Only on slashdot would someone saying this is what happens when you don't have socialism gets +5 insightful. When a much more simple and useful answer is provided it's a troll. Talk about complicating the obvious.
Only a true commie would think we need a huge federal government to put out a house fire. Us toothless uneducated conservative dolts out here in my neck of the 'woods' have volunteer fire fighters who do the job because they like it. The community supports them through the fund raisers and such.
Your socialist ideas do have merit though. If we just 'purged' (that means kill in Russia,Cuba,China, etc.) libertarian and conservative operatives that would mean far less people who might need government services. Although the problem arises that of the remaining population there would be only about 6 people not on welfare of some sort. Something to think about though.
With socialism all your money belongs to the state and the fire department wont put out the fire unless you bribe them too. Yeah, that sounds better.
--->Answer:
If you don't pay the $75 fee then you sign an agreement that you will be billed the "actual cost" itemized for your convenience. There we go. We put out the fire, put the cost on the 'consumer' choosing to 'buy' the service AND we didn't even have to enact the most corrupt, deadly, failed model of a government to do it!

This is true. I took a Russian History class with an adjunct that the collage hated, but had no choice since he was the most qualified. The reason the collage hated him is because too many of his students received grades of A or B. He was simply the best teacher of any sort I have ever encountered. This guy could splice together Russian history in a way you thought it was an HBO miniseries. When you went to take the tests you couldn't help but know the answers because you were waiting for the next episode.
Collage hated him though, too many A's and B's and he said himself they would never offer him a job. Sad.
Oh, and fishexe the Bill O'Reilly 'quote' is about kali sheikh mohammed (mastermind of 9/11) and the context was Bill asking a guest if 9/11 was a terrorist act. Bill wanted the guests opinion on that question, not legal advise about constitutional rights for non US citizens. You should stop taking quotes out of context or people are going to start thinking you're full of shit.
I had some major digestive issues that I was about to go to the doctor for. My girlfriends grandmother took out some oils for me, i took two drops with a glass of water every night...never felt better.
No doctor, no HMO, no government healthcare, no co-pay and I didn't even have to pay for my oil. Just one smart resourceful grandmother.
With that said of course collage is important and I would ask 'grandma' for a spinal tap, but at the same time does 'grandma' need a medical license to do what she already knows how to do?
I had a friend that thought the same way as you. Very smart guy. He enjoyed being in collage so much that the 8 months he had to work in the real world was enough for him and went back to school as is working on a PHD. His entire life goal is to get a PHD and then teach about the real world in a collage (he's History major).
He fully knows that his loans will be paid for if he plays his cards right and works for the state as a teacher/professor, at least that was his hope. It's like welfare for smart people.
As an outsider to this conversation I'd have to say it does seem like you would look at two 'equal' people and the one with the degree would get your nod of approval automatically. Now, that doesn't make you a bad person.
If that causes some kind of internal conflict with who you think you are, I don't think that's anyone's doing here.
When most of my friends and myself graduated from college we found to just forget 95% of what we learned in collage and start learning reality at our new jobs. I think that half the collage students career paths would be better served if the students were an apprentice for a year or two. You might even get paid to do it, while learning real job skills. Not to mention that not having collage loans that haunt you for most of your life would be great.
Haha.
I get labeled as flamebait because I responded to childish baseless claims. While the child gets points for basically calling Bush/Cheney a poo head???
You sheeple with the blinders on never cease to amaze me.
Violation of the constitution on that level is nothing short of treason.
Treason
that level
Is not an example like I asked for. I asked for one crime and you can't give me an example of a crime committed. The best you have is "that level" and I have no idea what you're talking about. I assume you just don't know what you're talking about.
Obama and the democrats have had complete control of congress and the white house. No Republican could do anything except raise questions and yet you blame the Republicans? You amaze me! Obama is a complete failure not because of 'opposition', but because he succeeded in every policy change he really pushed for. It just turns out his policies are counterproductive to a thriving America.
JFK was a leader who was admired by most people. Obama just mostly admires himself while the rest of the country goes to shit.
Well, since you ask, here's some off the top of my head - there are lots more...:
Obama vs Bush:
Can string a sentence together without making up words or stumbling over words with more than one syllable.
Have you heard Obama without a teleprompter?
Has not prematurely announced 'mission accomplished' when the mission is barely started.
Everyone knows the mission accomplished sign was for that aircraft carrier that had finished it's job in the invasion and was on the way home
Actually seems to give a shit about health-care for other-than-the-rich.
The health care bill was a bailout for big union bosses who are driving their unions into the ground. A clear majority didn't want the reform that was passed and want it repealed.
