    I completely agree. I feel the need to have the option out there, everyone should have access to an insurance plan, both public and private. If the public plan is written solidly, with real benefits to the American people, it will force the private companies to rethink their cost structures...

    You stated this: That's a supposition. You've already determined, based on this current plan, what their ultimate agenda in passing this legislation is. What I wanted you to do is take all of that out of the picture and tell me why you think it is bad to give private healthcare, who...

    No, wrong answer. I didn't ask why national healthcare (single-payer) was a bad idea. I asked why offering a public option to choose IN ADDITION TO allowing us to choose private healthcare was a bad idea. Not where you believed it might lead us to in the future. The future is undecided, it's...

    Good god, I'm not an Obama lover, but I'm dying to know something. So let's set aside everything else right now. Ignore anything that has been posted previous to this. Answer me this one question. I'll probably follow up with another one. Why do you think it is a bad idea that the American...

    In the right frame of mind, though, they are highly entertaining, aren't they? :D

    How is this not a personal attack towards her? It's not a point at all, it's calling her out as blame number 1 for the wrong guy (according to you) being in the White House.

    No one should elevate a single person or political party above their own ability to choose what's best for them or their family. That's part of the problem with American politics today, people are too eager to follow their party's lines and do little to no research into the facts of the issue...

    Hey, Gep, maybe you can say who your post is directed to? I know who it is directed to, but only after I went back and read through some things first. :)

    I don't have a problem with parents being involved with their kids and making decisions based on what they watch or listen to based on FACTS. I applaud you for doing so. What scares me are the parents (or even non-parents) who say he is brainwashing our children to become socialists through...

    Both presidents believe your children should stay in school and study, and work hard to get a good education. I can see how Obama's belief differs in yours, yet G.W's is just fine. :nah:

    The ignorance in this thread is palpable. He is not going to convert your children to socialism. He's not going to tell them to run home to mommy and daddy and tell them they need healthcare reform. He's not going to tell your children it's time to pull the plug on grandma. He's not even...

    Inform Tobacco Smokers

    I think there's more nitrosamines found in a cooked hot dog then there is in the contents of e-liquid, but since it's 'there', you can't very well say it's not. Determining the language you use to describe these to others is very important, especially if you find yourself talking to someone who...

    Inform Tobacco Smokers

    Nicotine is not a carcinogen, but if the nicotine is extracted from tobacco, it does contain trace amounts of tobacco-specific nitrosamines, and these are considered carsinogenic. Also, it is not 'water vapor' in the classic sense. The cloud that is produced is water vapor that is bonded to...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Individuals can, and should, respond and keep their comments to facts presented in the case. That will be the only way our voices will be heard in this particular matter. And if the ECA were a consumer group, or didn't have a litigation member on their board, they should absolutely file. But...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    I'd love to have the ECA respond, but sadly, they can't file an amici curiae as their board chair is a party to the lawsuit.

    Bad Picture, but fairly accurate article

    While there is no doubt that studies should be done to determine the effective health concerns of vapers and those around them also exposed to the vapor of our PVs, to allow people to compare second hand smoke and PV vapor as being equal is allowing them to be either dishonest or completely...

    Paypal and ASH is on the hunt...

    Did you even bother to read the posts? The person admitted to entering single line posts to boost their post count specifically to link to their blog, and a majority of those posts were offtopic. It's not the post count that bothers me. It's what they did to boost it that bothers me, and...

    If you spent 3 months gathering the info, chances are you would have participated in more discussions in this forum, got your post count beyond 15 to post a URL, then you could have started a new thread to post this information into. Instead, we have numerous posts in this thread that could...

    Dr. Whelan Speaks Out - Washington Times

    So, what kind of freak experiments are you working on right now? And it's your opinion that The Daily Show writers would side for the Federal Government, Big Tobacco, and Big Pharma? Do you even watch the show? Ivisi

    extremely disappointed

    I had the same issue, but not at first. Mine was the charger. The negative post on the charger, the one that applies pressure to the battery to push it into the positive post, would eventually sink back farther towards the bottom of the charger. This would keep the positive post from making...
