    Socialized health care saves money by restricting the system. PERIOD. It saves money by forcing treatment methodologies and denying care. Basically, it kills people in it's drive for efficiency.

    Given that they would have been just as in favor of McCain over Hillary, I think we can safely say it was on policy grounds.

    Shows how? One man's fantasy about what might happen in no way empirically demonstrates anything. Not to mention that people are not suggesting no government.

    No it's not. Fascism is primarily an economic descriptor, with various social policies that are necessitated by said economic structure. A government owning parts of all businesses and not being hyper-nationalistic(forced or not) would never work because without the acceptance that the state is right, people would ignore it's mandates about business.

    Please show me where republicans in government have bought a private company(because that's what the automotive loans really are) and then fired the CEO out of a fit of pique. Really, I'd like to know.

    Yes, like allowing black people to get away with voter intimidation.

    Well, no, they have less cases of child abuse reported to the police. Whether that translates into an actuality of less cases, especially given the insular nature of the japanese culture, is entirely up for debate.

    He's talking about a legal decision in a Kentucky district court that was later overturned by the appeals court thus invalidating his entire argument.

    All that is nicely true. It does not apply to the current situation however. Using your analogy, you would have to steal company A's equipment and give it to company B in order to align it with the current situation.

    Yes, they do. BY MAKING THEIR OWN DIRECTORY. Because by making use of my directory they implicitly acknowledge that they play by my rules. If they want to make their own directory, they're perfectly free to do so.

    *blinks* No, the 38 special is a medium powered .357 caliber bullet with the 38 referring to the cartridge diameter . It is a common revolver caliber but not a semi-auto caliber, which tend to be 9 mil or .45 in the U.S.

    No, had they simply enforced the wearing of natural fibers in the lab it would have been fine. The reason for the death was that plastics melting on your skin tend to cause quite severe burns. Had the sweater been wool or even cotton, the burns would have been much less severe and stop drop and roll would have been much more effective.

    *blinks* This post posits the existence of people who watch their fiction TV shows based upon what network it's showing on and not the shows themselves. Namely, that the above poster won't watch Fox because of their news bent. If I ever met ABCD1234 in real life I would probably have a well nigh irresistible urge to punch him in the kidneys

    Be pretty hard to get everyone back between Fillon on Castle and Baldwin on Chuck. Then there's Baccarin on V and at the time Glau was on SCC. Resurrecting a series is not the easiest thing to do, and that assumes everyone's willing to even try.

    Doesn't apply to debt. Servicing debt is paying for neither a good nor a service. On the other hand, you can't go pay the car wash guy before he washes your car in pennies and expect him to accept it.

    *Looks at Chrysler and GM* Not running it through any faster? What the fuck have you been smoking? As far as I'm concerned, Obama's interactions with Chrysler alone make Nixon look like a fucking piker, and his interactions with GM would make Mussolini jizz in his pants.
