time for a little non-seqs [video:youtube]KEK4RJ3hnZc

i'm noticing my ability to create complete sentences and spell correctly has been greatly diminished. can i buy insurance for this? probably not...it is pre-existing. http://gawain.membrane.com/insurance/nervous_disorders.html

Well if you look into my detailed report on the Viking Way, you'll find that it covers those points. Section IV. Paragraph 3 states "All mead must rationed such that all warriors can slake their thirsts after pillaging and looting each village".

well read the report then! maybe there is meat in it. anyway, so now we have two items for the Obama Healthcare Idea Box: 1. Health insurance across state lines 2. The Viking Way

i have no idea about the report or that org. but just saying you always have a "choice" doesn't mean that such a change won't have a negative effect on the overall ecosystem of healthcare. i haven't read the report, that is just a synopsis. maybe we can get Jay to read and counterpoint on it for us. i don't know how to read.

it sounds like its because of the federation of the states... first google hit for me: http://www.newamerica.net/pressroom/2008/across_state_lines_explained_why_selling_health_insurance_across_state_lines_not_answer

And how come no one has told Obama about it? Jay may have solved our nations health care problems. We just need to get this idea box in Obama's lap!

hhahaha the qouting got all fubar on you jay...now you're qouting me spraying your words i hope they address this in the next version of the board. it got screwed up in the last upgrade (by design) and i hope they change it back to the way it was.

so that is the big fix? allow policies to be sold across state lines? explain or link please!

lulz that clip is very popular.

Scale is more important than structure? Interesting viewpoint - I hope that you'll expand on this point in more detail. well it can be. if you're attempting to compare what works for a nation of a few hundred thousand (of a certain economic and social make up) to a country of hundreds of million on the other side of the globe with a completely different economic and social make up...thats scale...i don't think you can hardly compare the two. it doesn't even matter what structure they have. maybe that is what the WHO report is doing, but if conclusions one draws from the report don't take the complexity of scale, esp. when the differences are huge (i.e. Malta vs. the US) then structure doesn't even hardly matter.

The major unstated premise here seems to be that, even under conditions of open competition, profits can only be realized by cheating consumers. you're going to the extreme there jay. its not "cheating consumers" its "maximizing share holder value". you see, it isn't all bad...because someone is winning! the shareholder. thats why the corporation exists.

plus they have Capitalist Death Executives, instead of spreading the responsibility across a committee.

I heard Montgomery Wick free solo downclimbed it in full winter conditions...just for sport. And do you think he told a soul? Nope.

jeez...you didn't even give her family the opportunity to try and talk some sense into to her?

even when you freeze those things, they don't keep. they taste aweful, and are hell on your teeth.

"It's just a jackass stunt that sets a bar"

i love it too! i HEART it! 8D

That last bug sure has an unfortunate latin name.

Well they only had 27 people to deal with. The rest couldn't afford it. Fucken hippies.

Sorry I don't fit in with whatever point of view you're coming from there Fairweather, but I blew smoke up no ones ass. If you inhaled from whatever, I can't speak to that.

but seriously Jay. If you're going to dis the WHO report, as least be a little more responsible in your own analysis. like steven said, give us some pie charts. make real scientific analysis rather than just being the snide and sarcastic counter point to those you despise. that my job anyway. non-sequiter.

fucken a prole. haven't you seen the various videos from town halls? apparently Obama is Hitler and his Healthcare plan is the Final Solution. get with it.

neat qoute. ergo he thought that those without a conscience were on better footing than those with one when it came to tyranny. it may be better to live without morality than live with the wrong morality. interesting stuff from the good Christian Mr. Lewis.
