Well, my point was more of "hey there's some crazies out there" gun, knife, bombs...they'll use whatever so why are so many people hung up on only guns?KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
No no, owning a gun means you have acute awareness settings and the ability to react with split second decisions despite an adrenaline dump. You're probably just a pussy that is afraid of guns.
If someone was going aggro in public, would you be a cowering pussy or would you go rambo on his ass and shoot a flaming bullet down his throat? Simple question.
Sales tax is local tax, not FederalJay wrote:
The concept of sales tax is ridiculous anyway. The money being spent was already taxed when it was earned, and then it's taxed again when it's spent.
Yes, unlike the other companies which have decided their new product lines will be restricted to bigger SUVs.Jay wrote:
No, it wasn't the primary goal, but it is one of the consequences. Obama picked the CEO, a CEO that had no experience in the automotive industry, and immediately GM started pumping large amounts of money into the Volt. The government still owns 32% of the company, even after the stock issue, so if you don't think they influence decision making...KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
While I don't agree with this professors stupid idea, you guys are showing your own ignorance if you think the GM bailout was to instill a politically palatable CEO and push a green objective. Don't be so fucking stupid, Jay
I think they did - usually these are funded by bonds that are approved by the local election. Payments for interest and principal usually come from increase in property tax.Spearhead wrote:
It's when taxpayers are on the hook for this bullshit that I suddenly become a Jay-like libertarian. If these people are so rich then they should have built it themselves.

Well, seems like a bad idea to go to war just to end the government.Trotskygrad wrote:
like I said, the objective would be to topple the government, and make the "official" army surrender. We're not talking about nation building here.Pug wrote:

Again you missed the point. The US GOV'T has to change its mindset to do this properly. You guys already got it figured out so it's no big deal.Uzique wrote:
you just linked me an article where every single medical professional was paid six-figures - £140,000. isn't that like a quarter of a million in dollars? then you say that government "pays the workers cheap". as for lack of responsibility: how can a system possibly have less sense of medical responsibility than one where the ultimate driving force is 'save as much money as possible - maximise profits'? doctors in the uk here are rewarded if they manage to help their patients cut out smoking, improve their blood pressure, come in for regular check-ups, etc. they actually get paid more annually as a performance-incentive for running a better practice. and by 'better' i mean 'in the interests of the people using it', not 'better' as in 'saves the parent company loads of money'. even when this stuff is staring you in the face you just mumble some dumb stuff about big government and carry on sleeping on the fact 50,000 people a year in america die because they can't afford healthcare. that's disgraceful. world's most advanced nation my arse.

no i'm not a socialist, i just believe that standardization in the interests of offering good health treatment is a better option than the alternative that you title 'profit'. call me a dirty commie but i don't like to hear the term 'profit' used in the context of an institution that serves a fundamental humanistic principle. humanism is not corporatism.
