never happened before?????? try fox news and bush. please kill your bias. fox started coop with government the dems are following that model. reap what you sew.
everybody always forgets that the current state of the iran is caused by the actions of usa and britain in 1951 when they replaced the prime minister Mohammed Mossadeq with dictator Muhammad Reza Pahlav to protect their oil intrests. this led to the islamic revolution in 1979. Another interesting fact is that usa funden talebans in their fight against soviet union and because of the us taleban ruled until 2001 when americans had their own intrest in line
The US just need to stop spending trillions on bullying the world & billions on trying to destroy Iran and they will have all the money required to threat their sick ones. Your right, the first amendment protects the Zionist propaganda medias. Sickening!
Today, behind the seen dictators and their Americans slaves are the most selfish, greedy, evil power freaks of all times. "How the world works" See "Confession of a economic hit man" You just myth start, to understand how it really works.
It seems clear that you hold a deep-seated hatred of the United States and Israel, from the look of this and some of your other recent posts. That you're talking about "trillions spent bullying the world" tells me that you have no idea what the US government even spends in a year, and on what. Try looking for some real information, and for crying out loud, try not to give yourself a stroke in the meantime.
Please tell me you don't know about the 2.4 trillion the Pentagon could not find, the world learned on 10/ 9/ 01 from the mount of the devil I'm self, Rumsfeld. US spend more then the following 15 country on war. All info required to make inform decision can be found so easily. see Eisenhower farewell speech. US is all about war. The peoples are second to the war industry. Sad that killing is more important then saving. I have US friends. losing them because health care cost even wen insured.
The real war is not between the people it is a war of deception, manipulating the mass for the profits of a few greedy selfish power freaks agenda. If only the American and Canadians people would educate them self with something else them medias that are all owned by the sames little group of friends we'd have a chance at a free peaceful world. In Canada out of 106 News paper 102 owned by one, out of 5 TV medias 4 owned by the one who owns the102. CBC is the other one, who as secret agreement
it has nothing to do with "few greedy selfish power freaks agenda" Dont be so into Obama Deseption and Zeitgeist documentary.
it simply a system that is failing. The economic failed system of monetary capitalism. It is done. It's over. But all we do is dance and jump around some bunch of irelevant news stories about "evil bankers" that rule the world or new us health care system or w\e the news are these days
We haven't had true monetary capitalism in this country for nearly a century. What I've noticed is that the more companies and government are tied together, the less freely the gears turn. In more ways than one, it's a mutually parasitic relationship, and it's pulling this country down.
i realized that a lot of people dont realize that everything what you are talking about right now have evolved from a "true monetary capitalism" established long long time ago. I mean common man! The system itself is flawed that's why it was possible to break it down in the first place. And what do you mean by "true" monetary capitalism? the one where everything is free and independent i suppose? But dude, even if it is a "true" one, it will become what it is now later on anyway.
Over time, Western democracy has evolved from accepting slavery to its present form. However, money, the interest groups, the religious view and other forces have always influenced it. In Iran, the same forces are involved in the dynamics of its democracy. The difference is not as much about the elements involved as it is about the balance and the amount of the involved elements. Giving Irans democracy some time, it might evolve to a more meaningful form than the western one.
Skip from substance straight to name calling. That's original!
For future reference, I might recommend the use of "Freemaniac" if you choose to spout off at me in the future. I've seen it before, and it's a lot less strained than "Slavemanic." You might even get a lol or two.
Freemanic Paracusia I am sorry. I misunderstood you. I don't know why. mis read it and spoke too soon. again. I apologize. I just made my first friendly fire of a Real War against the Idiots of the world. and I totally agree with you. I hope you understand.
Sorry, been offline for a couple weeks. Canada's public health care has worked every time I or any member of my family has needed medical attention. Without fail. Silly question really.
In any case, what I'm saying (re individual vs public) is that publicly-funded health care has a very poor international track record. Medicare and Medicaid already account for more than half of our total government expenditures; WE CAN NOT AFFORD a national plan on top of that, especially with our current deficit. In any case, I went out and got a job with a health insurance plan. I have no need or desire to depend on a government health care plan, and fail to see why others cannot do the same.
1. Our news sources seem to portray this differently, but then, I've already lost faith in most of the American mainstream news organizations
2. In terms of who is covered, yes, but lack of insurance doesn't stop people from getting needed treatment in the US from what I've seen
3. Maybe so, but the public is pretty divided on this issue (49% for, 44 against according to Reuters). Just because a majority espouses an idea doesn't make it a good one
"Other nations have demonstrated that public healthcare is sustainable and effective at a feasible cost."
