Well congratulations, you are successfully the most ignorant racist on this forum (possibly the planet). So can you please share why you don't want to watch Obama, perhaps because he is smarter than you and actually knows what he is talking about?

Why cure a disease like AIDS when you can make billions "treating" it?
It's the same thing as planned obsolesence. The insurance companies run it all and never improve anything because they just want their money. We have free healthcare here in Queensland (in Australia) and it's fucking great.

Republican idiots have bought into capitalism so much that anything else is 'socialist' to them. What's wrong with socialism by the way? Half of them don't even know what it is.

Socialism is bad because theres no incentive to actually work..

i may be an idiot, but if someone is paid to do their job, do they not have incentive to do it?
I love you
If you make the same amount of money regardless of how well you do then you'll take the easy way out.

If you could get straight A's by studying two hours a day BUT you can get the same grades for 10 minutes of studying a week. Which would you do?
hint: if you chose the first one you're lying.

1, Socialism is not Communism
2, That has nothing to do with the healthcare bill, try using related facts when debating.

true communism and true capitalism has never existed, all current "advanced civilizations" are on a small scale of socialism, with capitalism on one side and communism the other. dont kid yourself, it's a slippery slope from one side to the other.

Bold part is truth, non bold part is wtf. Its hardly a slippery slope in politics. In fact, its never a slippery slope in anything. You don't see us adding the communist manifesto to required reading for schools just because we elected a democrat.

The Communist Manifesto, Machiavelli's Prince, and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged should by all means be required reading before any person is able to make a decision that affects any life but their own. speaking of reading about what you're getting into...
A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise. He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command. --Nicollo Machiavelli

^this.

I'll probably be drawing a lot of parallels to Norway in these kinds of discussions. It's not because I mean to be an egocentric twit, but because it fits very well with the kind of politics Barack Obama is trying to approach.

Norway is largely a socialist state. If you're by this point thinking "communism", you're either uneducated, or brainwashed (or both). We have free healthcare, free retirement homes, and a system very much based on mutual welfare. The only notable expense is taxes, something most Americans seem to have a severe allergy against, but with the huge portion of the budget the Bush government threw into military business, there ought to be quite a lot of grub to get from there.
