That's because you don't realize you ALREADY pay for everyone else. The problem with the existing system of "we have to cover you if you go to the ER, sorry you could afford coverage yourself for preventative visits" is that ER's cost more and the hospitals bill us indirectly for those visits.
Even if all you're talking about is writing off the debt, they get to write that out of what they pay back to the government. So in the very least of terms, you're talking about paying for others health care through tax dollars at whatever cost the hospital decides. At worst, you help pay for the loss of profit by paying higher medical costs, at whatever cost the hospital decides.
The question here isn't whether you want to help pay for health care, it's how much. Would you rather pay $10/mo more or $1000/visit more? Sounds good if you don't visit the doc often, but that one time you do, it'll crush your bank account.
Some time I think the people in this country are so blinded by our brilliance that we fail to see that all the "lesser" countries around us are beating us.
I don't remember him saying, "You didn't build that (company)!" Oh! YOU added that in there! Gotcha. Well gee I guess if we can just add in the stuff we want to believe people said then it's fine.

Wow you are such a socialist!
Perhaps people would pay more attention to his ideas if he made them prominent instead of burying them under that expanse of verbiage. As far as why Quirky sucks, it's probably more to do with the fact that the "inventions" on there are mostly BS.
I read the description and the article and found no evidence that Tesla plans to incorporate a battery of the kind described. The suppositions are based off of other suppositions. The fact that a company patented something doesn't mean they're going to use it and basing company tactics off of something that minute is simply fishing for a story that's not there.
The fact that people have strong opinions about a misinformed fluff-piece is sad.
A bit off topic, but I find it interesting that you seem to think the commenter named "girlintrainging" is automatically a guy, when I see very little evidence of it.
I've heard this before. In this scenario, which is quite different than a residential street, you're dead. You're in an enclosed area. you can't exactly escape and bring your weapon to bear.
At least in a residential street you can attempt to find cover.
The problem I have with the CCW mentality is in the ones who seem to think their weapon magically will spring to their hand and bear down accurately on their target in less the second someone who's already drawn takes to pull the trigger. CCW means that you're weapon is concealed, which by definition means it won't be the easiest thing to get to . This is going to add precious seconds to that draw.
If I did, would you go on every post and ask me if I did it? You said "This is Sony" and then based a comment on that fact. I was merely correcting a informational inconsistence to allow you to better consolidate your argument in a more refined and knowledgeable manner. My apologies, I didn't realize you prefer to represent invalid logic in your arguments.
First, it's not Sony, it's a subsidiary of Sony.
Second, it's not Japan. It's in a small section of Japan.
Third, It's asymmetrical service. It's only twice the download speed. The upload speed is the same.
The fact they they are comparing this to Google Fiber is ludicrous. There's no plan here to expand this to a dominant market share.

You've obviously never joined the military. Don't get all your information from advertising.

Good thing we learned from those mistakes, huh! Am I right?! We could never have something like McCarthy-ism again, we're so much more evolved.
Exactly how do you fight an idea with a gun? Imaginary bullets?
I honestly hope I run into someone like you. Not all of us are afraid of punching back.
No he didn't misspeak, he was taken out of context.

This. It gets me that they would throw out good PC's for a virus, much less not just nuke the drive and restore from an image.
The game itself doesn't sound like something I"d normally play, but the cracked copy I'll definitely be checking out!

The notice wasn't directed at you so much as at the conversation, you just happened to be the bottom on the line. My apologies for the confusion.
A bit off topic, but I find it interesting that you seem to think the commenter named "girlintrainging" is automatically a guy, when I see very little evidence of it.
Probably because I was being an ass with my comment by making light of the fact that the name of it means absolutely nothing in reality.
Well they were going to go with "Bigger than average storm for this area, but not quite a hurricane," but then marketing got a hold of it.
I'm just glad that we're utilizing the new standardized "storminess" metric to track global warming.

Actually no, Glass interacts with your phone to pull data. It's not a data device in and of itself.
Like say, where I left my keys.....

Apparently someone doesn't teach Computer or Social Sciences.
Yes, some people do. No, this uneducated, ill conceived rant does not belong here, you idiotic, flamebaiting troll.
Well there was certainly a whoosh, but I think it was primarily on your part.
