Joe's Opinions

Is hypocrisy acceptable?
Disagree
10 Aug 2010
1 Point
According to wikipedia and dictionary.com, hypocrisy involves the deception of others and
Samuel Johnson is not arguing that hypocrisy is acceptable - he's arguing that it's unjust to label one who expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice as hypocritical. Maybe there's some equivocation going on in this argument. |

Is the quality of the idea a key factor in entrepreneurial success?
Neutral
12 Apr 2010
1 Point
I would suggest that a good idea is necessary but not sufficient - in other words, it's just a small part of what's needed for a successful business. And even if ideas are a dime a dozen, you need to invest in the right one.

Are our enemies innately evil?
Disagree

1 Point
It's interesting that the supporters of this position are all devoutly religous... maybe it's eaiser to believe in innate evil if you believe in a supernatural framework.
