Funny you should call me an idiot, yet you haven't said the kinds of things you have done for the community (other than that you don't want to "brag" about it), you probably don't really have a job (how else can you post so much?), and I'd be shocked to find out you went to a really good school, for someone who calls other idiots. Not that a good school should matter, though because as Pika pointed out-a great school does not equate to a good job or living. Keep posting away, though!

Epchick, still don't know what your problem happens to be.

Now that posting back and forth through this pissing contest with people I don't even know (nor would I want to in real life), I do have to get back to work...YES...WORK. I know that is hard concept for some people (DS) with their 7,000 posts or (DS) with their smiley face comments when nothing of value can be said, but I must do it. Have a lovely day. ;)

Those kids were not treated fairly, and several white kids got away with some pretty bad things. In the end a few of the 6 got arrested for crimes later and people want to say, "See, they're just thugs and got what they deserved." Which is crap. What they did is wrong, but the punishment should fit the crime.

USA Today: Opinions turn favorable on health care plan

Some, yes, but not all, for sure. We do eat quite a bit of the cost. Which is why my system has had (essentially) a hiring freeze, cut retirement matching, has had no raises in 3 years (of any kind.. cost of living, merit, promotions), no bonuses in as long, and we pay more and more for our health insurance too. We have been providing more care than we are getting paid for and our net loss is growing as more and more people are unemployed.

Thanks for the correction.

But wait. Are you suggesting that health care and the uninsured actually may have an effect on the broader economy?!

Weel u joinz me phull-tyme?

__ Y __ N

Oh and what the hell was als463 talking about with Jena 6 and stuff? Oh well.

I'm still not sure about the uproar over this health bill. My bet is that 95% of the people on both sides of the issue (especially those who are pissed off and trying to kick ass over it) don't know what the uproar is really over. Was this thread ever really about the bill or was it a side convo about doctor and general health insurance stuff?

That's generally because many of them are supporters or at least "trust Obama" regardless. They should be perceivably less ridiculous if they have nothing to really be pissed off about. They are happy as heck.

Some of them don't know exactly why they're happy because they don't know what the health bill entails. They know just enough to justify being happy.

It's one thing for one person to disagree with you about something... BUT EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD IS TELLING YOU TO STOP.

P.S. Thank you for taking off your signature.

There happens to be a group on here who also like to provoke others and it is not only that idiot Madmax/Sako/Rasputin et al. A little bit of "our gang" mentality on GC and if you disagree with the "gang" you are subject to their wrath. But when they tire they claim it is all good fun.:rolleyes:

And, going with the gang mentality, are you part of the rival gang now?

Because CLEARLY we've all lost our individuality and are buddy buddy since we happen to post within minutes and hours of each other and type similar things.

I feel as though people want quick fixes and overnight remedies for everything. For example, people acted like Obama was going to end the recession and the war. The smart people realize that these things are compromises and good starts. Or, they can be complete FAILS but you never know until it either succeeds or fails.
