Oh, it was mentioned, but nobody ever answers the question. They just float it out there to give the illusion that they have some solution then go back to arguing about if the government should pay for the overpriced health care through taxes, then assign it to citizens, or if the government should mandate that the citizens pay for overpriced health care. Nearest I can tell the only thing that the health care legislation fixed was forcing the providers to accept people with pre-existing conditions, and that's not without its flaws anyway.
If someone has a condition that costs $90k a year to control, and they apply for health care that costs $7k a year, the company knows off the bat that they are going to lose $83k a year for accepting this person. Their only choice is finding a way to make up the money they lose with higher rates for everyone else. Maybe the actual issue should be why does it cost $1500.00 for a ambulance ride, and $25k for diabetes treatments per year?
I know that went off topic, I just never understood how this could work.
Is anyone else noticing that all of those subhuman corporate entities and economists have been freaking out a lot lately? Making weird decisions, hiding under the table, chasing their tail, moving investments out of the US? I think they sense some incoming disaster that we humans wont see until its too late.
Who on earth modded this "Troll'? I'm sure I'm not supposed to post about this, but WTF dude? Its a true story, its non-offensive, I'm not trying to get anyone riled up... so WTF?
He is a very good general nearest I can tell, every time I've been to a meeting with him he seemed very competent, the only problem being that his meetings took a good 7-10 hours because of his attention to detail. He never mentioned the wikipedia thing that I heard, its possible that they just fixed it and didn't tell him.
I can't miss the opportunity to relate this little story: At my last command before I got out of the Marine Corps I was wasting time on Wikipedia one day and I decided to look up the new General who had taken command the week before, I was shocked to find out that he is in fact a "world renowned necromance, responsible for the de-vaginization of Ma Jaya", and that his death had been "fortold by Ma Jaya using the razor leaf technique". After I laughed until I had nearly pissed myself, I had to report it to our security manager as a possible threat against the general. Which was also hilarious.
Well, only about 30% of amber alerts are actually strangers, most are custody disputes, and according to wikipedia in 2004 there were only 233 alerts issued. I would write a bunch more stuff about this, but its all straight from wikipedia and you should all just read it yourselves anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMBER_Alert#Retrieval_rate
And yet you come back with more politics. I'll take one more crack at you on this view suppression thing, but I get the feeling you're just going to come back with more gibberish: If you believe that a action inexorably leads to violence on a mass scale, yet that action should be allowed, what does that make you?
Now, back to why you're wrong about the shooter anyway: Go look at the youtube page, the guy was obsessed with mind control. He is a crazy person. The story here is that a mentally deranged person existed in our society undetected and untreated for too long and a tragedy occurred. The fact that you can not stop blaming this on right wing politics indicates one of two things, you're a uncaring scumbag who has to use every possible moment to support his political belief system, or you're very very stupid. I'm leaning towards the latter.
By my words? I'm surprised you can even understand my words because I keep using those mysterious bigger letters. My problem with your concept, and you by proxy, is that the purpose of everything you have posted is to immediately politicize a tragedy. You are so blinded by a political belief system that you spew hate in all directions under the guise of intellectual superiority, yet you can't even format a sentence properly. You imply responsibility for mass murder to the opposing political views, then backtrack when I accuse you of wanting that view suppressed. You are the embodiment of bad politics and lopsided thinking.
A crazy person killed some innocent people today. That is what happened. Anyone who uses this as an opportunity to spew their political views is scum.
Once again, he was clearly a crazy person. This is not an issue of political climate, its a issue of a severely mentally deranged person existing in our society undetected long enough for a tragedy to occur. Stop trying to blame this on politicians.
So the jab about your punctuation didn't stick? Seriously, I get misspellings and punctuation mistakes, buy your posts are almost gibberish. Anyway, on topic, I'll quote you:
if you preach violence and hate, you get it expressed
you reap what you sow... they are the tip of the spear, they do not act alone, and you are a fool if you don't understand the hate-filled group and its rhetoric enables them
As nearly as I can tell you are saying in that quote that you think the views of your opponent preach, and cause, violence. You declared the very act of expressing those views dangerous to peoples well being, that sounds like a condemnation of their right to express them to me. I also really like the attack on my IQ in the middle of a post devoid of a single properly placed capital letter.
Civil and well punctuated, I appreciate that. I'll explain; you want certain views not to be available to the public because you think the reaction is going to be bad for society. You are attempting to do so by expanding your definition of hate speech to include things it hasn't in the past, and your end objective is only views that you approve being presented to the public. You are a essentially book burner, which is ironic, because from your writing it seems like you've never read one.
This... actually makes a lot of sense. At this point all we can do is pray if you're religious, and... wait, what do atheists do? Well, whatever it is, do that. We can start spewing blame later this week when it comes out that he did it because his dog told him to.
Yep, I think that's exactly the right view to have of this guy. If one more person attempts to label him as a left or right wing nut I'm going to... well, there's nothing I can do, but those people are scum.
You are exactly what is wrong with politics. He is a crazy person. There are crazy people of every political inclination, it has nothing to do with the validity of the ideals they twist into violence. Stop hyper-politicizing tragedy.
And by the way, if you will kindly take a look at his youtube page you will see that "Communist manifesto" is one of his favorite books.
The important part of this is "NUT". The ideology of a murderous wacko is irrelevant. It wouldn't matter if he was a "Tea Bagger", although I'm glad hes not just so I don't have to hear about it for months on end.

Can't anything just be fun anymore?
Clearly you've never visited the city of New Orleans or the state of Illinois.
We here in the US don't claim them anymore. New Orleans is now part of Hatti, and most of Illinois is a micronation.

Why on earth is that a troll? Sucky mods.
They do the same thing here in Arizona.
Woa, woa, wtf? Overrated? Whats wrong with that post? It hadn't even been modded up!

This took way too long. I already caved and got myself a Android phone, which I'm very happy with.

The crazy side, because hes talking about mind control rather than the commerce clause.

Just because the books you want to burn aren't the same ones as the Nazis doesn't mean you aren't a book burner.
