Life is not an empty dream

Instead of insisting on equality as a U.S. Constitutional guarantee, the President has thrown this question back to the states. When the smoke clears, Gay Americans will realize the President’s words have gained them nothing today, and that millions of Americans in most states will continue to be denied true marriage equality. I guess the President is still more worried about losing Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia than he is in doing the right thing. What is the President saying— that he would eat a piece of cake at a gay wedding if the state the happy couple lives in allows it? Where is the leadership? While I commend him for supporting the concept of gay marriage equality, I am profoundly disappointed in the President.

People on Tumblr don’t want to hear other peoples’ opinions. They want to hear their own opinions in a different way.

It’s called confirmation bias. But it’s also kinda comforting to know you’re not the only one who has the same idea/opinion.

Can someone explain why socialism and libertarianism are paired up so much?

Ok, I got a submission as an answer. For some reason, I couldn’t publish it, so I’m posting it here. Cheers!

Socialism/Libertarianism

There are two types of socialism.
Scientific Socialism and Utopic Socialism.
Scientific Socialism is defended by Karl Marx and Engels from origin and it says that first, the people have to take the state’s power in order to take down the rulling class and implant comunism. Private propriety is abolished, the state controls the means of production and you get for free everything that you need to live. Food, Education, a place to live…etc
Utopic Socialism (or Libertarianism) is defended by Bakunin and he says that we must take down the state and implant a borderless society without states or any form of authority since each person is “self-suficient”. You basicaly are the direct owner of any production means thaat you possess and what you produce.
Ex: You have a machine that makes T-Shirts. The machine is yours and the T-Shirt is also yours. No currency’s needed.

There are other ideals in between these referred.
As you may find more about Trotskism, Maoism. Or read your self the “Comunism Manifest”, “The Capital”, Bakunin, Trotsky, Lenin, Mao, Zizek… instead of asking randomly these questions and then posting some random picture of bitch thatcher with a non-scenical phrase abour concepts that even she (that said it) or you (who posted it) undestands.

Regards.

Gay Marriage

Ok, folks. Let’s get one thing straight. The main argument against gay marriageisn’treligious. Conservatives in the news don’t argue that homosexuality is a sin.

One reason they give is that different sex parents are better for the kid. This is actually true, but 1) it’s not that big a deal 2) that can be easily fixed by having family friends around and 3) MOST STRAIGHT FAMILIES DON’T FIT THIS THEMSELVES (divorced, never married, separated, etc.)

I can’t actually remember the other reasons they gave, but they never mentioned the bible or sin or really anything of the like.

Mind you, I’m not saying I agree with them in the slightest.
