Should pharmaceutical companies be nationalised?

bagpusspoo @bagpusspoo (7) • Bulgaria 17 Mar 12

I think that the fact that pharmaceutical companies are profit making organisations has a detrimental affect on the medicines and health care available. Companies don't research drugs which they can't profit from, which meas that...

FireHorse I agree with your sentiment but I'm not sure the solution is nationalizing these corporations. Pharmaceutical companies are based on greed, like all corporations. Why cure a disease like cancer, diabetes or depression when you can make much more money...

"McBush" Opposed to New G.I. Bill

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 25 May 08

You've probably all already heard that John McCain and President Bush are both opposed to the new G.I. Bill which would expand educational benefits to our veterans. This bill, introduced by Senator Jim Webb, had over 50 sponsors...

FireHorse It seems quite odd to me that the politicians that say they support the troops and call those who oppose their own war efforts traitorous refuse to support the troops with an education or even simple armor to protect themselves. Yet they are willing to spend...

OK, Who Moved the North Star?

Sparks @sparkofinsanity (20471) • Regina, Saskatchewan 19 May 08

FireHorse The easiest way I know of to find the north star is by using the big dipper which can be seen all year round even in a brightly lit city. Use the first two stars in the leading edge of the big dipper which forms it's cup and follow them in a straight line...

FireHorse I think the mass media has created the definition of the entire biosphere of the Earth for environment. As a result, I think most people now view the word "environment" as a global concept. So most now tend to see the issues as overwhelmingly large and ignore...

FireHorse Many of the same polutants that cause acid rain may be contributing to global warming. Another connection is that acid rain can cause widespread disease and death in forest systems which help filter the very polutants out of the system so the problem can...
