They haven't managed to garner enough support amongst themselves to get this thing through. Blaming the repulicans is just a smokescreen for their own failrues. |

Rofl it's amazing how still to this date you still got people thinking this is Republican's fault that the healthcare bill hasn't been passed. If it wasn't for some level-headed Democrats, we would've gotten HR3200, which was the previous bill presented....one that if you compare to what's offered today, is a lot worse.
It's moot point to argue over this since it's all up to the politicians now. Yes, your health, your future, and your tax dollars is up to the politicians now. I just heard on C-SPAN where the last democrat senator who spoke for this bill quoted NY Times. He quoted NY Times.. That's all I need to say. EQ1-AC1-DAOC-FFXI-L2-EQ2-WoW-DDO-GW-LoTR-VG-WAR |

Originally posted by Gazenthia Doing anything but tort reform only or nothing is going to financially destroy the country. We don't have the economy to support this craziness. After they get done with this they are going to hit us with Cap and Tax which will be the biggest tax increase in U.S. history. That is going to make us wonderfully compeititive with the rest of the world. The only other country in the world with a similar climate control program has 17% unemployment. |

Originally posted by Sargoth Lol. Your view of evil and evil is so screwed up it's sad. There are other choices. I don't know why you think that there are no more options than to take shit or a large amount of shit. You can opt to take no shit. Call me naive or whatever you want but I believe that only weaklings settle for the lesser of evils. Problem is, your still advocating a system that is full of backdoor deals and evils. Get a clue and choose another. Again it seems you simply don't understand the basic concepts I am using. I am choosing several things. The first is my favorite choice -- a pure libertarian society. I have worked my whole life for this. However, as a libertarian. I recognize that others have different ideas. In that case, I would rather have shit than a large amount of shit. If you like , you can sit on the sidelines, take no shit, and end up with a large amount of shit. I think my path is far wiser. You are the one who is "settling" -- on the large amount of shit. You have no way to "make" something "no shit." You simply sit it out and then pucker up. I would rather be in the debate always advocating the best solution within whatever context we are in. I feel that is the difference between a sensible libertarian and an idiot. Okay now for my challenge to you. Please define evil, show how your definition is superior to mine, and how it is SOOO superior to mine that mine is "so screwed up it's sad." Let us see if you are actually capable of making a case for a better definition than mine. let us see if you can go beyond your childish retorts and actually do better. Let's hear your better "view of evil."
First off dude, chill. Your escalating this way out of proportion. First, I may have mistyped earlier. But my idea was that settling for any kind of evil is ridiculous. This is what's been happening with the government from day one. They have taken little bits here and there because people like you are accepting the lesser evil and thinking that there is no other choice. Evil is subjective to your view point. My opinion is that I find your view points laughable. Why should I have to prove myself to you? Prove to me that your infallible and correct. Or why bother? You cannot quantify any thing that I would agree with since we have different morals and view points. What I find funny is that you would attack me for choosing not to participate in choosing two evil routes. By choosing the third option, nothing, I refrain from participating in a system that is corrupt. You participate and therefore you become part of the corrupt system. Again you choose to use regular talking points and attacks that I have seen you use on others. Find another gig, this ones up.
You are always settling for evil every dime you spend, you pay for evil. Everything you do, you back and endorse evil. However since you don't even have the courage to actually engage me, I'll let you enjoy laughing as you are to scared to actually debate. I know what I am dealing with now. You participate in just as much evil as I do, and you don't even fight the evil as it goes on. You are basically a coward and a hypocrite. |

I don't even particuarly care about this whole thread. I've just wondered if your arrogant to everyone in fair fashion and by golly you sure as hell are. I guess by your logic if I don't want to be a coward and hypocrite I should consider you a lesser of evils and fight against you too. I mean I wouldn't have to say that if you engaged in debate instead of name calling. Then you would just be a force for good and I would not have to choose a lesser of two evils now would I? Starting to see how there could be a third option in all of this? If I just listen to you, I can choose Sabians left wing ideals, or the lesser evil, your ideals but put up with your condecending attitude, arrogance and name calling. How about instead, I choose to leave you both because ideals without someone actually practicing them is about as worthless as a leftist attitude to government. Or do I have to choose and participate in a system of evil? |

More cowardice and more diversions. Thank you for your time. |

Awesome post. I'm glad to see that people other than just those who oppose Fisher's political ideals also see him as arrogant, condescending, and smug.
Plenty of people disagree with others here, but only Fisher routinely calls people evil or some form of -ist. (socialist, Fascist, etc.) He'll then say he's won the argument, call anyone who proclaims he hasn't immature and ignorant, and then walk away with his nose in the air for being the only "political genius" on an MMORPG forum.
I'm glad others are seeing it. |

Notice how foolish your response is. I didn't call Sargoth evil or any kind of -ist. Once again you are simply mistaken. I have never said I am a political or any kind of genius. I am just an average guy who uses what he has. Once again you feel the need to lie about what I say. I wonder why that is? Perhaps because you really can't challenge what I actually say. |

Plus, once again, notice Sargoth's age :) Once again, it's a pandemic. Like most pandemics it's not everyone under thirty by any means, but it's enough to generate books and be worth discussing. |

Of course I can't challenge what you say, because you only speak in ideals.
If all I did was drop in, say something was taking away liberty, called someone a name, and then revelled in my glorious defeat of evil it would be pretty hard to challenge that. It'd be like challenging the retarded boy claims of an invisible blue dinosaur that follows him. He'll never accept it. |

At least I have ideals that I thought through and decided by myself. Sadly, you are simply trapped in your own conformity. Young people USE to be challenging and radical to their elders. Now the challenge you bring is to be more conformist than those older than you. Just an enforcer of the status quo, ready to try hammer down the nail that sticks out. You fail of course, but it's so sad taht this is what you are reduced to. You really are getting more and more boring every day. You used to be at least mildly entertaining. |
