Riiiggghhht!!!! Notice when it comes to you giving examples in your life of
how you contribute, you always come up with extreme examples of what your
relatives are or do.

When called about being negative about blacks, you claim to not only have a
black relative, but one that was blacker than most.

When questioned on charity, you claimed to make many charitable
contributions ~ anonymously, the epitome of giving.

When it's suggested that your relatives are union trouble makers in the
medical industry, you respond with the thought that they're first responders
~ emergency responders.

Do you see how all that sounds? It tells us that you're full of bull****
because you continually counter with the best in humanity (your relatives)
while you contribute nothing and exist solely to whine and complain all day
without giving a shred of consideration to anybody.

Daneliuk, you are full of ****. I know it, everybody else knows it. I
suspect (although I could be wrong) even Doug Miller knows it, but he
supports you just to hassle me.

You feel free to question my integrity by calling me evil and a thief solely
based on the fact that I benefit from country wide universal health care. I
know it's all you have. And, if that's the best form of attack you can
muster with your screwed up logic, then you stick with that. But, we both
know what's really true. I don't have to conjure up extreme examples of
contributions by relatives to defend myself. Compared to me, there's nothing
you can offer to bolster yourself.

Two observations:

1. Hypocrisy is not intrinsically bad; 95% of the nation's gynecologists are
men.

2. You can't really criticize a progressive for profanity - it's what they
do. A recent study of mainstream blogs found that the comments section of
liberal blogs contained eighteen times the number of naughty words compared
to conservative sites. For example, "Lucianne.com" has virtually zero
profanity whereas "dailykos.com" contains a high percentage of "the seven
forbidden words."

I suspect, but can't prove, the latter is because liberals argue from an
emotional, child-like, ego state rather than a dispassionate, adult
position. An emotional argument often involves an anecdotal example whereas
an adult discourse usually involves aggregates of a population ("one child
becomes Autistic due to measles vaccine" vs. "thousands don't die because
they don't contract the disease").

I'm not a liberal *or* a conservative, and I'm not taking anyone's "side" here, but I take
offense to anyone who presumes to speak for "everybody else". My guess is that the majority
of participants in this group are silent unless the discussion is on-topic. To hear you

But you won't get a "**** off" from a right-winger. There are two reasons
why this won't happen:

1. We don't often use profanity, and
2. As you correctly point out, we have no inhibition against killing our
enemies.

When Saul told David to bring back the foreskins of a hundred Phillistines
as a bride-price, David got all excited and started figuring how many men he
would need to subdue each Phillistine (because he wasn't counting on
voluntary compliance) and how long it would take, considering he would have
to sharpen his knife between events, and so on, Saul's emissary got all
exasperated: "David, David," he said, "You don't understand! Saul want you
to KILL the Phillistines, not CONVERT them! Saul doesn't care if you bring
back the whole prick!"

We have ways of detecting modern-day Phillistines: Usually it involves the
spontaneous declaration of "**** off."

Horsecrap. My wife and I have employer-provided insurance, but if we left

In their mind, you should just change employers. People like Tim, and
Robots like HeyBub (who is too ashamed of his positions to post with

wherever they are needed; whereas most people actually get jobs that
they _like_, and resent being reslotted for whatever reason or being

It's the old Repubs favor the freedom of business to do whatever they

Some observations:

1. I don't post with my real name because I change it often. The email
address is, however, real. If you send a polite request, I'll be pleased to
provide the name I'm using this week.

2. "Old Repubs" favor business being able to contract with a willing seller
of labor and conditions of work for an agreed on wage.

3. I agree that Dems favor freedom of individuals to do CERTAIN things
(smoke dope, marry the same sex, burn the flag, etc.) but they are, by no
means, libertarians. For example, most liberals favor a woman using a name
other than her real one (which is okay by me inasmuch as she's taking the
name of TWO men instead of the traditional one). Oops.

If the company is providing the insurance then it belongs to the company
and covers you. The same as any company policy, you live with it or
look elsewhere. If you don't like the way the company is being run
then, for many reasons, it is best if you look elsewhere. Because if
you are right and it it is being badly run, then you may be out of work
if you stay. I read some where that a recent graduate will have 6 jobs
in the next 20 years.

Daneliuk, you are full of ****. I know it, everybody else knows it. I

supports you just to hassle me.


You certainly have an active imagination. I'm not going to allow you to drag
me into this argument, though.

wouldn't give me an appointment until they'd heard from the insurance
company. Ditto with appointments with specialists and so on, it all
requires approval from some guy in a cubicle a thousand miles away.

Here's the difference: If you don't like the way your insurance company
treats you - and your observation tends to imply that direction - you're
free to change insurance companies!


No, you're not.

First, many employers only offer one choice.


Thre is more than one employer.

Second, non-employer sponsored plans will cost the employee much, much
more than the employer sponsored plan; and the employee may not be able
to afford it (note that the current figure for the average family employer
plan is $13k per year between the employer and employee for premiums).


There is more than one employer. If you don't like you're benefits
package you are free to look elsewhere. If the employer has a crappy
benefit plan he won't have employees.

Maybe, but it makes life interesting. However, if you want to go on record
as being a supporter of Daneliuk, don't let me stand in your way.
Personally, I don't like trying to make my way through the traffic on an
eight lane highway.

A good start would be to filter everyone who posts in alt.home.repair.
