holy fuck college is awesome :lol:

holy fucking jesus

i enjoyed that. i really wish i'd learned to play piano, my brother did when he was younger and i'm jealous. can't imagine playing that and singing, damn. i've been really down with tool lately.

probly not tryin to get my dad's saab right now and thanks for the info dudes.. it does seem relatively easy but it seems really useful and foundational to lots of stuff. definitely considering it...

did you find it worthwhile/interesting? i'm still undeclared and i've really enjoyed the two classes i've taken so far and done really well, i've been seriously considering declaring but i'm not quite sure yet.

are there any econ majors on VS?

indeed. i'm gonna be paying for all the bullshit that's gone on in this country the last few years. i simply have a problem calling every uninsured american lazy and unwilling to help their own situation. that's complete BS and the conservative movement does nothing but reinforce this and it's disgusting. trickle down is bullshit, our tax system is bullshit and i am behind anything that will help people to not suffer and die from treatable illness. our previous healthcare system was completely wasteful and profit-driven and it makes no sense to have an industry with an incentive to insure those who will not need medical care. i have no doubt this system will have its errors but it's a step in the right direction. i find it amusing people act like the constitution hasn't been completely shredded prior to this bill.

why use people who play sports and make tons of money as an example? athletes aren't buying politicians to maintain their wealth. they're a tiny portion of the top 1% who don't give a fuck about anyone else.

looks like we're one step closer to joining the other first world countries.

drink everything in any order and you have an ok chance of everything going ok :lol: got a 12er of PBR hmmm time to lay the mackdown

lame ass night in eugene. kite status

i feel no allegiance to the democratic party i just feel we should at least have a public option, my passion for the topic has little to do with the bill itself. so many of the counter arguments are based around the fact that our government is already fucked up and that's not the fault of a different healthcare system. true, right now might not be the right time but there is a difference between that and never. the destruction of the family is a huge problem but if the federal government is going to continue to fund abstinence-only programs etc. and the religious right has anything to say about it nothing's gonna change there either. the most religious states have the highest divorce and abortion rates, that's been proven again and again. religion's not the only problem here but that's a debate for another time. the fact that we're all white males discussing this issue should tell you something. you can call me a hippy or whatever but there are people who continue to get systematically fucked because of people so intent on maintaining this system.

yeah i know that, i don't think the government should be the only ones doing medical research or something. there's a difference between that and providing basic health care to american citizens.

yeah that's pretty fucked up, it's also partly the person's fault for not reading through their bill but whatever. imo, if someone can profit off inefficiencies like those then it's going to happen.
