  1. Then it is time to ensure that the leadership within a party changes significantly. Certainly not something that has happened in the current administration. It is almost completely a rehash of an earlier administration.
  2. Then I would certainly steer clear off all major US dropzones.
  3. I think China holds a significant amount of economic power over America's head. Far more than most realize and certainly far more than Japan ever did.
  4. and a fair share of other DZ staff....I wonder how many of the participants in this thread who are ranting and raving about illegal immigrants would stop jumping at a DZ that knowingly allows illegal immigrants to make money on their premises? Wouldn't leave a whole lot of DZ to jump at. But god forbid all these self righteous ranters and ravers on here would start in their own back yard....
  5. Was the US economic situation similar to the one you are in now? Was Japan almost the exact opposite in political structure as the US?
  6. I am a conservative, but have been known to vote liberal. Sometimes change is good. When one party stays in power too long, the chances of fraud and mismanagement get to high....in a limited party structure, it is time to vote for the other party...
  7. How do you figure? The US is sliding towards bankruptcy while the communist system in China is just flying. Is the best cause it is America and you have been told it is the best, or do you actually have something to back that statement?
  8. How dare you suggest a good legal american do such a thing.....it is all the wetbacks fucking fault....stop confusing me. If all those illegals were kicked from the country, then the poor legal american who is just trying to survive would not have to hire illegals at below market rates.....yeah that's it.
  9. great, but the question isn't why is american healthcare so expensive.
  10. Which means the demise isn't to be blamed on the politicians but on the system.
  11. lol, except something can be legal and still a problem.... Like fucking a chic up the ass without lube... (well at least in Canada that is legal LOL)
  12. I am sorry but who coined the phrase: You are either with us or you are against us? Not so long ago any questioning of or objecting to the current administration was labeled as unpatriotic. I do agree with the gist of your post though.
  13. Shouldn't all the libertarians be rejoycing?
  14. Couldn't agree with you more. So how come the health care system in the wealthiest country in the world faires so poor against a pink commy health care system? The richest class in the US barely measured up against the low income segment of the brittish sample. I would think the richest in america have the funding for a family doctor as well as executive physicals. Even I get one of those up here in the Canadian commy health care system.
  15. we haven't even touched on that yet. I am still trying to understand the people that seem to think that if we just legalize everything, the problems will go away....
  16. Right, though skydiving really is completely different in this case. Really, it isn't much different from the current system then. Just laws at different level, with possibly a little less restrictions gently shifting the problems somewhere else. Kinda like New York shipping their homeless to otehr locations. Reduced loitering in NYC, but created other problems somewhere else.
  17. Plus, I think a majority would agree that the US was in far better shape then than it is now....
  18. If you take 100 21 year olds and shoot them up with meth....do you really think the problem will only be related to their own bodies?
  19. When the model was adjusted for those factors (ie smoking rates or similar, americans are more obese, yet Brits drink more) the americans were still less healthy. Which could be an indication that US doctor's make more mistakes
  20. So it may go down in some unmeasured way and on the other side many more people will be exposed to very unhealthy substances. Sounds like a pretty dangerous social experiment to me.
  21. In a way I agree, but then you start thinking about the incredible opportunity the Republicans had the last couple of years. Full control of the power spectrum in the US. Yet, they did nothing, they didn't even make a concerted effort to try and fix things. In stead they just heaped the spending on. When was the last time one party had such a strong level of control, yet did absolutely nothing?
  22. interestingly enough, they weren't.
  23. Thanks for explaining it to him Wendy. I'd be surprised if he got it though.
  24. And what again where those officers convicted for?
  25. That's well thought out....bet you got it from another website...
