If when Skyride started they were that much better than their competitors why did they feel it necessary to buy area codes for 1-800-SKYDIVE far outside of where there DZ was near and not reveal their actual location to potential customers and create all the fake DZ websites?

Do you really believe that Social Security is "working"? If it were working, it would be earning a positive return on the largest investment fund ever created in human history. Or at least it would still have some of it's initial capital left. Social Security makes Bernie Madoff look like a kid stealing candy from a grocery store. The fact it's still at this point somewhat solvent considering what it's original design parameters were is astonishing. Ironically the illegal alien worker problem causing so many issues with other programs is actually helping social security. You can take 15-20 deductions on your W-2 and not have any taxes withheld by changing SS #'s numbers every few years but you can't withhold the social security portion. You also can't collect off multiple phony SS #'s. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

While self preservation and not giving up are good qualities, so is quality of life. If I was in a situation where I realized that if on the remote chance I survived I'd be permanently mentally and/or physically injured. I think I'd stop trying to survive and make sure I didn't. I'd rather people simply mourn my death for a bit than be a vegetable and a burden to others for much much longer.

And that is a valid ideology. I have no disagreements with it at all. The problem is that it does not work for everyone (48 million people right now). If we all had the ability to take care of ones self and family, then OBVIOUSLY, there would be no issue with Health care. But the fact is that people do not. I have a job, I make a decent wage. I can BARELY afford health insurance. It is not good enough to say "Get off your ass and go get a job". right now, hundreds of thousands are losing their jobs through no fault of their own - they are not lazy, they are not useless nor incompetent. They are simply in an unfortunate situation. And that affects all of society and eventually will affect you and me, I believe that health care (at some level) is a fundamental human right. And we will see it happen in this country in my lifetime, whether you agree with me or not. Kudos to the insurance companies for creating health insurance. They really created their own market and such a demand for it, people feel it should now be government mandated. Granted having to see a doctor just to see another and paying $15 per pill for tylenol in the hospital is nuts, but is paying the gov't to pay these companies to provide the above really the answer? Back when I was a kid, we didn't have health insurance. You got sick, you went to the doctor and you paid via a check or cash. If you had something major and you had to go to the Emergency Room, you dipped into your "rainy day" money. Maybe you had insurance that partially covered big injuries. Then the insurance companies started stepping in. Suddenly that basic doctor visit now cost people without insurance much more because they negotiated lower rates. So people started going to the ER (purposely abbreviated) because they couldn't afford the doctors. Well since the ER couldn't not treat them, they had to raise their prices across the board. More people then started getting insurance. Doctors got tired of getting squeezed so they became specialists and the whole PCP thing started. Also have you noticed doctor don't cure things anymore, they only treat them? Medicine is a business, a very big and very profitable one. People are deluding themselves if they think gov't healthcare for all will make it any less of one.

Scenario: Commercial plane breaks up and everyone is ejected. One guy I know said he'd fly up to someone tumbling and correct their body position. Once done and they were falling stable he'd yell in their ear. "You're gonna be okay now!!!" When they'd look at him with hope in their eyes or yell back "Really?" He'd yell back "Noooo!!!" Then fly to the next one. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

How exactly do you measure this? kids are a burden on society. It costs thousands of dollars per year to educate them. Nevermind all that driving them to soccer practice (GREENHOUSE GASES!). We educate them so they contribute to society as adults. Public colleges are similar - short term investment with the hope of societal reward later. People who get unemployed or hurt collect money for a period of time. In this case, the money is typically paid up front in unemployment and disability taxes. Then when they recover, they go back to paying in. It's very difficult to define the transition point between contributer and leech. First of all, this is about government handouts, not charities or people supporting their family members (kids, parents, etc.) or firends voluntarily. Non monetary programs that all use, like education, would not be effected. Think of it like this: * If you pay in (taxes), you can take out if needed what you put in. You just pay it back later, with interest. * Beyond what you have already contributed, it would be like a loan. The amount you'd get would be a combination of what it is for and the likelihood of payback in the future. Granted, there would still be some financial scrutiny for both above, but not the level of someone that shows no hope of ever being a contributor or ever again.

Unfortunately simply removing the funding is not practical as you have multiple generations that have been depending on them. Sadly, the only real solution is to stop the breeding cycle. Rights and government assistance should not mix. I have 0 problem with a woman having 18 kids or taking fertility treatments to have 8 at once. I have 0 issue with a CEO of a private or public company making $4 billion a year and paying someone $120,000 a year just to wash his balls. You want to spend $2000 on 22" rims for your Toyota Corolla or throw yourself out of an airplane for fun? Have at it. That is, until you take a dime of government assistance. At that point, you're not spending your money anymore, your spending other peoples. You're now a burden on society, not a contributor. So additional rules can now be levied against you: * No or no more kids * No fancy corporate perks or extravagent salaries * No extravagent purchases * Basic food staples only * Intense oversight and scrutiny Sounds unfair? Good. Because it's not supposed to be. Don't like it? Stop taking government funds. Once you are a contributor again and not a burden, feel free to do whatever you want. Note: The above only addresses government funded programs. Assistance from private programs and charities would not be subjected to these rules as those are voluntary contributions.
