No, that's always been bullshit. I get screened all the time because I'm born in one country, live in a second, and my passport comes from a third, none of them the US.
Spider: So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God.
So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob, and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath.
So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as "the soul."
Yeah, it was a huge deal up here in Canada, eh? People on teevee, crying and screaming into the camera WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE AMERICANS? And then they showed a bunch of confused Americans milling aboot in front of Immigration, stuck with nothing to do like a bunch of hosers.
More shit talking. You said: "It's a daft idea called chastity that's being kept alive and well by feminists." I chided you for that nonsense and you came back with more. Show some work or STFU.
You're right - Nature IS callous - everybody dies.
I used to be just like you. Survival of the fittest, I'll fight whatever or whomever to pass my genes on. Dog eat dog...
And, while most of that is still very relevant today, it's fucking 2010. We have the means, we have the technology to at least start thinking differently.
Even as a liberal pussy, I will completely back up the assertion that socialism is at least some form of theft.
But we don't live in caves anymore, or shit ourselves when lightning strikes. Maybe there's some other things we should look a doing differently too.
Maybe for some. We just got targeted with one of these, but because I'm a crafty and suspicious accountant, and we follow the rules, we didn't get dinged.
The check fakery is pretty good, but no watermarks. Always check for watermarks.
Doesn't matter. They haven't got the votes anyway. Obama'll get his bipartisanship when the bill goes down: Progressives and conservatives will be happy!
Please explain why ANY concessions would be made to the Republicans when they are universally not voting for this?
First of all, have you been living in a cave? Obama spent almost a whole year playing kissy kissy with the GOP because he has a stick up his ass about bipartisnaship.
Second, just because Repubs aren't voting for it doesn't mean there aren't non-progressive "concessions" in there. Pick a better argument next time.

I didn't say I had a problem with it. But it was never random, no matter how much rightwingers cried it was.

No kidding. The "alterna-health" idiots will be dining out on this one press release for fucking years.
That reminds me:
Yep, we're just meat puppets with enough brain complexity to fool us into thinking we're special.
OT: Let's have a voluntary moratorium on "fixed that for ya" replies. They have long since ceased to be witty.
They're not meant to be witty. They're meant to make the replier feel superior. HTH.
Hardly knew her.

Thanks, you're my first!
My grandmother hasn't been a maiden since 1910
Suuuure she was. Pretty damn 'lively' from '07-'09 if you consult the outhouse walls.
C-C-C-C-COMB BREAKER!
Hey, my hair looks like crap...
No kidding. When I was 6, I was well aware that relations between the US and USSR weren't at their best and what that entailed.

You don't know a lot of feminists, do you?
So Medicare doesn't count as a form of socialized medicine?
"You're naked."
"No, I'm not. I'm wearing a thong."

Greed doesn't factor into the equation.
Unless, oh I don't know, your customers are actual people. Then it certainly does.
"The insurance business would be a lot more fun if it weren't for all the sick customers."
ponzi scheme
I don't think that term means what you think it does.
Democracy ends when the banks find they can vote themselves money from the public coffers.
Fixed that for you. Not like the people are getting that cash...
or Kermit if we'd like to appear reasonable.
And WEAK! Better to use the guy that throws the fishes. You know he means business.

Thank god for that! That means my standing in the 99th percentile is safe!
You got four mod points, I'm jealous. Where do I buy some?
Don't give the overlords here any ideas, you fool!
Somebody should have told Obama this...
Doesn't matter. They haven't got the votes anyway. Obama'll get his bipartisanship when the bill goes down: Progressives and conservatives will be happy!
