    Is the war against women over???

    I'm convinced that part of the war on women is fueled by Obama's health care reforms. It's a lot easier to claim that your choices are no one else's business if no one else is paying for them. If I'm suddenly forced to pay into a plan that pays for choices you make...then I'm more likely to see...

    Health Insurance & Medical 'Tests'

    I can counter that directly with my mother's experiences. She had three children, two in a military-affiliated facility and one in a civilian hospital because the base they lived on when I was born was too far away from the nearest military hospital (all three were in different states). I, being...

    Health Insurance & Medical 'Tests'

    Another aspect of the whole thing is that when the government takes charge of health care provisions, you get stuff like the so-called war on women. Just as Obama could suddenly order Catholic organizations to buy insurance that violated their beliefs, a future president could order all...

    Health Insurance & Medical 'Tests'

    On this point I actually agree largely with you. Separating insurance from employment is essential. That does not require a government system to implement, however; simply removing the mandate that all large employers provide it would be a good start.

    Health Insurance & Medical 'Tests'

    Also, while Japan might be the only place where there has been a direct infringement of personal rights like this, think about places where fat-hatred is highest: One of the justifications is that your poor health suddenly affects me, because I'm paying higher taxes to take care of you. To think...

    Health Insurance & Medical 'Tests'

    Since I went back to school, I have had insurance, but yes, for several years my employer did not provide insurance access and I was not insured. I got lucky, I agree, that I did not need any major health care until I was insured (and that just barely). And yes, I'm with you that everyone should...

    Health Insurance & Medical 'Tests'

    Something that does NOT prevent weight-discrimination. Remember the nonsense about Japanese workers' waists being measured? It just means that the government can decide what health care you're worthy of receiving/allowed to access rather than the insurers.

    Does anyone else play MMORPG's?

    I'm a creator on a text-based one that's been around for some 20 years now. I have not been sucked into WoW, but I do game when I have time.

    The Merged Thread About Trayvon Martin

    Involved parties, sure. Supporters should demand that things be investigated. Nothing wrong with that. There's a group that put a -bounty- on Zimmerman's head, though. That's not justice.

    "It is important to be rich, have money and expensive things"

    Yeah, that's about my perspective on it. Having enough money that you don't have to worry about it and can do most of the things you'd like to = wealthy in my book. But I think buying expensive stuff just cuz it's expensive is silly.

    The Merged Thread About Trayvon Martin

    He was remarking on your spelling of "witness" as "wetness." Even with the apology for teasing you, I don't think it was very nice. Writing in a second language is really hard. You write much better in English than I probably do in Japanese. (Sorry, but I'm also an English teacher, and it bugs...

    The Merged Thread About Trayvon Martin

    Two horrible wrongs won't make things right. Lynching Zimmerman because he killed Trayvon isn't going to bring Trayvon back and won't bring him justice, either. I don't know any better than anyone else exactly what happened, but we should go through the appropriate legal process to sort it...

    the run on gun purchases

    This doesn't describe the NRA I'm a member of at all, nor any of its members that I know personally. The NRA is very concerned about child safety where guns are concerned, and offers a program to schools and other organizations called Eddie Eagle, where the focus is similar to fire safety...

    Women Should ‘Watch An Abortion Being Performed’ Prior To Having It? WTF?

    Another study suggested 20 weeks, which is far earlier. But those studies can't be 100% positive; after all, studies say that cats can't taste sugar, but our cat loves cake and donuts. People used to believe that newborns felt no pain, and so no painkillers at all were given for operations...

    Women Should ‘Watch An Abortion Being Performed’ Prior To Having It? WTF?

    Nah, it's not that simple. You -know- the baby will feel pain. A frozen embryo is in a state of numbness (regardless of developmental age, but they don't store them more than a few days old anyway, so it's -really- unlikely that they have developed far enough to feel pain.) equivalent to being...

    Women Should ‘Watch An Abortion Being Performed’ Prior To Having It? WTF?

    At what point have I ever invoked God in this discussion? Anyway, I'm an English teacher, not a biology teacher, but I'll humor you in your (I hope feigned) ignorance. 1. In the process of conception, the DNA contributions of the parents' cells are recombined to create a new (and unique...

    An Excellent Article About Religion

    I don't think this is an accurate statement at all. After all, Martin Luther used thought and experience to change (imo, correct) a lot of the faith-based beliefs he had before using those tools to develop some of the early tenets of protestant belief.

    Women Should ‘Watch An Abortion Being Performed’ Prior To Having It? WTF?

    What if it's not a religious belief, but a belief based on scientific facts? I'm all for letting everyone believe what they wish, but not when it's hurting someone else.
