  1. throwing money at a problem never solves anything really. you need sociological change. nutrition, environment should feel safe, role models, wisdom, solid educational resources, easy access... etc etc. detroit has none of this...
  2. !@#$ goddell. we all know what this is really about...
  3. tom, for once can we just have a normal conversation without being dicks to each other? christ.... you start this **** everytime.
  4. depends on the market. and if there are price controls, people might not go to med school because their investment does not payoff. people do not go to school for 10 years to make 75k a year...
  5. pc culture makes it difficult... i think deniro made a very innocent joke about michelle obama and got attacked by the left- leaning media. i hate pc culture. it's all over the place at school...
  6. im pretty sure lee smith can be a monster blocker from any spot... te/hb/fb... Dickerson will not do that he will be split out catch a lot of balls. If Dickerson does block then it will be OLB. Chan has said that Dickerson will not line up as TE but behind the line. C Mac will get down the field with a head of speed and kill the returner or eat blocks on the returns, no chance Dickerson does that. lee smith is more than capable of doing this, and dickerson has a aaron hernandez skill set. you cant pass that up...
  7. obviously you do... this is creepy and your ignorance is showing... and yes, 3rd did disrespect Pat by trying to distort his views ....
  8. money=power... and.... "the workers never hustle and the hustlers never work" - cocktail tell her that is the nature of political theory.
  9. isn't an issue...then what the hell was the point of the reform? And that's not even considering the other economic unrealities in the legislation. Such as: insured or uninsured, patients still incur costs, and those costs still get passed back ultimately to the American consumer (via taxes or premiums). So where exactly is this savings supposed to come from? Transferring the liability between entities is not "saving" anything. One might argue that it comes from the caps on annual increases on premiums...which ultimately passes the cost to the insurers themselves (which will ultimately bankrupt them and lead to their nationalization...thus achieving birddog's cherished "single payer", albiet much more destructively and expensively than is at all necessary). Which also illustrates the fallacy of addressing "health care costs" by regulating health insurance: by making the insurance more affordable to the consumer while playing a shell game with costs, you're accomplishing at best nothing (at worst backing the health insurance industry - "health care industry," as the supporters of the ACA confuse - into a corner. How is this at ALL constructive reform? this is the most relevant point. in any system, health care will be rationed. private or public. competition can help, taxing the rich to a point can help, having everyone pay into the system can help, etc. but you will never get around the rationing aspect. its just better or worse depending on the system. people always say we spend twice as much as everyone else but as tom pointed out, those costs are just passed on through taxes. this has to do with a fundamental value system of markets. im not so sure health care applies to a market philosophy, one reason being, a person cannot refuse to get health care when they are sick. its not like shopping for shoes. you could imagine how problematic it would be if we all had to have nike shoes in order to survive, the price would skyrocket in a market. a great example of this is what patent laws did to the access to hiv medication, the price went through the roof... this is why health care workers make less in single payer systems. it's a tough question. i lean towards having a market system for basic health care needs, and single payer for catastrophic care. im not sure how this would look budget wise and the problem is so complex, i dont think you can solve the problem unless we developed a much higher technological capacity, like with AI...
  10. the drug war is the problem. the border has nothing to do with it...
  11. Love how this idiot gets right up to the line, and then realizes he's being a fool, and then plays it off by talking about "other people" taking it in the wrong direction. What a moron. the family has said over and over, pat was against bush, and against the war on terror.... not only that, but like the right wing on this board, the army lied and created a cover-up. even going as far to say he died for nothing because Pat and his family were secular... basically, because Pat and his family were on the left, they lied and created a propaganda story. they didnt want an anti-war soldier demonizing the war on terror, both iraq and afghanistan... whether he was murdered. idk, but it's very shady... go to 48 sec
  12. yes, he lied. he tried to make it look like pat was for the war on terror. toure was on point. then 3rd tried to make it political instead of making it about pat and his beliefs.
  13. You do realize the military lied. you do realize Pat was against the war on terror. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/28/pat-tillmans-brother-video_n_741504.html he implied that pat was for the war on terror, when he clearly was not. for christs sake, his family has only said it about a million times.
