What do you think is causing health care legislation protesters?

bziebarth @bziebarth (228) • United States 10 Aug 09

Here in Missouri, a man protesting the health care legislation was beat up. Nanci Polosi has called health care protestors "Nazis". A photographer taking pictures of union members harassing protestors had the camera shoved into...

phildozer Its becoming much more than it should be. earlier on, there were accusations that some big money interest groups were shuttling anti health care protesters to other districts in order to yell at the democratic congressmen and make those protestors seem like...

sophisticated_boy @sophisticated_boy (1457) • Indonesia 8 Aug 09

Mine is Michael Clayton. It received great praise from the critics, received a Best Picture nominee along Best Actor for George Clooney and gives Best Supporting Actress title to Tilda Swinton, but I found this movie extremely...

phildozer Citizen Kane made me want to stab myself in the face. Perhaps it was one of the best movies for an older generation, but I was looking for every excuse to make the boredom end

Zombies, possible?

merlinsorca @merlinsorca (1118) • United States 7 Aug 09

This discussion is pure speculation, with really no facts. A discussion about the undead. We've all seen the movies. The unstoppable zombies, with endless hordes spreading through the city/world. But could this happen in real...

phildozer Zombie are definately not possible in the sense that they can just rise up from the ground, because if they were to rise up, we would all be dead. You cant kill something thats dead, except with some powerful flamethrower/death ray. therefore they would take...

Are you open minded in your beliefs about your religion?

themdno @themdno (402) • United States 7 Aug 09

What I mean is, do you consider other religions, and other beliefs, before you came to believe what you do? I know a few religious people, who believe in their religion, but know nothing about other religions. Yet, they think...

phildozer All religions should be treated with fairness, and often I will treat those who are religious the same way they will treat me as someone who doesnt really believe in it. Everyone needs religion to comfort them. It will answer everything you dont know and a...

Creationism, Evolution, Or Creation at It's Best????

bird123 @bird123 (10643) • United States 7 Aug 09

People argue all the time about evolution and creationism. I have some problem with both. Let's take evolution. the biggest problem I have with evolution is that God is not involved. This physical world was created for the...

phildozer Well in order to believe in evolution, which there is evidence for, you would have to accept that some parts of the bible aren't accurate (assuming you're christian). However, if youre going to believe in creationism, the bible does say that adam and eve were...

The Recession, Is It really the beginning of the end?

ashley1171 @ashley1171 (109) • United States 7 Aug 09

As I was watching the news last night Obama was speaking, and he was talking about unemployment rates dropping and housing prices being up for the first time in three years. Now my question for you is do you really think it is...

6 responses

phildozer A lot of people say that unemployment numbers are typically lagging behind the rest of the economy, so the fact that these numbers from july are going upward is a very promising sign indeed. The sooner we get back on our feet again, the sooner we can start...

Lawyers vs. Doctors

jbg45638 @jbg45638 (88) • United States 7 Aug 09

Lawyers vs Doctors who is richer? Who is more honest? Who is more ethical? Who works harder? Who is more cunning? Which one leeches of the other?

4 responses

phildozer Doctors are more everything. Lawyers are like mosquitos, there are too many of them and all they do is suck. They feed off of people's misfortunes, and often will lie, mislead, cheat, not because they believe in the cause, but because winning gets them paid. A...

Obama's Healthcare Fallacy

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 6 Aug 09

phildozer Dont worry, I'm confident that the democrats, even when controlling the house, senate, and white house, will still find some way to screw up reform. I dont think that voting against reform is going to do them any favors though, they will never be able to...

What came before the "Grandfathered Health Insurance" scare

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 5 Aug 09

Granted, the health care bill is very long and I'm still not sure if it's a good thing but, what I do know, is that taking bits and pieces of it and posting them out of context is an unfair misrepresentation of the facts. So, if...

Relieving Corporations of the Responsibilities of Offering Health Benefits

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 5 Aug 09

If that was how the current health care debate was framed, how many of you who support it would be screaming against it? Yet the very bills being considered now do just that! How does it feel to support your government's...

My honest attempt to find middle ground on healthcare, what do you think?

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 5 Aug 09

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...

Just wondering... wasn't Senator McCain Born in Panama?

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 5 Aug 09

You know, John McCain... wasn't he born in Panama where his father was stationed? Anybody have proof otherwise?

5 responses

phildozer Well if you look at his birth certificate, it says he was born in some hospital off of the base, and that city he was born in was not what the panamanians allowed us to use when they permittied us to use the land to build the canal, so If mccain was elected...

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 5 Aug 09

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 5 Aug 09

I wonder how many of our senators will vote to support institutionalized racism? Sotomajor on the Supreme Court is no less racist than David Duke on the Supreme Court.
