Topic: What does Crystalline fructose do to you?

[VANGUARD]

After I posted it, I feared that maybe I am stepping into a land mine.
It's not really my intention. It just upsets me because now there is something that they demand from us, or we get penalized. That's really bad. This isn't a "no smoking here" or "we ban guns there", it's "get our healthcare, or we penalize you."
It's our choice. It should be.
But, ah, why get into this?

Is it just me, or what? It seems like everything I bring up on here, turns into a risky topic. I stopped going to a Linux forum because I got sick of the b.s. that was going on there, mostly about a rule you can't bring up. II suppose what upsetted me was that the only answer I could give was something that broke one of their rules.
Not only did they PM me saying "You do that again, and it's time out", but afterwards, they started to delete every post of mine that broke that rule. Just flat out delete it. And when I confronted them in the topic, they said something like "we don't wish to offend others" and "what you believe is true, may be a lie or false to the readers." and I replied, "well, if they read it has being false, why be offended? why delete my post?"

Sorry, I'm tired, and I should go to bed.
This topic was primarily about Crystalline Fructose. I think it's been answered, or enough. Whether some react to it or all, it certainly did something to me. At least I believe so.

I thank all for their advice, two cents, etc..

I thought you just had to have SOME form of healthcare, not necessarily the federal plan?

[-<WillyP>-]

The plan has to meet gubmint approval. So that means everyone has to pay for birth control, abortions, etc...

But I told myself I wouldn't get involved in this debate.  No matter how tempting it is.

My solution to this sort of thing on the web is to go into a state of denial, and pretend nothing of the such is actually taking place.

Speaking of...what debate do you speak of? I don't see any debate...

I might through my temp agency, but it was my temp agency that sent the letter.

I mentioned Obamacare and how bad it is.

Kaiaa wishes he could do that.
Just like the stuff this thread is actually about, it's not so simple.  You talk about being able to make a choice whether or not to have health care, Vanguard, but less fortunate people get that choice made for them because they only have the option of no health care.  If it had gone the way your government wanted they wouldn't need to give you that tax, but someone powerful has got it set in their head that not having money for whatever reason means you don't deserve even basic health care.  There's a reason there's still a 3 year difference in the average life expectancy between Canada and the States.  I shouldn't have to tell you which one is higher.

And you of all people, Vanguard, should understand that a lot of the time, not having money isn't your fault.

I will not say anything more.  I am blacklisting this thread.  Or something.

You are confusing health care with health insurance. In the US, no one is denied health care, no matter how poor they are, no matter if they have insurance or not.

I'm not always the most knowledgeable in this sort of stuff. I used to watch the news, but I don't have cable any more. Any time I watched the news, something was depressing. My old friend would always be around, talking about all the stuff that was going to happen to us.

I can get into any sort of topics. Some things I do see has being unsettling and offensive, but I typically ignore it. One site is imgur.com. I am sick of that site, because they are very pro "something". I'll leave it as that.

What also offends me is from that one Linux site, when I talked about something, and they removed my post.

I think this is why forums are hard for me to be on at times. I'm just some guy that loves to talk about something or someone, and it's at times, against the rules on here. I'm not here to try to preach or convert people. I was merely making a statement there, and it got removed.
While on the other hand, other people seemed to have the floor.

What am I doing? It's planetdescent. It's topics getting derailed 

It's all good here. I don't mind us talking about this stuff.

Where is TopGun and his fresh tasty padlock when you need him?

Is this something I can lock?

[Matthew]

No, It has to be TG. For old times sake.

[VANGUARD]

I see an option that I can, but I can certainly allow him to, for old times sake. Once again, a topic I created, is being locked.

............yipee.......

How about this... pay the "fee" once per year, and then when something pops up, get insurance! It's not like they can't deny you because of pre-existing conditions! MAJOR flaws with this healthcare law. Everyone's gonna do that anyways until it fails.

Especially the young people who are supposed to be subsidizing this whole mess.

What does the fructose say!
