I can't afford health insurance right now, and would rather do without as I don't feel it is right for everyone else to subsidize it and pay for it for me.
I am happy to help subsidize your receipt of proper care via taxes, as opposed to subsidizing repayment to hospitals for unaffordable emergency room treatment for problems that were allowed to fester due to inability to personally pay for early, effective, quality care.
If you want to ease any (IMO, misguided) sense of guilt over receiving proper care provided taxpayers/government funds, consider it an investment in improving/maintaining your ability to function as a productive (or even potentially productive) member of society. I personally believe that we're all in this together, and we all have a responsibility to help those in need, whether that need is temporary (e.g., under-/unemployment) or permanent (e.g., mental or physical disability). Please get the care you're entitled to, and if it helps, consider your share as being paid for by myself and other Americans who share my view regarding public responsibility for human welfare.
I like Romney for requiring OpenDocument format (ODF) when he was governor of Mass.
Um, you lost me here, why would a greedy venture capitalist give a flying fuck about open-source software? I just did a google search and found nothing relating to WTF you just said, or are you just a Romney-troll in disguise? In that case, you still aren't changing my vote, the O's are in for FOUR MORE YEARS bitch.
Please—especially if you live in an uncontested state—vote for the best candidate, not the second-least-worst candidate; our country (and especially our civil liberties) have taken just about all the "lesser evil" that can be withstood.
3rd parties ARE LOCKED OUT. its how its always been and its not going to change, sadly.
Locked out and locked up; Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala were arrested and detained during the Hofstra University debate. During the streamed Johnson/Stein debate, Stein said DHS was involved, and that she and Honkala were zip-tied to chairs for eight hours.
I've researched. Which is "my team?" Which "team" represents the interests of the 99%? Since you're apparently relying on an erroneous/planted/compromised/imaginary codebook, allow me to offer a clue in English plaintext: NONE OF THEM.
Right now rightsholders and the anti-piracy outfits they employ have absolutely no incentive to improve the accuracy of their automated takedown systems, so perhaps it’s time for them to be punished?
That is the problem--they have nothing to lose. [...]
They have their precious copyrights... I think they should lose those. Aside from works of government, our public domain is becoming increasingly stagnant—this would alleviate two problems with each instantiation.
Right, the real influence is from Social Conservatives who merely hide behind Libertarian slogans. However the only reason Social Conservatives aren't all hanging from the lightpoles is that they spout Libertarian slogans.
I thought it was because the social conservatives are the only set depraved enough to hang people from lampposts.

So, lets spend nothing on defense [...]
Yup, let's spend zero dollars on defense, just like you quoted timeOday as having recommended.
You can learn more tips for constructing illogical non-arguments here.
And both seem to want to increase government surveillance and trade freedom for safety.
They're trading our freedom for something, but it's not safety (as Bruce Schneier points out on a regular basis).

Next time, try using a search engine instead of a fucking ad engine, dipshit.
In case anyone missed the 4-way debate moderated by Larry King in Chicago on 2012-10-23:

All of the presidential candidates' social/economic ideologies are graphed here. [Note the proximity of the two corporate parties' candidates.]
Please—especially if you live in an uncontested state—vote for the best candidate, not the second-least-worst candidate; our country (and especially our civil liberties) have taken just about all the "lesser evil" that can be withstood.
This quiz can help you determine which candidate best matches your own ideology.
After this, I bet she'll never fly again. ;o(
Does this square with your expectations?
I can't speak for Obama fans, but as a liberal, yes, this squares with my expectations—both Obama and Romney are authoritarians.
...and nothing of value was lost. :-P
Ah hahaha, comedy gold! How do you come up with this stuff? :D
Oh, I see...
Not to mention that such accusation (defendant in a court case) is more than sufficient to get you [...] disowned by your friends.
They were never your friends.
I have five kids. The only reason they left high school with reasonable math and science skills is that they had a geek for a father [...]
How many of those five were in the control group?
a 24 pack of Corona
Granted, Corona is pretty reliable, but aren't cyanide capsules a more humane way of dispatching oneself?
Well, all that hot air can evaporate a lot of water.
Prediction: lies, lies, and more lies.
Lies don't count (too easy); that's a center-square freebie on the Logical Fallacy Bingo cards.

So, if I had a pair of WiFi devices, couldn't they just reproduce and train replacement hamsters? And do I need to add extra grain for that?
Hmm, extra grain for extra gain... Sounds legit to me.
"They're both the same" is code for either "I'm too lazy to research" or "I'm simply going to lie to support my team".
I'm generally familiar with the overall (good) quality of your typical posts, but I'm at a loss to find any redeeming value in what you've said here.
This chart shows the 2012 US Presidential Candidates political positions.
Here's where I'm at, mapped to the same chart.

[She got] her throat ripped up by something once, we put aloe on it and she made it but now she says "meh" in stead of "mao".
I think that "Chairman Meh" would be a cool/funny name for a cat.

Suck all the air out of your place and wear a spacesuit. You can probably pick up a spacesuit and vacuum pump for not too much at a GSA auction.
How about some id on each wireless access point, which can be tracked through the service providers in the region?
How about "fuck no?"
Doesn't sound unreasonable, particularly if law enforcement is provided with the necessary tools and training.
Authoritarian policies always sound reasonable to authoritarians.
What's with slashdot today?
I ask myself that question every day.
There is 1 city in that county, and it ain't exactly NYC.
Well, there's only 1/5th of one city in New York County. :o)
The average European is a vicious, rabid dog.
So what? Tell us what's important, JockTroll: Is the average European a loserboy?
Why use USB when you have microSD?
Sharp edges.
