Your options are a capitalist dictatorship, where some lefty professors get thrown in political prison, or a communist dictatorship, where millions of people starve to death. Pick one. The choice should be pretty easy. Then there's also the bonus that capitalist dictatorships have a historical tendency to give way to democracy.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Yes and for slacker folk with no appreciable skills or prospects of contributing to society, moving to Cali makes good sense. Given the cost of rural plans (if more than one are available that is) compared to the cost of plans associated with more densely populated areas, health care (in reference to the OP topic) is a net win for him at the expense of someone else.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostLast edited by Ogie Oglethorpe; November 4, 2013, 11:42."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

I've never heard of county restricted plans before. I'm not sure why San Diego wouldn't be offering an Anthem (which I assume is a BC/BS product) PPO plan.Originally posted by The Mad Monk View Post“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

It's far more than just 'lefty professors get thrown in political prison' - that view just betrays a lack of any historical understanding.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

All of these were far better than the communist (or islamist, in the case of iran) alternative. My point stands.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

You are insane.
For one, Allende's Chile was a better option.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

They were the words and the necessary implications of what you were responding to with "good". "Good" being an approval of the content of what you were responding to.Originally posted by Captain ******* Kirk View Post
If you didn't think the US going to war with Khmer Rouge in a realistic timeline and occupying Vietnam for decades ... and all that that entails ... was "good", you shouldn't have suggested it was.Comment
