Put simply, government has and never will create additional wealth in a society.
-While socialists are too confident in government's abilities to create wealth and prosperity, many libertarians overlook the fact that government, can increase the total level of happiness in society. Transferring a modest amount of wealth (by taxing very wealthy people, which is different from taking incomes) to the truly needy (most welfare dollars go to middle class households, wealthy households and corporation and farms), it would create more utility then would be lost through the taxation (taxation always is a cost, it is never a benefit by itself like some on the left seem to believe).
-We should be like Europe in terms of political speech. The terms fascist and socialists have become slurs but the fact is that we have many of both in this country. Most of the hard left wing folks on MSNBC, want government to dominate the means of production, that makes you a socialist. People like O'Reilly and Hannity, who want to solve every problem with coercion and are therefore fascists, should be called that.. Because both terms have become slurs, pointing out that someone is a fascist or a socialist is considered "name calling," even though both terms are, frequently and unfortunately, the most accurate.
- (this is not very controversial on NT but in much of America it is) People who idolize America's "Founding Fathers" to the point that they want our policies to be based only on their views, are out of their minds. People like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, et al. represented one of the greatest gathering of minds and of ideas and The Constitution that they wrote and pledged to defend, is worth defending and should serve as a set of constraints and guidelines today but some people take fidelity to the Constitution too far (and usually are selective in what really matters in the thing any way) and they have distorted history by elevating the Founders to a mythological status. Furthermore, reading aloud, antiquated quotes from the Founders and drawing on a black board does not make you a vessel through which the Founders' wishes flow.
Bioshock is better than Halo and I love Halo.
Resident Evil 5 is kinda racist, not as bad as some said (usually people who did not even play the game) but between Sheva's body paint, the fact that many opponents in modern day Africa are armed with spears and the way the crowd acted before they were infected shows that the game is definitely devoid of racism.

Absurdism is a philosophy stating that the efforts of humanity to find meaning in the universe ultimately fail (and hence are absurd), because no such meaning exists, at least in relation to the individual. "The Absurd", therefore, is commonly used in philosophical discourse to refer to the clash between the human search for meaning and the human inability to find any. In this context absurd does not mean "logically impossible," but rather "humanly impossible.

- humans weren't made to be in monogamous relationships
- Valentines Day is the most biased and materialistic holiday there is, men are never appreciated besides fathers day (what if you have no kids?)
- black people are the most hated race on the planet yet every other race loves to try to immitate or be like us
- Fox News is flat out racist
- alot of people don't fully understand the complexities of rap music and will never appreciate the good it has done for society or those who are very talented at it (Nas, Jay, Lupe, Luda). Few non-rap fans actually make the effort to learn about the hip hop culture and simply judge based off the negative aspects of it
- African, Asian and European history should be taught in school just as much as US History is . Too many clueless young people in the world today
- abstinence only sex education will no longer work in this day in age