  14. 3rd comes on here , says he read " reviews of letters " and them summarizes that toure is off in saying pat tillman was against the war on terror and against the bush doctrine... which are undisputed facts. the guy scheduled a meeting with noam chomsky, and was an avid reader of noam... and then some douche says liberals cant imagine giving up their life for their country and leaving millions behind. another sick/delusional comment... 3rd just couldnt stand that such a humble hero was a " left winger " and that toure talked about Tillman's misgivings relating to this whole stupid reaction towards 9-11. ill say it again, this is an appalling thread. its very sick, and disturbing to try and distort what pat really felt in order to play partisan politics on a !@#$ing message board... so Pat Tillman didnt have qualms about the bush doctrine, the war on terror or our whole foreign policy dealing with the middle east? Noam Chomsky wasnt one of his favorite authors? so Tillman wasnt against the war on terror? chomsky wasnt his favorite author? he wasnt against bush? you used Tillman to play politics on ppp. youre a sick !@#$ and need to get a life.
  15. That's why I'm, with complete justification, mocking you. And I know people in the military, too. Guess I'm just as expert as you are. I "allow" someone to lie about Pat Tillman? What? At least I'm not "allowing" you to lie about being in the military, you overblown piece of ****. why do you care so much about my coast guard career? i was in the military, i felt the need to speak up. do you even know what the cg does? you are acting borderline unstable and creepy...
  16. this post literally has nothing to do with what was being said. the question is why did they lie about his death, to a ridiculous level? there was also some evidence that suggested there might have been a murder. this was very similar to the jessica lynch propaganda story. all i can say is this, please stop using pat tillman as some justification for your idea of a " good " war. the guy was clearly against the war in iraq, and wanted to meet with noam chomsky. Pat and his family had major problems with the whole bush doctrine and war on terror. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/200601019_after_pats_birthday/ wiki- Jones reported that members of Tillman's unit burned his body armor and uniform in an apparent attempt to hide the fact that he was killed by friendly fire.[18] His notebook, in which – according to author Jon Krakauer – Tillman had recorded some of his thoughts on Afghanistan, was also burned; "a blatant violation of protocol".[19] Several soldiers were subsequently punished for their actions by being removed from the United States Army Rangers. Jones believed that Tillman should retain his medals and promotion, since, according to Jones, he intended to engage the enemy and behaved heroically.[18] After reports of Tillman's anti-war views became public, Ted Rall who had previously written a comic calling Tillman a "fool" and "idiot," said that he was wrong to have assumed Tillman to be a "right wing poster child" when Tillman regarded the invasion of Iraq as illegal.[44][45] .... Then-Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Kauzlarich, Regimental Executive Officer at Forward Operating Base Salerno on Khost, Afghanistan, under which Tillman was serving at the time of his death, and who led the second investigation into Tillman's death, made statements about the Tillman family’s search for the truth based on Tillman's atheism. In comments to ESPN, Kauzlarich said: "These people have a hard time letting it go. It may be because of their religious beliefs" and "When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don’t believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing and now he is no more... I do not know how an atheist thinks, I can only imagine that would be pretty tough."[46] Kauzlarich conducted the second investigation into Tillman's death which lasted a week, from May 8 to May 15, 2004.[47] Brigadier General Rodney Johnson, the Commanding General of the United States Army Criminal Investigations Command, testified before Congress that he found these statements "totally unacceptable." Acting Department of Defense Inspector General Thomas Gimble also testified that he was "shocked" that Lieutenant Colonel Kauzlarich would make these statements.[48] According to AP analysis, there are three lower level officers expected to be punished, and Kauzlarich may be one of the three. Tillman's mother continues to reject the Pentagon's characterization of the officers' offenses as "errors" in reporting Tillman's death, because several officers have said they made conscious decisions not to tell the Tillman family that friendly fire was suspected.[49] great post.
  17. i never bragged about being in the coast guard, i said being in the military and having friends in all branches, i felt the need to speak up. you dont even know what the coast guard does, your statement shows this... you dont even know how to classify your own ideology. you allow some piece of **** to lie about pat tillman to score pts on ppp. again, get a life...
