Why should you be required to support the life of someone who openly hates your culture and is trying to get rid of it? Should a Jewish person be required to pay taxes and provide health care for someone who is a member of a Neo-Nazi organization? Should a black man be required to pay health insurance for someone who is a member of the Klan? Should a member of PETA be required to pay health insurance for a hunter of baby seals?
Should such people have to pay for others' police protection? Military protection? Fire protection? The roads they drive on? The courts? The innumerable other things provided to all in this country?
If the answer is yes, why should universal health care be different?

Hmmm, an instance where the death of someone causes severe repercussions involving possibly billions of dollars of money. I don't know how that could possibly go wrong...
It does make me wonder though. Merchandising and appearances have nothing to do with making a webcomic, let alone a good one. If you want the best webcomic possible, would you force someone to take up public speaking, travel and marketing to do it?
If you're going to be running your own business, you likely have to take up marketing and sales anyway.
So, if you want to make the best webcomic possible, no, nobody is going to force you to do those things. However, if you want to get paid to do it, then it's probably a good idea.
You might see a resurgence of a local service industry repairing these more expensive components. So the chinese could get paid more to build higher quality parts, and we wouldn't need to buy a new keyboard every year, and there would be some moderately skilled service jobs in the developed world.
Not to mention the reduction in waste you'd see if we didn't simply throw out all the electronics that are malfunctioning.
If she's willing to have sex for money, wouldn't it be far more profitable to simply become an outright prostitute ?
Not if she plays her cards right. If her boss is married and she surreptitiously makes a tape of one of their encounters, she could come away with a lot more money.
Err, no. The main reason they are held in Guantanemo was for a jurisdictional dodge about holding them at all. One that didn't work out, as it turns out; the courts didn't buy the idea that they were beyond the reach of US courts just because they weren't within the boundaries of the United States.
It's more complicated than that. Guantanamo Bay is an area that's controlled by the US, but for some strange reason not US territory, and therefore (theoretically) not subject to the laws of the US. Ergo, torture is theoretically not illegal there, and you don't have to deal with those pesky civil rights issues.
Turns out the courts didn't really buy this, which is why they started using secret prisons elsewhere and sending prisoners to other countries that are quite willing to torture.
In some places, like downtown areas, lights are intentionally timed to make you stop at every one, either to deter you from driving there, or to make you angry enough to run the red light and be caught by one of the red light cameras.
During a conversation someone says something and the 'geek' then has a chance to respond. So they think about what they would want to respond with but in that time someone else has already responded and the conversation is moving forward. So they instead end up not saying anything most of the time because instead of quickly responding with whatever comes 1st.
I have this problem a lot. I can often think up great things to say - about ten seconds too late.

Don't worry. If we ever get 100% fully realistic VR, people will be far more interested in sex simulators. THAT will be what will doom the human race.
It would also cause the population to plummet, which would make labor MUCH more expensive.

This is the point where the DA laughs in your face and tells you to get out of his office.

This reminds me of my college that only allows certain requests made through their website to be submitted from 8 AM to 5 PM.
WHY?! It's the internet! You just have one of your employees look at the requests the next business day!
Unfortunately you cannot have one set of information you want available to, say, your friends, and another set available to coworkers.
So, if you have coworkers on Facebook and they look for you and see almost nothing in your profile, they might get a bit suspicious.
But we don't need the AMA. Not if they restrict the number of doctors.
"Business friendly" meaning lacking worker protection laws and basic human rights laws.
I'm wondering how long it will take before Facebook starts selling employers a special service that will ignore privacy settings of certain members.
You're incorrect - you cannot get a refund on software that has been opened from most stores.
And we could get rid of crime if only everybody followed the law. Problem solved.

The US could do this, if China didn't have us under its collective thumb. We can't embargo anybody until we're no longer so deeply in debt to them.
I'm no fan of needles, but I'm also afraid of bullets.
Oh, and death itself.
Um... doctors have the AMA, which prevents anyone who doesn't fulfill certain requirements from being a doctor BY LAW.
In other words, there ARE no non-unionized doctors in the US.
You don't get off the morality hook by claiming it's "just business".
I know for a fact that my Master's degree was used as a reason not to hire me for one job. I don't know how many others this might be the case for.
Unions became far less powerful.

Yes, but simply giving a little unwanted attention (before being told it is unwanted) shouldn't result in criminal charges.
