Repping 305,954,786 and uhhhhh.....

I will be attending in december the anime Con Alt Delete. If anyone is going I would like to hang out with them and catch a soda and talk a bit if possible. The link is listed below. http://conaltdelete.com

I just hate Microsoft, every version of Windows is somehow more annoying than the last. I didn't think it could get worse, then they came out with Windows 8! I prefer Linux and never have to worry about viruses and can customize everything any way I want. So yeah, I prefer PlayStation over xbox.

I think Japan needs to be able to defend itself. It shouldn't rely on the US for protection. So that would necessarily mean that Japan would have to have more aircraft, tanks, ships, etc. Unfortunately, they're banking on the F-35, rather than something else, like the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet or F-15SE Silent Eagle. The F-35 is a mess.

Maverick - The Heritage Foundation floated the idea as part of its job as a think tank. It was ultimately shot down. Furthermore, what Mitt Romney employed in Massachusetts affected about 8% of the /Massachusetts/ population. It also cost a lot less. To say they are the same thing as Obamacare is like saying a tree and a sheet of paper are the same thing. Sure, they're made of matter. There's carbon and phosphorous in there. They have a common ancestry. But they aren't the same thing. The corporation isn't /forcing/ its beliefs on anyone. Corporations can't force anyone to do anything. They set out rules and regulations. Employees follow or don't. If the employee follows rules and regulations, a certain series of protocols are followed. If an employee doesn't follow rules and regulations, a different series of protocols are followed. As the government isn't establishing a religion, merely upholding rights of a religion, the First amendment isn't affected at all. The Ninth isn't at play at all here. Because not giving something material to someone else isn't infringing on their rights. Denying your rights would be something to the effect of unlawful detainment. The Bill of Rights is essentially things the Government can't do. In the Hobby Lobby case, the Government is saying "The Government can't force people, who have religious opinions, to buy things that go against their religious beliefs." Xueli - I pay for medical treatments that my health insurance doesn't. I don't see the problem here. If they're expensive, then I'll pay in installments. While you do have a point about there being medication or procedures being too expensive for some people to pay for, you're not addressing the root cause. But in a world where resources are finite, we have to make priorities. The stated goal behind Obamacare was to make healthcare affordable - Affordable Care Act" anyone? But what ended up happening was the Government dogmatically declaring that Health Insurance companies have to cover people regardless of condition and that children up to the age of 26 are under their parents coverage. How does that address the costs? Yeah, forcing Insurance companies to do those things does cover more people. But it also makes the costs higher. This is treating the symptoms, not the problem. But the logic of "if companies don't provide insurance, they're denying healthcare rights" is entirely wrong. Eating affects your health too. If someone is hungry and I have the means of feeding you, but I choose not to. You can think I'm being mean spirited, you can think I'm being a jerk. But that's not denying rights. However, if someone breaks into my house and takes my food, that IS denying rights. My rights. Maverick - You said Religion shouldn't trump someone's rights. You are correct. Fortunately, this is not the case. Employees of Hobby Lobby are not prohibited from any action not otherwise banned by law. Hobby Lobby's only role in this is that they aren't paying for or endorsing all of those actions.

@KitsuneKouta You sir, just changed my life. *Humbly bows* It shall now another mission in my life: to obtain a pistol sword!

^ We seem to have some stuff in common. I'm not sure if being left is considered backstabbed but I have been left by all of my so called friends despite the good I've done for them. Like you my sister is the only person I really strongly associate with, sure we don't always agree on everything,or get on each other's nerves occasionally, but hey isn't like that for everyone? Nonetheless I don't believe in friendship anymore after being left all the time.

That was certainly my favourite part, besides seeing shadow's mangled corpse stuffed into a toilet, but that wasn't even scary, just funny.
