Not much different than the Roman gladiators or throwing people to the lions...just keep everybody distracted and arguing amongst themselves. Keep your eye on what I'm doing with this hand...but pay no attention to what I'm REALLY doing with the other.
And "The Demon" (fucking stupid high school nicknames, you should all grow up and be men and use your real fucking names), calling him a "moron" is bullshit and you know it. And trying to justify it by saying "someone else did it first" fits right in with the high school b.s.
I've met BFT3K, and like the majority of folks on here he is a very intelligent guy. He has his opinions based on HIS life experiences just like you and I do.
You destroy your own argument in this debate the very second you start calling names. You go from being a serious part of a discussion, to being a troll instantly. Even if that wasn't your intention.

We can't have true healthcare reform until there is true tort reform. Malpractice insurance is ridiculously expensive because there i no cap on rewards.
Insurance companies gouge customers? I am aghast!
Pharmaceuticals expensive in the US? Say it aint so!
There are 3 key players to the healthcare COST crisis in the US. Trial lawyers, Insurance providers and the pharma s. And until the head i cut off of this three headed monster (CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM) Joe Public is going to continue to get fucked.
You are right Robbie. This is not a democrat vs republican problem...they are both feeding at the trough. Do you think any politician from either party is going to kill these geese and their golden eggs? Fuck no. But they all play the blame game and pit the public against each other. It's fucking stupid, but from the posts on this board it is working.
And one issue I vehemently oppose Ron Paul is campaign finance. Giving money to candidates can be considered freedom of speech. But when one man can only give $1 and another man can give $1,000,000, the voice of the poor man is muted. Corporations are not people, individuals. Since when should they be given free speech rights? Take the money out of Washington and common sense will come back.
