  1. no, that's a milton friedman reference
  2. No. The American Medical Association is not a union. It is a voluntary association of physicians in the United States which sets standards for the medical profession and advocates on behalf of physicians. I kinda respect their opinion a touch higher than yours. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Medical_Association stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  4. You are confused. We are talking about reasonable people. The numbers mean nothing.

  5. Good. Once you do it, we could talk :P i love your big socialised banks as well
  6. You guys need to get rid of your Queen and prime minister, as it's so outdated, and switch to something more modern. Once your political system grows up, then we could talk :P we sure do need to get rid of the queen
  7. We have a military so socialize everything else. Good point. you have an enormous socialised military (the largest in the world) (let's privatise it) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  8. top tax rate here is 50% and basic tax rate is 20% (how is your socialised military doing) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  9. I'd resort to old school torture in that case. Really Bill, you equate the rape of children with what was done to the three theorists at Gitmo? Interesting. death to all theorists

  16. A racist outcome is one wherein different people are treated differently because of their skin colors. Trying to create "inmate parity" by creating some kind of racial balance in prisons would certainly be racist. unless you're saying blacks are six times inherently more criminal than whites then the american prison system is obviously, logically racist. why waste your time denying this? (and yes, in the us, as in many other anglo saxon, blue eyed countries, blacks are treated differently because of their skin colour. study after study has shown this quite objectively) So you think more black people are in prison because of racism and not crimes being committed? so you think that blacks are inherently more criminal than whites? I think the prison population consists of those who commit crimes. If you choose to make it a race issue then that's on you. you choose to make it a race issue bu putting so many black men in prison http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/09/23/life_sentence/ stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  17. Having just visited my company's London office, I got to hear exactly how inefficient and plodding the UK health care is for a mate, who suffered an infection after a knee operation. Every routine visit is worse than a trip to the DMV. He's not dying (though I wonder how their post op infection rates compare to our's) but nothing about his experiences this year would encourage me to trade what I have now (and used for my post crash recovery) for that. I know for those who fall out of the normal (bad accident, cancer, etc) in our system, it's horrific, but they represent a small minority. Reform won't come if the majority doesn't want it. you know how the english like to moan and whinge - about the weather, foreigners, the nhs, whatever
  18. it'll take a while (twenty or thirty years perhaps) but if the us doesn't prosecute them then the icc will LOL - Chaney will be dead in 20 years, while Bush will still be relaxing in Crawford, smoking a joint (See Harold and Kumar). Only loser nations let their leaders get tried. The closest we've seen were some attempts on Nixon/Kissinger, but these are guys that were remarkably (and unjustifiably) well regarded in the US in recent time. cheney is unlikely to last but many of the other players will still be around. and i wouldn't call you a loser nation - just be nice to china and you should be fine
  19. you use a lot of words lawrocket - but have very little to actually say. meanwhile... http://academic.udayton.edu/Race/03justice/crime18.htm stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  20. the figures will also show it's racist
  21. you have an odd habit of jumping in whenever race is mentioned
