I don't give two shits if I disgust morons or not - especially ones who do not understand the question is always the same. The only one confused about "need" and "right" is you, moron. This has nothing to do with need and there is absolutely nothing that guarantees that only the poor will sell...

Answer the question, Thundershit. What gives you the right to dictate to other people what they can and can't do with their bodies?

BTW, if you want to whine about your claim that asking you to donate to the poor is "childish", go search through one of the old health car threads yourself. You're barely worth my time on this issue. I'm not going digging for your bullshit in the archives.

what you're convinced of about what other people have between their ears is completely irrelevant. So, on what basis do you believe that you have the RIGHT to dictate how people dispose of their private property, including their organs?

As it relates to the selling of organs and the longer-term societal implications? Is that a rhetorical question? Answer the question, thunderousfool. Do you or do you not assert the right to dictate what people can and can't do with their own bodies? I don't give a crap what you relate...

Questioning your right to dictate what people can and can't do with their own property is a self-serving bullshit argument? Thunderpoo, it's not even an argument. It's a question. But then, when you proclaimed that charity to the poor is "childish" and you couldn't possibly be...

Sosueme, You're assuming a lot of things. First of all, you're assuming that demand for junk food is highly elastic - that for every unit increase in price there will be an equal unit decrease in demand. That's not the case. So, what you'll have is people spending more on food and then...

Who are you to dictate what the poor can and can't do with their own bodies?

Actually, smokers aren't costly. Smokers tend to die quickly once they become sick and aren't very costly to treat. Obesity causes a lot of chronic illnesses patients live with for decades. All of this stuff is already taken into account by health insurance companies when they set your...

You know what the bigger bullshit out this story is? The fact that he couldn't just go an buy the organ from a willing seller. Why should a private or public panel be able to play God and decide who should get organs and who shouldn't and whether or not we have the right to sell what belongs...

exactly. They do, in fact, fall now. Unless it's a medical condition (hypothyroid, for example, or polycystic ovaries), the only prevention or reversal of obesity is the lifestyle of the individual. There's no way the health care system can prevent behaviours without robbing individuals of...

Bingo! And they will pay a higher premium - as it should be.

Oh yeah.....and, you know, it worked so well in every other country its ever been tried in. This is so ridiculous. It's not the turn of the 20th century and none of these diseased ideas have been tried yet. oh, and I HAVE gotten into my representatives faces about this reform bill. I...

The only way those companies can make money is if consumers buy their product. Nobody forces these people to shove alarming quantities of shit-for-food in their mouths.

The current health care reform bill is doing something - transferring wealth from the thin and healthy people who look after themselves to people who stuff their faces and do nothing about their own health. Of course, the market has a way of dealing that - higher premiums for people who are...

...and how she's so swank dressing from J. Crew, just like us little people. Where is his approval rating now? Sinking like GWB's before him. Hope and change!

Did you just miss the point or was that a messed up segway? The SEC is nothing but lawyers. Nobody there who actually has a finance or economics background and a brain at the same time.

Oh, BTW......they're relying on the SEC to "control" all of this. The SEC walked into a private trading firm last week and asked them to explain to them how levered ETFs work! The SEC guys had no idea what they were! Although, it's equally disturbing that the SEC feels that it can just...

Ha ha ha! That's hilarious that the government wonks still think they can control everybody from a central point with no externalities. Oh, the hubris of government and the innocents who believe in its power will never cease to amuse me.
