    It's not free, it's funded through threats of violence - kidnapping or murder, otherwise known as

    Second, healthcare is a service that people want and are willing to pay for.
    Which is the better solution:
     
    1. private service in the context of competition, which makes it cheaper and of higher quality for the whole society
     
    or
     
    2. monopolized government service with huge bureaucratic overhead, inefficiency and corruption?
     
    Without the banditry of taxation everyone would be able to afford a higher quality healthcare.

    I knew it had terrible socialist "free" (funded by threats of violence through taxation) healthcare, thus effectively government hijacking and monopolizing a valuable service, but the latest examples are really jaw-dropping.

    filipcro got a reaction from CreativeTHC in Linus' consistent failure   
    Do they have a rule to never talk about the noise output or noise cancellation of any of the products??
    They fail to mention such properties even with cases, which is one of the main features people look for when selecting cases!
    And they don't even mention it!
    Ever! With any case!
     
    I'm kinda sick of this consistent omission already.

    I actually have a very good education in history but what you said reminds me of this-

    Another thing, the validity of any theory is based not only on its explanatory power but also on its predictability power. He made these predictions about the Obama administration when he got elected the first time, so 6 years ago-

     
    and it's like he uploaded the video yesterday and just counted everything that happened in the last 6 years.

    Sigh, Best Buy doesn't exist in my country, I thought if I put a dash between the two words and not capitalize the second word people wouldn't be confused but too much mental acuity needed for that I guess...

    So I watched the latest WAN show and I just cringed at the "homo" and "full homo" phrases.
    It's like you view gays as subhuman and being gay is only worthy of ridicule. Do you have no capability to put yourself in other people's shoes at all?
    You've really got a primitive Russian mentality going on here.

    filipcro got a reaction from lill-pumba in Why prayer is absurd   
    -while the main purpose of prayer may be to help others, it never demonstrably does that. All studies showed that prayers benefit only those believers who say or hear them, in a very trivial sense that it gives them temporary comfort.

    -it creates an illusion(often dangerous) to think we have some control over a situation that may be out of our hands. It’s the last resort of people who have run out of ideas, and the first resort of people who never bothered to think about how they could actually fix the problem at hand.

    -it lulls believers into a false sense of accomplishment. We cannot solve our problems – much less the world’s – through prayer. We often see people with good intentions praying for victims in the wake of a tragedy, but prayer is useless without action, and those actions make the prayers irrelevant.

    -prayer is illogical, even in internally religious terms. If God has a plan, why try to thwart it? If God can be swayed by prayers, what kind of God would allow the horrors we see in the world? And if two devout believers pray for different things, how does God choose the winner?

    -if prayer worked, we would live in a constant state of chaos, any scientific and statistic model we take for granted for governing our societies and infrastructure would be completely inconceivable

    You most definitely should question it because:
     
    1.every religion is just an organized superstition, it has no basis in fact, reason, or evidence, its only basis is childhood indotrination, if you lived somewhere else you would believe in a completely different superstition because your parents and environment would make it so, this is called tradition.
     
    2.every religion is incoherent internally contradictory nonsense produced by ancient ignoramuses who tried to explain the world around them. Basically if something is ancient it means it's more magical, and obviously impossible events are more plausible because...you know, it's ancienty.
     
    Try reading these books:
     
    1.God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist, V.Stenger(physicist)
     
    2.Religion Explained, P.Boyer(cognitive anthropologist)
     
    3.Why We Believe in God(s): A Concise Guide to the Science of Faith, A.Thomson(psychiatrist)
     
    4.The Christian Delusion: Why Faith Fails, Loftus, Barker(ex life time priests)
     
     
    You can start with the 4th one, since christian superstition is closest to you.
    This is your biggest problem, not homophobia, you have to undo the damage your parents did first.
