Yeah… well that’s what happens when the State intervenes in the free market, whether that be the “Affordable” Care Act, or the airline industry, or the automotive industry, corn subsidies, and the list goes on. They all have “unintended” consequences. And to this point in particular, it...

You’re describing the wealthiest most powerful nation on earth and using it as the excuse for why it can’t do what even Vietnam and Slovenia do. Being the richest country is an argument for the po...

The USA is 37 trillion dollars in debt and doesn't even have enough income to pay the interest on that debt causing it to compound. The USA is broke. The USA is Israel's bitch and China's dumping ground because the USA is bankrupt.

Social services have collapsed under the weight of rampant corruption. Corporations that pay no tax are robbing the country blind because of corrupt politicians. The working class can no longer afford housing or health care and are struggling to put food on the table while working three jobs.

The USA is suffering from late stage capitalism collapse. Those at the top are stripping everything they can out of the economy and moving their wealth to off shore tax havens while the peasants are fighting over the scraps.

The USA isn't the wealthiest country on the planet but the handful of billionaires that robbed the country blind are. The USA is the most indebted country on the planet.

I find it even more alarming that people EXPECT the State to provide them with healthcare, let alone trust them with it. At a minimum, one of the State’s only goals is to protect (not give) our rights… healthcare is not a right. It boggles the mind to see the same folks that believe in self-sov...

Which creationist belief? There's a few. There's The Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Or the Cosmic Egg one. And then there's the belief that aliens called Thetans created the universe.

Or the one one where the world was created from the body of the frost giant Ymir. Or the lazy myth where the universe was created by some old white guy. Like, really, 6 days and then a day off. Must have been a union guy.

The ancient Greeks believed Atum created the world by emerging from Nu. Eww. Rangi (Sky Father) and Papa (Earth Mother) were separated by their children to allow light and life into the world according to the Maori.

So, first you'll have to define which creationist myth is the correct one.

I don’t know if that even matters. But I’m open to reasons why it may. Regardless of the Creator’s label or name, I think each specie was brought into rudimentary form by intelligence, then was forged into their current state over thousands or millions of years of exposure to various environme...
