    From, not at. Basically a School/hospital/worship place is almost always a no-go. But if it starts being used to fire rockets from, it becomes a valid target.

    Health insurance companies made ~$45B in profit last year. Americans spent $4.5T on Healthcare. If no health insurance company made any money at all, Americans would have 1% cheaper healthcare. Not more healthcare, btw, just cheaper. It's bullshit that they do it, not that it doesn't happen...

    3-6 are about pharmacys and biotechs, not health insurance companies (though some health insurance companies own pharmacies). 1 is bullshit, and I already pointed it out, but it doesn't make someone a serial killer. 2 is true, but true for a number of industries, and makes them more like...

    And I wish you had this option, and it's criminal (not literally, but it should be literal), that you don't. Note, as someone with a bad pre-existing condition (I'm on a lifelong very expensive medication @ approx 60k/year, though it would be more like 10k if the FDA wasn't so stupid), I get a...

    And you don't seem to understand health insurance, nor 'getting what you pay for'. First, the whole point of insurance or any negotiation is that some things will be approved, and somethings won't. If they rubberstamped stuff, they'd go broke. All insurance companies issue denials. Now some of...

    The exec isn't a serial killer. This comes from the dumb, socialist idea that healthcare (or any limited resource) is a human right, and that declaring it a human right means there will somehow be an unlimited free amount of it. There is a limited supply of healthcare on earth. There exist...

    I like the carve out for NH, but honestly, just let NH do it's own thing entirely. NHExit is what I want.

    EDIT: Just an old reminder prior to the election that your government hates you. Your own government is the biggest threat to your well being, not Russia, not Hamas, not Israel, and not Ukraine. Vote accordingly.

    There's not a lot stopping them from inventing reasons to release convicted murderers either. But honestly, getting out of an asylum is very difficult. It took Brittney Spears a viral internet campaign to get out of guardianship. This is even harder to get out of. Usually, people who get...

    Nah, it was strategic. They knew smaller countries weren't protected, so paying the protection money was really about squeezing out those who couldn't pay protection. Good news here, the times square guy got sent to a criminal insane asylum, and likely will remain there for life. So zero years...

    Or maybe that the Shah we supported was incredibly awful to the Iranian people? Yet for some reason we get along with the Saudis, who spread the worst form of Islamism, which resulted in 9/11. If the US hadn't proped up the Shah, it would still be an Islamic country, but they wouldn't hate the...

    ... Only that ISIS was fighting an US enemy, so it's quite reasonable that they would purposefully supply ISIS through the medium of the 'good guy' rebels. We get nothing from being there. I'm not talking about morality, just simple realpolitik. We could get stuff from being there, but we don't...

    Marduk has gotten it wrong that many times. I just get bored of going back and forth over and over again. Note that the phrasing isn't great in regards to ISIS: we supplied weapons to ISIS by giving them to the 'good guys' who'd promptly sell them to ISIS to topple Assad, who we hate because of...

    *tended. You need a past tense there. They no longer are nearly as economically productive. And the cause of this is welfare. Prior, you would have risk takers come to the US. Now you have rent seekers come to the US.

    Am I the only one fine with people not reproducing? Because the ones not reproducing by and large are leftists. I think that's a good thing.

    It's not about morality. It's about you thinking that because "the elites and a plurality of the voters are fine with it", then there is no problem: This is terminally dumb. In fact, there's a logical fallacy named after this: Argumentum ad populum.

    Still dancing around the fact that your argument is bogus. You are making a statement that "If X was happening and it was bad, most people would be against it" All of history flies in the face of this. The vast majority of people start with a conclusion (Immigrants good or Immigrants bad) then...

    If reality had a controlling impact on politics or beliefs, everyone would be against communism. They aren't. In short: So your argument appealing to a lack of unity is a bad argument.
