The Flounder Thread

If studios would make content available the way consumers want to consume it, then maybe piracy wouldn't be such a big problem."

Those pirates wouldn't have bought those movies anyhow, because Obamacare is taking money out of the pockets of hard working Americans. What those people are going to do is pirate those movies, show them to their kids and then spend the money they would have spent in seeing or buying the movie on toys based on the movie for their kids. As you know, those toys are made in China.

We want to keep China happy, because China owns most of our debt. If they called it in, our economy would be ruined if we tried to pay it. Because of this, it is more important to keep China happy than it is to line the pockets of those elite, Left Coast liberals. Now, if China called in that debt, we might decide to ignore them, knowing it would ruin our economy. There would be war. Those liberals don't own any guns. China has plenty of guns and a lot more people to use them. because guns don't kill people, people kill people. China has more people than anybody else.

That is why the file sharing lawsuits underscore and outline why it is our solemn duty to uphold the Second Amendment and buy guns.

If piracy is outlawed, only outlaws will be pirates

If fire fighters fight fire,

and crime fighters fight crime,

what do freedom fighters fight?

Driving in parkways and parking in driveways. .. . . . . .Hummmmm

Changes religions, still can't eat bacon...

Even Jesus has first world problems.

I asked a Jewish dude who lived in Israel if he would eat bacon to prevent starving to death. He asked me why he would wait til he was starving to eat delicious bacon. Mind=blown.

Why You Should Never Listen to Fox News

• Couple 1: Business owner claims "Obamacare" is driving up his costs and cut their hours

Only has 4 employees, the ACA doesn't effect business of this size, except to notify them of the existence of the exchanges

• Couple 2: Claims new ACA policy would cost her $20,000 a year , up from $13,000

Never checked out the exchanges, says she might not pretty much because she opposes it on principle. from the author

Assuming they don’t smoke and have a household income too high to be eligible for subsidies, I found that they would be able to get a plan for around $7,600, which would include coverage for their uninsured daughter. This would be about a 60 percent reduction from what they would have to pay on the pre-Obamacare market.

• Couple 3: Says his insurance agent said new ACA-compliant policy would cost 50-75% more. Never checked out the exchanges, and refuse to.

When I spoke to Robbie, he said he and Tina have been paying a little over $800 a month for their plan, about $10,000 a year. And the ACA-compliant policy that will cost 50-75 percent more? They said this information was related to them by their insurance agent. Had they shopped on the exchange yet, I asked? No, Tina said, nor would they. They oppose Obamacare and want nothing to do with it. Fair enough, but they should know that I found a plan for them for, at most, $3,700 a year, 63 percent less than their current bill. It might cover things that they don’t need, but so does every insurance policy.

Is this just math you do as a republican to make yourself feel better?

Most of this thread looks like an emerging religion.

China owns 8% of our debt ($1.2 trillion). Our own social security trust fund owns $3 trillion.
