I don't think he knows what he's in favor of. He just knows he has to agree with whatever the democratic congress comes up with.

Carbon Melting Amnesty would be next...

What comes next is corporate sponsor stickers on the Capitol. The Kaiser Permanente half time show during the State of the Union Address, followed by the Goldman Sachs postgame analysis.

so...it's morning now in Germany and as I read the posts here I have to learn that I just woke up in a socialist regeme? I am fucked???

we learned from the USA after WW II and changed our system. we now have a democracy that is as solid as the one in the states or the UK. works even better than the french or the italian...no wait...Italy is run by a fascist that hides under the mask of a democrat...my bad...

we had to change because of two wars, the cold war and overall changes in Europe. it is much easier to convince people to a change when they find out that they just lost a war against the world, lost half of their country to Stalin and his communists and that the city they used to live in destroyed.

to quote alexis van halen: "the 2010 USA is a lot different from the 1776 USA...and to go on like we used to do would be emberrasing to our citizens and to our history..."

Italy may be run by a dickhead but according to the World Health Organization in 2000, Italy had the world's "second overall best" healthcare system in the world, coming after France.

In 1978 Italy adopted a tax-funded universal health care system called Servizio Sanitario Nazionale closely modeled on the British system. The SSN covers general practice, outpatient and inpatient treatments, and the cost of most (but not all) drugs and sanitary ware.

In the same study the US were 37th, below neighbors like Colombia, Chile and Costa Rica.

It would be fucked up if it were in any way anything to do with reality.

Their stocks actually went up 0.71% not the 1000% you thought. That's really wrong GAR.

That's like claiming your penis was the length of a football pitch(117 yards) and it turned out to only be 3 inches.

Incidently their share price is still lower now than before Obama came into office.

Where do you get these stories? Do you think maybe because you hear and believe these things some of your other ideas may actually be a bit wrong too?

Imagine if all your posts were like this and we could look up and get an undeniable figure for exactly how right or wrong they were.

Wouldn't that be cool!

None of the things you listed above is mandated by the government.

Maybe not on a federal level, but go ahead and try driving without insurance then tell the officer who asks you for it that it's "not mandated by the government" and see how far that gets you.

Everything you listed is voluntary...yes, even eating is voluntary.

Cool. Do us all a favor and go without it.

Even taxes are voluntary...if you're willing to sponge off someone else or are willing to go to jail.

So in other words, no, that whole "jail" thing means it's mandatory?

Dumbass.

It's awfully easy not to want to consider both sides of an issue, isn't it?

Please list all the sources you consider "valid news."

1) Not Fox News.

Can I buy car insurance if my car has a pre-existing condition and needs thousands of dollars worth of repairs ??

Yeah, but I'd suggest a better car.

[Nickdfresh]

Explain.

Read the fucking article...

I don't think he knows what he's in favor of. He just knows he has to agree with whatever the democratic congress comes up with.

You're an idiot. I said I didn't agree with aspects of the bill and that this is just a starting point. But someone had to do something to get reform rolling...
