LOL. But why the hell would the teabaggers support this? I'm saying if the President raised, or attempted to raise, a civilian army essentially, I would expect the rest of the nation to be alarmed as to why he would want such a thing.

Well I can admit when I'm wrong, it happens to everyone, athough most never own up. BTW why are u participating in this thread when u don't live in the US?

So that means its ok to say shit like that? Look if the way I presented it is in fact, out of context, then my mistake. I would hope that no one would actually be supportive of this idea (as I presented it).

Tdog don't u ever get sick of these lame ass one liners. They really aren't clever or that funny, my CANADIAN broham.

What? I think you are confused (or just being sarcastic). I was simply pointing out that IF Obama or any other pres ever tried to raise a civilian army (think brown shirts, gestapo etc.), that I would entirely support and expect a revolution. That is the most radical statement I can think of...

^ whatever nazi boy, you have absolutely no idea WTF your talking about. Hopefully your really young and think u know things, then you'll get a little older and grow the fuck up before u do something really stupid...

What you are not seeming to accept is FREEDOM. An individual can do whatever they please with their own body. Please don't tell me u think people should be told what to do in order to stay healthy for the economy's sake...lol. Reality is: if you earn your own way you ARE a productive member of...

So your tellling me the police are just as powerful and well funded as the military?

This is what we were referring to, and it is radical and outrageous. Also Rahm Emanuel was/is an advocate for mandatory civil service. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s

Yes, and I've thought this through. Addictive substances (PHYSICALLY addicting), would be the only exception I'd make, and I'm still not sure they should be illegal. If they were to remove nicotine from tobacco, would u still have a problem with people smoking, even though they would still be...

Nope, I'm one of those Americans that minds his own business and let's people do what they want. If people know the food is literally poisonous (which would obviously be ILLEGAL), and still want to eat it... go right ahead. You believe in evolution right, survival of the fittest, those genes...

I liked pabst, he was always really pissed, but had a good writing style and solid logic on economic issues IMO.

I would say they don't want to discuss it cause they don't care. I don't either, people can live and do whatever they want with their health, if they want to drink, smoke, get high, eat fast food, not exercise, unprotected sex etc, they are going to pay more for insurance and prolly not live as...

I don't think I made my point clear. Private insurance companies should definentely be allowed to raise your premiums (or not cover u) for living unhealthy. I meant if we had a govt run system, and that is everyone's ONLY "option". And yes they are repub talking points, but it is just a...

+1 Excellent point(s), and impenetrable logic. The govt is not in this just because they think they know better, but because they want control (socialism). Think about a truly universal health care system: can they tell you what u can eat and drink (in case its unhealthy), imagine if u...

Or they could just do iwhat I said in my post, "gaming" the system won't fly with the insurers. Your implication that the mandate is necessary is false. Let's face it, this is a bid for power. The Dems see an oppurtunity to paint the insurers as greedy and "unfair" for making money on a...

Whoa... I swear I was writing that and didn't see what u wrote. I guess that is everyone's line not to be crossed.

I voted yes but I was under the impression that this is theoretically, not as in right now. Seriously though Obama has spoken of a civilian security force "just as well armed, and just as well funded as the military". That scenario = revolution for me. The Constitution addresses the National...

NO!!

Your drastically exaggerating. Health INSURANCE is a private industry, a priviledge, not a RIGHT. I think the idea of a "universal pool" is good as long as it is done privately, this would essentially give everyone the OPTION to join a group policy, which does decrease premiums. Obama even...
