Yes, you should go back and do Econ 101 - because you obviously didn't understand. Microsoft never was, has been, or will be a monopoly until granted that power by the government.
Universal healthcare doens't work in any country - the US HAD the absolute best healthcare system in the world, and now unless the Republicans win big in Nov, we are stuck sliding down the slope to substandard universal care. No thanks.
Perhaps you should start taking care of yourself and purchase your own health insurance instead of expecting the rest of us to be responsible for you.
Move out of your parent's basement, get a real job, and learn life isn't fair. I'd rather have to deal with an insurance company and have other recourses, now I have to deal with teh goverment, who can put me in jail for disagreement.
Perhaps you should learn a little bit instead of just assuming you are right - because you are an absolute idiot.
Where is the GOVERNMENT responsible for R&D of energy sources? We have plenty of private industry pursuing those goals. Perhaps you need to read the Constitution?
ALWAYS WORKS - you just have zero understanding of what a free market really is - you also hate success, so hopefully you stick to your personal beliefs and overpay your taxes as you believe the government should take care of you - since you don't feel the need for personal responsibility.
Nothing will happen - though they probably should have used less chemicals as crude oil is a natural substance. We should be drilling less in deep water and more in shallow, easier to manage areas.
No, we wont' be eliminating the internal combustion engine because a few wackjob environmentalists like you have a bee in your bonnet. I will continue to drive my car as much as I want, where I want, and when I want. We will drill and recover MORE oil and resist efforts to artificially drive up the cost of oil because you think it is bad.
You just made the perfect argument against socialized medicine. You and your family made your own decision - under socialized medicine, you would have had no say in the decision.
Socialized single payer healthcare does not work - I have no idea why so many "smart" people would like to march towards a failed system, but I think it comes to shortsighted selfishness - they want things to freeze and stop to not benefit the older people because they believe if they reduce demand now, they will have more supply later when it is their turn.
Maybe the teenages should learn to get up at the correct time (between 5am and 6am) and go to school at the correct time? Maybe they should learn that being successful in life requires adhering to a schedule - no one is going to allow them to show up for a job when they feel like it - teach them personal responsiblity instead.
Also - don't expect teachers to teach comprehension - instead, teachers show up to punch a clock and basically do the least amount of work of any "profession".
The problem is that no one takes any responsiblity - the liberal elite have pushed all these garbage social programs on us, claiming that this will fix the problem - and it hasn't. We OVERSPEND on stuff like this to fix poverty - and it doesn't fix the problem - you know why - ZERO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Giving people unearned government benefits is essentially giving them NOTHING - people don't view these benefits as a gift, they start to believe that someone owes them something for nothing - instead of getting a job and taking some responsibility for themselves, they throw temper tantrums and demand the fruit of someone elses neighbor. The people who have their earnings stolen from them under the guise of providing a benefit for society then do absolutely nothing else - in their mind they have done enough. What's worse is instead of beating the living shit out of the flash mob participants and then enforcing standards of normal societal behavior (you know - like telling a kid this isn't acceptable no matter if you are rich or poor - you will act correctly no matter what) - we then tell them it isn't their fault. But the Liberals will never admit this , and instead work for less personal responsiblity and more government power, turning citizens into subjects.
Let's hope a repeal of Obamacare and then a privatization of Social Security is next. The Federal Government has no power granted by the Constitution to remove consumer choice because some "green" idiots think they know better then I do.
There is ZERO evidence of global warming being caused by anything mankind has done. CFLs provide no real savings - unless you are planning on keeping your CFLs as you move from place to place over the course of your lifetime. CFLs also generate no heat - using conventional lightbulbs actually lowers your heating cost in the winter - and the light produced by conventional lightbulbs actually replicates the sun's light - CFLs do not do that.
Also keep in mind that absolutely no one disposes those CFLs correctly. I happily throw mine away because based on the time value of money of my time, it is better for me to do that then to waste my time driving to home depot and then PAYING someone to dispose of them.
I'd rather you pay for you own healthcare instead of whining that you want someone else - who actually works - to pay for something that you value less then your cell phone and cable TV.
You should be ashamed that at age 24 you are on your mother's insurance. Either get a job and pay for your own insurance or pay your own bills on your own.
ompared to the crimes committed by the obama administration, it's a very small mistake. Compared to the crimes committed by investment bankers, it's a very small mistake. Compared to the crimes committed by BP/Transocean/Halliburton/the MMS, it's a very small mistake.
Radioactive waste? France stores it in a room someplace - so putting it in the Yucca mountain is going to be 100% safe. 3 Mile Island? Absolutely ZERO fallout from that accident. In fact, it was the people working at the plant that caused the issue - if they would have done nothing - there wouldn't have been any "accident".
Nuclear, coal and oil - the 3 safest and least polluting sources of energy!
Helping people is not the moral thing to do. The guy above is right - NO ONE should be forced to care for people that he doesn't want to care about. Helping people does one thing - it makes people dependent on the kindness of others and then they start to expect someone should take care of them. If you can't afford something on your own - then guess what, you don't get it. Heathcare is not a basic human right.
1. in all other countries you wait in line for rationed care. Cancer survival rates are way, way, way below those in the USA. People in other countries wait months for procedures that take place within days in the USA. All innovation takes place in the USA - because our doctors are rewarded with money.
2. No power in the universe is more efficient the a free market.
I think you have it backwards - Obama is the authoritative leader - he's a communist (which is facist) and thinks he knows best of how you should live your live.
Conservatives are the ones that follow the constitution and do little to hamper our freedoms. Check out Reagan - the greatest president of the 20th century and compare him to FDR, our most facist dictator of a president - and the biggest failure.
Bullshit, typical commie response with no facts to back it up. Had a few students been carrying firearms, the body count could have been reduced or completely eliminated. Carrying a firearm greatly reduces the chances of something like this happening!
Established facts: 1) There were no WMDs - bullshit - they existed then and still do 2) We all thought there were WMDs - we KNOW there were WMDs 3) We are currently in Iraq - and we should be 4) Most of us think we should not have gone in the first place, largely based on what we know now - bullshit - we should have gone and should still be there!
Nice, slashdot should be changed to home for communist non-thinkers!!

