Socialized healthcare is too bureaucratic for large developed nations to afford. It costs too much, and much of the money is wasted. This is why private healthcare is better in larger countries, inevitably, there will be at least two healthcare insurance companies, and they will need to lower prices to attact more customers. This couldn't be done in poor or developing countries, where money is a problem, and most likely there would only be one private healthcare service. This is why socialized healthcare works best in small countries.

Here's one of the things that even if there was always a God, science disproves:

Cain and Abel. Cain murdered Abel. Then, he had children. Now, consider this, Adam and Eve only had Cain and Abel. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that Cain reproduced with his mother, but that contradicts the Bible's teachings. ;)

Actually, some of my family friends are successful businessmen who are Buddhists. :P

And some my personal friends use computers and are Buddhists. Just goes to show that you shouldn't stereotype. :P

The weird thing is that when you download fansubs of non-copyrighted movies (Whether in Japan, China, or elsewhere) and its recognized, people still thinks its illegal, which it definitely isn't.

Shoot to kill, or shoot to wound?

I've had mine since Spring, no problems/complaints.

Anyways, its free repair, so why worry? Blame Sony and Nintendo for sabotage. ;)

Bush is pretty bad, but he'll never have to come back to the White House.

The reasons I hate him are:

Starting the Iraq War, which is now straining the economy.
Note: Actually, Bush originally did not want to go to Iraq, but Paul Wolfowitz and the public pressured him. Although I admit he is a stubborn president, and he is now a fanatic, we are to blame at least for encouraging our nation to go to war.

Spying on citizens. Although I do see the sense in what he's saying, that doesn't mean he gets to listen to our most secret conversations or install video cameras in showerheads. :P

Those are the two biggies, but there are other numerous reasons I can list, but I'm too lazy to.

Isn't this against the rules? Oh well, not really my choice to get involved in this...

People do suicide bombings for their own conscience. They do this sacrifice for what they belive in, that the US should move out of the Middle East.
