@Backlin true, they can live without health care, good point, but as the population gets older and older things are going to get worse. You're right, theres two sides to everything.
@Kamil that is right, giving stuff away all the time doesnt help, but I have always thought that if you give good healthcare and education to poor people, they will eventually end up making progress. Taking those worries out of their minds gives them time and money to invest in more productive activities.
Kamil, if the richest country in the world has only one person without healthcare, it means something is wrong. I dont agree with your view that 27 million people (almost 10% of the country) means nothing, honestly its a whole bunch of people. So because someone is poor, and in your view doesnt contribute anything to society (in the completely monetary, superficial and utterly ignorant way you say) you should just let them die? sounds a lot like hitler to me, and for that matter we should kill off the old and the sick too, they dont contribute anything either, heck lets kill the children, its just a waste of money. If you think 27 million is nothing, well i suppose we will never get to any consensus on this.
Most people just go to work and back home 90% of the time, 100 miles is more than enough. I think there is a study on this but its very warm here in Germany now and I am too lazy to google it.
well scooters work pretty well in some parts of europe. theyre small, easy to park, fuel efficient and more fun to drive than a car. As for the fluorescent part, I agree, but it only looks like that in one of the pictures, right?
Tohe, i get what you mean, and you do have a point, there are bad things going on there (and in much of the rest of the world as well), but there are much better ways to try to change it. By the way, when you put gas in those over sized American cars, chances are that youre still giving money to some of those governments.
oh man you just posted that to get some controversy going on right? if we're really going to get to that, then i wont buy american (hiroshima, vietnam, guantanamo, etc etc), german (ww1 and 2), french (napoleon was a bastard), chinese (theres just so much to write about them) or any car at all. I'll keep on riding a peruvian llama, the incas didnt hurt anyone did they?
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
