And if Moore gets his way you wouldn't be able to travel to America and pay the same price as any American - at least not in the same way that you can today.
Where does he say that? (I did see SiCKO and that wasn't in there)
There's been a few sites mentioning 3 people (GOP members) being present in the meeting where Bush was supposed to have said that.
Here's one where the fellow said he spoke to them
Regardless, I don't see any actual denials of him saying it. Perhaps my google skillz need work...
My "liberty" has never been in question. If I want an operation any faster and it's not an emergency I can always head to the US and pay the same price as any American.
Yes, and? How is that not taking away your liberty
Taking away my liberty would be the government preventing me from crossing the border to spend my money on elective surgery. They don't. If it's an emergency or life threatening I'm in right away. If it's some unnecessary or non-life threatening procedure I can still head south and pay whatever it is you pay. Truthfully I don't think I know anyone who has gone to the US for a procedure. I read anecdotal stories of a friend's cousin's brother in Canada who did though...
If you are dying, you would like to have unlimited care. Unlimited care is not available. How can it be rationed?
If you are dying in Canada you aren't rationed to anything. You are treated. They don't throw you out the hospital doors as if an imaginary limit has been met. There are no "portion packs" allocated to the people.
Yeah I find that "worse results for upper class" comment a joke. If the results were truly so bad, why is the life expectancy here, and in other countries with evil socialized medicine, higher than the US?
Riiiiiiight. It is "justice" to take away someone's liberty and force them to have a reduced standard of health care. That makes perfect sense!
My "liberty" has never been in question. If I want an operation any faster and it's not an emergency I can always head to the US and pay the same price as any American. If I need the operation, I get it right away.
A friend of the family went to the hospital with chest pains about 4 years ago. He was in bypass surgery that night as most of his coronary arteries were nearly blocked. They didn't put him in a queue, which seems to be the big myth I hear from down south.
Only when the political will to do so is required, say population explosion
is causing massive food/energy shortages will something like this possibly
be considered.
It costs huge amounts of money to send every kilogram to orbit let alone Mars. If they do get Mars to a colonizable state anytime soon they won't be sending millions of Average Joe's to live there anytime soon.
That's a given. Many private schools are religious and their whole basis for existing is to indoctrinate the kids into their cults with a proper education being secondary.
The HR people here screen out applicants based on the cover letter and CV, they have to cover what the job posting calls for. If the job calls for a Masters in a biological science and a BA in Fine Art applies, the BA is still flipping burgers the next day. Once the screenings are done then they go through it with the head of the group (usually a PhD) for evaluating the actual CV.
If a game like Manhunt can't appear on the Wii because of the way that you swing the controller to kill your pray is AO, then why wasn't Zelda? Because you're not killing humans? Okay, fine. Why not Medal of Honor? Red Steel?
Because some countries with a military-heavy mentality teach that killing in war is glorious and just and honourable. But showing a pixelated sex scene ala Hot Coffee is hurting the children.
I was pondering the same thing. I'm 41, Canadian and have never actually met someone or know of someone second hand who went to the US for medical treatment. Yet you hear of someone's neighbour's cousin's uncle's friend who did. I'm sure it's happened but not to the extent some would have you believe.
I wonder if there's a way to get the names of the people who gave him money, and their contact info.
DEAR SIR, This letter may come as a surprise as we have never met. A mutual associate of ours, DR. JOHN CRAMER, has recently received $35,000 (Thirty Five Thousand) dollars for investment in his time machine....
An old couple both have Alzheimer's. One day they're watching TV and an ad for a burger place comes on. Man says: "Hey, want to make some burgers?" Woman says: "Sure, what to you want on yours?
Man: "I want lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Don't forget; lettuce, tomatoes and onions."
Woman: "Got it. Lettuce, tomatoes and onions."
A good hour goes by and she finally comes from the kitchen and hands her husband a plate of bacon and eggs. He says "You idiot! You forgot the toast!"
*BSD is more than one OS, each with different guts. The author said he works with FreeBSD so the thing should be called "A Look At FreeBSD Rootkits". It'd be like writing "How To Steal A Car" when the only car discussed is a Ford Escape.
Hey, you're another Canuck. Ever see that TV show "Til Debt Do Us Part"? Financial woman helps out couples who are drowning in debt. Amazing how these people can get so far in the toilet. Not sure when it plays, I download it.

It's supposed to speed up TCP. Ergo, because FTP rides on TCP it should be faster.
And if Moore gets his way you wouldn't be able to travel to America and pay the same price as any American - at least not in the same way that you can today.

Whoops. Should have previewed!

Get over it. A constitution is a freaking book.
Actually Bush said It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Just yesterday I wrote in my journal asking for VM advice. Sadly it seems none support 3D cards very well.
Taco,
"Improved Discussions" would require you delete all your current user accounts and start over.
For a guy that was accused of murdering his wife and put in prison, wasnt it a bit of a rude way to start the interview?
I was hoping they'd ask him about the tips he gave Chris Benoit last week.
I quit reading when she used the slang "kinda"

The only message this sends to me, for example, is "don't buy a Wii or PS3
Yep. I was pricing out the Wii just to play Manhunt 2 as I loved the original on the xbox. Nintendo can chalk up one lost Wii sale.

he wants to be able to use entangled pairs to send messages, not only through space, but also in time.
Big deal, Slashdot has been bringing us news from the past for years!
It's just a game. You'd be more comfortable killing people in games you have no emotional ties to?