You can't be serious. I don't know where you're getting your info, probably from Obama himself, but other Nations with public socialized plans have clearly demonstrated that there are serious problems with a government run health care plan. Just ask people from England, what a mess. And then there are people like you wishing for the same disaster to happen here. Get your facts straight.
In Canada. But only if you'd don't listen to the propaganda of US Medias corporation. We, Canadian are overwhelm when we see the lies that are spread by US medias. Base on US medias and If I wouldn't know a few personally, I'd say; Today American are the most selfish, greedy, stupid peoples of all times.
Massachusetts' public health care system is presently the most expensive in the country, and also has the longest average patient waiting periods. It is this system that Obama wants to implement nationwide, for the sake of people whom for the most part either chose not to buy health insurance or are not US citizens. Medicare and Medicaid are already crushing us, and Obama has quadrupled our nat'l debt with stimulus pachages. We cannot afford a nationalized health care plan on top of all of this.
Everyone knows Obama's ACORN and Black Panthers are basically rigging the votes here in the states so its kind of hard for Barack to criticize the President of Iran.
You said you don't understand why the idea of giving public money to private schools is not a good idea, so I'm going to try to explain why to you. The idea behind public schools vs private schools is that private schools can (to an extent) set their curriculum which would mean you would be spending MY tax dollars to teach - say - Catholocism. Aditionally, money given for vouchers is money taken out of the public school system which effectively damages the public system even more.
"The idea behind public schools vs private schools is that private schools can (to an extent) set their curriculum which would mean you would be spending MY tax dollars to teach - say - Catholocism."
And this is different from public schools hammering the theory of evolution as fact into children's heads how?
Well, first because evolution is a fact. Micro evolution has been observed. And second, macro evolution is taught as a theory in science class, the same way number theory is taught in math class, music theory is taught in band class and automotive theory is taught in car shop. Meanwhile, Catholic schools are perfectly free to teach whatever hocum they like, just not with the money of Jewish, Islamic and atheistic tax-payers.
@HoppingNinja all that stuff should be taught as it is. religion and theory. In fact, it should be a course you could elect to take. "Religion and Theory 101"
By NO means should anything that is only a theory be taught as truth. Same goes for anything that requires faith. If you want to teach your kids wither of those things at home as truth, thats your business....but it should not be taught as truth in schools. Everyone's beliefs differ too much to teach anything along those lines as "truth"
This comment goes out to gamutman. You said "money given for vouchers is money taken out of the public school system even more." This way of thinking is highly flawed and extremely dangerous. If someone walks into a store and buys a Coke instead of a Pepsi, according to you, that person "took money away" from Pepsico! It's all about CHOICE and what you want! Do you not remember what America was SUPPOSED to be about? You are a buffoon.
Hey, dimwit, do you really not understand that the problem with the school systems is that it's underfunded? Are you not aware that education choice IS an option including things like open enrollment and the private option and home schooling? Are you also not aware that the schools were better nine years ago before the last GOP dimwit POTUS made his unfunded mandates on schools compelling them to teach to the tests?
America spends more money on education per student than any other country already. Clearly, throwing more money at this problem is not going to solve it. What we need to do is to find out why we are not getting our money's worth right now - I personally suspect that the current PC curricula and deadbeat parents at home have a lot to do with it.
"America spends more money on education per student than any other country already. "
Made up facts and pseudo facts aren't facts. Canada spends the most per capita, and as a percentage of GDP, the US is one of the worst spenders in the developed world.
The 60% graduation rate: "either the students are disruptive, or the teachers are bad"? For having the screen name "HowTheWorldWorks", that's not describing or giving insight to anything, that's making a couple of quick, probably false assumptions.
There was a fraud on Iranian elections, no doubt. There was also a fraud when Bush junior won the 2000 elections. Can you please talk about it ans sozialise your social opinion?
Regarding Iran: Obama isn't voicing much support for the protestors simply because he does not support freedom and liberty; he supports socialism/communism and the suppression of individual rights.
Regarding ABC: nothing but propoganda. Then Obama makes a JOKE about being in bed with them. That's as insulting to the American citizens as when the Congress brought in a speed reader. I'M NOT LAUGHING!!!
Yeah, a bunch of authoritarians have messed with their election process- surprise surprise. And what do you think US support for Iranian reformers will do? Kiss of death!
And by the way, how is that Bureaucrash thing going? It's not as is if the last two Crashers in Chief have left BC, deleted their social profiles, and taken a couple hundred crashers with them to Free Agents, is it? Uh oh. Knew that citizenship thing would come back to haunt you.
