The brits are responsible for what happens in Israel just as much as the US if not more. I'm sorry but history shows who lived in palenstine long before the mass Israeli illegal immigration. Encouraged as a final solution to the Jew problem by England, maybe the Jews were not killed like the Nazi's did, but they have done nothing, but murder and create their own ghettos and stuffed them with the palenstinean people.

Israel has always been the primary agressor, these people they have displaced barely have anything to fight back with and because they use bombs against a populace that 90% have served in the military and are required to stay in the reserves for quite awhile I would not consider them entirely civilian.

You corner an animal it will fight back and use every dirty trick it knows.

Feel free to look it up it's called the Palenstien Mandate.

The whole observer thing is bs and because of limited imagination.

Just because someone saw it sooner does not make when it actually happened any different from someone a thousand light years away. Once both parties have seen it the further party would know it happened X years ago with X uncertainty because measuring distances is complicated. However on a universal timeline it happened when it happened and that's it.

No military equipment costs so much because of a few factors, Reason #1, the government is too stupid to get a good deal on anything. The idea that competitive bidding gets you anywhere is a scam. Second the maker is only going to make around a few hundred thousand of whatever. Why waste resources selling to an army of 500,000 vs the 50 million customers in the US and beyond.

I'm sure they approached Steve Jobs about this, and he probably blew them off for selling iPhones to Verizon Wireless customers.

So you've done research on this? My wife attended a state college and paid nearly 60k, thankfully her grandmother paid for it all. In the end she was crowded out by foreigners and now works for less than what she trained for. BSEE.

Lets do a study showing how H1B's are crowding out our college graduates because businesses have learned the costs savings vs having to pay a living wage. Until this problem is fixed, our wages are going to be flat for a long time, recessions or no recessions.

Because you do not have a car is fine, but if you do in many states your car gets towed and you go to jail for having no insurance.

On a long enough time scale you WILL use the health care system. I can guarantee someone will call 911, an ambulance will roll, you will be picked up even if you're found dead at the scene most times. Your estate will handle the billing. So just think about leaving anything for your family when you die, because your debt is #1 for collecting money from your estate after your dead, maybe #2 if you're taxed, your family comes last.

>Anyway I hold to Jefferson and Madison's opinion that the US was meant to have a FEW enumerated powers, while most of the powers remained with the Member States. Just like the modern EU.

The modern EU is ran by Liberals, have better health care than any one of our states. The right wing in the EU is usually more left than our left wing.

I do not see you harping about having to buy auto insurance, it's cheap, you can get it from any provider. Nobody's telling you that you have to buy microsoft car insurance for your GM car only, you get what you want where you want it. The same goes for health care, get it from who you want, but you have to have it. What's the difference?

The difference is that YOU CAN GO TO JAIL if you do not buy auto insurance.

We'll if your kid has lukemia and you did not have insurance or coverage against cancer, then you can pick up said coverage and not be denied for a pre existing condition.

Also no limit on how much the insurance company can pay before you reach a lifetime maximum. Some insurers had it as low as a million dollars.

I do not care who you are, you will eventually get sick and require expert medical treatment. Would you rather suffer and possibly die, lose your mobility etc, or would you rather not have insurance and then go bankrupt when you do get sick and get slammed with a 400k bill? I'd rather pay 1200 a year and know that I'm not going to ruin my credit because I get sick. I'm sure as hell positive that I can not sue the cheap bastards who come to work sick spreading the flu, so 1200 a year it is.

All this whining and crying about the government telling you what to do is complete bullshit. Your parents told you what to do, your boss tells you what to do, that speed limit sign tells you what to do, that red light tells you what to do. Face it, there are things as responsible adults you should be doing, there's some misguided belief that liberals are a bunch of fat, lazy, welfare recipients, when there's probably a fair share of fat lazy welfare receiving republicans out there as well. Everyone that disagrees with the republicans is immediately labeled a liberal, and I bet 75% of republicans could not tell you what a liberal is.
