So, using that standard of justice, the guys who hit Reginald Denny in the head with a brick.....should have been reduced to a coma from a brick (or worse even) as well. Interesting........  [Read More]

Not much too really understand about terrorists. They have an agenda, generally speaking, and don't blanch at the use of violence to get their way. Now, understanding their attraction, and depth of commitment, to a particular cause is something else...  [Read More]

If they started it, they deserved to be punished. I'm going for the "eye for an eye" policy. That would certainly make for a more robust and sensible foreign policy approach than what we've currently got. Still, guess it's a good thing the...  [Read More]

I didn't "accuse" you specifically of anything in that regard. Nor did I paint everyone on either side as raging nihilists looking to destroy their own societies. ;) If you'd like, I can redact "you" from "you guys", as...  [Read More]

This forum especially underwent a pretty major series of changes in the last year and, I think, many members have gotten a lot more spiteful and mean than ever before. Both Fox and MSNBC are enjoying their manipulation and spin of fact for their own...  [Read More]

No Dubya, you don't get to decide what is rhetorical and what's not. And we can see that public ed has been soooo much better than the private sector at educating people on the value of "2x2". Btw, what question do you refer to b/c GTA does...  [Read More]

I don't really see how the healthcare bill is completely destroying the current system, it's simply adding a few more regulations and standards on private healthcare, as well as requiring all citizens to have healthcare. As to the abuse of Medicare;...  [Read More]

I don't think in the entire history of the US, the government has ever "shrunk", regardless of who's in power. So, naturally, we should just sit by and let it get ever larger, right? Frankly, I'd rather have a "small" and useless...  [Read More]

No it doesn't, b/c there are more than 38 nations in the world and apparently many nonindustrialized and poorer countries offer "free" hc. You're merely conflating the terms. Besides, your argument was "modern and industrialized",...  [Read More]

@Jae--Well, basic may be about all the system will be able to afford, and even w/o insurance I can get that pretty cheaply as it is. Part of the reason health insurance is so damn expensive in some places is b/c of state allowed virtual monopolies. I...  [Read More]

Sorry, but when nearly* every nation that resides on the HDI's list of "developed" states has a universal health care system, that's obviously an indicator that they're doing something right. Even when nations stacked at the very bottom, su...  [Read More]

Well, again, if the state wants to do that...... But seriously, spare the drivel about how this legislation is about helping "poor" people. It's nothing more than the govt wanting to increase it's power over everyone, veiled by claims of al...  [Read More]

So far all the arguments I’ve seen saying that it is unconstitutional have precedence and have been upheld in prior decisions. The forced purchase of auto insurance has been going on at the state level since the 1970’s. The argument, as...  [Read More]
