Doesn't stop the "British People" being stupid. Don't believe me? Then why are the Measles rates rising? Simple - stupid British parents believing that they're giving their kids Autism when they give their kids the MMR vaccine.
These unvaccinated kids can pass the disease on to those that did get vaccinated and they will die too.
You don't understand how vaccines work. The idea is you still catch the diseases, regardless of whether you're vaccinated or not. The difference is that once immunized, your immune system has already been trained to detect and destroy the disease. Those who aren't immunized catch the disease and their immune system has to try and fight it from scratch.
Sadly this isn't just a problem for the States. The Andrew "I'm a money grubbing, snake of a doctor" Wakefield incident has caused a massive increase in measles in the UK. Again, due to the stupidity of the British people.
I don't mind doing work out of hours - that goes with working in IT. I do object to being paid for it - either in time off or in financial recompense. The UK bosses I've worked for have always understood that this is how it was. The American bosses I've worked for, less so. Suffice to say, I don't work for American bosses unless I absolutely have to. Thankfully they are few and far between.
I was once asked by my boss to come in on the weekend, which turned out not to be an emergency, just routine work that could have waited. I double checked my contract, and found I could be paid overtime. So, come Monday I submitted my claim for overtime. The boss never paid me, but I also never got called on the weekend to do routine work. Worth it, consider the hours others were being expected to do
You're also missing the basic fact that humans are social creatures, and unless men are going to get very lonely (something I suggest for you, in case you pass on your world view to any unfortunate off spring you end up with), they will always have relationships with women.
Also 7) you realize that pregnancy extends beyond just physical disfigurement. Having a baby *can* be a life threatening "condition" - pre-eclampsia being the most obvious problem. Then there's the other long term damage - teeth tend to degenerate, bones lose density making them more prone to breaking, etc etc. And in the excuse for a health"care" system America has, most pregnancies aren't covered by insurance meaning she's expected to pay for something that is often beyond the means of a couple - let alone a single mother. Hell many states the considerably cheaper option of a midwife is illegal, even if it is statistically the safest option!
Sure the real answer is to either get the Big V, or not have sex.
Why should the state be burdened by yet another ward?
Also, surely the very existence of a child support system demonstrates you are wrong - that these men have no desire or interest in raising the children.
But that's my point. They don't have that choice. The long term detrimental biological effects of child birth are immense. Why shouldn't the men be required to pay financial support?
You're also assuming that government regulations requires big pharma to produce things at a loss - which is obviously ridiculous. It merely makes making huge profits on such things impossible, but EU governments still recognise that private companies need to make money in order to survive.
Except the EU healthcare system is cheaper because it's run by the governments - not the free market. You seem to think that the healthcare systems in the EU changed over three years ago. Canada started it's move in 1948. The UK around the same time. The financial crisis du jour is nothing to do with taxpayer funded healthcare and everything to do with greedy bankers - especially greedy American bankers.
Contrary to what many feminists might claim, a non-consentual pregnancy and subsequent child support mandate can ruin a man's life, just as much as the consensual pregnancy itself can ruin a woman's.
You obviously don't have kids. The effect on the woman is substantially worse than something as trivial as money - especially in a country with as fucked up health"care" system as America where the majority of pregnancy related care is not covered by insurance.
Why are hospitals forced to provide healthcare services to people that cannot pay - this is one of the main drivers behind escalating costs of healthcare, but why is this the case?
This is the biggest crock I've ever heard. The main driver behind escalating costs is a lack of regulation over pricing. If the government says to big pharma "provide us with pill X for $Y" then big pharma will find a way, or not make any money.
Let me ask you a question - since when did a Q tip cost $12 - like it does in American hospitals?
You Americans make me laugh with your joke of a health"care" sytem
Is there any kind of religious classes taught in public schools in the states? (I'm not from there, only visited twice on vacation)
If it were, I would happily confine creationism to religious education classes - with the hope that the students realise what a pile of shit all religion is.
Surely the only way devices brought from home to get on via the school network would be through your proxy. If their on the phone network, you're screwed either way!
- students will learn the "wrong" office flavour, which is of absolutely no use in the real world
- students will suffer badly later on, because they won't know exactly the "industry standard" Windows
The irony is that MS keeps on changing the UI of both Office and Windows so much it doesn't matter if they learn one UI in school. By the time they get into the work place, the UI for both will have gone through several iterations.
Real trade is not cash for things, it's things for things, and if one side provides things and the other can only print cash, it's not real trade and it will stop.
Tell that to Wall Street - where all the real money is.

I don't know about the States, but cough medicine can get you into just as much trouble as alcohol. It's still a DUI.

You my friend have a very jaded view of women.

I've never said such things are or should be free. I'm just questioning why there's a $10 profit.

I like to point out the degradation of society since they let women vote.

That just means that incest is outlawed. A good thing, but never the less not rape.

Good luck with that. If you didn't have religious cranks in Congress, the Democrats would win every time

The trouble with not-for-profit schools is their budgets are very low for things like this. The OP clearly wants a free as in beer solution.

And worse they pay no taxes either!
