Tale

Fry in a dryer. edit: $300 for a PS3? FISHY!

The way I see it Guard Dog is closer to actually having a basis for his reasoning that is more valid than rabid distrust and paranoia. Or to put it another way: Well, they way I see what Sand wants is a socialist model, which means that the government will own the healthcare system. Those who want healthcare will have to deal with ridiculous bureacracy and fill out 2 billion sheets of paperwork for a dental appointment. Sorry, Sand, but your model will only work for politicians leaving every one else without midical care. I don't see how it can be any other way.

With the way they dress? Their clothing will get caught in the spokes.

Very much enjoying Overlord with my new 360 controller. I hope more games start supporting it. I doubt I'll want to use it for FPS or RTS, but sometimes having two analog sticks is so very useful.

Then maybe its time to toss out the old Constitution and replace it something "more perfect." Something that gives it less power instead of more? That would be "more perfect."

Guys, all this arguing is exactly what the space aliens want.

I not only bought Overlord, but I bought a 360 controller just for it. I'm good with money c/d. I saved 20 on the controller by buying the regular XBox 360 controller and installing the driver via Windows Update. USB Human interface device lol

I'm merely saying that your presence is a portent that the rest of us are DOOMED, Mr. Cthulhu.

I didn't say you were doomed.

DOOMED!

With the rate of the human population is growing, that is not a problem. What are we, India? In the US, we're not experiencing the same population boon.

That is the ideal but the ideal never truly happens. Let's compare this with your suggestion. Socialism's purpose is to ensure collective wellfare. This is the ideal. The ideal never truly happens. What do we end up with? Government doing everything you claim the medical industry will do on their own. While the consumers don't even have a tiny fraction of power. As long as consumers have choice, they have power. Socialism will take away that choice, and power, completely and leave nothing.

The whole purpose of capitalism is to give consumers power in the market.

I'm tempted to side with Sand. He has what I think is a Doctor Who reference in his signature. It shows he has culture.

yeah, right. hehe... taks I guess I'll accept that. I've been messing with you since "conglomoneofascidictatorialism." I wanted to see how far I'd have to go before you just stopped arguing. You didn't even blink at the mention of Roswell. edit: not taks

It's easy to figure out. In any system there should be variation. If there isn't, then there's only one logical conclusion. Control. The government is preventing either preventing people with opossing views from getting these positions (most likely) or is preventing people in these positions from having opposing views (not impossible).

money that's already been taken from me. it's not a matter if the government has enough money already, since it came from the people paying the most taxes in the first place (of which i am included). an no, btw, the US does not already have enough tax income to pay for everyone's health care. medicare/medicaid is already measured in the hundreds of $B, full health care for everyone would be measured in the $Ts. taks The US government has far more money than it lets on. If they cut into their blag bag proft (drug traffiking) or started releasing some of the advanced technologies they gained from Roswell, it would be easy to make the difference between $B and $T.

15? How big is your estate? edit: not taks

Might just be browser differences. not taks

i've said nothing contrary to freedom. in fact, my personal policies are all about freedom: live and let live (or die, such as it may be). requiring me to pay for your insurance (you simply as a rhetorical object of the statement) infringes upon my freedom. taks A lot of people like to say that and it sounds good, it really does. But then when you think about it more, you realise that the government already gets enough money to do this already. The only reason it doesn't is because it wants to enact out the passive genocide disenfranchised and poor.

The underline doesn't show up in yours.

It's not a joke. It's a subtle parody of US congolomoneofascidictatorialism. I want you to think about that. not taks

Raining off and on since yesterday in Wylie, Texas. I'm trying to teach my cat that when it sounds like raining, it's raining. It was pouring heavily last night and he was begging to go outside. I open the door, he sees rain, he flips out and runs away from the door. 5 minutes later, still raining heavily, he's back at the door begging to go outside.

Why does taks hate freedom? not taks

You got trolled, BURN! I wouldn't mind the check though.
