    VERY interesting read. Al Jazeera received a leak of 1.600 documents regarding the peace negociations between Palestina, Israel and various other agents (UN and US mainly) throughout the whole decade. It shows how flexible and concessive have the Palestinian Authorities been several times, and how stupidly have the Israelian fucked up the negociations. A real must-read for everyone who's even slightly interested in the Middle East confrontation.
  2. Obamacare has suffered some major blows in the last 24.
  3. I'd be willing to bet 50 bucks that when Obamacare is gone, you guys are gonna bitch for a week about how dumb Americans are.
  4. No need to place a debt, we all know that will happen

    Its a shame, but it gives 'great' reality tv here. Poor USA families who's lives are ruined because of medical debts. Thousands of people watching, guaranteed

    But then of coure American's Extreme Home Makeover will pay everyones debts



  5. With a few exception on the Discovery Channel, and national Geographic, I hate reality T.V.
  6. Me too, but my sister watches it all.

    Anyway, I agree that the government cant force you to buy you products (in theory).

    But why accept paying taxes then? The terrible fact is that lots of people need to be protected against them selves. Health insurance is a basic need. People without one are gambling with their lifes. You pay taxes for better highways, why not for health care for everyone?

    I know we will never agree on it anyway, but thats my point of view. I respect yours! But you tend to be a little bit too agressive defending your points sometimes
  7. You can only make someone buy something if its for public safety. If they wanted to make it a tax, they should have just made it a tax.
  8. Well the difference is only the terminology.

    There is no much sense in discussing this further, we both know that


  9. Europe won't really care, we'll just make sure not to travel to USA because if we do and if we break a leg on your streets, we'll be paying for it for next few years.

    BTW military stood on the side of the protesters in Egypt. And of course, Israel is shitting it's pants because of it.
  10. Why?

    Most insurances here cover for injuries in foreign countries In most cases the only sucker is that you have to pay it yourself first, then declare the costs by your insurance company

    Israel and I believe the West as well are shitting their pants because even though the dictators in Arab countries did not care much about things like human rights, they managed to keep fundamentalists aside.