Neither the Baucus, nor the Obama health care plans allow for "everyone" to switch from their private insurance to the public plan; only small business, self-employed, or individuals without access to a group plan would be eligible for the public plan (if there is one). Yes, there are proposals being discussed that include a Medicare-style option for all, but that is not the plan that the President is pushing and those plans do not have much support in congress.
A young woman was murdered on Saturday. While participating in a protest march, 26-year-old Neda Soltani was shot in the heart by a Basij militia member. She died in the street almost instantly. In response, the Iranian government issued a ban on collective prayers for her, and reportedly denied her family the right to give her an Islamic funeral. Her killer has not been identified.
Our government has yet to voice support for the demonstrators.
You know why you are a tool how the world works? You believe the internet is more powerful than it actaully is. The whole iran issue wasen't revealed to the world solely and mostly by the internet. If anything, youtube and other sites have completely bullshitted the situation and to me it seems all one-sided.
Do your research on Iran today and U.S. counter intel operations... you be astounded.
These poor "freedom protesters" will be cast aside, once the "destabilization" operation is completed. Then phase 2 where a new "democratically" elected "puppet government" will be installed, and walla....A secured region of the world containing vast quantity's of easily accessible oil.
the government doesn't want an intelligent public; the only reason they do anything for the school systems is for public opinion and distraction debate. Ask a vet how well the government health care programs work at the VA
It Sucks at the VA I'm entitled to VA "benefits" but I would never think of going simply because everything is so slow. I learned the hard way and it's a long story.
Do not support this government health plan. It will only hurt the economy even more by promising services that are below market value. Common sense dictates that when you promise to buy something that's cheaper than what it actually costs, you have to make up for the cost deficit somehow. That cost deficit goes adds to the $9 trillion (or whatever insane amount it's up to now) national deficit.
Don't be an idiot. Name-calling is not going to inspire thought or change minds. Besides, tour comments make it sound like you may not have many deep thoughts.
Have you ever had a full-time job (apart from one that only lasted a summer)? Paid rent, utilities, and had to concern yourself with providing your own healthcare?
If the answer is yes, I think you have a right to speak your mind, but I find it sad that you can't express yourself without reducing your comments to curse words...hmmm, maybe our education system does need some improvement if your grammar and vocabulary are an indication.
If no to my questions, shut up and let the adults talk.
Don't worry, it's just an election. We already knew how it was going to go: a sociopathic powermonger takes power and makes the people suffer. Nothing has changed.
If you can't see the problem with a regime that celebrates a "Death to America" day, calls for the extinguishing of Israel, and is doing what it can to build ICBMs and nuclear warheads at the expense of its people's welfare, nothing I can say to you will change things.
And incidentally, my perception of the Iranians comes from my knowledge of teh region, not something that Bush told me. Iran has a nasty reputation in the region - it has nothing to do with the last Republican administration.
Everything you say the Iranian gov't did - the US gov't did after each GW election. Your picture of Iran was first baked and served by Bush - don't forget it. Iran hasn't started a war in 2 CENTURIES. Ahmadinejad never threatened Israel - everyone who says he did is a liar - take few minutes to try to prove it to yourself. The Jews in Iran are FINE and refuse to leave. Israel twice tried to bribe them to come, so it'll look like they're fleeing. Iranian Jews were disgusted. RESEARCH!
Remember we've been told to fear and hate Iran for 8 years. Naturally, when the New Shah didn't get in, we got mad. All we hear are his supporters and how upset they are. No real evidence has been offered that the election was rigged. Ayatollah has called for a review, he has also noted that the protests are fomented by outside (US) interests. Why play along with propaganda the US media hands you? Why cheer for the puppet? It's all a show, you know.
really, another bush stole the election bullshit sobe story. both elections were close but the system we had in place was upheld by even a liberal supreme court. not to mention Ahmadinejad thinks the holocaust either never happened and was completely made up or only a few jews died, instead of the reality that 6 million jews were killed.
bottom line Ahmadinejad is a douchebag and if you believe his shit you are too.
Good video. I wish more HTWW videos were like this. Dissenting opinions without insult.
Well, I agree with you on Iran and for the most part on Education. I don't think a voucher system will make immediate improvements but could help. There isn't a lot the government can do about graduation rates as they reflect personal ambition of the students as well as society's view of education. The Health Care thing looks interesting. Something must be done, but Congress isn't the right people to do it
They do not drive around in Limos.. and i doubt they spend even close to $14,000 per student.. actually i think you made all of this up becuase for one thing you're comparing Detroit a city to Utah a state lol.. Regardless MI needs schools of choice just like many other states even if just to create competition and give these kids a chance.