Oh my god you are a complete idiot - Keynesian economics HAS NEVER WORKED FOR ANY COUNTRY IN ANY SITUATION.
If printing money and govment jobs fixed depressions, the great depression never happens!.
IDIOT.

Actually - making money should be your ONLY motivator in being a doctor.
If you want to save people, go be a minister.
Nothing will happen - though they probably should have used less chemicals as crude oil is a natural substance. We should be drilling less in deep water and more in shallow, easier to manage areas.

Thanks again, i'll take PROGRESS driven by OIL.
I know, on one side we've got loads of data, models, research... On the other side, WARMING CLOWNS!
Here, I corrected this for you.
You are a complete idiot
SS should be ended for anyone under the age of 55. Anyone over 55 gets to keep everything as it is, right now.
ages 54-18 should all receive various tax credits to return their own money from SS on a sliding scale - the older you are, the bigger the tax credit.
Anyone under 18 - no SS, instead use an IRA.
Same with Medicare, just use a Health Saving account.
Social programs are worthless, they cause people to be dependent on the rewards of others labor. Instead, work and pay for things YOURSELF.
As for the evil 1% - they earned that money. the Government, OWS, or other lazy people have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to that money.
As always, I'm 100% correct.
You just made the perfect argument against socialized medicine. You and your family made your own decision - under socialized medicine, you would have had no say in the decision.
Socialized single payer healthcare does not work - I have no idea why so many "smart" people would like to march towards a failed system, but I think it comes to shortsighted selfishness - they want things to freeze and stop to not benefit the older people because they believe if they reduce demand now, they will have more supply later when it is their turn.

I'm 100% correct.
No, socialism always fails.
Capitalism NEVER blocks productivity - Socailism always blocks progress as it strives to keep things exactly as the way they exist right now.
You are a complete idiot who has never had to work a day for anything in your life!
Let's hope a repeal of Obamacare and then a privatization of Social Security is next. The Federal Government has no power granted by the Constitution to remove consumer choice because some "green" idiots think they know better then I do.

You are not my responsibility.
Not our problems.

there, i fixed that for you. stupid commie.
