When the financial system is collapsed by the insiders everyone will be a victim to some extent, even those as rich as Ross Perot. As long as it isn’t collapsed I intend to take advantage of the frame work to do good.Then I would be forced to follow. I would not expect them to disrupt their lives further by moving back home to take care of me or their mother, anymore than I would be able to move back home if my parents suddenly lost everything. I would invite them into my home and honor them until God calls them.
We have been told:
I, for one, will not be caught off guard if our financial system collapses.
Something we all should think about.
SO many things happen in our life that isn’t fair are things that can’t be fixed.There is one and only one reason for that. Because people make it that way. That can be fixed if we want to.
In most caes, yes.SO many things happen in our life that isn’t fair are things that can’t be fixed.
You still didn’t explain how you expect to be protected from corrupt businesses by handing your healthcare over to corrupt politicians.You forgot there are lobbyests that are anti big busess involved too.
No, the lack of fairness in life cannot be fixed.There is one and only one reason for that. Because people make it that way. That can be fixed if we want to.
Think lesser of 2 evils.You still didn’t explain how you expect to be protected from corrupt businesses by handing your healthcare over to corrupt politicians.
Oh yeah… Mary Landreu (?) of Lousiana sells her vote for 300 million dollars in federal aid. I’m curious what Ben Nelson was bribed with… or threatened with.Think lesser of 2 evils.
Mary Landreu got the carrot, Nelson got the stick…Oh yeah… Mary Landreu (?) of Lousiana sells her vote for 300 million dollars in federal aid. I’m curious what Ben Nelson was bribed with… or threatened with.
I heard had rumors of that, but I wasn’t sure if it was true. That is incredible! A healthcare bill is more important than a strategic air force base!Mary Landreu got the carrot, Nelson got the stick…
The Obama administration’s hired thug, Rahm Emanuel, threatened to close Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska if he didn’t get on board by flagrantly abusing the Base Realignment and Closure Act. That would have displaced over 10,000 military families employed at the base, not to mention all of the civilian personnel employed there- doing tremendous damage to the nebraska economy.
Someone ought to go to jail for this, but I’m sure this story will never make it int the mainstream news.

A big corporation made up a lie to get me fired, and I have no recourse. That caused me to get foreclosed on. So yes businesses can reek their own havoc too. I’m facing homelessness, at least in jail you gets 3 hots and a cot and free healthcare.Lesser of two evils?
What evidence do you have that one of these evils is lesser than the other?
For that matter, what evidence do you have that the evil you’re prefer is lesser than the evil you don’t?
One could make the argument that the evil perpetrated by the government, at least in this matter, is greater because it is involuntary and imposes a condition upon us.
Once the government makes a decision about healthcare, I’d have to either support it with my taxes, or I’d go to jail, they’d take my home away, and/or put my wife and child on the street. I’m sure that option sounds great to some big government folks because my wife and child would likely become dependent upon government support at that point- which is where a lot of people believe we all belong, I guess.
On the other hand, the evil perpetrated by big business is voluntary insofar as you are not, at least not yet, required by law to buy what big business is selling. Sure, you may not LIKE the alternative of not buying what they’re selling, but corporations can’t throw you in jail or take away your home based on your refusal to buy what they’re selling.
Add to that the fact that neither the government plan nor the current healthcare system even claim to be able to provide satisfactory healthcare to all people of all age and income levels.
Clearly, neither of those alternatives are positive, but I can’t see how you can say that one is lesser than the other.
Your attempts to keep dodging the issue are extremely transparent, and this is an excellent example.And some ought to get a life sentance for Pathia’s situation too. Seeing neither will happen the score is zero / zero, were even.
This is an appeal to pity, as well as a red herring.A big corporation made up a lie to get me fired, and I have no recourse. That caused me to get foreclosed on. So yes businesses can reek their own havoc too. I’m facing homelessness, at least in jail you gets 3 hots and a cot and free healthcare.
