Something "fishy" about Obama's Health Care Views

I'm wondering if the many die-hard fans of Obama find anything objectionable in the bulletin offered by his administration below:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

I hope everyone's doing their patriotic and/or moral duty and reporting all fishy discussions on this subject here on CS!

RE: The Federal Reserve

That's an excellent way to describe it, Healthy!

RE: The real age of the poster above you....

You have a hard face to read, Falling. Going by its smoothness - its almost complete lack of wrinkles - I'd place you in your early twenties. Unfortunately, your wit and intelligence gives away your age, my friend. You should work on that...

RE: The real age of the poster above you....

I'd guess between 37 - 41, Sweet. I've looked you up before, of course, L, and I think you're around 40, but I'm not sure...

RE: The real age of the poster above you....

37?

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

I love all of me, too!

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

Kind of reminds me of my old boss: "I just can't understand how you could be so stupid!"

He was someone who shared your incredible zeal to understand.

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

Why would you say I'm threatened by it? It's just illogical.

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

Right - seriously, J, they have treated me very well, and have even advised me on how to become a Canadian citizen. The last 10 or so trips they've just basically waved me through.

Now the Americans... They've strip-searched my car a couple of times, and often treated me rudely...

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

Yeah...he deserves eternal punishment for that, granted.

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

Do you truly believe that love for others comes from being commanded to do that by a god - that you care about something because you're being commanded to care??

Wouldn't that make a mockery of what love and caring truly are?

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

But those border guards can be so mean, J!

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

That sounds like the opposite of having a conscience. If you have a conscience about something you care about doing right by it because you believe it is right - not because you fear being punished or rewarded.

RE: it amazes me how many people on here that do no believe in God

It's interesting. You keep proclaiming "I don't understand it," but show absolutely no interest in making even the tiniest attempt to understand the arguments and evidence non-theists/non-Christians use to defend and/or arrive at their beliefs.

Perhaps a more honest statement might be: "I don't get it, and I don't want to get it."

RE: Are some older men too set in their ways?

Right, that claim was of course a generalization, T. I'm not even sure what the percentages of failure would be regarding younger versus older couples, though I would strongly suspect that the younger someone is married the more likely the marriage won't last. I just think the probability of growing apart is much greater for younger couples because they simply have more growing to do - they're less settled in themselves, so to speak.

I'm saying that inflexibility ultimately comes down to the individual not youth per se. If a young person is basically an inflexible type, that will come out in time (and probably is already present). In a long-term relationship, you would increasingly experience inflexibility if it's in the person's nature.

RE: Are some older men too set in their ways?

Younger people are usually not so set in their ways, and are generally more flexible about certain kinds of things like living arrangements, but in the long-run that aspect of a relationship will diminish and eventually become a non-factor; the main factor will ultimately by the personality and character of the individual.

In other words, if you get involved long-term with a young person, those qualities directly attributable to youth will wane and inevitably cease to be a factor. In one sense you might be better off being with someone who's "set in their ways," because at least then you'll know what you're getting into. A young person may not be initially so "set," but will definitely get there - and in ways that may prove rather unpredictable. That's why young marriages so often end - the people change and grown apart as they find their natural comfort zones.

RE: marg999

Agreed. Personally, I find this thread to be too despicable to rate my notice.

RE: marg999

Heck, I own my own rider mower!

RE: dose anyone wanna date this???????

I don't think it's fair to request a wire transfer, T. That's a waste of money, when a simple cashier's check will suffice.

RE: dose anyone wanna date this???????

Desperately bored?

RE: marrage

Are you and your daughter's bird an item again??

RE: marrage

Another CS miracle! Love and marriage not only before meeing in person and seeing the other person's photo, but before even talking!

Love is surely grand!

RE: marrage

Hell, I'd pull your and Laura's toenails out before doing that!!

RE: marrage

Logic is not the dreamer's friend.

RE: marrage

That does happen occasionally, J, but only to freaks of nature, as you know.

RE: marrage

I think that might be key to their having a happy marriage (and perhaps not actually meeting during the marriage might prove helpful as well).

RE: Dilemma of a married person?

My dilemma is that I don't want them to feel bad just because I'm with the most attractive lady on the planet (seems almost greedy somehow).

(I'm now charging for barf bags, by the way. The profit is hard to resist. )

RE: Food Phases

Yes.

RE: Dilemma of a married person?

But how is that humanly possible?

RE: Dilemma of a married person?

But...what if you're like walking down the street and an attractive lady looks at you? Then what??
