I think I've had occasion to complain of this before - people like the author you refer to treat Protestantism as if it were all one thing, which they equate with Calvinism/Puritanism. That is not at all accurate. Guenon seems to inhabit a world in which people like myself, and a whole lot of...

We'll still be around when you cool down. :)

Well, that escalated quickly. I think there are some Leftist traits that I left out of that list: Aggressive judgementalism - dismissing anyone who argues against them as evil. Double standards - demanding that others follow a standard that they don't apply to themselves. Calling me a "child of...

Well, you don't say... Seeing you cite the behaviour of the secularist elite as a precedent for what you want has helped crystalize something I've long pondered: how it is that politically, on my personal radar Roman Catholics "ping" as Leftists, despite their goals being superficially...
