Is discusing about USA helthcare sistem politics or not so we can discus it here

Oh look a religious debate on a board game forum! I’ll go get my popcorn.

I still don’t have time to respond at the moment. But while we’re all posting articles this book review is EXCELLENT. And will give anyone who is interested a better perspective on where I’m coming from.

“–-Wind is NOT the answer, solar is NOT the answer. SHALE GAS may be the answer! Climate change legislation is RIFE with pork, special interests and WASTES of money…”

Enticed my climate-change doubting friends?

The problem with the joke is that most people I’ve seen on this site are adults, most of whom are married.

@ncscswitch:

To my knowledge, you can get banned from posting, but not from viewing…

Rather than banning people from PD, I suggest you lock them from viewing anything BUT PD, if they get out of line.  Make the punishment fit the crime!  :lol:

eh i was between Hitler and Stalin :)

Well, F_alk, you do bring up an interesting theory. :D

I don’t see a need to threaten shooting someone. That’s not my point. My point is not to threaten them, but simply to make it known that they person holding the gun to your head is not going to come out of the situation in one piece either. If that’s not a deterrent to attack, I don’t know what is. Think of it as “self-defense.”

In your last part, if you’re referring to Iraq, then that’s a different situation. That so-called “unarmed” person is not really unarmed. He’s simply hiding his weapon underneath his jacket. In that case, you can try to “talk” to him (which we did with Saddam) but if he won’t listen, you’ve got to draw the line somewhere, and show him who’s boss.

Question, I don’t know the answer. Is China’s Government Elected?

Yes, most of the positions in the government are based on election, though often these elections are rigged. There hasn’t been once been a successful and smooth transfer of power (usually ending in bloody coups) since it went communist

China is experiencing more economic growth because it has become a combination of Communism and Capitalism.

I wouldn’t exactly call it communist. More like socialist.

@Yanny:

If you could design a government, explain it here.

My Goverment would be a Capitalistic Socialism. Everyone lives in kind of a “Kibbutz” system, one of the decent things to come out of Israel. Children live away from their parents, but still in contact with them. Education is totally free, ranging from Preschool to Univercity level. During this time, you are required to undergoe a small term of Military training. If a war should break out, both sexes can be drafted, and this will serve as kind of a “Pre Boot Camp”

The Government issues all graduates a sum of cash, to be used to buy property, start a business, ect. To pay for this, Income Taxes will be high, in the 70% range. Throughout your life, Health Care and Legal Care is paid for in full by the Government. If you need employment, the Government will find you a suitable job.

Elections will be held exactly like the US Goverment’s. The media is free, and censorship (without permission) of any kind is illegal. Religion will take absolutely zero part in the Government.

Physcologists have done studies over and over… Children learn nearly everything from there parents… Would alternative “school’s” be available?
In my opinion Geurrilla’s are a better form of defense :wink: …like the free cash…but why just kill Income tax and give your citizens a boost in the work force…If you give all those benifits you will have to Inflate the money supply like crazy… do you want Hyper-Inflation and Mach 177 velocity…

Your interesting :wink: …
