yup, something like 7%-14% interest init? p.s- Chimp, i still think 9/11 was a conspiracy designed by Zionist Jews(jews who follow the Talmud/oral law to the brink of Jewish *extremism*, ex- 10 Commandments only apply to Jews) to start a war on the Arab/Muslim world. Honestly, one of the passengers was the head of counterterrorism for israel on one of the flights that hit the towers, and he did nothing? lul wut *Note how I said Extremism=hijack the words of the Talmud to fit beliefs* -------------------- ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

I don't support a government-run healthcare system for EVERYONE. Disabled people, elderly people, families in tight spots (for example, a child that needs a certain operation that is extremely expensive, or a cancer patient that needs chemo) and children in foster homes/orphanages are the oly ones I think should receive healthcare from the Government. Other than that, if they can't afford basic medical care, they need to get a job and stop asking for handouts. NO HANDOUTS. -------------------- ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

These "Taxes" are at MOST about 1/5th of what you need for the most simple operation. Next time you have an accident and break your leg, or maybe you get in a car accident and loose your legs and they make you pick which one you want more, your left or right leg for around $60, 000 a peice then say "NO HANDOUTS" What middle class person with a fairly good income ($50, 000 - $80 000 a year) can afford that? Let's be serious here. Taxing people for a healthcare for everyone benefits EVERYONE. It is much cheaper then the system you guys down there have now, I guarentee it. And Micheal Moore asked that exact question to Canadians, "Why should I pay taxes for everyone else" and they replied because we would do the same for them. -------------------- 99 Attack 99 Strength 99 Defense 99 HP 99 Range 99 Mage 95 Prayer Proud Ex WG Raid Leader, Ex ZF, Ex ST, and Ex EH.

Right, why should YOU pay for me? Well, you know what, the police have never REALLY come to my house and helped me out, so I'd like to keep that money. There are MANY roads and highways I DO NOT use, so I'd like that back, thanks. Fire Department? Never had any situation where I've needed them, so thanks for that back. What else? National Defense, you know what, they let me down once, so I'd like that back because it seems like a waste. All those national parks that are kept up by the government, I'd like my money back because I don't go see them. The same with museums. But I suppose shelling out money for THOSE things is alright? Honestly, it's not even about people bumming around asking for free healthcare. The people that we're most concerned about are the people that DID work their ENTIRE LIVES and then get FUCKED OVER by greedy healthcare companies because it's cheaper to them if that man or woman dies. This is for the people that DO have jobs and are forced to pay EVERYTHING out of pocket. Ever plan something with someone and then have them bail at the last minute? Maybe planning a party and they're supposed to bring the drinks but they don't even show up? You'd be angry because your party just got fucked over. Now think about that, but multiply it. Instead of having to shell out a few bucks for some sodas, it's your entire life savings. Yeah, let's just fuck over the people that REALLY need help. NO HANDOUTS! MORE MURDER! -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

The US health cares system is bad. If you have the money and coverage its great but if not you will not get the same level of care as a payer. The system is free market and the screws ups are a reflection of the system. How long would you have watched if the movie just showed a normal emergency room where they see the critically ill first and make others wait. Absent an emergency you would get pretty bored watching someone just sit there which has happened to me at times. People with gun shot wounds would go ahead but eventually I was treated. Now, I understand that in other countries medicine is socialized but it still has to be paid for and I understand that taxes are higher as a result so it is a trade off. Cheaper care when you need it at lower cost but higher taxes. In the US lower taxes but very expensive care and the possibility that the care will be inferior because you live in a place where the quality is less because of economics. A situation that may be addressed by the Congress. The long term trend is that the US system is moving towards that of Europe but the system in Europe is strained and there are signs that it is moving toward the system in the US. In short systems are evolving and in the US I hope for the better. -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||

Ok then I claim Muslim's are conspiring to take over the world. Hell read their holy book, it doesn't even make a secret what they think of people who aren't Muslims. They are infidels and must be killed. Christians holy book also is a strong proponent of sexism, and slavery. Since when do Jews want to kill all the muslims? In fact it's the other way around, Muslims have always been the ones attacking Jews and then the Jews counter-attack. I'm not saying Israel has handled the situations the best they could, but they sure didn't instigate this. I'm guessing you're one of these people that believe Jews are going to take over the world through the NWO? I find saying somebody is out to commit genocide while having no proof for your claim extremely racist yes. Please provide me with the evidence and I will gladly look over it, do some independent research, and decide for myself. By the way how would you like to be judged on the basis of your skin color? There's no reason that the color of your skin should have anything to do with the rest of your life. Yes, people are different colors, but there is no reason in any conversation that the color of somebody's skin is somehow of great importance. -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

actually read the jewish talmud(the jewish oral law back in the day).....it states something along the lines of the 10 commandments are meant only for actions with other jews and does not apply to those in other religions and that Jews should be the only religion on the earth. Most Jews have gone past this but there are still jews that think thats how it should be. AKA killing a nonjew is ok, even by the 10 commandments...... o, and you are very wrong in what you think the Koran states, you have never talked to a muslim about their religion, go talk to saad or omar or someone who actually follows the religion you speak about..... I guess ignorance is bliss. -------------------- ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