I thought the messiah was the new world leader all great and almighty. I was thinking that maybe his majesty could at least call it like it is . But no he doesn't want to offend the terrorist regime. If he is a leader I am sitting on the moon writing this on my lap top.
No, he just doesn't want to give any ammo to the opposition to claim this is an American/CIA/Israeli/Zionist/Crusader plot. If we openly side with Mousavi the regime will just scream Mossadegh all over again.
But I don't expect the uneducated to understand that :)
Until, America & Britain overthrew it in a CIA coup in 1953.
Check out my video: Iran used to be a democracy in the video responses above, to see declassified documents acknowledging the overthrow of Mossedegh in 1953.
your NBC bashing is unfounded...NBC has done an inside the white house puff piece for the past 50 years...they did with bush, clinton, bush, reagan, carter, nixon...etc. Your bias, like most of your opinions is blinding your rational thinking.
id say this video is a little bit better, fitting the name you chose.
Great that you discussed about Iran, better then in the previous one. thumbs up to that.
However, it dropped to its low standard due to what i call your "Obama obsession".
my advice for improvement, try to look for more international news articles and this show can excuse itself better, The united States of America isn't the only thing on the planet.
well for one he is an American so I would have to say that what happen in America is of specific importance to him as it is to me. And also he was talking about Iran, is that not an international story? Last, his Obama obsession should be all of Americas' obsession.. look at what hes doing. people need to pull their heads out of the sand. This guy isn't even hiding the intent of his actions just not naming them. If more people don't make a stand America will be a socialist country very soon.
By the time the gov gets through 'fixing' the economy and health care, we'll all be in the poor house. No, that's wrong. There won't be a poor house for anyone to go to. The gov fixed that, too.
This public healthcare plan will most likely be as "successful" as Social Security and Medicare. Anybody remember these 2? Fix the old problems first before making big, new ones!
latest report from the uk's guardian paper: in several iranian districts there were more, significantly more votes counted than there were registered voters. this makes me appreciate the freedom we have in this great country. it's so easy to take it for granted, something like this really puts things in perspective.
the health insurance they will offer health care but will then demand you only eat a certain amount of calories and call it a preventative mesure of health
Can you please, puh-lease look away from the screen, or at least the centre of the camera once every so often? I know this is kinda a part of your style, but to me, the method detracts from the content. News presenters don't constantly stare straight into cameras, neither does Youtube user FactsVSReligion (check her channel out), who is, I gather, a professional video editor, or whatever. Take a leaf out of her book: Her videos look natural and professional, and I think it would suit you better.
And there's no point mentioning that you actually do look away more in this particular video, because that's actually what I think is a refreshing change from the edited videos.
Perhaps it's a cultural thing. I'm Dutch, and I gather that (W.) Europeans are generally not too fond of people staring straight into their eyes during conversations, and this seems to be different in Asian cultures. I don't know about Americans, maybe that's what's putting me off.
I think we need *both* school vouchers and school choice, PLUS a reformation of the public school system. We need to do what China, Japan, the UK, etc do: a national education system with national standards with the ability to fire tenured teachers and hire new, competent ones. That's what they're doing in the D.C. school district.
Bush blocked people from knowing who came to the White House, too, by the way: nearly every President has done that.
The liberal media in this country wantsto be state run state funded because 95% of them are the same and 90% are almost bankrupt. They sold their souls to be Statists or they have been anti American for a long time. What I mean by that is very specifically that they do not believe in the Constitution as it applies to AN INDIVIDUALS rights. I think when the great Obama crashes there won't be much of a media left because they all sold their souls.
From PETA's website about President Obama killing a fly-
In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.
If all this has you wondering how you can be a bigger person (figuratively, as well as literally) in your dealings with exoskeletal beings, check out our handy-dandy bug catcher—one of which we are sending to President Obama for future insect incidents.
I am a PeTA member who is no fan of Obama. He is the left-wing version of Bush II. He showed about as much compassion for the fly as he does the American people - zero. Unless you are a Bankster or some Theocrat from some backwoods country ending with "istan" The public, human, animal, and mineral do not have a friend in the White House. To his followers I say: put down the Kool Aid and look at the reality before it's too late. And no, I didn't support McCain and the half-wit Palin.
Mr. Meister: Thank you! Obama is a hell of a teleprompter reader and his suits are quite nice. Beyond that . . . well, we had better hope that hope isn't all we are left with when the proverbial dust settles.
Limited private healthcare will attract the most qualified doctors, specialists, treatment. Available to the wealthiest Americans and anybody else with money. The rest will survive on the scraps of national healthcare. Or maybe not. Those at the lower end of the economic scale will suffer the most.
