    The Future - where are we heading?

    Let's face it, the EU will still have their tentacles in the UK because the whole Brexit thing is a fudge. If the EU gets their own way, the EU citizens residing in the UK will have different laws to the UK residents. I am not sure what the current status is on that policy. Two tier legal...

    Hate crimes - who defines hate?

    And therein lies the problem. What is irrational hate for one, is rational hate for another. Freedom fighter or terrorist? Given that, should we have hate speech laws at all? Let's take a few examples: #1. Guy in Nottingham in the UK wolf whistles at a woman. As I understand it, this is now a...

    There appears to be a battle between "freedom of speech" and "hate speech" at the moment. Who wins? Who defines hate?

    The Future - where are we heading?

    There are plenty of dystopian movies out there, set in the future with a big brother overseeing your every move. In the UK, we have a ton of CCTV cameras lining the streets, shops and offices. Yet despite these intrusions on our privacy, there is much to be hopeful about. Medical breakthroughs...

    Synchronicity

    Yes, I accept it is theoretically possible. It is also theoretically possible that someone's individual vote would change the outcome of the USA election. As an agnostic, I also accept there may be a God, or three.

    Finally trying to build a homepage!

    The problem with having a group of people in the image, is that how do you distinguish between a discussion forum and a discussion forum for thinkers?

    Finally trying to build a homepage!

    Good point! I originally wanted something like Socrates on there, but then I thought of the Patriarchy and that could be offensive to some.
