I agree. But I think your comment should be more wide spread. I come up with my "opinions" because of the fact that all I see here is the demonizing of the terms "Liberal" and "Social", and so on. So it hardly me demonizing anyone who is not doing the same to others. We all have differing...

Good post Old medic. :salute: There is a lot of scare mongering on both side of the border. While I agree with you for the most part. Isn't it a shame that there are those who fall between the cracks at all, just because they do not have insurance? You saying that many "choose" not to take it...

Well after reading that, and your source. I will bow to defeat on this matter.  :salute: However (and I always have a however ;D), it still does not quiet my original argument that there are entire segements of US society that do not have access to that system because of cost. They may have no...

Good question. I think Andyboy here is protesting the fact that I made issue with someone (forget who now) making a point of "why should I give money to someone who doesn't work for it." or something along those lines about homeless people. And that I gave some examples of some things you could...

Agreed to a point again. ::) The problem is, identifing who is who. Yes there are the obvious ones who are just milking the system and can be punted. But then it gets grey awefully fast...

Tom Tom Tom. You really need to read other things. its no wonder you think the way you do. ;D Oh, and good quote you chose there. It speaks volumes about our military these days. :salute:

And you still haven't answered the original question!! I'm not saying that people have to act any particular way. I'm just giving an alternative opinion to all (what I see as) the far right winged, individual first over all, ideology that is spouted here. If everyone here always agreed with one...

HA! Good comeback Tom. :salute: Actually I think both sides are to blame for way to much use of "twisted" numbers. Ok agreed for the most part on that. However, why do you keep seeing these possable daycares as "government" education centers instead of just places where daycare professionals...

Agreed. Pretty scary place. Funny how you didn't even answer the question? I wouldn't have posted those alternatives if I had not done all of them at one time in my life. Yes, I used to be a rigid thinker and judger of people and told them exactly what I thought they should do to solve their...

Good source Gault. But no it doesn't. The problem as I have said before is in the numbers. They can be used and twisted by anyone. No, I don't think the OECD would have done so. But what numbers did they get? The problem I have in believing all those numbers you are throwing about is the fact...

Agreed. Question is, can we afford to even give parents this much? There is also the problem of lower income parents having more babies in order to get government money available now. You can imagine the amount of lower income kids if we raised that amount? commissar's? LOL! Your starting to...

I have to ask as to that last article. Was it so porous and completely ineffective because of a combination of the fact that there were already millions of said weapons out there, there was a loop hole you could fire a 16 inch shell through, and the fact that law enforcement did not enforce the...

Not that I agree with the NDP for the most part. So I would guess that you think that it is alright that your boss asks for you to do a bunch of overtime shifts without paying you any extra for that work? And that it happens on a regular basis? Not supply you and your family with benefits (that...

Sheesh. If parents were able to stay home, there is a good chance they would. Although their are a lot of BAD parents out there as well who use TV and video games to keep the "brats" busy while they watch there posion. In some ways I agree with you Guardian. There will be alot of waste...

Ok, I think things got lost in all that economic crap somewhere. First. I'm talking about people and their needs. Not money. Not economies. Not resources. People are what are important in this country. Not how much the dollar is worth for their lives. I think in some ways I am agreeing with...

I think you had better take a better look at the States and their health care. They have back logs as does everyone else. They are NOT a perfect system. There is a reason most democratic countries are Social democracies. They happen to think that looking after their citizens instead of making a...

Ok, this is going to jump around a little. First. The basic tenant that you seem to be forgeting (whether it is cell compitition, or the strongest survive) is that modern society recognizes that ALL people are equal under the law. The society that you seem to buy into is that you everyone MUST...

Healthcare is not free. You pay taxes to make it availible to everyone. Healthcare in the States is still under backlogs. Especially for those who do not have the money to go to elite private care. Ie. You pay more money, the less time you wait. So don't get the idea that backlogs are just a...

A true capitalist system (total free market) is as bad as a total "any" system. Its takes advantage of many to the gains of few. Yes wealth gets created and distributed, but not very far below those at the top. You have to have some social mechanisms in place in order for "all" your citizens to...

That was good. Larry - Agreed that the CSC personal may just sit there. It all depends on the individual wardens policies and how far they wish to take them. Alot of them are not even ex-guards, but are paper pushers from the social services. As for being "tougher" on the prisoners...   ...
