Among the half-truths and sad tales in Obama's speech last night was nestled this little story of a woman who says the insurance company done her wrong. "...More and more Americans pay their premiums, only to discover that...

katran I'm saying that Obama wants there to BE NO APPLICATION! The fact that she would have had to lie at all, if she did lie, or the fact that she might have had to lie to get care or that she thought she had to lie to get care, OR the fact that she omitted...

katran That's not what I perceive the point to be. The point is that you are finding fault with the fact that Obama did not get his story straight when really EITHER version of the story upsets me. Whether the woman had one pimple or multiple sclerosis, the fact that...

katran So, your argument is that because she did not tell the insurance company she had a heart condition, they have the right to deny her coverage? Better question, if she had originally told about the heart condition, would the insurance company have had the...

Supporters of mandatory medical insurance laws like to cite car insurance laws to back their points. However, the analogy doesn't really work. Why? Because there are no laws requiring everyone to have car insurance. Yes, there...

katran It's actually the exact same thing in my mind. You are forced to buy car insurance if you ever drive, even though the vast majority of people probably NEVER make a claim on their insurance. If you are alive, there is a possibility you will need medical...

That is the big question of the day in Wisconsin politics. Apparently a lot of states allow parents to buy alcohol for their kids. The idea is for parents to have the chance to teach kids "responsible drinking". I don't know...

katran Well, I will say that I am not 21 yet, but my mom has been letting me drink with her and at family events or neighborhood parties for a couple years now. I don't think there is anything wrong with letting parents buy alcohol for their children's consumption...

katran You know what REALLY makes me mad? The fact that the arrogant Americans who are posting in this discussion seem to think that they know more about Britain than Britain does. Geez Louise. Is there no end to the stupidity of people? Is there no length they won't...

This question primarily must coincide with the fact that religious texts have the tendency to be interpreted by different people in different ways. If one is expected to properly follow some all powerful being, call him God, and...

katran That is exactly my point. EVERYTHING is subjective. You are treating it like religion is the only thing that is open to interpretation, so therefore it is not worthy of being believed. That is simply not true. There is disagreement and different...

katran Well, the problem with your question is that I don't think that God INTENDED religion to be open to interpretation. Since I am a Christian, I will use the Christian example. The Bible, since it was written a long, long time ago and much of it is written kind...

At the North American Summit,Obama said that health care overhaul and financial regulation will be tackled first. Is he really this stupid or is it an act?We don't need immigration reform.We need to enforce our immigration laws...

katran I think immigration reform absolutely HAS to come before health care reform. How can we set up a new health care system that will be less taxing on our economy when we have millions of people here that won't be paying for the system and yet will b benefiting...

Did you receive your minimal wage increase that the Federal government gave you? Chances are you did not because you make more than the minimal wage. Why, because you labor is worth more than $7.25. Why do we have minimal wage...

katran Gewcew, if that logic was right than there would be no one working in restaurants or fast food restaurants at all, because other jobs pay more so why would they not just all leave and go work somewhere that pays more? I mean, think about it. According to your...

People say that minimum wage doesn't cause any real problems for employers. In their minds, somehow increasing the price of unskilled labor, without increasing productivity, somehow doesn't make a difference in the bottom...

katran Geez Louise. This discussion is full of more hogwash than a pigpen. Let me ask you this, since you seem to be so anti-minimum wage. If there was no minimum wage and business owners paid employees based on what they thought those employees deserved, do you...

katran Well, has it occurred to you that the people who disagree with everything he does....don't LIKE the things he's doing? I mean, maybe some people are disagreeing just because he is of the opposite party, but he has done some questionable things. Also, I think...

katran I for one cannot understand why people get so uptight and upset when people criticize the president/government. I think it is a sign of a good government that people are able to criticize their leader and go over everything he/she says with a fine-toothed...

katran Do you really think we should support the president JUST BECAUSE he is the president? Did you support everything that President Bush did, because the same things could be said about him. He was handed a situation where right after he got into office we were...
