If these gays would just shut their mouths and go away...no one would say a thing.

We're sick of you soliciting our kids.

Certainly, being childless, can reduce your sense of the future.

He was also a pederast. What we today call a pedophile.

It’s all about his quote, “In the long run we’re all dead.”

So Keynes believed that Puritan values inclined people to embrace an economic theory (capitalism), but the Ferguson episode teaches us that it is now beyond outrageous to suggest that Keynes’s rejection of Puritan values inclined him to embrace a slightly different economic theory (Keynesianism)? Got it.

Its silly to maintain that Keynes' values had no effect on his value system. Its just silly to say.

Most of the people defending his value system in fact agree with his value system. Big surprise.

I don’t give a carp if he was homosexual or not. Millions have suffered because of his wrong-headed theories.

Is it more revealing that deviant examples of human nature always show up in the left’s political ‘philosophy’, or that so many people fall for it..

The success of any species depends on the propensity to procreate and in a species as complex as humans a trait to nurture and care for the helpless newborns even if providing for them causes the parent deprivation. According to Darwinian law those with traits they do not lead to successful procreation are gradually eliminated since their consumption of resources inhibits the survival of a species. From an evolutionary perspective not only is homosexuality not normal but left to natural selection does not have much of a future or concern for the future. Homosexuality has far more to do with social imprinting (eg childhood rape, seduction, abnormal family dynamic etc )than any purported genetic cause.

Not That There's Anything Wrong With That

.. other than biological suicide, ya mean ?

Of course, with a cheerleading fellatio corps (enemedia), spineless slugs like the BSA national cretins, the pandemic of PC appeasers, etal, etal faggot recruitment/victimization is likely at an all time high.

IMHO, Keynesian economics is “gay” too. Both involve a lot of bending over.

Why are church officials who have abused young boys never referred to as “homosexuals” by the MSM?

“if you are gay or childless, you cannot care about future generations nor society.”

A logical proposition- if you have no stake in the future, then there is no reason to be concerned.

After all, Keynes famously proclaimed ”in the long run we’re all dead.”


I never liked this saying. As the author notes, it only applies if you care only for yourself—not for your descendants or country.

Then he stands up and says, "No *I* am Spartacus..!" And you know what? It was fabulous, and I just, like, got ALL these tingles up my leg...!

He was TOTALLY amazing.

You had to be there, seeing it --TOTALLY amazing.

Anyone who has children has given hostages to the future. It's utterly selfish not to think of the welfare of those hostages.
