@dragonfliet: I just want to say I'm all against what he did and I agree it was against the law, but that response was uncalled for. I wanted ideas that could work besides his and all I get is predictable hate. Look I agree with you, and the least you can do is comprehend the post. If you have no real solutions that take into account the situation that was really going on then go away. That includes if you don't know the situation.
Thank you.
Thank you.

That was the most retarded piece of writing I have read in a long time. Of course any jackoff in law school has enough time to sit around with their thumb up their A-S-S and ponder the pointless void that is American politics - THEY don't live in the real world.
American politics are for people who are obsessed with power, who want to be on the winning team. I don't give a damn which party is in power; if what I enjoy doing becomes illegal, I'm not going to stop doing it. People don't have enough balls to distance themselves from this 200 year-old game of mind-numbing namecalling. Seriously America, grow up. The dude who wrote that is just a hateful child who's kissed *** his whole life. He probably has it SO easy, so of course he can shoot his mouth off. I've got a great vernacular as well, but I don't have to spout a bunch of bull**** just to show it off.

Yes, they could have killed them all, or forced them to integrate into society where they likely would have died as well. So, no, I don't think it was the worst possible thing, but it certainly wasn't the right thing to do.
You call giving them a free ride for life SELF GOVERNANCE? Putting a few people in charge of their cities and building them a public school doesn't change the fact that they are getting massive amounts of welfare. And, yes, I think that is FAR worse than what happened way back when they were put on the reservations, because instead of a few people in one generation passing with nothing useful happening, we have GENERATIONS of people not contributing to society even though that have a lot to offer.
Most of the reservations WERE poorly located, but with the advancement of communication technology, in particular, that really is no excuse anymore. I lived in an area between Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City. If they wanted to industrialize this area, it would be EXTREMELY easy.
And I think calling it "depressed destitution" is downplaying the importance of what each individual can do. Frankly, each of them could choose to leave the reservation and make a life for themselves working hard and contributing to society. Several of them do. But far more of them don't do that, and it is partially because they have absolutely no reason to leave their cushy life. The government could do a lot more for them by stopping what they are currently doing, and providing ways for them to integrate into our society in beneficial ways.
Funny because the last time I checked socialism and the lefts discrimination leads to poverty and no individual rights. Go figure...
We need every thread to turn into healthcare is the problem.
EVEN IF THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
The truth can be like anal for the first time.

Worst poster or worst poster?
I think that part of the problem is that you look at the reservation and then make generalizations based off of that. Most Natvie Americans that make it don't come back to the reservation (just as those who succeed from the ghetto or trailer parks don't come back to them). These reservations aren't huge bustling centers of people so the majority are going off and trying to do something and so you have the bottom section of the equation staying put, which is part of the reason that the areas are so depressed (both economically and depressing).
And Cushy? Life like that is not cushy. There is a reason that native americans living on reservations have significantly higher levels of poverty, depression and alcoholism.
But part of the problem is that when a people is systematically discriminated against for hundreds of years, it makes reintegration very difficult. Both because there is a cycle of poverty to overcome (and while some individuals CAN do this, it is much harder for the majority) and the people breed a distrust of the oppressors (go figure). You see this an many, many, many impoversed sections of the US.
We do, however agree that the gvt SHOULD be doing more in the way of properly funded programs, higher emphasis on education, etc.

I never made that leap. You made it for me, you're putting words in my mouth.
I just pointed out how difficult it is to change jobs or start a business based on the health care issue. I never said that they couldn't do those things because health insurance is some kind of mandate.
You said that. Not me.
I know how things work practically. Anyone can start a business and change jobs without having health care. But realistically, most people can't start a business or change jobs because they might not be able to get new coverage, which is wrong.
yeah but you've got no problem with the government mandate on auto insurance
well, maybe you do. regardless....
You act like the system now is free of a middle man.
There's already a guy in a suit telling you what care you can and cannot get.
But the system works in theory, therefore it should work for everyone. :smug:
Jacks is right btw.

United Kingdom is not a country.
why would you get the care you don't need and why would you know best?
Surely that would waste money, time and resources.
I can't tell if you're joking or not, but unfortunately your insurance not covering something doesn't mean you don't need it or that it isn't the best plan of action.
~Jason
Do you mean because of limitations on pre-existing conditions or something?
At any rate, what hal talked about earlier is the perfect solution for this, better regulation of insurance companies directly and removing a fabricated attachment to employment. Having people pay more for their regular care and less for catastrophic care and have people deal directly with their insurance companies. This would drive prices down and allow people who aren't working for AIG to get a reasonable health insurance plan whether they were unemployed or starting a new business.
The difference with this mandate is that it is not designed to protect you OR your car. It's designed to protect other people and their cars from you.yeah but you've got no problem with the government mandate on auto insurance
well, maybe you do. regardless....
