Because medical advice (like legal or financial advice) can really harm you, so it should not be doled out by just anyone with a screen name on a message board.

Whoever is a mod, please enforce the rule on civility. Several users here post some extremely uncivil comments and never have repercussions for it, nor have the offending material removed.

Socialists aren't opposed to personal property, just private capital owning the means of production. The mechanism of social ownership could be directly owned by the workers or could be owned by the state.

You seem to have misunderstood her point: the Japanese can quickly build a nuclear weapon if they were threatened. They can keep constitutional pacifism until then.

It's also not inane to suggest that the war encourages them to have a nuclear weapon: if you were being repeatedly attacked, wouldn't you develop a nuclear weapon? Why wouldn't you?
