I actually get paid extremely well for the job I have in the area I work in. My employer even pays more than double minimum wage plus benifits for his secretary, his view is this increases productivity and loyalty. I can't disagree.
My main thing is that my coverage is already taken care of...
I agree with you that people are reacting emotionally and are either ignorant of other ways or just refuse to acknowledge them. I don't buy that the problem is some grand right-wing conspiracy though. It would be just as bad if far left corporations owned the media, I think we can at least agree...
Unless I am unbelievably far off the mark that is what this bill proposes, a government option for health insurance. I am highly concerned with a private company's ability to compete with such a program, take that to it's natural conclusion and you have government health insurance.
Believe it...
I think the argument is that some people (hopefully a very few) are already making that choice already and the money is going to drugs.
We do need to remember though it is not just people with kids that are on welfare and get food stamps, my elderly grandmother was on food stamps for years...
That's what I figured, that it helped to have a culture that wasn't either trying to rebel or act cool by doing drugs. I highly doubt that legalization would ever happen though. I think people are concerned that if you legalize it might somehow get worse, I am not really sure how they think it...
Interesting! I did not know that. Would you happen to know if their culture glamorizes drug use in the same way that ours has? There is something to say for the people who only started doing drugs because of rebellion, and the constant kids that just want to be cool.
I would have to say that I am polytheistic. Then again, I don't worship any specific gods or goddesses.
I do believe there are different planes of existence and that there are some cases were they interact and even overlap. An example would be 'heaven' and 'hell'. While I don't agree with the...
Also a possibility. Would you support making drug treatment more readily available? Perhaps with a government run treatment facility or making it covered under some future option of healthcare?
Very true, it is obvious that creating more harsh punishments aren't working also. So what would you...
Possibly. I can see both sides of it. There are a lot of people who angry right now about the whole government situation who would jump on any little opportunity to take away aid. I also see where testing would cost a lot of money and a lot of time. Drug tests aren't free and they definitely...
This is an idea I ran across on Facebook of all places. I had never given it a second thought, and was shocked to see the opinions on Facebook (incredibly one-sided). So I was curious what the opinions would be among a different group of people. I came here because the people are generally more...
This started with Bill Maher so I wanted to share my favorite clip from his show.
YouTube - Ron Paul is Bill Maher's New Hero
Personally, my favorite part is right there at the end when Bill goes, "From your lips to God's ears."
