Übergeek 바둑이: But how many actually die because of PROVEN poor health care? rather than poor lifestyles,smoking, drinking, obesity? also to think about,, everyone has the right to education at least k-12, but not college, meaning paid by the taxpayers
and there's nothing anyone can do about it, the Mexicans will reclaim the southwest, and more, the Arabs will reclaim the middle east and some of Europe.Who knows what the world will be like in 59 years. for good or bad who's to say?????
Socialism , along with socialized health care in my opinion, can work well in small industrialized nations that have a firm grip on immigration,. But that nation better have a very strong economy. Britain , Canada, Europe, look at at France and its immigration status.. crow all you want now,, but the birth rate is changing, and so is the complexion of Europe and America
it won't be the first time that the so called intelligent liberal elitists try to dictate what the masses should do,,, but of course, not themselves..they are "super" important
Czuch: I see these hollywood liberal elite types all the time bitching and complaining about all types of crap, I can get by on 50K per year, but they are the ones who want us all to be the same, the poor shrinking middle class, those hypocrites could give all their millions they earn to make a film, all except 50K each, and you could pay for every kid in the country to go to school free!!! But you will never see them, or any of the Pelosis of the world, the ones who really care about the common people, you will never see tham give any of their power or money away!!!!
Yes let them eat cake!!!Al gore and his disgusting ilk can go to ........
Übergeek 바둑이: You have good points, but war was here thousands of years before capitalism. Humans will always compete against each other in some form, just like tribes of chimpanzees
Übergeek 바둑이: But they(we) all do anyways, we humans hide behind self righteous stuff as though we're so civilized. We(the good guys,, the side God is on) never will stoop to bad behavior) and the terrorists say the same thing also but the ugly truth is everyone does what ever it takes to win, and always has.. ever study chimpanzee tribe behavior? humans are just a higher form
Übergeek 바둑이: excellent post... reminds me of some friends of mine who say " That job(some type of labor) isn't worth X amount of money, A Mexican{ or illegal immigrant) will do it for Y amount,, Americans won't do this type of work anymore"
件名: Re:come on..most don't have fathers in the house and the mothers have children by different men
Bernice: There are SOME decent schools in the city and they say the Charter schools are good, but there is a big battle to get your child in the decent ones, and there is a big drop off in quality compared to the surrounding suburban public schools
(V): I'm just telling it like it is in Philly, right or wrong and I believe there are stats ,, but if you dont care to see it that way, thats ok too,, those who can and care...send their children to private or Catholic schools in this city
Bernice: mostly in the urban areas only that i know of. there are a few like that in Philadelphia.That is why some people that can flee the cities.others put their children in Catholics schools. and as for those parents??? come on..most don't have fathers in the house and the mothers have children by different men
件名: Re: Longtime GOP Sen. Arlen Specter becomes Democrat
Jim Dandy: he's switching Back where he originally came from, but in my opinion he 's been pretty decent for PA., funny though in past elections, dems would demonize him,thats why both sides make me sick
Anytime it seems when there are these international summits or political conventions,there is trouble ,no matter where in the world. I saw this in Seattle, and Philadelphia some years ago.There are professional agitator or protest groups, like the Ruckus org. that actually advertise and will pay for help in that particular city where an event is going on
(V): I was being facetious, thanks anyways, I wasn't even close to being serious about those questions I certainly don't need people trying to pump ideas or "enlighten me" , even though you may think so. A.D., maybe renaming this The propaganda or special agenda board would be a better fit
件名: Re: 116 dead,4 last week in Afghanistan since 2002
Jim Dandy: I'm sure that the vast majority know and appreciate Canada's help, they've been our allies in both world wars and i believe Korea also.Rightly or wrongly with comedians there is no topic off limit and you can't expect them to be censored every time
Back to the British, they were humiliated by by the iranians, and in Basra and in Helmand province .looked good some years ago against Argentina though
getting permission form Pakistan??? good luck with that they have no control and their secret service is in with the Taliban anyways, when they're not planning attacks on India .that place is soon to be the next Somalia. killing tailban and al qaeida with no permission,, good
sorry, but I have already got land rights on the prime sections, I'm having them subdivided and will be putting up condos shortly,, I could get you a sweet deal on one though
By the way,, any theories or opinions on the bombing of the fed building in OK?? you know the one that got blamed on poor Tim McVeigh and that other guy Nichols??
The Usurper: actually i say and have said leave iran alone, they haven't attacked anyone, there is only one aggressive power in the mideast and that is Israel, and they are the only one with nuclear weapons
