Not really. If you voted at all you lost. There was no winner of that vote.

Well, it's a good job we have things like "torture" defined in federal law then.

A vote for Vader is a vote for giant starships, Can you really go wrong?

I also want to flaunt the fact that my healthcare is unaffected by this reform.

Now, all of you will have to sink the level of military health care.

Eat it, *****es.

Last I checked military healthcare, especially once you're in veteran status, is pretty horrible.
2010-03-31, 10:25 AM #372
That's generally incorrect but pretty much how it is portrayed. There are some issues with it, of course being provided by the government and all to a large and ever growing population, but certainly not to the level to be considered horrible.

Now Spook may be correct that his health care is currently unaffected because he is on active duty. Once he gets out, though, he may see errosion to his benefits due to the funding to his provider being lowered, depending upon his status and whether we're talking VA cuts or Tricare cuts.

Because i interpret this as a sort of backlash at what Spook said, I shall note that you just concurred with what Spook was saying.

Supposedly (who on earth really knows, with how long this thing is) Tricare is unaffected, as are VA services.

But still, using either can sometimes end up worse than going to the DMV.

Fact of the matter is, Matty, americans DID do nothing. Case in point, Bush was re-elected for a second term.


To be realistic here, I doubt that if Kerry had won things would have been significantly different. Bush's '04 victory was the best thing that has ever happened to the democratic party.

Sure, Medicare is supposedly unaffected to.

Actually, what Spook said was that now they need to sink military health care. In other words, mess it up too.

Hm, he may have left out the word 'to'... which explains why Kroko is taking this differently.

Consider:

That's the way I read it, but maybe it's just me.

Rereading the post, you're absolutely correct. I was the one misinterpreting words, not CoolMatty.

JoS, that's exactly how I originally interpreted it. Glad I wasn't the only one! :)

It must be the fact that we have warped Eurobrains.

Or maybe Spook did accidentally leave it out.

Now I'm curious.

Haha, oh my god, I did leave that out!

It really doesn't make any sense either way without it...

Try having migraines so bad you throw up literally every 10 minutes, for roughly 3 to 4 hours STRAIGHT, not even able to keep medication down since you throw up so fast and so much. Over a period of the years that you've had the condition the acid that's constantly being thrown up from them has actually completely obliterated your lower esophageal muscle allowing food that you eat to constantly travel back up the back of your throat, waking up in the middle of night choking on what you ate for dinner. Not to mention feeling short of breath constantly as well as being woken up from it on a regular basis, to the point where you get maybe 3 hours maximum sleep every few days.


This only I literally throw up as soon as something ends up in my stomach. I can't see and I normally end up passing out. I have always ha bad acid reflux because this has been happening to me since I was about 8 years old.

Basically my strategy as of now is to take enough perscription pain killers to pass out every time I have a migraine so that I can sleep through most of the aura phase (which is for me usually when nausea starts) and as much of the pain phase as I possibly can (which is when I start vomiting uncontrollably with absolutely no relief). The most this has taken was about 72 hours. Works pretty well, I'm sure my liver is happy.
