Fairly interesting read especially when you consider the effects this voting generation will have on American Policies.




The days of discriminating against someone for something as petty as sexual preference could very well be numbered.



The Christian Rights hold on this country may very well be loosened as well. That would pave the path for a superhighway for Stem Cell research to go full-throttle.



Generation by generation we've as a society have become increasingly less conservative. Perhaps certain taboos will become undone.



The Dems will win big apparently.




They are changing voting habits. They are taking their beliefs to the polls. It will be interesting to see how much my generation of the Globalization Age will change this country. /cheer

The other 6 couldn't put down their bongs long enough to bother.

Since when did conservatives like immigration?

And since when did liberal union workers like immigration?

Free trade always by definition increases wealth for all parties. It's the welfare state that is the problem, not immigrant neighbors.

The majority of Conservative arguement against issues like Stem Cell and Homosexual rights is based solely on their religion as being "immoral". So here we have people suffering illnesses that could very well be a thing of the past and homosexual discrimination because some book with lots of good stories says its bad. Bottom line lots of people suffer for no good reason.

Among my peers, the majority of them do not see why we are dumping trillions to keep Arabian/Texas oil kings happy but skimp out on R&D for Stem Cell, and educational revenues. We should be dumping money into Stem Cell, not demonizing it for some fabricated moral that a book came up with.

No I don't wait, I change my own oil.


Any discrimination in (our) history didn't get eradicated through personal choice, there is nothing supporting that homosexual rights will be granted because "everyone says so". The courts had to get involved with African American rights as well as women's rights, equal opportunity, and even the end of slavery. Which I might add Conservative Christians fought for.

When the HPV vaccine was released, there were people fighting against it, (See Family Research Council) now why on earth would they want to stop a virus that causes thousands to suffer from cervical cancer? You may want to sit down for this one:



Now that is a good reason if I've ever heard one.

Gbaji tries to blame media however the Christian Right doesn't need help to look like an ***.

I just think alot of your view that this bodes poorly for conservatives is based on your own assumption that "conservative"=="religious right".

No, the Republican Party has done a pretty good job establishing that in the conventional wisdom over the last 20 years. The semantic reality doesn't matter a whit.

Er? Conservatives have never had any issues with immigration. We like immigration. Legal immigration. In fact, it's liberals who tend to want to throw the monkey wrench in the process. They are beholden to unions, and unions retain their power by having a smaller workforce that they can control. Legal immigration hurts them because there would be an influx of labor that would challenge the unions.

Now, illegal immigration works great for liberals. That's because the workers can't threaten the unions (since they're there illegally a union can always hold that over them and keep those workers "in line"). Funny how liberals say they're pro-labor, but what they really are is pro-union. Illegal immmigration also works well into the "open borders" ideology, which is actually a whole different kettle of fish, but happens to also match some liberals agenda.


Um... And let's not forget the whole "globalization" and "ok with automating and outsourcing" bits in the paragraph. Things witch liberals are *very* opposed to.

That entire paragraph was pretty much 100% in opposition to a "liberal" viewpoint on labor here in the US. Odd that you thought otherwise...

But did it reaffirm that yanks still can't find China, Mexico or Africa on a fUckin' map?

I love reading those

Tricker question.

Africa is technically a 'foreign place' and doesn't count as a country like Americaland or Asia.

So people with say, spinal cord injuries are suffering because of the health care system? Doesn't really matter the wait and cost if they have nothing to give you.

i find this funny as hell. while the wait IS longer in countrys with socialized health care, it is still a far cry better than being POOR in america and needing health care.

only people with money geed better treatment here.

my younger brother fell from a construction job and injured his back and neck. his HMO? ROFL. first they told the emergancy room not to x-ray him because they needed it done by their "specialist". when their "specialist" arived....two days later....they took x-rays of his back in pieces, 4 to be exact.

then, they perscribed treatment for the 2 sections with little to no damage. basically, pain pills. demoral atfirst for the first two weeks, then bare asperin. he was bed ridden. after the third week, he called an ambulance to take him to the emergancy room who did take x-rays this time, because he LIED to them and said he didnt have insurance.

ruptured disk in his lower spine, and a pinched spinel cord in his neck from a ruptured disk there. they recomended surgery....imediatly.

in steps the insurance company with a court order restricting them from working on THEIR patient. off he goes to more of THEIR "specialist. first was a nero-psycoloigest who told him it was all in his head and sent him off to rehab. well, after they carted him out on a streacher from his first session.....then they sent him to a back specialist, who again would only look at the two parts of the back the insurance company gave him x-rays for.

so my brother, bedridden and in pain for over 2 months now, called an ambulance to take him to a place to get an MRI done of his full back. he paid cash. 2500 bucks. then he took them to arbitraition. well, guess who hires the arbitraitior? ROFL. the MRI was ruled inadmissible because it wasnt done by their "specialist". and the arbitraitor sided with the insurance company because, legally, they had done nothing wrong. they didnt deny him treatment. ignore the fact that they wouldnt LOOK at his problem.

in the end, 2 years later, the state declared he was abandoned by his insurance company and did the emergancy surgery that could kill him at any moment on his neck. about 750,000 bucks. they fusned his lower spine.

coarse, after 2 years of munching on "illegal" pain pills cause he couldnt get anything but asparin from his doctors, he is addicted to drugs.

the insurance company setteled for 200,000 bucks. a bargain considering what his medical bills were. the state fined them another 300,000 bucks, but still they are way ahead considering the one surgery on his neck was 750,000 bucks.

my brother? in jail on drug related charges for the last 3 years and will be for the next 4 years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS is medical care for the poor here in the "free market" medical system of america.

waiting 3 weeks would have been a huge bargain for my brother. might even have changed an accident from an even that destroyed his life to a temporary set back

you people that cry "free market roxors" are just friggin CLUELESS. it does not work with health care.

first hand experience.

Monx, stop being violent to your fellow posters.
