The UK privates system is likely to be cheaper than the US private system
Not likely, as you already "paid" for your (useless) health care through taxes, yet now you have to pay for the treatment you were denied. The total cost must be factored in. What we learn is that socialized medicine puts more money in bureaucrats pockets.
I'm with you on the RAZR. They must have dropped the line around when they picked up the iPhone and I was ticked off when I couldn't upgrade my wife's busted V3 to one of the more capable ones.
Can you explain to me what the GOP and the Tea Party have to do with this? Or how Japanese corporations don't care about stockholders, yet somehow stay in business?
Isn't this a problem with Verizon, Sprint and Metro PCS? Why don't they adopt GSM? How about some entrepreneur creating another startup? Is there some barrier to entry?
I have to tentatively agree. It used to be that one could count on a pay phone being available in most public places, but since mobile phones became readily available they've virtually disappeared. That being said, in the USA one can walk around with any old phone without service and still be able to call 911.
I thought the moral of that movie was that racism against aliens is bad, but racism directed at black people is fine. It tried to beat you to death with the RACISM IS BAD message (something that most of us knew already) when it came to the aliens, but used the terms 'Nigerian' and 'criminal' interchangeably throughout the film. Apparently that was an acceptable form of racism.
If they had used Egyptians instead, would it still have been racist? How about Serbians?
because at the time it was the biggest offense to the US Constitution ever
Right... because none of FDR's programs ever threatened the Constitution. Because he never put American citizens in internment camps (and we complain about the way foreigners are treated today)! Because he never set the price of gold artificially low, then confiscated it. Because Lincoln never suspended habeas corpus (which is a right of Congress). Because President Wilson never re-segregated the military. Because Wilson never imprisoned war protesters. Grow up, and read a book (not one of the crap textbooks they foist on our students, either).
I see how you are right. After all, Barack Hussein Obama (aka Barry Soetoro) was born a poor black kid whose parents essentially abandoned him, and he never amounted to anything.
She accepted SS and Medicare when her health failed because she had paid into those programs for her entire working life. I can see the argument against accepting the benefits on principle, but she was no "welfare queen" like the hypocritical left would claim.
Although the fact that things like the tea party exist, and there is more than one person that likes ayn rand's books, and GWB got voted in twice, and Reagan is the most beloved president in history... those all make that a lot harder;-)
I don't try to impress anyone who believes that any of those is a problem... well, the W thing is understandable.
The 1988 and 2007 cases just show that both the Constitution and precedent (Tinker v. Des Moines) can be ignored whenever a district is corrupt enough. We'd be better off if our schools were privatized, because the BBB is probably a lot more effective than the ACLU.
Joking aside, I hear what you're saying, but TFA points out the suicide rate among gay and lesbian students is 4 times that of straight students.
Where is the connection to bullying?
"...and they cite multiple examples of teen-suicides following anti-gay statements or physical violence."
Oh... our old friend Post Hoc. We need data, not conjecture. What's the suicide rate among straight victims of bullying? Why are we focusing on LGBT? Maybe it's because of the big Obama campaign donations from the special interest noted in the article?
Very few if any people stopped to appreciate the fact that he was playing one of the most intricate pieces of violin music on a 3.5 million dollar violin. Why? Because they wern't TOLD it was great art.
Or maybe it's because they had other business-- being at a metro station-- and weren't intending on staying for a concert.

I don't see any burn there; just the same rehashed arguments.
I'm not an expert, but the article says they could be "sold legitimately through Zynga" for $12 million.
Who would have expected one guy on Slashdot could be an expert in both breast implants and herpetology?

Not really. Now you can sign up with the two funny Indian guys! HOLY SHISH KABOB!
Two entire dimensions of acting? Meesa don't tink so!
Replace "speck" with "turtle" and I'm totally with you.
OK... first define "washing up liquid".

Keep telling yourself that.

Holy crap. This, while just hearing about yet another Jewish family being murdered because they dared live in the West Bank. Hypocrisy.

Yes it is. Social programs require greater state power, which by definition means left-wing.
Of course it's restricted! The only true capitalist is the state; all citizens are only allowed to be employees.
She accepted SS and Medicare when her health failed because she had paid into those programs for her entire working life. I can see the argument against accepting the benefits on principle, but she was no "welfare queen" like the hypocritical left would claim.
Believing in the rights of the individual over the state has always been an extreme view.
