A "random guy" didn't just type up the Bible and hand me a copy; it was transmitted with unique precision over thousands of years in tens of thousands of extant MS. That was my point.
But if you look at the homeless population, you'll easily find signs of less than ideal medical care.
How is government-run health care going to help these people? I think you'd still need to have a primary address. I know this sounds like a troll, but their lack of housing is part of the problem-- don't you think?
This might be an Experian problem. I have a store card account listed as once having been 90 days overdue. It was, but not only was I only an authorized user (not liable) and not a joint owner (liable), but the same account shows up TWICE with two different "fudged" variations of the account number. I was able to have this information removed from TRU and Equifax, but after multiple tries the store card's bank keeps saying, "yup, this is all correct!" and Equifax just takes them on their word. I suppose my only recourse is the state Attorney General's office, as I'm not (and although they deny it, never have been) a customer of this bank so my usual method of using the BBB first won't work.
Well, low-income people not only have rates as low as 10%, below somewhere in the $20,000-$28,000 range (depends on the filing status) you actually get FREE MONEY from the government in the form of "tax credits" like the EIC.
We have not been heavily taxed enough unfortunately (look at the deficit).
I'm sure if we were taxed enough to actually generally cover expenses we would have a lot less government.
I'm not sure what leap of logic you took to arrive at this conclusion. The government doubles spending in the last few months and you think that tax rates are too low? Even if that were true, raising taxes doesn't necessarily increase receipts. Receipts have often gone UP when tax rates were REDUCED. The opposite is almost certain to happen if we raise taxes in this recession! When the middle class is strapped, where will the money come from?
Rev 13:16 "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name."
The "mark" and the universal currency go together.
Quantum mechanics has no relation to faith. We might not have a common sense tailored for quantum mechanics but we have 100 years of experiments and successful test cases that show that quantum mechanics is accurate.
Did you personally perform these tests? Or read about them in a book?
With the privatization of energy companies, nuclear energy is a disaster waiting to happen.
What is it about socialized energy generation that makes it safer? After all, the worst nuclear accident in history occurred in the Soviet Union. By contrast, the privately owned (but admittedly, well regulated) Three Mile Island 1 reactor did not release any radiation into the surrounding area and no personnel were injured.
It's a matter of how the core-values of for-profit organisations manifest themselves in the market, which is essentially to maximize profits.
Oh, I see. Because the thirst for power in government isn't as dangerous as the thirst for wealth in the private sector?
Government regulation won't work, since governments core values are to maximize their own survival, and this is primarily faciliated by aligning themselves with profit-maximizing legislation for for-profit organizations.
You could argue that they don't have to walk the line, and can avoid mistakes, but considering what a wonderful service I'm getting from British Gas right now, I definitely do not want nuclear energy in their "competent" hands.
OK, so you DON'T think that government is the answer. I don't see any solutions in your post. Here's mine: well-regulated, privately owned nuclear plants. The USA has had these for decades with, as I mentioned, one accident 30 years ago with no injuries or environmental damage.
I got mine while running away from ghosts down dark corridors, popping pill after pill. The big pills make me strong enough to eat the ghosts. I like the big pills. I also like to jump out the window and teleport to the other size of the world.
The pear-shaped, ridged piece of garbage that came with Packard Bells in the 1990s. I know you're surprised-- Packard-Bell made crappy hardware? But instead of durable grey rubber like most decent mice of the time, the ball on this thing was made of some porous black fake-rubber product that disintegrated in about a month on the display model. It's hard to demo a product when it just came out last month and the customers can see the mouse is already broken.
When you join a militia and keep your guns for that, you'll have a point.
The government has done its best for decades to convince the people that militias are full of homicidal maniacs. And no, the National Guard is not a militia. It is a standing army under the control of the FEDERAL government-- and it has to be, because states are forbidden from having standing armies in the Constitution.
Guns are cowardly
Compared with... what? "Putting up your dukes," as one ignoramus once snorted on slashdot? Would you ask your 80 year-old grandma to "put up her dukes"? I bet she could handle a small
pistol, though.
And I do completely support the right to have hunting rifles.
Thanks to the 10th Amendment, we do have the right to use hunting rifles. However, the general right to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS is EXPLICITLY mentioned in the 2nd. The "militia" part is not a condition of that.
The "love dare" has its problems (mostly, that some of the challenges would require weeks or months to pull off), but I don't think it's reasonable to expect your spouse to resent you for trying to help your marriage, even with a manual. I hope no one even finds themself in that predicament; it's as close to a no-win scenario as you can get.

I'm actually busy fighting to keep thread-derailing trolls like you off of Slashdot.

EA's programmers work about 70 hours a week. That's hard.
That's OK; President Obama has already guaranteed that energy prices will "necessarily skyrocket" due to cap-and-trade.
It's Government Motors now. The taxpayers will be saddled with their red ink.
The "mark" and the universal currency go together.

Your post lacks actual information to support whatever argument you were trying to make.

Capitalism gave us nuclear reactors, but socialists took them away.
Get your ass to Mars!

In a recession, there is usually too little work to do, not too much. Blame it on greedy management, not the recession.

You remind me of this guy.
In your country, do contractors and repair people carry plastic card terminals around with them?
Now I know why President Obama smokes!

When are the arrests? Trespassing and vandalism; perhaps libel.
