Obama State of the Union

[ck_taft325is]

I believe Obama said that. Along with, "Every family is entitled to a place to call home" or some such...

Fixed... "Every family has the right to work towards bettering their life style and condition of living"

Or in other words, "The Pursuit of Happiness".

Huh what? Who said that? A right to a low price of a limited good? Preposterous! That doesn't sound like free markets at all...

You know who subsidizes gas to make it cheap for its citizens? China.

Hugo Chavez in good Venezuela

I'm just mocking those who state that everyone should have a right to free/inexpensive health care.

Why not inexpensive gas as well like in Venezuela?

See where I'm going with this?

Gasoline is a commodity. Health/life isn't. Apples and oranges.

But it's not the Government's job to take care of mine on either count, isn't that right? If you want them to take over and control yours so you don't have to, that's fine. But be prepared to not eat sugar or eggs or cheese or bacon or... etc etc. Maybe they can best choose how many kids you can have? Or maybe where or when you can work and how. Before all that, they'll police what you can and cannot read. Eventually it would work it's way (obviously, with the green trend...) into what you can or cannot drive.

Apples and Oranges, sure. But they're both still fruit.

^for most americans, gas is a necessity...

It´s funny how evolution is only questioned in the US.
Over here in europe? Not very much. Wonder why....

It's obviously because you Europeans are so much better and smarter than Americans, duh. Everyone knows that.

[Anthrax]

Yeah, I know. Hurt´s doesn´t it?

[funcrew]

Yeah, I know. Hurt´s doesn´t it?

I can feel my American nuts shriveling up...

Come on, it´s not so bad. We wouldn´t have had Baywatch if it wasn´t for you guys..

Honest question, with the religion stuff (and hopefully, name calling) behind us (though Hallen, I'd like to buy you a beer). Do you think that the government should stop paying for the 'fruit' of public education?

At a very high level, I think that it is the government's responsibility to provide basic essentials (whether it's directly or through regulation) for it's people - I guess you and I draw the line in different places, is all.

I think you're participating in fear mongering to a certain degree; I think we have enough protection in place to prevent 'full blown socialism' (if you really think that's what the Obama administration wants). I can see how you might be against the green trend - I don't agree 100% (bits and pieces, sure) - but I can empathize to a certain degree. Arguing against giving all people an honest chance at good healthcare though...I just don't understand that. Maybe you haven't been touched personally by people that have been screwed by this system.

If you're arguing HOW the government should handle healthcare, then that's a whole different story...but it seems like you're dismissing it entirely.

as opposed to Sweden, we also have lower number of suicides...


I'd like to say, though, believing in evolution and atheism are not the same thing.
