Shit touched my heart.

Crazy shits been happening in Charleston lately. I'm north of the border (North Carolina) but I heard you guys just caught Anakin Skywalker in a high speed chase through the city.

dude fuck you

Indonesia aren't arabic,
But everything else i 100% agree with you,I recently commented in this one,Most of the ''unhappy'' countries has nothing to do with their religion nor their people,It was more like a political reason more than a religious reason to be unhappy,

eh... just because they have bikini babes doesn't mean people in indonesia are happy...
their entire political struckture and "law enforcement" system is completely thuroughly corrupted.
to the point where the police will stop, and extort tourists for money, or they'll throw them in jail for the rest of their vacation.

only pointed out indonesia because theat's the only one i have actual knowledge about.

I sure hope you're right, though I can't really see us slowing down our population increase quickly or effectively enough to counter it. That's really where my worries stem from.

With you put your photos online everybody will see it, send your photos by e-mail to your loved ones that way they can see them and your privacy will be intact

You act like basic human decency goes out the window just because it's the internet.

He made a joke, that's it. In this site people make fun of fatties, gays, trans, retards, rape and shit like that and now just because a guy was offended by some lame joke people start saying shit about decency ?!

Difference being it's his property, and it's directed at him. True, nothing is out of bounds for humor, but if you point at someone and say "Haha you're a faggot" and he goes "Well actually I am gay and my parents threw me out, that joke makes me uncomfortable" the correct response is "Shit, sorry", not "Shut up faggot"

"That's private shit that should not be brought into the spotlight" Don't put them online then, where everybody can see them

The wild thornberrys tought me that.

Oh fuck that reminds me of the guy on /b/ who went to fuck a dolphin and got his fucking glans torn off. Jesus

Sounds fun

uh huh..

Yeah, any engineer goes through a monumental amount of material science, physics, and numerous other fun sleepless nights that leaves them with an ample quantity of information that has nothing to do with their chosen discipline yet has infinite application.

In the words of my father "every engineer is mechanical/civil first."

I'm beginning to doubt whether you're actually an engineer.

I'd argue an engineering degree has almost infinitely more application outside the workplace than most.

Yes it is the only way to ensure that everybody is paying, but do we actually need everyone to participate? I'm well aware of why more payers = lower prices, with more people there to absorb large costs. However, that trend is only true to a certain point. It's a case of diminishing returns, with the cost to coverage ratio approaching a limiting value as more people sign up. If you look at other countries that are thought of as having high quality healthcare systems like just off the top of my head, I'm not an expert Norway, Sweden or Belgium, these countries have less than 3.5 % of our population at the most. They clearly don't need 320 million people in order to make it work. Also, Obamacare had 8 million enrolled in the Marketplaces during 2014 open enrollment from Oct 2013 to April 2014, years before any kind of deadline. We clearly don't need to mandate that people sign up in order to get the needed numbers.

Basically, the point I want to make is that the mandate is in no way necessary, and it doesn't allow for any kind of competition because it's a government sponsored monopoly again, it's an individual monetary transaction, not a tax funded system . If it's going to run off of direct, personal payments, then it should have to compete in an open market just like all the others. If it truly is that much better than anything else you can get right now, then it shouldn't need a mandate and the enrollment would show that. If it's not, then it's better that we aren't forced to buy it. That's the most basic principle of a free market.

The Obamacare exchanges are functionally different from the tax-based funding used for police and firemen. It's a direct monetary transaction done on the individual level, with variable prices that to my knowledge can be changed without the need to go through a congressional vote. Plus, there's the principle of the matter. I don't like the idea that the government can order me to pay for an individual service that they put forth. Obamacare is a personal financial transaction, not funded by collective taxes, but by individual payment. My bottom line is that the law doesn't allow me to say "no", and that angers me because it establishes that our government can do that to an individual person. It may seem like I'm projecting this concept really far into the future, which I am, but that's how it happens. How do I know that eighty years from now I won't have to get the government's approval to change where I live, or to receive a larger salary?

I just want the ability to say "no", and opt out. Honesty, I probably wouldn't opt out, but I want to have that choice.

Well, I don't think they're minor.

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I do recognize that Kanye has done a lot, but his own music IMO is terrible

from what i understand is its kinda like a memory card where you transfer the figure around and it keeps stats for special things

See, I've never heard anyone make that argument before. I think it would go over pretty well with more close minded people, (admittedly like myself sometimes)

"Beer has B12 too, so vegetarianism isn't all bad"

That being said, A fat steak once and a while is the best, most pleasant, delicious and effective way to get a blast of Iron and B12 without supplements.
