phildozer This is true, but they are only allowed to exist because they do not infringe on the rights of other americans. We do have Illinois nazis, sure, but they are only allowed to be because even though they preach hate, they dont act on it in a criminal or...

I do think it needs to be fixed. But I don't like this plan. At least not waht I have read so far. I don't like the insurance companies dictating people's medical decisions. And I definately don't want the gov to do it. So here is...

phildozer What would you have them think about? Theyve had since the 90's when Hilliary called for reform. They've had since Obama took office to think up stuff. They get all of august to think it over. How much time do you want them to spend thinking about a bill thats...

phildozer But the article and indeed history maintain that its the violent minority that are the ones who lead the country to fascism. Its those anti-foreigners, who we could probably all assume are on the conservative end of the spectrum, who stir up hatred and fear,...

Could God microwave a burrito so hot, that he himself could not eat it? If we are to believe that God is omnipotent, the surely he can do whatever he pleases. Of course heat shouldnt matter to him, because hes God and he can do...

phildozer So youre saying that God cant do something? God is all powerful, so he definitely should be able to surpass infinity. The question is basically, is God so powerful that he can defy basic logic? If he is all powerful, he should be able to, but alas it seems...