There is little incentive for gov to keep baby boomers alive since Congress has drained their social security benefits out of the system. Just sayin.
I think vouchers would cause the end to any parental control over education. It seems like a good idea ... but how that money is used would slowly start to be regulated more and more by government. 30 years after it starts it might as well be a public education system that people can not opt out of. We need government out of education. We need government out of everything. The private sector can and should take over all aspects of what government does.
Hey man...if you saw the latest 'web bot' release you might want to postpone that move to the east coast... looks like we havn't got a lot to worry about soon....
Don't worry too much on that everyone will choose a cheaper public health care. In my country we have universal health care, and still people choose to pay huge amounts to get cared at a private hospital (much better, faster). Fortunately we can have health care insurances now that keeps prices lower, but a full privatization would benefit the customers (the same in the US, since it is too much subsidized).
Whoah! Re: The Chicago school failure... The minority of students who are graduating are the reason the majority who aren't failed to do so? That makes NO sense.
Likewise, teachers have a responsibility to educate, but that's a complicated issue, especially with overcrowding and obstacular policies. I'm thinking that the little darlings not graduating probably don't care and would rather be anywhere besides a classroom in ANY school, and that's why they fail. Decent vid, otherwise. ='[.]'=
I too concur with the sentiments regarding your edited vs. unedited style, HTWW, and think you should go with the latter. It feels more personable, intimate and, while not as flash-bang and pithy, is certainly much more intellecually engaging, not to mention the moments which help lighten up the lightning-fast seriousness of the edited style. Just my two cents, but I think you should definitely give the unedited style a shot, at least for a little while.
I used to be leftist until the Obamanation. Bowing to Islamisists, and stealing from the poor to give to the rich is appalling. Does the public know that Obama is cutting dental/optical/et cetera from medi-cal/medicaid to pay for the massive HMO he is creating? Now we can all receive substandard care. HOORAY! If the conservatives would lay off of scapegoating gays and turning morals into political issues, scores of disenfranchised Americans would fill the Libertarian/FISCAL Conservative ranks.
You are right about the Libertarians being social liberals. I meant to say that if republicans would shake off the religious right like the blood-sucking fleas they are (ie. that bloated pill-popper Rush Limpdick), people like me would happily support them. I am visiting Detroit, MI, USA where the moslems have taken over nearly the whole of Dearborn. Women in beekeeping gear trailing behind some greasy little misogynist is enough to make me vomit. The U.S. and Europe had better wake up - SOON!
So the public model is going to drive the other health insurance companies out of businesses because they can't compete and your problem with this is?
Because it's SUBSIDIZED, which amazingly does not equate efficient. Out-competing firms because the government can rob to finance its activities does not mean it is more efficient.
Actually, unless it is dealing with voluntary financiers and consumers, you have no way of proving that, and lower "costs" don't really mean anything absent the former, so in what respect is it more "efficient"? "Lower" costs because it doesn't e.g. need to advertise means nothing.
It also means they don't need to pay shareholders, nor do they have to put up with cronies on the board of directors. They could open up their books and show exactly how they are coming up with their numbers. Maybe not proof, but certainly an improvement on the current black hole that is corporate privacy.
A white guy in D.C. who isn't a member of Congress? WTF?
And who gives a crap about the Iranian elections? It's not like any of the alleged opposition wanted normal relations with Israel or called for an end to their pursuit of nuclear weapons!
Conflict theory at work. Hardcore right wings say the world is falling apart. Hardcore left wings are saying the world has never been shinier. Truth of the matter is that it mostly likely falls somewhere in the middle. It is neither good nor bad, it just... is. And we all have to deal with it and do what we believe will make it better.
One issue that bothers me is biased media. It gets increasingly hard to figure out the facts when the media runs off opinion and favoritism.
HTWW with schools, at my high school its the discipline programs that are a root cause of probolems. Alright so you get in trouble you get in school suspension for X amount of days. In there when you finish youre work, so i hear, you play games and crap. HELLO ITS PUNISHMENT people are bad on purpose to get out of class.
They make disturbances and fights which disrupt others plus they make their future retarded.
ya, the public should know who is visiting the White House. Most of things going on are engineered by the Federal Reserve, nothing new other than they are at it again.
Why is it that every world power from the Babylonians through the Romans, the British Empire to the Americans has genuinely believed their country is the best there has ever been?
Are they all right or is it just arrogance derived from corpulence and bullying?
My clichéd advice to any patriots out there:
Read some history books.
Every dog has his day. Enjoy it while it lasts, but don't kid yourselves. It won't last forever.
I'm happy for you, but you can at least talk about some news in the picture :( I thought the green screen was overkill though. But I've learned a lot from you.

