      IIRC, J.S. Mill was Baroness Thatcher's favourite political philosopher.

      There's little evidence she actually read any of his works.

      Her religious upbringing didn't appear to help her understand the parable of the Good Samaritan for instance, despite presumably having either read it or had it read to her.

        21st Century America: a free, affluent society based on capitalism and representative government that people the world over envy and seek to emulate.

          What's wrong with Bahai They're a little annoying but completely harmless.

          I find that hard to believe. J.S. Mill was a socialist.

            It probably stems from her misunderstanding of 'utilitarian'.

            Don't forget, this is the woman who said there was no such thing as society, something which I suspect would have vastly amused the polymath genius Mill.

              The only way to explain this is that these people actually are closet Nazis

                I find it amazing you tell ME to go read the forum rules when the worst thing I have said so far is that Boris is a communist. This is the most lopsided liberally biased site I have ever seen. Even the moderators are so liberally biased to threaten conservative posters while your brethern have a hay day with the name calling. Nice to see you guys run this like an American university.

                  Your memory isn't working very well. Let me remind you:

                  The people responding on here that Kinsey was some sort of revolutionary figure that ushered in a new era are either liars, ignorant of Kinsey's experiments, or flat out in denial.
                  It appears you were calling people liars or worse.

                          The funny thing about "moderators" on the internet is that it's the only "power" they can find in their lives. Besides Ming, I've never seen a moderator that was successful in life.

                            Ah, warning doesn't count as moderator activity. I'll write that one down.

                            Question: Are we allowed to at least think someone is an idiot?
