45,000 americans die every year due to lack of health insurance
FallingOsh replied to riddler's topic in Speakers Corner
The rich? There are roughly 45 million people uninsured in the US. That leaves about 300 million who are insured. Are you saying that all 300 million of those are rich? And about 26% I beleive w/o looking it up, are insured thru MEdicare/Medicaid. What % are insured theru their employer with such horrible insurance that they pay $500 off the top for a family of 4 in premium copay and then deductibles on top of that. And then the HMO death squads decide if they can disallow them when they make a major claim. Only a very small % actually have comprehensive insurance but there are many that want to disallow most fromhaveing complete, comprehensive insurance, they people I call COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES. Nice fuzzy math tho. Fuzzy math? It's fact. Just because you don't like their insurance doesn't mean it's not there. And then you make sweeping, opinionated statements like "many want to disallow them..." or "employers with such horrible insurance. It sounds like you don't care if people are insured. You're just upset that some people have better insurance than others. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. -

The hypocrisy of tea party conservatives
FallingOsh replied to funjumper101's topic in Speakers Corner
Disagree. They are a bunch of hypocrites who just want to complain about Obama. Next Republican spendthrift in the White House and they will quiet down again. If you loathe Bush's spending and deficits but refuse to acknowledge the record shattering deficits by Obama, wouldn't that exactly fit your definition of hypocracy? Gettting out of the wreckage of 20 years of Voodoo Economics was never going to be cheap. You DO know that much of the spending you criticize as Obama's was instituted by Paulson, right? And that just proves my point. You're ok with the Obama administration's spending (even though you blame it on others) but critisize Bush. It's the same hypocracy you're whining about the tea partiers showing.... and even funnier because it's hypocracy about being a hypocrit. Doesn't prove your point at all. The Voodoo economists of the GOP left us with a very very expensive mess to clean up. As we learned with Superfund sites, cleaning up big messes is never cheap. So you're ok with the Obama administration's spending because you don't think any of it is his fault. Again, proves my point. You're ok with his but not with Bush's. You're no better than the people you're accusing. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. -

Which the soldier was not a part of. Ramadan is for Muslims. It says nothing about all people around a Muslim. Drinking water = screaming allah in a church? Hmm. Well, either way, I guarantee he wouldn't be shot if he did that in my church. Again, how was he disrespecting ramadan? It says nothing about all people in your immediate vicinity. Why should he be punished? What did he do that was in violation of the cop's religious rules? He didn't force the cop to do anything. It didn't have anything to do with the cop. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

So if it doesn't affect you then it doesn't matter. The US troops overseas dont affect you directly so you don't care, right? So you don't care about babies... but plants. Plants is where my concern for the day should go. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Yeah, but that doesn't sound as good on a poster. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Meh. We have yet to see congress throw down, asian style, over a disagreement. Pundits run their mouths over rediculousness in the name of ratings. I wouldn't call it respectable, but lack of civility is pushing it. When exactly was that? FDR era, Nixon era... Reagan..? Certainly wasn't the JFK era. By people on internet forums and a few kooks on tv. The same people who called Bush a lying murderer. Being the United States doesn't mean we should all just fall in line with whatever the government says. I would say it means the exact opposite. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Turns out Weber has enough common sense available to avoid spending millions researching what may have cause the grill to melt. Perhaps there was a video showing some sort of fire in there. If only we had some video of planes crashing into the WTC... -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Although I disagree with nearly every word that comes out of his mouth, I don't see what the big deal is. I think issues like these are where the right (and the left for that matter) lose credibility. There's plenty of important stuff to argue about. I wouldn't mind my child having the opportunity to see/meet a sitting President. That said, I think it should be entirely up to the parents to decide if their child will go. Why not have the President talk after school hours? Then academic time wouldn't be wasted on politics but parents could still send their kids to see the President. EDIT: As far as the OP goes, I find it equally rediculous that you would say the country is falling apart because parents might not want their kids listening to people they don't agree with. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

lol, door gunner on the space shutter, definately one of the better ones I've heard. Or that your meat tags mean you are part of a classifed gnome project, but by that point the deal is already sealed so why bother, Couple of guys I went to AIT with that were getting their Sat Controller badges either said in-flight missle repair or space ship door gunner... Retarded dolphin rehabilitation specialist. Anything with dolphin in the title works well, especially when near the beach. Or a swingers club Each to his own, I guess. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

If you're going to keep up the rediculous trolling then at least learn how to use the quote button correctly. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I had all the facts I needed. Huckabee's preface of disingenuous crocodile tears over the death Kennedy don't excuse anything. The fact remains Huckabee used the Kennedy's death to promote his opposition to healthcare reform. Distasteful and disgraceful. And the dems using his name to push through the joke of a healthcare bill is honorable? I suppose since that fits your opinion then it's fine. I find the "do it for Ted" one liners much worse than Huckabee referencing a comment that originated from Obama. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You want to talk about grades at school, eh? Wasn't Bush the very last in his class at the academy or something? Or wait... I think that was McCaine. Gosh, I dunno... I just can't keep track anymore! Yep. Here we go. Anything to divert attention from the truth of the discussion at hand. If there wasn't any point to it that is one thing, but to prove that it happens on BOTH sides is another. It's relevant to the debate. Calling somebody out for throwing stones when they live in a glass house is VERY relevant. It's the same for both sides. Call em' how they are. If the discussion was Kennedy's military experience and education vs Bush and McCaine's then yes, it would be very relevant. If the discussion is on Kennedy, then throwing in accusations about other people is not relevant. It's an attempted distraction; a red herring. "Well look at those guys" is not relevant and even if it were, it certainly wouldn't be an excuse. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Well, given our history with things like that, I'd say that it's a pretty safe assumption. Maybe. I think it's just a little hasty to start including the supposed price of those supposed actions in the cost of the war. It was hyperbole based on lots of future maybe's. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Agreed. Do you think that's because of the government or the citizens? Do you think if OSHA and NOAA went away that we would no longer be better off than 90% of the world? Agreed. If someone wants free healthcare, go somewhere else. If someone wants to sit on their ass and get government paychecks, go somewhere else. If you want others to pay for your life choices, go somewhere else. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Oh... projected. I didn't realize we were seeing the future in citing facts. I don't see how withdrawing troops is going to tripple the cost of the war. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, the war has not cost us $3T. A: You're assuming we're going to have bases in Iraq for 60 years. B: You're tallying the cost of overseas bases to previous wars. By that logic, much of the current DOD budget is funding for WWII. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
