3329 Escaping Planet Small - Call In Show - June 24th, 2016

Question 1: [1:59] - “In developing a relationship with my fiancé, I'm no longer friends with some of my girlfriends. My best friends and I were friends for 10 years, I met them in college. I met my fiancé last year through an online dating website. He is a loyal, empathetic and good man. I uprooted from the states to Australia, where he is from, so we could live abroad together. My girlfriends stopped being friends with me because I couldn't be in their weddings on account of moving abroad to develop a relationship with him. One of my friends also said she didn't like that I've changed and that I've become analytical, so she stopped being friends with me.”“I'm challenged by developing new or past female friendships because I've discovered conservative values, I fear attack, and I don't know what I need from these females. I do have past friends who give me emotional support, but I also want to go beyond the emotional support and talk about truth, reason, and other FDR topics.”“So I'm wondering, how do I develop female friendships in a leftist world? How do I maintain my principles, without sacrificing myself as I did in my past relationships? What is the role of female friendship?”Question 2: [1:22:35] - “How is it that the modern political left is able to claim a mantle of intellectual superiority? Is it possible to imagine a world in which political agreement is not taken as a measure of intelligence?”Question 3: [1:43:01] - “The West has been so completely infected by PC culture and identity politics that any criticism of ideologies or certain people is immediately conflated to racism, sexism, etc. Rather than foster social and cultural harmony, this blatant suppression of thought is actively strengthening real prejudice in society. You needn't look very far to know this is not limited to the UK - New Year's Eve Cologne attacks, media coverage of minority crimes, and much much more.”“If everything is true about those rape gangs in the UK, how the hell are those men getting away with such heinous crimes for so long? I get the whole fear of being labeled a racist, bureaucratic ineptitude, etc., but don't those policemen have daughters of their own? Would they not put themselves in the shoes of the parents of those children? Has the West become so weak that it cannot recognize such blatant evil expediently and rectify this injustice?Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
