It may be that one day the U.S. will evolve/choose a similar system - but it won't be done in one fell swoop in one election.

I've said that here before.

Remember when you made the crack about wearing your Viking Helmet when you mow the lawn?

They are more civilized than us.

And they do things better than us.

But we can learn from them.

But it doesn't help when you have a bunch of ignorant knuckle walkers whom, due to cheap tricks like Gerrymandering, are able to wield far more political power than their numbers warrant, and are Hell bent on not only stopping progress, but also undoing all the positive progress we have made in the past 100 years or so.

The fastest way to get something done is make it seem like the other guy's idea.

The Right lies about everything.

Everything.

Me, too. Considering the source of these vids, I'm amazed that anyone doesn't take them with huge chunk o'salt. This organization and their operatives who are demonstrably linked to O'Keefe and his merry band of pranksters.

My advice to Planned Parenthood is TANSTAAFL and keep in mind that there is a hardcore bunch of rabid anti-choice trolls out there looking to do you and us harm.

All that aside, this country is too large and too diverse to be managed effectively with a Euro style system - advocates of such a system would be better served to make their case State by State. Those efforts have already met with some success.
Bullshit on a stick.

First of all...too large geographically or too large in population? Because if you're saying there are too many people you're just flat out wrong. US population is 300 million. EU population is 500 million. And in fact...one of the primary problems with this country is the organization. Our educational system is fucked because it's controlled by the States and the municipalities within them. Our asses are being kicked by countries who have centralized educational systems where all children get the same quality of education no matter which part of that country they live in. The same amount of money is spent on poor kids as is spent on rich kids. The teacher quality is comparable throughout these countries. The autonomy of the States is killing this country.

Too large geographically? That's just stupid. What difference does that make?


This country is too diverse? It's no more diverse than Spain or France, and only slightly more diverse than the rest of Western Europe. It's considerably less diverse than Canada. Says a recent Pew study.



Your argument is worthless.

Why would I watch the full length? I'm not changeling the edited version for what it is, gruesome and evil.

So tell me what is your opinion Bob, do you support the harvest of so-called “intact specimens,” or organs, for sale?