Over time, Western democracy has evolved from accepting slavery to its present form. However, money, the interest groups, the religious view and other forces have always influenced it. In Iran, the same forces are involved in the dynamics of its democracy. The difference is not as much about the elements involved as it is about the balance and the amount of the involved elements. Giving Irans democracy some time, it might evolve to a more meaningful form than the western one.

In any case, what I'm saying (re individual vs public) is that publicly-funded health care has a very poor international track record. Medicare and Medicaid already account for more than half of our total government expenditures; WE CAN NOT AFFORD a national plan on top of that, especially with our current deficit. In any case, I went out and got a job with a health insurance plan. I have no need or desire to depend on a government health care plan, and fail to see why others cannot do the same.
FreemanicParacusia 2 years ago
Freemanic, This is where we will disagree.
1. Other nations have demonstrated that public healthcare is sustainable and effective at a feasible cost.
2. Nowhere has a private model come close to the broad demographic application of public models.
3. Belligerent self interest(I got mine, you go get yours) doesn't help, and can't stop a movement with significant social momentum.
VeritasVoce 2 years ago
Cool. I appreciate your continued civility.
1. Our news sources seem to portray this differently, but then, I've already lost faith in most of the American mainstream news organizations
2. In terms of who is covered, yes, but lack of insurance doesn't stop people from getting needed treatment in the US from what I've seen
3. Maybe so, but the public is pretty divided on this issue (49% for, 44 against according to Reuters). Just because a majority espouses an idea doesn't make it a good one

