you're joking right? Mercator projections make the higher latitudes look bigger because you are projecting a spherical surface onto a flat plane.

Us tranceddicts are young and for this I understand why that majority on this forum are pro-health care, but when you are older and in higher income brackets and are nearing retirement you will think otherwise about this presidency. Not only will you not be collecting social security but you will also be responsible for paying these debts. All those who want to work until their 85 please stand up.


Where was your ranting and raving when bush signed the prescription subsidy bill? Do you have any concept on how much that’s gonna cost?

You’re a fucking moron.

First, I'm just going to point out that this is blatantly untrue even in its most simple form. Do you have any idea what civil rights legislation numbers were like?

Second, and more important to your underlying claim, that most people are opposed:

quote:
Echoing many on the right, Newt Gingrich today sent an email claiming, "In every recent poll the vast majority of Americans opposed this monstrosity."

But that just isn't true. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found last week that Americans supported the legislation by a 46%-42% margin. The Economist published a poll showing that 53% supported the bill and 47% opposing it.

Today, CNN released a poll showing that will predictably be skewed by the right. It found that 59% opposed the Senate health care bill and only 39% supported its passage. Not a ringing endorsement, to be sure, but those numbers only tell half the story.

As we've been arguing for months, it's equally important (and more valuable) to ask why a poll's respondents oppose the bill. If overwhelming majorities believed the bill was an example of big government run amok, it would serve the GOP's purposes to promote the poll's findings.

But that's not what the poll showed. Luckily, CNN did ask respondents for their reasoning behind their opposition to the bill. They found that 13% of those polled opposed the bill because it was "not liberal enough."



This shows that 52% of Americans either support the current bill or wish it was even more "liberal" while 43% believe it is too liberal.

That hardly reveals that a "vast majority of Americans opposed this monstrosity." In fact, it shows that Democratic leaders carefully threaded the needle of public opinion. President Obama and Democrats in Congress successfully crafted a bill that is progressive enough for all but 13% of the country and falls well within the political mainstream, yet is still ambitious enough to deliver the much-needed change Americans desperately need.

This still does nothing, though to remove my argument that most people, particularly the most vehement, have no idea what's in it to start with.

Haha so true, however on a somewhat related note...
What does he look like?
Is that him in the picture?
Is that really his wife?
Is he really black?

I must have the answers so I can complete my "Jonsun Schematic" achievement on xLife Live.

OH SNAP.

See, this is why I asked him to provide sources outside of telling me "lol just Google it you noob". I'd be willing to put money that he was just spouting rhetoric from people he heard discussing the issue rather than going out and looking up the information himself.

Further backing-up my claim in another thread that he will post one or two wise-ass responses and then quickly bail from the thread once people start pointing out the idiocy in his posts. Par for the course there, buddy.
