Honestly, do you ever read what people write? I've already covered all of that.

Just because you've covered something doesn't mean the covering is valid.

Then he might want to post the bits that he doesn't agree with.

What passes for left wing in the US would be described as centre right in the majority of the rest of the world.

You think the TP is similar to a paramilitary group?

Yes, but not quite there. They certainly bully people into their way of thinking.

Far right is far right.

Forgetting any potential idiocy that can be done with DNA (e.g copying it to make clones), what is the difference between this and fingerprints?


The DNA contains vastly more information than a fingerprint does. It would be surprising if we didn't come up with all sorts of ways of utilizing that ...

He cut the power that the insurance companies have by requiring everyone to have insurance?

Yes. By ensuring that they can't say no to people based upon pre-existing conditions. Granted, I still think it is a stupid way to do it, but that is indeed the overall effect it had.

Really though, that ...

BBS has a point, if prostitution was legal, we would have cheaper, safer and better quality prostitutes. Prostitutes would have safer jobs as well.

The law was there, the lawyers knew how to use it.

Not to mention less human trafficking. And less people being forced into it in general. As well ...

Furthermore, just because some people who claim to be Christians, or claim to follow the bible, do horrible things, doesn't mean the bible is horrible.

If you compare the bible with the Koran it's actually quite simular, however, the bible actually promotes peace. The Koran however does have ...

fascinating! A lot of people here were very upset when my Obamacare thread was named "socialized healthcare". They even tried to get me in trouble for it. Funny eh?

Let's not talk about Obamacare here though, k?

Wow.... poor your reading skills are.

But sure. We can certainly go back to talking ...

Can you say brown shirts?

Seriously. This is what the Tea Party reminds me of.

Are you American? Just curious about the way you use "I have options in Obamacare"

Nope. Norwegian. But I know enough of you silly yanks . Besides, it is kind of analogous to our (rather more complete) socialised medicine here. I wouldn't trade you for the world, but there are certainly ...

One thing that is necessary for all of this to work is for the people to trust the government, which sadly is NOT the case in recent history and certainly not today.

My first thought is that in the future the samples can be valuable information for things like pharmaceutical companies marketing ...

If I had a Big Brother, he'd look like Obama.

Obama is far from blameless, but the PRISM program was instituted under Bush.

So much for change eh?

I especially "liked" this part:

A surgical mask is sometimes placed over the detainee to prevent them from spitting out the nutritional ...

Good point about the fingerprints, in particular. I'd still like it better if it were after conviction, rather than after arrest.

Eh, if anything it should be after they are charged. Otherwise you couldn't use their DNA in the trial.

That would be an improvement. But it still wouldn't be ...

What I'm not a fan of is family neighborhoods where small children are playing and people are lunching being routinely disrupted by police racing through in armored cars bristling with machine guns while barking orders through loudspeakers and pointing their high-powered, military-grade weapons ...

We did well after World War II. I see no reason why a smaller but similar plan wasn't engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq, PARTICULARLY since it should have been commonly expected for those two military actions to have royally pissed off Muslims in general and particularly given how much money we were ...

And is government capable of systemically overcoming that problem?

With regard to the US and intervention, the answer is no.

Worked pretty well in Yugoslavia. Still tensions there, but at least they aren't killing each other.
