  1. How do you handle cheaters?

    SilentMind replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    Is it really your buisness? Are you upset on an ethical level? Or are you upset because you have to work hard for your grades and they're just sliding by? There's always people that are going to...

  2. Where do most of the uninsured live?

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  3. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually, Last I read, health insurance companies only average about 3-4% profit margin. So even if you got rid of all bonuses and incentives completely, you're bill wouldn't drop more then 5%

  4. House passes landmark health care bill

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think a large portion of the contributors to this site are stuck on the train of thought that lack of health care kills people. It doesn't. Cancer kills people. Car accidents kill people. Heart...

  5. Where do most of the uninsured live?

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  6. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you don't want the people running the health care corporations to be making profits, it should really apply all the way down the chain, shouldn't

  7. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Capitalism is evil. When other people do it anyways. CEO's that make buisness their lives for years and years and eventually get into a position where they're single handedly responsible for keeping...

  8. Where do most of the uninsured live?

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Let me preface by saying I applaud your efforts to introduce race as a factor. It always helps liberals to drive the point home. So from the part you quoted, it seems to me like you're claiming the...

  9. House passes landmark health care bill

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is the part that really gets to me. When you sit down and think about it, it's so pathetic...that it actually borders on brilliance. I'm in the same boat, more or less. I mean I eat well enough,...

  10. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Right, we've never wronged jews, hispanics, asians, irish, or anyone else for that matter. America has a history for discrimination? You don't say. If only we were more like the english. That way we...

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Show me a country where the government is willing to provide food/clothing/shelter/alcohol for every single citizen, then i'll show you a majority of the population sitting around sipping

  12. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Finally, we get to the root of the problem. Indians/blacks/jews/hispanics/asians recieve inferior care because of our relations with them in history. Conspiracy theorists

  14. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Remember the days when education was a responsibility, and not a right? Where parents were actually expected to sit down and teach their children the general education rather then have them thrown...

  15. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Its easy to make it all about the checkbook when you're hardly paying anything in taxes, isn't it? So really....you're expecting other people to assume the burden of your morality. But I don't know...

  16. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can only hope your critical thinking is a little more active in your capacities as a nurse then you've demonstrated your arguments here. So in order to debate my claim that being 40% more likely to...

  17. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Stop twisting words. Every person on this board, every citizen in this country, and any right-minded inhabitant of the earth supports access to quality medical care. Of course, that doesn't...

  20. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Democrats are already shaky about voting for this thing. Time is a pretty integral aspect of getting it passed. Loyalties are fickle, and if the issue doesn't get resolved this year, there's going to...

  21. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A fillibuster is a strategy used by the OPPOSITION. Its where a member of the house can stand up and talk indefinitely about the topic, never letting it go to vote. The only way to silence him is by...

  22. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is all insurance bad? No. Don't be silly. Is it bad when it's not in my favor? Absolutely, in fact I'm pretty sure thats the word for word definition of bad. Private insurance companies exist today,...

  23. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The cop-out is that its easier to be a victim of the system, to be oppressed and kept down,and to believe that theres no correlation between hard work and financial rewards. It's a dangerous...

  24. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As Chris Rock so affectionately put it "Insurance should be called in case sh*t happens. If it doesnt happen, do I get my money back?" You're saying the young/healthy should be forced to pay for...

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The impoverished are truly fortunate to have you, as you obviously know whats best for them more then you do. They're ignorant and brainwashed, but you've seen the light. And as for rising up....I've...
