  1. Well if the majority doesnt want it, it will be out next year.

  3. You'll love this bit about Obamacare then. In order for a state to opt out of this, they [the state] have to provide a plan that has the same coverage and the same cost. I would imagine having to force a state to have to adopt a federal plan of some sort could only be avoiding by calling it a tax. Somebody please tell me I'm wrong though, because if the Supreme Court missed this, it's a huge miss.

    By the way which part of my post are you referring to?

  4. You know something, Aaron? You're as boring with your you-commies-will-burn-in-hell shit as Yogi with his anti-yankee/NATO propaganda, but he at least participates in other sections of our website and our forums. You just come over and over to the Politics thread, only to fight people and spread your speeech. This is a U2 website with some off-topic things like this thread, but U2start is not a political forum. If you want a dedicated politics forum, register over at US Message Board, or maybe take a look around Political Forum (worldwide forum, not only US-related) and Debate Politics; I really think those are the websites you're actually looking for.

    I have *nothing* against right-wingers who reasonably argument their positions; my best friend leans very much towards right wing, and we're best friends since 21 years ago. It's just an example tos how you that I respect opinions, whether I share them or not, and I don't have anything personal against those who don't share my opinions (something you can't afford to say, by the way). But man, I *do* have something against those who just repeat their arguments over and over, and automatically dismiss and/or insult anyone who opposes them with true thoughts and arguments.

    I'm done with you, seriously. But lemme tell ya: one more "piss off", "fuck off", "you suck", "I don't give a damn about you" or any of other equivalent bullshit towards any of our truly appreciated and useful members, and you will be the one who's done with U2start.


    Did I explain myself clearly enough?
  5. Moving on to the EU...can someone explain to me why they decided to ban sunscreen over SPF 50?

  6. Where did you hear it? I guess the news you heard/read should carry some extra information and not just the title...

    Anyway, SPFs above 50 are virtually innefective and marking a sunscreen as anything above that might mislead people to think they're more protected when they're not, and therefore maybe taking risks when they shouldn't.
  7. I haven't heard anything about it, and when I search the internet I only find information about... ehm... the United States thinking of forbiding them For example: http://www.myhealthbeijing.com/2011/06/is-your-sunscreen-spf-50-dont-waste-your-money/ (2011 article speaking of a probable 2012 ban). This article gives figures that support my previous post: SPF 2 blocks 50% // SPF 15 blocks 93% // SPF 30 blocks 97% // SPF 50 blocks 98% // SPF 70 blocks 98.6% // SPF 90 blocks 98.9%...

    And this is an online petition to, erm, United States Food&Drug Administration, to ask for a ban of those high SFP sunscreens: http://forcechange.com/21405/ban-misleadingly-branded-high-spf-sunscreens/ ... "sunscreens with an SPF above 50 don’t actually offer any additional protection, despite the higher number on their label. People who wear high-SPF sunscreens are therefore deluded into thinking they can stay out in the sun for longer without reapplying sun protection–a delusion that leads to irreversible skin damage.".


    So, there you are.
  9. Iran would be very stupid to close the strait.
  10. So far Iran perfectly knows what they can get away with. The dude might be mad, but he is not stupid.
  11. Yeah, they must realize they'd lose an all out war. They would probably be able to inflict some serious damage though.

  12. I just think that both of them are trying out limits of the other one.

    BTW, interesting news, but still no details:

    http://www.rt.com/news/police-raid-sarkozy-home-324/
    Police officers have carried out a number of raids in Paris - one on the villa Sarkozy shares with his wife Carla Bruni and another on the law offices of the former president's attorneys.
