Religions aren't about money and mind control? Really? That's an incredibly naive statement.
I see Operation Clambake and raise you the house arrest of Galileo, the crusades, 9/11, Salem Witch Trials, etc, etc, etc, etc. The list is pretty long...
From an outsiders perspective (atheist), scientology isn't any more corrupt or evil than any other organized religion in the world. It always amuses me when people of other faiths unload on scientology, while ignoring the crap their own religions promote.
Give it a couple of thousand years, and they'll be able to join the club of Established Religion.
Scary thought? Not really. It's no different than the bronze age fairy tales that millions of people believe in today...
To put this into perspective, it would take over 4 and a half million bowls of Super Colon Blow to equal the computation power of just 1 of these things!
You also aren't very logical. At least MSNBC allows conservatives on their network. Name one liberal host on a Fox News show, or one liberal that they give as much air time to as MSNBC gives to Buchanan.
Apple products are made in China. I'm not sure how much more help they can give. Oh wait, I know. They can help distribute Chinese government propaganda. Something MS doesn't even do, as far as I know.
So Apple has rejected apps that are "political" (an app about the cost of health care, for one), but they're fine with a Chinese government propaganda app?
Except in this case the guy's wife works for a company that indirectly makes a profit from owning stock at the widget factory. She herself doesn't work at the widget factory, and won't directly profit from anything the widget factory produces. She works for a company that owns stock in practically every type of business out there.
So should the guy have to research every aspect of the company his wife works for, including everything they have invested in, before he makes a decision related to health care?
It's only mandatory if you're working at a hospital, and this is hardly unprecedented. You might have a point if it were mandatory for the general population, but it's not...
Great point there. Also look at the source of this "article". A local right-wing radio station, with nothing in their article except innuendo, six-degrees-of-separation finger pointing, with no real evidence of any wrongdoing at all. I think their main problem with the commissioner is that he was appointed by a Democrat.
Do alot of health care workers in NYC hospitals have unprotected sex with their patients? Slippery Slope arguments are bullshit, and this is a fine example of why.
The population isn't being forced in to taking the virus. This is only in regards to people working at hospitals, where they are exposed to the virus, and working around patients with weak immune systems.
It's not difficult at all. A woman receiving an abortion isn't working at a hospital where her abortion can spread to people with weakened immune systems.
Vaccinating people who are working at hospitals, who can spread a virus to everyone they come in contact with as part of their job, isn't in the same league with abortion at all.
You're acting like these are forced vaccinations to the population, and they're not. It seems to me that this is a very common sense thing to do, to keep a virus from being spread in a hospital...
Understanding the science behind the vaccine, isn't the same thing as believing it's the 'second coming'. Anti-Vaxx idiots have every right to voice their views, no matter how crazy and dangerous they are, but the rest of us also have the right to voice ours.
Reading the site that is linked, they don't even have any tangible evidence that there is something going on. A lot of guilt by association innuendo, six degrees of separation connections, and 'what if' type questions.
The CDC says it's because of the shortage of the vaccine. I'll trust them, for the time being, over a biased right-wing radio station.
I don't really see why you're conflating this with abortion, and then heaping the blame on liberals. It strikes me as very disingenuous to even compare the two things. You were vaccinated as an infant against diseases, do you also consider that to be a violation of your privacy rights? To me it doesn't seem like a bad idea to have health care workers, in a heavily populated city like New York, to be vaccinated against something they'll likely be exposed to.
To me this looks more like 'six degrees of separation' being made by a local right-wing radio station.
I never thought I'd see a Linux advocate use the Vista Defense! It's the drivers, it's the software, it's something, but it's not my code!
At least with Vista the problems with video drivers, and various other hardware devices was sorted out within a couple of months. In Linux the way audio is handled is an absolute mess.

I'm not sure how I clicked the Anon button, but I guess I did.
Using an air conditioner in a room, as a comparison to reversing entropy on someone who has been frozen, is a pretty huge stretch...
Great plan as long as your frozen head can withstand the blunt force trauma of being hit like a baseball.

Yes because we all know that open source software never has problems that pop up in deployment...
Amazing rebuttal, you really have command of the facts.

http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/09/apple-denied-health-care-app-for-political-reasons-developer-says/ Or just google the phrase "apple rejects health care app".
Yeah and MSNBC also gave that liberal Joe Scarborough a morning show, and features liberal commentator Pat Buchanan about 12 hours each day.
So Apple has rejected apps that are "political" (an app about the cost of health care, for one), but they're fine with a Chinese government propaganda app?
