health issues in alaska are going to be different than in towntown manhatten, as such the entire country shouldnt pay for "accidental death by bear" because of alaskans, and people in alaska shouldnt pay for smog related diseases. There is no good reason for that.
so why didnt obama try and fix the problem you described instead of making things worse with obamacare? If we took insurance out of the meployeers hands, payed the employee the cost that he spent on HC each year one would be able to buy their own outside of work
if I have moral objections to eating sandwiches, and I pay for a sandwich, and throw it away -- tada! I haven't violated my morals
true, your morals are not violated, but one, you just took a sandwich that someone else who wanted it could have had, and now doesnt, and you spent money that you could have spent on the hotdog that you actually wanted instead. now you have less money, and you still have an empty stomach
yes, there is a reason it is wrong. Why would I pay for a service I dont want nor will use? so it can be cheaper for other people? call me selfish if you wish but I dont care about that. If I do not want a product, the federal government should in no way be able to force me to do so. There has never been a point in time where the federal government mandated that you MUST buy X or pay a fine/tax if you dont. What is next? we get a president who is gung ho for guns and mandates that everyone buy a pistol and training classes? I would wager most people would not be supportive of that, but by the same logic, if everyone had a pistol and had proper gun training, it would prevent alot of needless death, Its preventative care!
you can get the pill for about 20 bucks a month, When I was younger and my girlfriend and I became sexually active, I drive her to go get them, it was no big deal. Sorry, but something like that is in no way needed to be paid for by insurance, If you cant afford 20 bucks a month for the pill, or use free condoms that you can get damn near anywhere, maybe you shouldnt be having sex to begin with.
I want someone to explain to me why its ok that I should pay for other peoples sex drugs? To be fair I dont believe you should be able to get viagra on insurance either
Is this one of those fabricated scandals like Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS going after conservatives, the President lying about the AHA, Holder lying in front of congress repeatedly..
Not at all like those ones, With those ones they just denied it even happened or blames things that had nothing to do with the issues. With this they admit that its happening and dont even pretend to care that they are abusing their power
here is my argument for that, I dont know if you would consider it reasonable or not.
Because they dont need it and should be focused on other people. I dont want them having a backlog of everything I have ever said or ever done. That to me is unreasonable.
My thoughts on this are simple. It is in us, the people who live in the USA's best interest that this leak happened. Plain and simple the NSA has been running wild with a total disregard to the constitution. I personally want to see the NSA disbanded as they will never be taken seriously again by america, and they will never be trusted again by the rest of the world.
Now as for doing damage that is in regards to other countries, I think the way snowden went about things was actually the best way he could have given the circumstances. He did not just dump the files, unredacted for the entire world to see and learn from. The articles and information that up until this point been released have been screened pretty well to protect numerous secrets.
From my point of view yes Id love to see all the data, unredacted but I underrstand that would have been a disaster for a number of reasons, one of those reasons being the concern of the people who are anti snowden, they are making the argument as if the entire treasure was dumped. but it wasnt so their argument doesnt hold water. The other reason, and the oneI am more concerned with is that if he dumped it all at once, it would be much easier for our no attention span having population to forget about it and move on to the new shiny of the day, and all of that information would be for nothing.
I take it you have never seen MSNBC then. MSNBC is to further to the left (their motto is lean forward for god sake) than even fox does to the right and thats saying something. Everything I see on MSNBC is race baiting or calling out fox for XYZ, there is no actual news being reported its just all attacks on fox for the most part
no sarcasm intended actually I was agreeing with you. AOL had a good run from say 95-99, myspace from about 2000-2004 and myspace from about 05-2011, twitter has been gaining momentum and everything from about 2010 til ???
But a stand-alone messaging service is easily ditched, or used alongside another one.
Very much this. At the height of its day, EVERYONE had an AIM name, (im talking before universal clients like trillian) If you were in middle school or high school, you had AIM. when myspace came around the need for a stand alone client
BBS were cool, well not really i nthe general sense. Then AOL was cool, you saw a aol keyword on everything, on all commercials etc. Than it was myspace, everyone had to be on myspace. then it was FB, everyone had to have a FB, then twitter, you see #this and #that everywhere. Looks like snapchat is next.
I know im getting old because I am behind the curve with snapchat, Ive heard of it, have no idea what it is, dont really care, every thing prior listed I remember being involved with in some way shape or form
interesting story. I was at lowes doing some christmas shopping, we had decided on a 25$ limit for each other this year and I found a gift card to some outdoors shop that my buddy really likes so I went to buy it. When at the register the card could not be found in the system. They called IT and sales audit and they realized they screwed up, the cards were invalid (bad batch) and should have been pulled from the shelves. He ended up giving me a 50$ card for 25$s because of the mixup. This is good customer service

I never said they cant or shouldnt, Im referring to the fine I have to pay by not getting insurance
what is best for people who live in wont be whats best for those living in north dakota or alaska.

they always had a choice, they chose to pick the coverage through work
im not sure if this is an excellent troll, or just a brain dead moron
I would wager that at least 1 part in your computer or phone you use to get on the internet is made up of some oil from the ground
forgot... we've evolved beyond the need to watch people get killed for our entertainment, right?
of course not, havent you seen any of damn near every movie hollywood puts out? we all love watching people get killed

right, because the internet is so old, we shouldnt use it either. And cars, they are like 120 years old now! why would anyone use something so old!!
my younger sister likes to use "whatevez"

google FOCRES people to use real names? thats funny, I have a few google accounts, only 1 actually has my real name. Mike Ock would disagree with you
I believe salary = the most I can get for the work I produce.
I totally agree with what you are saying in that regards