"Other nations have demonstrated that public healthcare is sustainable and effective at a feasible cost."
You can't be serious. I don't know where you're getting your info, probably from Obama himself, but other Nations with public socialized plans have clearly demonstrated that there are serious problems with a government run health care plan. Just ask people from England, what a mess. And then there are people like you wishing for the same disaster to happen here. Get your facts straight.

Massachusetts' public health care system is presently the most expensive in the country, and also has the longest average patient waiting periods. It is this system that Obama wants to implement nationwide, for the sake of people whom for the most part either chose not to buy health insurance or are not US citizens. Medicare and Medicaid are already crushing us, and Obama has quadrupled our nat'l debt with stimulus pachages. We cannot afford a nationalized health care plan on top of all of this.

You said you don't understand why the idea of giving public money to private schools is not a good idea, so I'm going to try to explain why to you. The idea behind public schools vs private schools is that private schools can (to an extent) set their curriculum which would mean you would be spending MY tax dollars to teach - say - Catholocism. Aditionally, money given for vouchers is money taken out of the public school system which effectively damages the public system even more.

HoppingNinja 2 years ago 2
Well, first because evolution is a fact. Micro evolution has been observed. And second, macro evolution is taught as a theory in science class, the same way number theory is taught in math class, music theory is taught in band class and automotive theory is taught in car shop. Meanwhile, Catholic schools are perfectly free to teach whatever hocum they like, just not with the money of Jewish, Islamic and atheistic tax-payers.

@HoppingNinja all that stuff should be taught as it is. religion and theory. In fact, it should be a course you could elect to take. "Religion and Theory 101"
By NO means should anything that is only a theory be taught as truth. Same goes for anything that requires faith. If you want to teach your kids wither of those things at home as truth, thats your business....but it should not be taught as truth in schools. Everyone's beliefs differ too much to teach anything along those lines as "truth"

America spends more money on education per student than any other country already. Clearly, throwing more money at this problem is not going to solve it. What we need to do is to find out why we are not getting our money's worth right now - I personally suspect that the current PC curricula and deadbeat parents at home have a lot to do with it.

Neither the Baucus, nor the Obama health care plans allow for "everyone" to switch from their private insurance to the public plan; only small business, self-employed, or individuals without access to a group plan would be eligible for the public plan (if there is one). Yes, there are proposals being discussed that include a Medicare-style option for all, but that is not the plan that the President is pushing and those plans do not have much support in congress.

A young woman was murdered on Saturday. While participating in a protest march, 26-year-old Neda Soltani was shot in the heart by a Basij militia member. She died in the street almost instantly. In response, the Iranian government issued a ban on collective prayers for her, and reportedly denied her family the right to give her an Islamic funeral. Her killer has not been identified.
Our government has yet to voice support for the demonstrators.

Do not support this government health plan. It will only hurt the economy even more by promising services that are below market value. Common sense dictates that when you promise to buy something that's cheaper than what it actually costs, you have to make up for the cost deficit somehow. That cost deficit goes adds to the $9 trillion (or whatever insane amount it's up to now) national deficit.

