  1. LOL! I had no idea they had that stuff on there. It is modern warfare.
  2. Exactly. What have you decided is "too much" profit margin? 10%? 20%? 50%? 3%? If one doesn't like the drug because one feels it costs too much or the company makes too much profit, I would recommend that one should voluntarily choose not purchase it. Alternatively, one should develop their own or put their money into a company that can develop one for oneself and others to generate the profit or the appropriate level of sacrifice that one desires.
  3. I like MoH a little better. I'll play what we have. I think the kids would like MW2 for Christmas. Haven't seen it on the list yet.
  4. Ok, but is it cool? Kids don't have it, but maybe I should.
  5. Varies. I have local water that comes from our municipality, a small village. Sewer, well, we don't have one. I have my own private septic tanks as we all do in the village. Minimally, every two years I am required to have them pumped out, state law, but I choose who I use. Outside our village is a another municipality, a town, and those homeowners all have private wells in addition to private septics.
  6. I'm with Jake on this. First, I'm happy they are rich, if you say they are. They are there to help individuals get well. If they had dying customers, well, they would have bigger problems. Now, as for rich, what are you calling rich? Their volume or their profit margin?
  7. Take it one step further... If a political system says it is ok to steal a dollar from him, what happens when one million people each steal one dollar?
  8. I think I can only reply "wow" to that guy's ideology. I guess if he and his friends were on a remote island away from "the world" they would perish and kill each other. And about the campus... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Holyoke_College
  9. Crazy is too much. This was a determined course of action that he initiated himself. There were "warnings", but certainly not all individuals that do the things he did prior to the act at Ft Hood end up killing others. If we are supporters of individual rights, our focus should be on the soldiers, individuals that are generally recognized as state uniformed persons that can carry arms, being disarmed by government for the protection of others.
  10. The State Department defines terrorism as premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience. Noncombatants includes both civilians and military personnel who are unarmed or off duty at the time. Was he a terrorist? I really don't care. He's a murderer, and the UCMJ is in swing. No need for any other "enhancements". Let the system work.
  11. By your statements, I'm gathering then that you object only to where he was stating a message as the problem.
  12. If there is traction to some of the talk that he was trying to contact Al Q, which is a target of the wars in SW Asia...
  13. From the article... I could apply similar issues to so many elected to government. Another example of government failure again.
  14. Well, how many Muslims are there? If these things happen because one is a Muslim, then there should be more regular domestic terrorist action because of the size of the population.
  15. Well, yeah, just like McVeigh and Hasan both being in the US Army. How many people worshipped in that mosque?
  16. Thank you. My point exactly. Individual problem.
  17. Sounds like the story is being countered... http://blogs.gwhatchet.com/newsroom/tag/hspi/
  18. Don't know. He made a commitment. What was his term? Looks as though he was an intern, a resident and then a fellow at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C From 2003 through this summer. So, that looks as though his entire education was funded based on his voluntary contract with the US Army. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/...ce=rss_breaking If he was actually part of that transition team (a psychatrist working for the transition of Homeland Security?) as a Captain, non field grade officer, you'd think he would have plenty of connections politically to get out if he wanted.
  19. Freedom and the Constitution are compatible with religion and non religion. Yes, you may mock, but not all are at the tea parties with the aim of supporting the struggle against current policies because of religion. Thus, you labeling those that are not what you say. There is not justice in that? Attacking the specific issues is more productive.
  20. Yeah, well, that is his right to say. "We believe that the public option...it is tyranny, it is socialism, it is anti-constitution." Sure, he's got a lot of God goin' on. But where are other groups actually standing up and saying that this crap IS tyranny, socialism, and unConstitutional? There is coverage and headway being made on real issues related to rights. It's why I went to two of them. I'll work out the other issues person by person later. Focus the god people on the Constitutional issues.
  21. How about force for a start? Germans are mandated by government to be in the system. It is not voluntary.
  22. Why wouldn't a "dead soldier" have the right to speech free of government intervention in a government cemetery?
  23. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hn6ad4_FzM Lots of information about what he thinks about a lot of stuff there...
