    There are 10's of millions of people who are insured like you are. People in that situation were never used as a reason to pass this law. I used to be happily insured with an individual plan. I founded a startup, and had my excellent insurance policy canceled last year because I did not have maternity coverage. I applied for enrollment in the exchange and was rejected because my income was too low. I was automatically enrolled in medicaid. My identical plan 's premium increased by 255% if purchased off exchange. You are probably too wealthy to be eligible for medicaid. I am glad the system is working well for you. It fucked me.

    No, the CIVIL WAR and 600,000 casualties made that irrelevant.

    This is the first time you can get insurance, but you were previously insured through your wife's employer? So you previously had insurance? Are you sure you're sane?

    Are you sure these numbers don't include medicaid enrollees? I applied for enrollment in the exchange, was denied, and I was automatically enrolled in medicaid with no further actions on my part. I'm pretty sure I am included in that 7.1million.

    We used to have something called reporters who would ask questions about things like this. You know what those people are called now? Racists. Fuck Fascism.

    47 million actually.

    It's outright propaganda. The news took the numbers and ran with them declaring victory. Stop it with the stupid both parties do it schtick. Both parties didn't pass the ACA.

    There was a legal challenge to the Fugitive Slave Act that was also defeated by the Supreme Court. What's your point?

    It's not about being the world's police. It's about stopping something that is clearly evil. Looking the other way is just as evil as cutting off someone's hand.

    If the projectile goes one way, the gun goes the other. Lorentz forces happen in addition.

  17. Re:Glitterboyz on the way on Navy Debuts New Railgun That Launches Shells at Mach 7 · · Score: 1

    That's a stupid way of phrasing it. The recoil is identical to a chemically propelled projectile. In other words the recoil is proportional to the mass and acceleration of the projectile and associated matter. The gun pushes on the projectile, the projectile pushes on the gun.

    Actually they support pluripotent SC research pretty widely. Mainly because you don'[t have to harvest SC's from human embryos. Speaking of emrbryonic stem cell research, which is supposed to make MJ Fox better and Cristopher Reeve walk again, how many diseases can now be treated with emrbryonic stem cell therapy?