Remember we've been told to fear and hate Iran for 8 years. Naturally, when the New Shah didn't get in, we got mad. All we hear are his supporters and how upset they are. No real evidence has been offered that the election was rigged. Ayatollah has called for a review, he has also noted that the protests are fomented by outside (US) interests. Why play along with propaganda the US media hands you? Why cheer for the puppet? It's all a show, you know.

really, another bush stole the election bullshit sobe story. both elections were close but the system we had in place was upheld by even a liberal supreme court. not to mention Ahmadinejad thinks the holocaust either never happened and was completely made up or only a few jews died, instead of the reality that 6 million jews were killed.

I think vouchers would cause the end to any parental control over education. It seems like a good idea ... but how that money is used would slowly start to be regulated more and more by government. 30 years after it starts it might as well be a public education system that people can not opt out of. We need government out of education. We need government out of everything. The private sector can and should take over all aspects of what government does.

In my country we have universal health care, and still people choose to pay huge amounts to get cared at a private hospital (much better, faster).

Does the public know that Obama is cutting dental/optical/et cetera from medi-cal/medicaid to pay for the massive HMO he is creating? Now we can all receive substandard care. HOORAY! If the conservatives would lay off of scapegoating gays and turning morals into political issues, scores of disenfranchised Americans would fill the Libertarian/FISCAL Conservative ranks.

Well libertarians are socially "liberal" (in fact they are "Liberal" in the original sense of the word) so the time to vote for them is now already.

You are right about the Libertarians being social liberals. I meant to say that if republicans would shake off the religious right like the blood-sucking fleas they are (ie. that bloated pill-popper Rush Limpdick), people like me would happily support them. I am visiting Detroit, MI, USA where the moslems have taken over nearly the whole of Dearborn. Women in beekeeping gear trailing behind some greasy little misogynist is enough to make me vomit. The U.S. and Europe had better wake up - SOON!

So the public model is going to drive the other health insurance companies out of businesses because they can't compete and your problem with this is?

Because it's SUBSIDIZED, which amazingly does not equate efficient. Out-competing firms because the government can rob to finance its activities does not mean it is more efficient.

It does not have to be subsidized at all to drive others out of the market. It is simply more efficient.
j0hnwi11iams 2 years ago
Actually, unless it is dealing with voluntary financiers and consumers, you have no way of proving that, and lower "costs" don't really mean anything absent the former, so in what respect is it more "efficient"? "Lower" costs because it doesn't e.g. need to advertise means nothing.

It also means they don't need to pay shareholders, nor do they have to put up with cronies on the board of directors. They could open up their books and show exactly how they are coming up with their numbers. Maybe not proof, but certainly an improvement on the current black hole that is corporate privacy.

A white guy in D.C. who isn't a member of Congress? WTF?
And who gives a crap about the Iranian elections? It's not like any of the alleged opposition wanted normal relations with Israel or called for an end to their pursuit of nuclear weapons!

Conflict theory at work. Hardcore right wings say the world is falling apart. Hardcore left wings are saying the world has never been shinier. Truth of the matter is that it mostly likely falls somewhere in the middle. It is neither good nor bad, it just... is. And we all have to deal with it and do what we believe will make it better.
One issue that bothers me is biased media. It gets increasingly hard to figure out the facts when the media runs off opinion and favoritism.

ya, the public should know who is visiting the White House. Most of things going on are engineered by the Federal Reserve, nothing new other than they are at it again.

Why is it that every world power from the Babylonians through the Romans, the British Empire to the Americans has genuinely believed their country is the best there has ever been?
Are they all right or is it just arrogance derived from corpulence and bullying?
My clichéd advice to any patriots out there:
Read some history books.
Every dog has his day. Enjoy it while it lasts, but don't kid yourselves. It won't last forever.

You're right. Chairman Obama is going to make sure of that.

I'm happy for you, but you can at least talk about some news in the picture :( I thought the green screen was overkill though. But I've learned a lot from you.