Just an update on this- I’m watching on the news right now that Nelson also got a sweetheart deal for NE that apparently means the federal gov’t will pick up the tab for all future medicaid patients. By contrast, other states have to split the bill for their own medicaid patients with the federal gov’t. In effect, this means that the cost of NE’s medicaid patients will become the responsibility of taxpayers in the other 49 states.I heard had rumors of that, but I wasn’t sure if it was true. That is incredible! A healthcare bill is more important than a strategic air force base!
Or should I rephrase it - a president’s reputation and legacy is more important than our national security! The “Obama-nation” is an abomination!
Your attempts to keep dodging the issue are extremely transparent, and this is an excellent example.
Let’s count the logical fallacies in your response…
This fallacy is committed when it is assumed that because someone else has done a thing there is nothing wrong with doing it. By extension, as you are illustrating here, it can lead to the erroneous conclusion that an incidence of someone getting away with doing something bad is sufficient to justify that another person should also get away with doing something bad.
- The tu quoque fallacy:
You did this by somehow concluding that we ought to overlook the current administration’s unethical behavior because other people have behaved unethically in other situations. Incidentally, using this same faulty logic, you should be completely fine with people pillaging and burning your neighbors house because the Vikings got away with the same kind of thing.
An appeal to pity attempts to persuade using emotion—specifically, sympathy—rather than evidence. Playing on the pity that someone feels for an individual or group can certainly affect what that person thinks about the group; this is a highly effective, and so quite common, fallacy.
- The appeal to pity:
This fallacy is particularly persuasive because plays the tendency of emotions to cloud, rather than clarify issues.
You did this by attempting to evoke an emotional response by drawing a false corellation between Pathia’s condition and the illegal activities of the administration to which I referred.
The red herring is committed when a listener attempts to divert an arguer from his argument by tossing out different topics, in the hope that your opponent stops debating a particular issue or stance you are unable to defend against.
- The red herring:
You’ve been doing this all along, so I won’t bother pointing out a specific occasion.
A hasty generalisation draws a general rule from a single, perhaps atypical, case. It is the reverse of a sweeping generalization. Incidentally, this is the foundation of your entire position thus far.
- The hasty generalization fallacy:
I could keep going, but it doesn’t matter because you’re likely just going to respond with one of the very same fallacies I’ve already pointed out.
I think the basic problem you’re having is that you’re so entrenched in defending yourself that you’re making no attempt to seriously consider anything anyone else has to say.
Tread lightly, my friend: that is a two-way street.3 Red herring. It’s only a red herring because it isn’t important to you. Well Ive got news for you, not everything has your priorities. I was bring up things that I think are important If you don’t like it, LUMP IT!!
I deal out with the same measure to which I am treated. I find him to be very insulting.Tread lightly, my friend: that is a two-way street.
I would like to ask if any of your position is based out of fear of the fact that you are facing homelessness?A big corporation made up a lie to get me fired, and I have no recourse. That caused me to get foreclosed on. So yes businesses can reek their own havoc too. I’m facing homelessness, at least in jail you gets 3 hots and a cot and free healthcare.
As someone who live in Germany for many years and has some familiarity the welfare system in Great Britain,I warn you that it is foolish to compare either country with the United States. Great Britain and is a lesser degree Germany have highly centralized governments and populations that have little role to play in politics. Not to exaggerate too much, they are “soft” tyrannies that allow little scope for private enterprise. The kindest term for their governments is paternalism, of father knows best. Be good and Daddy will take care of you. It is very hard for small businesses to grow, because the larger corporations work hand in glove with government to maintain their monopolies.First of all you paint al socialized medicine with the same broad brush, very very naughty. To call Canada’s system comparable to Germany’s system is luneytunes. When designing our system we can make it our own way. No all governement is the same after all. In that article the first family in most other countries would at least not be homeless. That in of itself makes those other countries better than us.
