With concealed carry laws in Texas, violent crime has dropped significantly, even as it rises in other populous nations.

Nonsense.

No, that's the 486dx/sx you're thinking of. The 386sx had a 16-bit data bus, half that of the dx.

So why did you suggest she needed to get a a mammogram, if early detection happens before that? Maybe you're just spouting crap you read on the internet.

Thanks for the link. I'm sure those free clinics in MA and MO would have helped her. Oh wait, the only one in Springfield, MO probably couldn't have. http://ksmu.org/content/view/4153/66/

Get back to me when you've stopped blaming the victim.

How would she know that her symptoms indicated she needed to get a mammogram? That's for an MD to determine. Are uninsured people supposed to diagnose their own illnesses and seek out the necessary examinations themselves?

Looks like it was a panel of Republican appointees. Hardly surprising they come out on the side of the corporations.

And how does this compare to no health care whatsoever?

If you can find a way to rig an election in the State of New York then I'd be real interested in knowing about it.

Put lots of voting machines in the rich, white neighbourhoods, and very few in the poor, black neighbourhoods. That's how they did it, at least, in Ohio in 2004.

I've been getting spam from charities that I've donated to. Every single time when, making a donation, I've unchecked the box that says I want to receive their marketing. Yet, a few months later, they decide that it's OK to start spamming me. When I call them on it, they always claim it was an "error".

If you think that's bad, teenagers don't even need to take the driving test in order to get a license in Texas. From http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/driver_licensing_control/parenttaught.htm

The student must take a written and vision examination prior to receiving the Texas Driver License Instruction permit. However, the skills (driving) test will be waived for teenagers who complete both classroom and behind-the-wheel portions of a Texas driver education course. The instructor participating in the Parent Taught Driver Education Program has the option to waive the skills (driving) test or require the student to pass the skills (driving) test administered by DPS prior to issuing a Class C driver license.

So: adults must take the test, teenagers don't need to. Why are my insurance rates so high again?

Here in Texas, youngsters can get a license without having to take any kind of test. They just have their parents sign a form saying they've had drivers' ed training.

It's no wonder there are so many bad drivers on the road.

Then the greedy-ass city council wanted more revenue, so they shortened the yellow-light timing. They now have yellow-light times that are around 2 seconds on most of the camera-watched intersections.

Do you have anything to back that up?

This report suggests that rumour isn't true, and the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices defines 3 to 6 seconds for the yellow light. ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/trf/final_report_rlc_1008.pdf (last page).

The victim suffered a minor cut and refused medical treatment.

I suspect that translates to "The victim refused to rack up extortionate ambulance and ER charges."
