If you make claims without citations like that you fail.
I do not believe anyone has died, some people did require medical care though.
I bet S&Ws #1 product could kill kids. There are lots of common household items that could kill kids. You think eating a AAA battery would go well for a child?
Actually 12 year olds are a decent size group that is eating these. They use them to simulate tongue, cheek and labret piercings.
Limiting it to 18 plus might stop some of those idiot preteens. It would also make it more clear that these products have some level of danger involved.
So far the claims about mistreatment and the length of time he has waited for a trial worry me. The military had the chance in the beginning to try to censor the documents and at least minimize the damage, they refused like petulant children. I can understand their desires, but practicality should have overruled.
I also object to anyone attempting to go after Assange. He committed no crimes, even if we may not like what he did.
I am not waffling. I have never supported this exact situation. I merely object to the way it has been handled and the idea that it would never be appropriate for this sort of thing to occur.
Further more change opinions is what debate is for. Refuses to change your opinion based on evidence is not something to be admired.
It is the business of every soldier to protect this nation from threats foreign and domestic. It is in the oath of enlistment.
How would congress even know about this? Do you think they would report such actions? Do you think congress knows about the renditions being performed? Do they know what secret prisons are used for torture?
What is Julian Assange guilty of? What crime is it to publish documents your receive? He is not a US citizen so he cannot have any responsibility to the US government.
I sure as hell would rather know what our government is doing. You might not, but I sure as hell would.
Perhaps his hospital will pass this cost on others, they never just eat it, but many will stop care once a patient is far enough behind on his bills.
If you roommates malpractice rates I don't want that butcher near me. No normal doctor pays that much. 10% is really pushing it.
Limiting the amounts people can recover will not do a lot to reduce this, since millions of dollars judgements are so rarely carried out. If the doctor wants to be less liable, then I suggest he reduces his prices. Instead he wants to keep that money and you know it.
You like the insurance companies do? Or where they take your money until you are sick then cancel your for forgetting about having the flu in the third grade?
ER doctors send you to an oncologist who will treat the insured. The uninsured gets nothing.
We could easily come up with the cash. I imagine canceling a war or two might pay for it? Or maybe we could limit ourselves to only 2x as many aircraft carriers as the rest of the world combined.

They changed the packaging a long time ago. Look at their website and you will plainly see it.
Taking your claim to the logical extreme and you will say 3 year olds can't read.
Here is a better idea; if a child eats these magnets charge their parents with neglect.
I was thinking more like spray paint, glues, industrial solvents, and heavy metals.

They do not market them to children. The products have extensive warnings on them.
Lead and Asbestos regulations were needed. Those are things that still threaten lives, since the Chinese seem to love to add lead to everything.
These magnets should be regulated to be sold only to those over 18. Like many other potentially dangerous products.
We know how well that works for police. They never get away with crimes, ever.

That might be a valid complaint.
First one you have made so far.
Some bad stuff to keep up with the bad guys?
Then we are the bad guys, at the best no better.
The reason for publishing secrets is simple, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
None of that stuff needs to be secret forever.
At some point all of it should be public.
I know where the nukes are, the silos are plenty visible. I should be able to find out where our subs were 25 years ago.
Knowledge of it does not make me anymore complicit than I am already forced to be.

What is Julian Assange guilty of?

He is not a US citizen so he cannot have any responsibility to the US government.
I sure as hell would rather know what our government is doing. You might not, but I sure as hell would.
And you would get a nice sheet of paper 90% black after the redactions. No one would care and no one would ever know.
So if some horrible atrocity occurs we should never find out because the few generals decided so?
I would rather the military suffer some disturbance of order than there be no check at on them.
I think to some degree what he revealed should be taken into consideration. The military not having to deal with whistleblower laws is a bad idea.
If what he revealed was worth it than a BCD is probably all he should get.
What about what the VA is using?
This looks like something a non-profit should be doing, failing that the government itself.
Perhaps his hospital will pass this cost on others, they never just eat it, but many will stop care once a patient is far enough behind on his bills.

Also it is champing at the bit, not chomping.

No it is not.
More than half my family is german, I was born there.
50% is closer to the truth though.
The level of care is very comparable, except german doctors seem to be more likely to see you on time.
See, this is the sort of BS we have to deal with in the USA.
We have an entire political party that makes the claims that jackass spouted.
We could easily come up with the cash. I imagine canceling a war or two might pay for it? Or maybe we could limit ourselves to only 2x as many aircraft carriers as the rest of the world combined.
Tax load is not 70% in Canada.
