Yes, you'll have to pay taxes, as usual, and yes, some of that tax money will go to abortions, and yes, there are the standard penalties for tax evasion. But the way you phrased it, that your next-door neighbor is going to make you pay out of pocket for the whole abortion and you go to prison if you refuse, is just assinine. <br />2) Just to make this completely clear, I mentioned that scientists are split about when life begins because this means that there's no consensus about when or whether abortion is murder. Thus, you cannot call abortion murder, pro-choice people murderers, or claim that there is a "holocaust of the unborn" with any certainty. As such, it means that it is a question of what a woman does with part of her body.Reginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273177060431017102.post-35105449009695936852009-12-10T09:27:14.508-05:002009-12-10T09:27:14.508-05:00Jimmy my boy, you are not a jack ass for having a ...Jimmy my boy, you are not a jack ass for having a life (or claiming to have a life). You are a jack ass for saying moronic and offensive things that betray your bigotry and ignorance, and then when logically refuted by several parties, continuing to loudly bray that you are right. And what, oh what, could I have possibly found offensive about "Nancy Pelosi putting people in prison for not buying their neighbor's abortions?" Let's start simple, for a simple man: nobody will be buying their neighbor abortions under the bill. Secondly no one will be imprisoned because of it. You admitted yourself that the bill does not force anything on anyone. And DON'T give me this b.s. about "imprisonments are implied." You show me where they're implied, pal, then I'll take you seriously. Now, let's get into what YOUR nasty comment implies. It betrays your troglodytic views on women and their rights--as does your "Holocaust of the Unborn" remark in another response. Scientists are split pretty much down the middle about when life begins, by the way, but I doubt you'll believe me. BUt here's the really important thing: YOU ARE NOT A WOMAN. When YOU have the risk of getting knocked up with an unwanted fetus, and have to carry it in your stomach for 9 months, and then have to squeeze something the size of a watermelon through an opening the size of a grape using ONLY YOUR ASS MUSCLES, then have to take care of it for 20 years (when maybe you are ill-equipped to do so), and possibly have your life ruined by all this, THEN you can talk about what women can and cannot do with their bodies. Remember, a man has a 20 second orgasm, and then all other participation is VOLUNTARY. THAT is what is wrong with your jack ass comment, Jack Ass Jim.Reginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273177060431017102.post-89522454119846657702009-12-07T19:31:17.645-05:002009-12-07T19:31:17.645-05:00No, I didn;t just give up.

Sean, the healthcare proposal, as it stands, does not claim, publicly, to force anything on anyone, but in fact there are fees and imprisonments implied in the bill, if people indicated to be in a certain bracket choose not to purchase the public option. I'm not one of those people, thankfully. That is particularly what reeks of socialism, as does the potential for rationing, which will happen. There simply is not enough money there.

But did Jack-ass Jim just give up? and WHAT was that little comment of his earlier about "Nancy pelosi putting people in prison for not buying their neighbor's abortions"?!

Are you claiming that people who cannot afford health care don't deserve the same, high quality, treatment that the rich get? If that is your assertion then I am afraid I cannot, and WILL NOT, accept such an aristocratic notion. We are all guaranteed rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and this applies to all Americans, not just those wealthy enough to "buy" it.Seanhttp://www.facebook.com/seanmdavismusicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273177060431017102.post-80402108724863054012009-11-19T10:37:07.991-05:002009-11-19T10:37:07.991-05:00The problem with your argument here Jim is that th...The problem with your argument here Jim is that the government is not controlling the entirety of the health care industry, if they were I'd agree that it was socialist (which, I might add, I fully support). However they are only introducing a public OPTION, which will sit along side of private insurers. Therefore your argument falls apart, in a socialist economy and government you would not be given a choice, and that's the point is it not? Promote competition through choice, sound quite capitalist to me.Seanhttp://www.facebook.com/seanmdavismusicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273177060431017102.post-37186900427166405822009-11-18T23:13:09.207-05:002009-11-18T23:13:09.207-05:00re: John Wilkes Booth - he broke out into song, ri...re: John Wilkes Booth - he broke out into song, right?
