And I like to screw with stupid people.

It's not hard to find 10 people who call themselves 'Libertarians' in that they all agree the government should be smaller and pay for less. It's impossible to find 10 Libertarians who agree on which parts of the government should be cut. And that's the fundamental conceit of Libertarianism, it's just another way of saying "I don't want my tax dollars to pay for anything other than the stuff I personally need, but I want everyone's tax dollars to pay for the stuff I need." I'll give them this, Libertarians generally don't want to be associated with the shrill social conservatives and for that they should be commended.

Communism is also stupid, as far as that goes. I've yet to encounter anyone arguing for communism in my life, but if I do then I promise I will mock them, too.

Approximately 100% of these Obamacare horror stories have collapsed on deeper inspection. It's possible that you fall into some gap that is disproportionately worse off if the planets aligned just right. That would require a number of conspiring factors (too high income to qualify for rebates, replacing junk insurance, not covered by an employer plan, no chronic medical problems, etc.). It's certainly possible, but factor in your irrational ranting about Obama and Pelosi and drug addicts and it smells very much to me like someone who has just read a lot of conservative blogs and has constructed a faux martyr persona.

You also don't have Ebola, but your insurance covers that. That's the way insurance works. It covers you for things you don't have yet and things you might never need--that's how risk pools work.

Costs haven't tripled, deductibles haven't quadrupled--that's completely absurd. You are just a stone-cold liar. Every study shows that Obamacare has bent the cost curve, dramatically.

Liar.

Libertarian paradise.

Answer: None

Are you also in favor of any other divisive things, like apple pie?

Do you mean the 10 million more people who have access to healthcare now? or the dramatic reduction in the rate of increase of healthcare costs?

Do you have any data which shows that it isn't working? Lots more people are covered and the rate of rise of health costs has been significantly and measurably slowed. The economy is doing great; any assertions about Obamacare destroying the economy are absurd on their face.

The wall plug is the same as for the iPhone or iPad, it uses an inductive connector on the watch side so that the watch doesn't have exposed terminals and can therefore be water-resistant.

The charger comes with the watch. They wanted a fully sealed chargeport.

Everything isn't a conspiracy.

I don't think Obama is perfect--but I'm completely befuddled at any notion that he's worse than Bush. Do you have any idea how bad things were under Bush? Think about it for a second:
1. We went to war in Iraq under a false premise at the cost exceeding a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives, hundreds of thousands of troops deployed
2. We suffered a nearly complete collapse of the economy. worst recession since the great depression ultimately resulting in unemployment >10%.
3. Andrew Card & Karl Rove exposed an undercover CIA agent for political reasons--Bush pardoned Card and lets Rove slide
4. Disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina
5. 45 million+ Americans without health insurance with skyrocketing health care costs
6. September 11th ...the list goes on and on...

Now think about: what Obama has accomplished:
1. A nearly completely recovered economy, Unemployment around 5%.
2. Dramatic reduction in uninsured people and a significant slowing of health care cost increases
3. Competent responses to disasters (BP oil spill, Hurricane Sandy, etc.)
4. Withdrawal of nearly all military personnel in Iraq & Afghanistan, no new wars.

It's okay, we can all hear your dog whistle words.

They will usually find some way to blame everything on Barack Obama.

what's it like to be a huge liar?

> 1. Proprietary Software/Closed Source

Like the software that runs on your microwave and your automobile? Do you plan on protesting outside of GE and Ford?

> 2. NSA Spying

Do you realize that the NSA is actually not the same as Apple? Do you also realize that no company has made more of a stand against the NSA than Apple?

> 3. Corporate Spying

?!??!??

> 4. Cannot (easily) change battery on IPhone

Then don't buy one. It's not a political party--pick the product you want, you don't need to march on Washington because you made a different choice than other people.

> 5. Proprietary power/data cables on IPhone

Ditto.

> 6. In the 80's, unlike my TRS-80, Apple computers required a boot disk just to fire up.

That one is actually pretty original and funny. It's not actually true because the TRS-80 did require a boot disk--but at least you finally said something original that wasn't fed to you verbatim by the Slashdot orthodoxy.

> 7. Steve Jobs is a weiner (Wozniak, by comparison, is a minor deity). ...groan...what is it with wannabe nerds and their geek-hero worship?

It's amazing how often that straight-up lie is bandied about by people who just wish it was true soooooo much.
