Well, I was extending your logic. You said that you have to buy insurance if you have a car because only people with cars have to worry about having insurance. All of the examples that you cited required people to pay only if the tax or insurance applied to them. Then when you get to health care, you throw that logic out the window to suit your opinion.
The real problem I have with this 'you must buy health insurance or else' clause, is the fact that I now have to pay money for the right to be a citizen of this country.
This has never existed before. All previous taxes/fees/mandated insurance were based on you doing/earning something first:
Income taxes: Only if you earn money
Auto insurance: Only if you drive a car
Property taxes: Only if you own property
Health Care: Only if you can get sick or injured
Now, however, the second you become an adult in this country you have to pony up money to the government or insurance company, or else you will be fined.
I am strongly opposed the the bill, but your logic fails.

Great, they rebuilt the Death Star a second time and now we found it.
Come on, that was a long time ago. And really far away.
I've read the whole thing several times. Just genuinely curious where to find this reference.

Sorry. I guess it didn't occur to me that not earning an income or not living somewhere was somehow an option.

I don't care how the stuff that I like was made, I just like the stuff that I like.
How about Buffy the Dolljedi Flying Firewalker?
John Williams? I thought all the music in Star Wars was by Gustav Holst!

You lost me at calling homosexuals fools. Your points are valid but you need to find some class.
It will probably be a priority to get images running off the HD then.

Why emphasize that it's per subscriber?

Well, it used to be shithouse. I thought it was a good change.

"this is not off-topic, this is the exact same first thought I had."
Well then, on-topic it is.
Perhaps he needed to make sure his mafia wars character was doing ok. Maybe he needed to rob some mega casinos or something.
Just because it can penetrate 200 ft does not mean that it will leave a 200 ft hole.
Is that better?
Nadal Natal?
Would you like to play a game? ... of Jeopardy?
I agree with all of this, but you forgot about the jump cuts. Call me crazy, but I actually like to be able to tell what's going on in a fight scene.
Well, if nobody has ever been prosecuted, it must not be illegal. Phew!
