  1. That's when America goes bankrupt and people lose their entitlements. Like what is happening with Greece.
  2. Found this article on why Obamacare is an absolutely atrocious piece of legislation, from the standpoint of freedom. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/absolutely-infantilizing-dr-keith-ablow-explains-psychological-impact-of-health-care-ruling-to-megyn-kelly/
  3. You'll have to excuse my assumption that you're in the US (this is a thread about the US Presidential election :razz: ), politics and viewpoints in the rest of the world are much different and I wouldn't pretend to know anything about other countries.
  4. I know you're trying to be a little dramatic here to get him to consider some other possibilities, but c'mon, now you're just making yourself look silly if you really believe this. Mostly I take offense to using the word "idiot" to describe people with differing viewpoints. It's that type of arrogance that makes politics nasty.
  5. Fixed it for you. My only question is have you even considered the rationale behind a differing opinion. If only we could get the rest of your friends and the internet users jobs...
  6. 60 votes is enough for cloture, which breaks a filibuster. Mitt Romney also raised something like $4.2 million in the 24 hours after the Supreme Court Ruling. Right now it's looking like the Republicans will have 45 seats versus Dem's 48 seats, with 8 seats "up for grabs". Depending on the economy, campaign fundraising and voter turnout, the Republicans could very well have the majority. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/senate/2012_elections_senate_map.html
  7. I'm going to post a bit of a civics lesson, because I don't feel like arguing. Pretty much the first statement you'll find in any driver's education book is that "Driving is a privilege, not a right." In order to gain the privilege to drive a car in a state, you must insure others from the damage you might cause them. Hopefully you can understand why auto insurance is different than health insurance negotiated group plans. Also, a principal of Federalism is that states are allowed to legislate as they see fit; the point being if you don't like a state's law, you should move to another one. You can't do that with a country. If you don't like being American, tough shit. You can't just say, screw you guys, I'm going to be French now. Other countries aren't that nice. Federalism also means that the government can do only what's listed in the Constitution, no more. Their powers are enumerated and finite. What the Obama administration argued was that the individual mandate was not a tax, and that the commerce clause allowed them to mandate that people buy health insurance or pay a fine. What the Supreme Court ruled was that the commerce clause did not allow the government to force citizens into purchasing healthcare. Instead, the Supreme Court ruled that the health care law is a tax, and that the government is allowed to tax its citizens. The surprise vote in all this was Chief Justice Roberts, who voted in favor of letting Obamacare stand. I believe he did this so that he could write the majority opinion, which changed the meaning of the law. It also prevented the liberals from writing a dissent and creating precedent for future courts. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this is bad news for Obama. Nothing lights a fire under a tea-partier's ass like knowing the only way to repeal Obamacare is by voting out the progressives and liberals in congress, and voting out Obama. Also, something like 58% of all Americans want Obamacare to be thrown out completely, this put another millstone around Obama's neck. It also makes him a liar-liar pants on fire for his campaign promises in 2008 and later touting his plan (I will not have an individual mandate, reduce costs of healthcare, this is not a tax, this will not raise the deficit, strengthen medicare/aid).
  8. Recently I've been watching Malcolm in the Middle. I find the show to be absolutely hilarious, and I'm sad I can't buy seasons 2-7 on dvd. I think the show has great continuity, and now that I've been watching episodes linearly there are certain things (like the hamster in a ball) that wouldn't make sense otherwise but as inside jokes have me lmao. TNPW be in some color other than white.
  9. The other thing about some of the console games is there really is no substitute for some group games on the PC. I haven't seen anyone with a PC play DDR with real life friends, or any of the Wii/Kinect/Move type games.
  10. This is what I wear to work, they're steel-toed shoes. TNPW be in 20 words or less.
  11. I achieved my first 99 today in strength. It was also my 1300th total level. For the people that took the time to congratulate me, I held a drop party of items totaling 13M. I know you think the idea is backwards, but to be honest I don't care. Play how you want to play, celebrate how you want to celebrate, just don't expect anyone to go out of their way to be nice to you when you level up.
  12. Any idea if this will be F2P Lmao who we kidding.
  13. Today most of my pings were ~500, normally they're ~67. :???:
  14. Will be 1300 total on Saturday. Will post a picture then. :mrgreen:
