[QUOTE="jalexbrown"]The US government is like the worst-run company ever.br0kenrabbit

Again:

Medicare overhead: 2%

Private insurance overhead: 20%-30%

This question is to you, please answer: Which of the above is more effecient?

You cite one program that works to prove that the whole of the government is well-run? Talk about low standards.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="4dr1el"]BlahblahblahblahIhaterapblahblah4dr1el

You messed up your quotes so I can't decipher what you're laughing about. is it the fact that you're basically saying anything less than Henley, Whitman, Neruda, and Pessoa has no talent?

Rap isnt poetry. Not even close. Rap is just gibberish without any deep conotation to it

And I'm done with this argument. Rap is sh1t and always will be. Dont even reply cause I'm not even entering this stupid thread again. whoever think rap requires any "skill" or "talent" is a sheep without any real taste

Wow...you have such great taste in poetry and yet lack the ability to properly spell connotation? And to boot you can't even add the apostrophe to "Don't"? I'm starting to wonder if you didn't just Google names of popular poets so that you could sound smart. ... Oh, he's gone? Good riddance to bad company.

I don't like the old direction of Big Bang Theory.

Why do you idiots keep quoting this, then even worse is you quote the previous blank response too. If you have nothing to contribute don't comment you stupid hipster.

Don't get your panties in a twist over it....

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Oh I have a different company through work for presecriptions.br0kenrabbit

Point being, insurance companies aren't out to care for you, they're there to make a profit for their shareholders. Socialized medicine doesn't have this problem.

I've lived in both the US and Canada, so I've seen both sides of the issue.

My ex-wife had a pulminary embolism while we were still married and living in Canada, came very near death. She was in the O.R. as soon as they wheeled her in the hospital, no waiting or anything like some would have you to believe.

If we were in the US, that incident would have bankrupted us. We would have had to sell the house to cover it, I'm sure.

The US government is like the worst-run company ever.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="4dr1el"]

rap = poetry

:lol:

4dr1el

Have you by chance listened to anything 2Pac except for what was mainstream?

Yes.

If you're comparing 2pac to the likes of William Hernest Henley, Walt Whitman, Pablo Neruda or Fernando Pessoa I'm gonna laugh hard in your face

So amazing poets are your minimum bar for being talented? The whole world must suck to you.

[QUOTE="ad1x2"] Most poor people already qualify for Medicaid, so it's not like those people aren't going to get any medical care if this law is repealed. LJS9502_basic

Medicaid is very underfunded and full of holes, only a certain number of people can be on it at one time and it doesn't cover all of them. It would have made more sense just to have expanded the program to everyone, or set up a health care system like social security.

Our health care system is a disaster, and I find it hypocritical in my view that we don't take better care of people. As a believer of God I am supposed to help poor people, and our health care system doesn't do that one bit.

Also I am a pro lifer (not debating abortion, don't feel like arguing that now) and we have the HIGHEST infant mortality rate of any western nation. And that's not right, I want to help babies and children, both before AND after they are born.

Read your first sentence over and then think about more government involvement in medical care.

[QUOTE="redstorm72"]

Guitar. No offense to wrap, I have nothing against it, but it is just talking fast and in rythm. If you want to include writing into the argument, then yeah, it takes some talent to write decent rap lyrics. That being said, I think writing decent guitar chord prgressions/tabs is equally difficult while still being more difficult to perform. Plus, many guitarists write the lyrics to their songs as well, which takes no less skill than writing rap lyrics. All in all, I would say it isn't much of a contest.

Marth6781
That's because you don't know any rap music. The amount of thought that goes into rap lyrics is pretty amazing. Many lines have triple meanings, combined with a wealth of literary devices you do not see in any genre but hip hop. Not to mention rappers make their own beats as well, so I really don't see the argument here. If you really think that hip hop is just talking on beats then you have no idea about rapping and quite frankly your opinion is invalid.

To be fair not all rappers make their own beats, but I still agree with everything you said.

[QUOTE="TopTierHustler"]

[QUOTE="kraychik"] This is funny, a Jew pretending to know what Jesus would be in favour of. Since when was Jesus a socialist?Inconsistancy

the whole time, remember no rich man will get into heaven?

Matthew 19:24 - "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

I don't believe any of this crap, but at least use the words out of the dumb book.

It's not impossible, it's just stupidly improbable.

The point that money corrupts wasn't really so far off, was it?
