“There shouldn’t be people on the other side of it.” See, the problem becomes when people can’t accept that there are more than two sides to an issue. For instance, I don’t play Overwatch, but if I did then I wouldn’t care about “This character is that ethnicity/sexuality/etc.” Unfortunately for me, often a lack of…

Gotta admit, the reload sound at the end made me think of the little bell from “Thanks Smokey.”

An addendum to my previous answer I thought, I don’t know how this would play in court (realistically it’d never come to pass, but that’s the whole point of my unrealistic scenario, a thought experiment :P), but in a manner of speaking, the right to an attorney could also be interpreted as a negative right to the…

Fair point I’d not considered, I’ll give you that. Not sure of the answer (shows I need to bone up on my Sixth Amendment; I’d always thought of the trial by jury, but didn’t remember the bit about legal counsel). I suppose my answer would have to go along the lines of still saying you don’t have a right to…

See, I’d prefer an open-market approach (a true market approach). Imagine this scenario, we declare healthcare a right. Tomorrow, all doctors/nurses/etc vanish. What now? If we have a right to healthcare, does that mean the government has the right to point to random people in the crowd, declare that they must become…

“NO ONE...has suggested that doctors and nurses work for free.” Not free, but I was reading an article the other day that said “healthcare for profit” was immoral (too lazy to cite, so take it for what you will). But regardless, if that’s the case that you may still demand payment, that means healthcare is not a…

Prohibition against slavery and involuntary servitude. If healthcare itself is a right, then that implies you have the right to demand healthcare from others. That falls into involuntary servitude territory. Otherwise, I could go to my doc, demand to be seen, get treatment, walk out and refuse to pay, then come back…

“American citizens worldwide” Well, you can be a US citizen living/working abroad. So long as you got your citizenship (either by being born or naturalized) and don’t give it up, you can still go elsewhere and live/work (so long as you follow all the rules of both nations).

Her original answer is correct. Healthcare is a privilege, not a right. Thank you Fourteenth Amendment.

For the sake of argument, let’s say it was indeed a right. Then, the next day all doctors vanish from the face of the earth. ...What now? If it’s a right, does the government have the right to point out “You, you,…

Healthcare is not a right. The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits it.

The days of good, wholesome television. Still love the fact that originally his sweatervests were made by his mom. Such a good man he was. I think the last episode I ever saw had him learning about a spoon factory.

So, a criminal is threatening to kill another person, you think the police shouldn’t be able to take him out? If he shoots someone else, he’s not shooting at the police, should they not be able to do anything about it? There’s a lesson in terrorism for you, “Go kill a lot of people, just be sure not to shoot at the…

Hrm, that would be interesting for use with Star Citizen...

Because of the intended audience. Comey is (well, was) answerable to the President and Congress. He was basically telling them “Hey, there is a new aspect that I am looking in to FYI.” It is keeping them in the loop of what he’s doing. I do it with my boss all the time, letting him know when something important’s come…

FYI, he didn’t “announce” a reopening of the investigation. He sent a letter informing Congressional leaders about this, and they were the ones who leaked it.

Question: Comey sent the letter to leaders in Congress. It was they who leaked it. Aren’t they the ones who “swayed the election?”

In Scotland I got a haggis burger (burger with haggis topping) that was interesting. It wasn’t anything super special (just a fast food joint), but I could see someone using that as a jump point!

Let this be a teachable moment: There are often times big companies like regulation because they can afford it/lawyers to protect themselves, while making it harder for smaller companies to get into the business.

Bluntly, that line of thinking misses the point. If NK develops the ability to launch ICBMs, it’s not like the US is their only target. It boils down to their current targets now are: South Korea, Japan, and others in the region. In the future, it will be South Korea, Japan, others in the region, AND the United…

It wouldn’t necessarily be based on the test per say, but everything combined. Basically, the longer they have to work, the more likely it will be that they WILL get within striking distance of the US, so at some point action will have to be taken in some form or another to prevent this from happening.