You state some Jews have gotten past the fact that the Talmud says that. That's how it is with every religion and the holy book they hold so dear. Every holy book I know of from Mormonism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all preach extreme intolerance of other faiths, races, creeds, and sexes or sexual orientation. The only difference is that some people choose to move past this, and others do not. Whether somebody admits what their holy books states or not is not proof of it, since I can do a google search and come up with intolerant and violent quotes from the Quran in a matter of minutes. This is why I can't stand anybody that takes the word of their holy books as literal because all it does is lead to violence, hate, prejudice, and hurt. For starters try searching "Qur'an -" substituting the numbers I post for the - on google and look at what the quotes are: Quotes against infidels: 9:3 8:55 Sexist quotes: Surah 2:228 Surah 4:34 Those are just a few I found in about five minutes. I can do that for just about any religious book you want, all I ask is that you don't take holy books seriously or literally or it leads to things like sexism in the Middle East, the Crusades, and allowing slavery to last well into the 19th century in western countries. -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

Can you show me where is says i pay taxes for libraries and bathrooms? Pretty much I don't think my hard earned money should be taken to benefit people that dont make their own. As I said, elderly/disabled people and kids without parents who can adequately pay should recieve help like this. I don't care have taxes taken for that. Same goes for a government pay out for a cancer patient, for example. But someone with a broken bone goin to the emergency room for a cast? No. People's perscriptions when they could either foot the bill themselves or use regular insurance? no. The whole bit about the police and fire department is a good point, but their salaries are by state a the most, am I right? State taxes are by far less than federal taxes. We're talkin about extra FEDERAL taxes here. And what exactly do you mean by national defense? Hopefully you mean Homeland Security. Can you show me some tpye of tax records for bathrooms, libraries, parks and museums pls? Sounds a bit bogus. -------------------- ![]() | ||||||||||||||||

Saw it in theaters when it first came out and was shocked by quite a bit of the facts. Apart from the Canadian health care system being somewhat slow and unorganized at times, I do prefer a free one as apposed to what Americans must pay out of their pocket for. Another thing, implementing a universal health care system doesn't happen overnight. Sure 1,000,000 people in the USA make 200,000+ per year. But by 2010 the USA is gonna have spent 1 trillion on the middle eastern war campaign they have going on. That's been going on since 2001. So 9 years later. So in 9 years the USA could have universal healthcare. That's not a bad trade off if you ask me. Or they could just do what they always do, lend some more money and save some lives. But ya know, instead they would rather spend their money on the quest for "who can gather the most oil".

I am used to all the healthcare junk and problems, I myself have even been turned away from hospitals just because it wasn't covered with my insurance. What is this garbage? So instead of having the right health insurance you die, the medical treatment in the US is bad enough even with a healthcare plan. When I get my perscribed medicine, even with insurance I pay about $40 average, and when its like serious medicine it can go up to the hundreds. Its a serious issue in the states and needs to be fixed. Fortunatly, it is the main issue currently in American politics, hopefully we don't just push it aside. -------------------- When anyone tells me I can't do anything, I'm just not listening any more.

So you're making the claim that people who aren't disadvantaged by the terms you claim which involves ways people can supposedly not pay for it themselves due to some uncontrolled factor (ie an orphan, older person, etc), but what you fail to realize is that poor people are equally disadvantaged by the very system we employ which is called capitalism. With capitalism it is impossible to have a classless society, and therefore you have the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. For example, somebody grows up in the ghetto, goes to a crappy school, can't go to college because he has no money, and ends up working a crappy job because he can't get a better one, and the cycle repeats, but from what I can tell you would tell these people that they are just lazy and can't pay for insurance because they can't get a job. Also what about the millions of people who are denied care because of bogus pre-existing conditions, and completely out of control private insurance rates which will skyrocket or drop you if you do get sick and need care. You also seem to fail to realize the amount that will actually be saved in the long run by implementing a public option. The ridiculous prices of private insurance will be replaced by a reasonable public option which also helps to keep private insurance in check. Initially yes this will cost a lot, but over time it will eventually save more money than the current private healthcare we have now. The taxes will be placed mostly on people making more than 250k, which Obama has stated numerous times, and I repeat it once again. A very low percent of people make this much, and I think helping save lives is a bit more important than your summer home in the Bahamas. Not sure if public restrooms are taxed but I'm fairly sure most public museums, national parks, and public libraries are payed for by taxes. -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||