Obama vs Cheny:
Thus far at least, he hasn't shot anyone in the face, and then had the victim apologise (!)
Is this accident really the best thing you have against Cheney?
Doesn't, to my knowledge, keep a man-sized safe in his office. Always been curious about the 'man-sized' thing...
Really? This is going to be your argument?
Doesn't support the indefinite holding of suspects without charge in internment camps. One measure of a society is how you treat undesirables, and Guantanamo bay is an indelible stain on the Bush/Cheney years.
When you say ''undesirables'' you mean enemy combatants who can be detained at the Presidents discretion. Well Obama wanted to expand those rules to US citizens who plot against terrorists (see Time Square bomber). That's right, cry a river for terrorists fighting against our troops, but US citizens being denied their constitutional rights...not notable I guess.
Simon.
You arguments are weak and I'm sure if you saw Obama on TV and there was a typo with a R instead of a D next to his name you would start attacking him before you figured out it's just a typo.
Marriage came from religion and the state participating in any part of a religious ceremony or framing parameters for a religious ceremony seems to infringe on the 'separation' precedent.
You as an atheist seem to have disdain for Christians that believe in
God and his ominous Spaghetti Tentacles
Why then do you feel you can infringe on their religious doctrine? State officials should not be able to preform a religious ceremony. No official government actions or laws should reflect if two people are married, single or anything else. If people wish to become legally responsible to one another (like a civil union) that can be a separate process independent of your religious marital status.
You prevent two people from achieving great happiness for no other reason but selfish, faith-induced ignorance.
If the issue really is about two people and their love for one another then why does it matter what those with "faith-induced ignorance" think? They can have a ceremony or they can not and it has no bearing because government does not matter. Government is not god and does not have to bless their union anymore than between a man and a woman.
As with most things, this is a simple matter of removing government from the problem and it self resolves.
Blaming Bush for the home lending policies bull shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPSDnGMzIdo
The Dems were in charge of congress and when concerns were brought up about the stability of the then 'current' policies, the concerns were out and out dismissed.
That being said, get off the R vs D BS and realize that the only politician who serves your interest is the one that relinquishes power back to the state or to you.
I think those in the US think though finances about 10 seconds into the future.
Other places in the World if you fail to plan or be responsible you feel the pain. In the US there are so many social programs it keeps the least responsible people from feeling any pain.
If social programs arn't enough the court system exists to let the scum of the country sue everyone around them that actually do any work.
If you ask me, the monkeys have one up on us humans.
Kyle: Hybrid cars don't cause smugness, people do. [silent reactions all around] Look, hybrid cars are important. They may even save our planet one day. What you all need to do is just learn to drive hybrids and not be smug about it.
Randy: You mean... drive in hybrids... but not act like we're better than everyone else because of it.
Kyle: Yeah!
Randy: I'm... [puts his hands over his lower belly] I'm not ready...
Gerald: I don't think I can do it either.
Mr. Mackey: It's simply asking too much.
Randy: Perhaps... one day... we can learn to drive hybrids without being smug about it, but for now... the technology is just too much for us.
Gerald: Come on, everybody! Let's go buy wasterful gas guzzlers! [everyone likes the idea; they all disperse]
I'm educated, have no gun in my home, and have left not only my town, but my country. I also happen think AGW science is not convincing.
Now instead of arguing about GW, since I'm sure you don't listen to detractors anyways and it would be a waste of my time. The real question is now that I have dis-proven your premise:
Yes, you would have to be some kind a slack-jawed right-wing gun toting idiot, or equivalent, to think otherwise.
Do you massage me out of you dataset and continue with your premise?
One thing I do find interesting is that the "slack-jawed right-wing gun toting idiot[s]" may say things you find silly like 'it's the solar cycles', 'there are natural Earth cycles', 'the Earth has been warmer', 'GW is a scam to take our money' and many more. Those same "slack-jawed right-wingers" tend not to make personal attacks as a whole group. Although it seems the educated AGW crowd couldn't have more contempt nor show it in any more childish of a way.
Feel free to slap this idea down, I'm not a scientist or even a pretend one on slashdot. Could a land based or space based laser heat a small orbiting object relative to the 'ambient' temperature? Would that have any effect on its drag?
Anyone who mentioned a political party in any way to support or oppose net neutrality gets +5 sheeple.
Maybe I'll post a similar article in a week or two with DNC opposing net neutrality and everyone can reverse their opinions and get -5 sheeple.
Then we can see where we got ourselves again...
Fucking nowhere...
