you are blaming google for what china is doing, and you are not giving google any credit for being subtle, perhaps because you are a person who doesn't understand anything subtle

china is going to censor the web. with google or without google

now anyone with an iq over 50 can tell why their connection is breaking: it's not google, it's china being a censor

they didn't carefully avoid anything, they didn't say "china is censoring us" because then china would cut off google

do you understand now?

well yeah, scientists are always improving their models. this is why you can trust them, because they admit to unavoidable error and correct for it to the best of current abilities. eventually, the gray area is so small that you can trust them within an acceptable margin of error

what are you saying? that because there is a gray area in their model at all, no mattter how small, their model is completely unusable?

what is superior in your mind? just making shit up, covering your ears, and attacking anyone who questions you?

i actually think if someone is engaged in unsafe sex, gay or not, they should be penalized, since this has societal costs. if you have aids, and you know it, and you knowingly have unsafe sex with someone else, gay or not, you should be punished

and you don't have to make fat people pay more for healthcare, nor do you have to ban large sugary drinks

you just have to tax the hell out of it, like cigarettes

go ahead, enjoy your large soda... that'll be $20 please

health insurance is already mandated, by common morality

if you show up at the hospital, unable to pay, we treat you, and pass the bill onto the taxpayer via state bailout of the hospital

all the argument about socialized universal healthcare is a joke: we've already had it, for decades

now all that we ask is all the ignorant freeloaders whargarbbbling about "freedom" (from responsibility), to pay their fair share of the healthcare safety net which they already enjoy

furthermore, i agree: people who make unhealthy choices should pay higher insurance rates

because such a person doesn't exist, unless you are worth 6 figures. and even those people worth 6 figures are smart enough to have health insurance

meanwhile, everyone else bloviating about not being forced to purchase health insurance don't have $50K sitting in their bank account for emergencies

they are one slip and fall away from having a broken arm and avoiding the bill when it comes in the mail

the hilarious irony is that these losers vomit ignorance about not wanting to pay for lazy poor people's insurance. when the truth is THEY are the freeloaders!

we already have socialized universal healthcare: when people can't pay their healthcare bills in the USA, it gets passed to the taxpayer via state bailout so the hospital doesn't go bankrupt

now all we ask is that these ignorant assholes whargarrbbbling about freedom (from responsibility) pay their fucking fair share

or is it that you deserve the "freedom" to be a freeloading douchebag off the rest of us, is that your position?

there's two definitions of freedom:

the teenager definition "i can do whatever i want with no concern for the consequences"

the adult definition "i can do anything i want that doesn't harm someone else"

for example, the "right" to speed is freedom according to a teenager, as a teenager will never crash their car and hurt an innocent driver who had the ill fortune of sharing the road with the idiot

the "right" to smoke is freedom according to a teenager, as a teenager only exhales pure filtered air in the face of fellow pedestrians and housemates and doesn't raise the healthcare insurance costs of anyone else

likewise, the "right" to mainline fructose is freedom according to a teenager, see healthcare argument above

please note: the term "teenager" in the context of this comment is a mental function measurement independent of chronological age. there are plenty of chronological teenagers who are mental adults and morally mature, and there are 40 year old gasbags who still define freedom according to a mental teenager's definition

you're not actually going to tell me that the two highest rated posts right now are two morons wringing their hands about cruelty to cockroaches

if we're going to talk about proportionality, scale, and context in your "morality", do your brains undergo nuclear fission when viewing the youtube video of the kids massacred in houla?

now, of course, a reply to my post will be a lecture about how horrible homo sapiens is, so little kids deserve to be massacred, it doesn't matter, but cockroaches are beautiful creatures full of love and feeling
