FoxNews.com pulled all of their comments about a year ago. That's where *all* of the crazies congregated. Their comment sections were literally nothing but people saying horrible, violent racist things about the president and other people that were not approved by the Right Wing Brain. I used to read them out of sheer amazement at the things that people said. I've never really seen anything like it, except at Glenn Beck's site (TheBlaze.com).
No matter what anybody does, the Internet is inherently insecure and non-anonymous because it was designed that way. Any slap-on security on the Net is temporary, at best.
The Internet is NOT anonymous. Structurally, it's designed not to be anonymous. No matter what kind of crap you pile on top of the basic protocols, it will never be anonymous. Anybody who is too stupid to realize that, quite honestly, kind of deserves what they get, at least in my mind.
. There is no middle ground anymore theres the far left and the far right and a giant gulf in the middle with a few real centrists mixed in
Who are these "far left" politicians that you're describing? I'm not aware of any on the national level. From my perspective, we have the far right and the middle-right, with nobody on the far left.
You can still pay cash. But now you also have to pay an additional tax every year so that we can afford to fix you when you wrap your car around a tree or have a stroke. Sounds fair to me.
There is even a tax for every employee, whether you have health insurance or not.
Now, that's a brand new lie I've never heard before. Did you find that from some dark corner of the Right Wing Echo chamber, or did you make that one up, yourself?
I think that we do need an option for people to "opt out". We'd then have to somehow make it very, very clear that no matter what happened to them, accident or illness, that emergency personnel and everybody else should just let them die on the ground like an insect. Maybe a forehead tattoo that says, "I want to die"? It would have to be very visible and obvious to anybody. We wouldn't want a person such as yourself receiving even the tiniest bit of health care since you'd be choosing to "opt out" of paying for your own health care.
The sea levels rising and wiping out coastal cities would lead to mass suffering and death, and would probably lead to large scale social unrest and humanitarian problems, in the least. There's also the droughts that are starting to affect many, many people.
Yes, climate change would lead to large scale death and destruction. No, it wouldn't just lead to balmier winters and more frequent days at the beach, as the Beck-bots are trying to pretend. It would be a massive, global clusterfuck.
But hey, it might not, so let's not worry about it, right? That's like a smoker saying, "There's a chance I might not die from smoking, so I might as well keep doing it". Are you a smoker, by any chance?
So between the possibilities of "Most human life on the planet might die" or "Food prices might go up a bit", you choose to err on the side of "Most human life on the planet might die"?? I fail to see your logic.
That's a really nice feature. That'll allow one to run video to a TV, and stereo to a stereo. After all, who wants to use crappy TV speakers if you're doing HD stuff (games and movies)?
It makes sense because their offering is excellent (most who have used it say "superior", and it's just a matter of time, now. It would be silly for them to walk away at this point.
Have you compared the price of those energy drinks with a bag of apples or coffee?
I wouldn't call coffee nutritious in any way, but I know that I can get about 5 pounds of bananas, 1 pound of beans, or 2 pounds of rice for the price of one of those "energy drinks".

The next obvious step is not to use it unless you can understand it.
Amish-style living, here we come!

I know what FICA is, thanks. I was commenting on the new tax comment.
Good luck finding a doctor in the US when the ACA kicks in, we've had a rash of applications from US doctors wanting to move to Canada.
So they can get paid less....? Any doctor that's that dumb is welcome to go, IMHO.

(people afraid to start up a business because they can't afford health care -- yah r-i-i-i-i-g-h-t),
Yeah, that's right, kiddo. Being able to see a doctor is important to people with fully developed frontal lobes.
Since we don't have "full on slavery", everybody who submits to whatever kind of insanity you're describing is doing so willingly.
Thank you, Michelle Bachman, for your brilliant insight.

Anyways, find a way to get the patient to actually care about the cost of their medical services, and you'll see the prices go down
That's the system we have now. Cancer treatment without insurance is either $400,000 or $500,000. You have $1000 in the bank. Which do you choose....?
Oh, I'm sorry. Where is the "Freedom to pollute" in the Constitution? I missed that one.

thanks for the leet info, dood! do the shift keys on your real laptop work?

The overwhelming majority of people shop at Wal-Mart and eat at McDonald's. What's your point?

As opposed to old media ads, which can't be measured at all...?
