“ljkcan,

Not only did they take their kids from school on the day POTUS spoke, there was barely a mention that in September the Arlington, Texas schools BUSSED kids from school to see Dubya speak at the new Cowboys Stadium.

Where is the OUTRAGE that Beckanoia is going to have INDOCTRINATION CAMPS held all year?”

“And taking their kids out of school to line up with them. Yet they took their kids out of school the day the President spoke to students about the value of an education.”

“Absolutely true, health foods are more expensive and more time consuming.

I think it's a good step for this school to take, if they are also providing assistance to their students to help them lose weight and become healthy. They will live longer and be healthier and happier.”

“Anyone who is not quite sure where they stand on landmines, should rent the movie, "Turtles Can Fly" and contemplate the impact of these weapons on children. Then think too how our modern weapons-- cluster bombs-- are just as dangerous and shameful.

We say we don't war against innocent civilians and children but this kind of action proves otherwise.”

“Okay, but what is the university doing to help students stay fit? What do they serve in their cafeterias? How much do students have to pay for access to the gym or to fitness classes? Does student health provide nutritional counseling?”

“I dont mind my taxes being used as a safety net to help the down and out. I do mind my taxes being used to bail out the rich and richer.

We are propping up the housing market -- prices are overly inflated, regulators should have never let things get this out of control and now instead of letting prices deflate they are pumping more money in--

We need to get away from bubble mentality. No bubble can stay inflated indefinitely.

We are just prolonging the inevitable.”

“So what, we are all taxpayers. I for one do not want my tax dollars used to help prop up the housing market. This is just another desperate attempt to keep the bubble from bursting--

Meanwhile folks like myself can't afford to buy into this bubble.”

roooth replied on Nov 21, 2009 at 11:37:09

“OK, if your tax dollars don't prop up the housing market, what do you think they'll be paying for? Food lines or pauper's cemetaries? Exactly what are you thinking a burst economic bubble means? Life without dining out? What do you think a Depression would do to your life?

Besides, so far, your taxes are just going to make the uber-rich richer, not prop up the housing market. If it was going to the housing market, we wouldn't be here now.

And if you can't buy in this market, there's something else going on - like your credit isn't all that great. I'm putting lower middle class people in affordable houses that are ridiculously good deals - with the tax credit and down payment assistance to help them with affordibility.

Are you assuming you can't buy right now? Have you talked to anyone about what it would take for you to qualify?”

“Oooooooooh leftist propaganda, LOL.

Are facts leftist? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.

“You are already paying for the obese. You pay in insurance premiums, higher medical bills, and decreased productivity in the workplace. 1/3 of all Americans are obese.

People like you just want to ignore social problems or think perhaps industry will solve these problems, well guess what -- ignoring problems makes them worse.”

“You already are paying for the obesity epidemic-- it's in your insurance premiums and medical bills. It's also reflected in America's economic plunge. This is a social problem with huge costs--

To bad our current medical system offers very little preventative care and our government would rather keep the food industry happy then regulate unsafe food products.

But we have so much fun blaming the victims.”
