How about those who willfully pass false information to congress and the public?

So if malpractice is 1% of the total, and the total cost is rising 10% a year, how does changing malpractice insurance reduce the skyrocketing costs of healthcare?

No, it's the Chinese's slur for Japan. With 4x the population of Japan, China has a bit more growth in it. Not to mention they are at the production evolution stage that Japan was 50 years ago, you remember, 25 years before Japan was going to own us? I'm sure you have the sort of NVA job that's impervious to economic cycles, so carry on.

You belong on monkey island.

Newsflash: China isn't Japan!

So we should bar all suits - or cap the awards at a pittance? Shield people who perform unauthorized penile enlargements? Allow drug companies to perform cynical settlement calculations like Ford did with the Pinto? Doesn't sound like much of a solution.

Because they don't want to go they shouldn't pay? Sorry I'm not a bleeding heart here - they have money to pay. When they were alive they could only keep the house if they were expecting to return. Since they obviously didn't return why should they be able to shield their assets? To put it simply: Why should everyone else pay for them to pass things on to their heirs?

I wish my kids a million dollars. If I don't have it, they don't get it. If it was Grandma's choice to go to the Nursing home, then she made the choice to not pass on the house. My grandmothers currently planning to make that choice. I'm neither ignorant nor heartless only responsible. I'm not sure why someone else should get to pass things on to their grandchildren and I should have to pay the bill for her generosity. Elder care for those who don't have the means to pay for it is one matter, if you are passing on an estate of greater than $50k you clearly had the means to pay for a good bit more of your care than you did

They had the choice to take grandma into their home and pay for her themselves, and keep the assets, or have the government pay for her care and then forfeit the assets. I confess I'm at a loss how the government confiscating a persons property to pay for services directly used by that person is heartless and cruel. Yeah, healthcare needs reform. It'll come over the dead bodies of congress, the drug companies, the insurance companies and the doctors.

So you can suckle on the federal teat, but when the bill comes do you shouldn't have to pay? That's an outrage.

Depends if I'm clothed or not.

Since when is Scalia a "liberal"?

eh, did I ever say the liberal jurors didn't fuck up? They did. Strict constitutionalism is an even bigger pile of shit. Divining meaning from 200 year old texts. What's next, divining meaning from 2000 year old texts? Oh, thats right, the nut cases think you can do that, too. To atone for my previous sin I gave the Reagan library the finger as I drove past, not once, but twice today.

So what'd you think when Texas condemned private land to build the baseball park for the Rangers that dear W was in charge of? Yeah, this sucks. WTF else is new. The Rehnquist court specializes in giving people the shaft. When it isn't passing the buck.

Checkout the Magellan eXplorist series - the 500 & 600 are smaller than the 60cs, same featureload, and way more useful than an eTrex. The base eTrex sucks. Crappy compass, crappy battery life. If you really want something for winter navigation, learn to use a compass & altimeter. Batteries die quick in the cold.

There were 6 parties lined up for Cerro Torre this year one day alone. The place ain't wilderness anymore. The roads well on its way to widened, and soon paved. El Chalten is a town now. It's grown up, perhaps the climbers should too?

Why? The hikers stay for a couple of days the climbers stay for months. Every fucking gringo there had a TNF, Bibler or MH tent - real starved for cash Visit one of the climbers only basecamps and look at how little environmental impact that .7% causes - as much as the other 90%.

The apostrophe isn't because their grammar is as bad as mine.

I think you'd do better moving that 10lbs into, say, a D cup and a better ass.

La Sportiva NA is in Boulder. FWIW my Towers are still in working kit

Peaches for me? Peaches for free?

No sag with that combo. Would be funny to see in the pool.

Isn't 450cc a little small? Whats that a B?

I've had rangers do that for NCNP and easy ridge.

Is it possible to delete posts after more than a day?
