  1. Some of you may have read my previous topic where I have described my current career situation. https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/45179-im-a-police-officerhelp/?hl=%2Bpolice+%2Bofficer I have been thinking for a long time about this and I am now proud to announce that I have decided to liberate my consciousness from the moral implications of being a Police Officer. Yes - I am quitting. Undoubtedly, this will have a huge impact on my life. I have a degree in Criminology which I have chosen for the very purpose of being able to advance through the ranks quicker, which of course now becomes useless. Also, having to pay off around £30000 for that degree and not having a very clear idea where to go from here isn't very motivating to say the least . I need a new job, that's for sure. Any advice on possible career paths is highly appreciated! The bottom line is - whatever happens, I will not regret my decision .
  2. http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2015/10/13/jennifer-lawrence-lenny-essay-hollywood-gender-pay-gap It's all over the news.
  3. I would love to see what you guys think about Jennifer's essay about sexism. Do you think it's a case of black and white sexism or is there a different explanation? Let me know what you think
  4. That's why I ask on this forum
  5. I've watched Stefan's intro to philosophy... it's amazing.
  6. They look promising. Have you done them yourself?
  7. Hey, I was wondering whether someone could recommend something along the lines of "online course in philosophy". I want to learn more about philosophy starting from the basics. Cheers!
  8. Pm me your YouTube name, I'll subscribe
  9. dm63: What are you thinking of doing in order to spread it? A YouTube channel?
  10. Now the question is - Who's got dirt on her? Who made her change her mind...
  11. Also, 5 minute videos similar to the one below are great, simple, easy to follow and entertaining. Would be nice to create more of those introductory videos
  12. Oh man, title was a bit misleading, thought you're looking for some lovin'
  13. Unless your relative who passed away specifically mentioned that your cousin should not get the money until he proved himself then your uncle should not be withholding the money from him. You say that your uncle isn't exactly a reasonable guy - how sure are you that he will not spend the money himself? On the other hand, if your cousin is self destructive, then I think it could be reasonable in certain cases to withhold money from such person for their own good. You wouldn't give money to a drug addict, not because you don't think they deserve it, but because you know that they will self-destruct. Those are just my thoughts of course. My heartfelt condolences.
  14. You can hardly expect anything else.
  15. Stefan has a recording of himself singing Pink Floyd- wish you were here in the gold donator section already
  16. A show that uses a pretty face? - Are you saying that Stefan isn't sexy enough? I understand what you are saying, it's important to get as many viewers as possible, however, would you like to date a person who only pretends to be a certain way just to be with you? Stefan doesn't pretend, he preaches what he believes in and knows is right. Stefan is all about maximizing the pleasure for the viewers - That's why FDR doesn't advertise. Sure he sometimes shouts, gets angry and frustrated about certain subjects, I don't think it's a bad thing, it shows that he is dedicated and passionate. FDR does a lot of presentations on topics that are currently hot. They get a lot of views on YouTube. Last time I checked, Stefan's channel gains 1000 subscriptions every 2 days, it's not bad, it's a snowball effect and we're gaining speed! I understand and admire your passion and eagerness to spread the word of truth and virtue Welcome to the forum!
  17. So it begins, favouring migrants over their own citizens. I have heard somebody mentioning this already on the call-in show.. I took it with a grain of salt. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/10/01/second-german-woman-evicted-from-home-to-make-way-for-migrants/
  18. "NO MEANS NO UNLESS YOU’RE A MAN; THEN YOU ARE DISEMPOWERING ME WHEN I WANT SEX." Oh boy...
  19. Turns out that £25m is just a little part promised to Jamaica. Turns out that UK will provide around £300m for Jamaican infrastructure
  20. Jamaica is calling for the UK to pay reparations for slavery. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/29/jamaica-calls-britain-pay-billions-pounds-reparations-slavery?CMP=share_btn_fb Cameron kindly declined. Although knowing him, it isn't certain, I mean, soon they might call him words like "racist" and he will have no other choice but to give in. "We will have to stand firm and decline to pay the reparations!" ..................... "However, here, have this £25M prison, so that we have a place to send Jamaican prisoners" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34398014
  21. Is there a way of listening to Stefan's books through audible? Or download the audio version?
  22. Hey all! So I've been having discussions about issues such as government and taxation. I often hear a claim that governments cannot steal and taxation is not a theft. However, when I apply the exactly same reasoning to a different scenario, for example a person or a different organisation doing exactly the same as the government (enforcing taxation through the initiation of use of force) suddenly the reasoning reverses and such a thing becomes theft in the eyes of the person I am debating. I attempt to reason through rules of non contradiction (something cannot be and not be at the same time) but I usually get the following responses: "government is different" - Therefore theft only applies to individuals or private organisations. "the extraction of money is voluntary" - You don't have to work if you don't want to. You actually want the government to spend the money on roads, education etc. "money are extracted at source and if you do not receive the money in the first place, then they cannot be taken away from you, therefore not theft" - (This is the case in the UK where you don't do your own taxes but rather the employer pays them from your salary before you get a chance to sniff them). So if you don't get the money in the first place it isn't theft. "There is no right and wrong" or "There is no truth, it depends" - Therefore taxation is morally good and not theft, whereas extraction of property without consent by something or someone else than a government is theft. Is there a way of combating such claims or have I entered a realm of sophistry from which there is no return? What is the best way to argue from here and point out the contradiction?
  23. Kevin, could you provide me with some examples of "X is to A, as Y is to B" analogies? Cheers!
  24. Yeah thanks a lot guys, you see when you are a professional donut eater (cop) like myself you have to start from scratch. I appreciate all the comments!!
  25. Sorry a bit of hard to recognise sarcasm over the internet when the sarcasm consists of clever sounding words
