We're the assholes, and that's why we can't hang out with Fonz when he starts acting like a dick. I don't want stuck. That, and he's a sweaty hairy hot mess. Love you, Fonz. It's even more funny with his new lid... looks like a carbon-fiber tipped pecker on the 'bird.

I'm pretty much sold on Zach's shirt. Lulz

Funny 'cause it was initially her thread anyway. The forum works in mysterious ways.

The REAL wife beaters usually have the telltale sweat + yellow mustard stain on the front too.

He doesn't stay too long though. He's only got time to stop, post, and leave between running from the CHOPPA!

Dude, that turkey was already dead.

I don't think you'll live that long 'cause it'll be an awful long wait.

If you have to ask, you'll never know. Trust me, when you meet him, you'll know its Pauly without introductions.

Looks heavy enough, worse case, you could always throw it at an attacker. Probably a better pistol whip than a man stopper. Nice piece though.

Seriously, my Rep has been peppered by Pauly. Reds and Greens - it's like Christmas. He can't control it, like a kid wrassling a fire hose.

RC and a TL... you have a twin fetish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVqoYvlEZis I can appreciate that.

I can't see pictures (Wherever you're hosting them from must block them when I'm at work). I might be interested in one of the Vendetta jackets.

I don't expect a service to be provided free, but I don't think insurance for the 'privilege' to just to ACCESS the health care system should be for profit. Doctors, nurses, etc - they deserve a fair wage and I think for the most part, they have lucrative careers and deserve what they make. Insurance companies do nothing but add bureaucracy to the channel... which, if that's by and large a non-value added service to the end user anyway, I'd rather have control over with my vote. That's the difference. Got it, you're too lazy to educate yourself. That's another difference. I don't just give opinions, I post links to information and data that back up my rationale and reasoning. Not my problem if you don't take the time to read them. You're just part of the problem because you refuse to be part of the solution. What's the point of having health insurance if you're healthy 24/7? Someone needs to take on the "bad risks" and the private market hasn't figured it out. So, they insure the healthy people - which basically means the rest of us are throwing our money away on nothing. Just wait until your "tough shit" comes back around to bite you in the ass and bankrupts you and your family because your private insurance drops you. But hey, you're Mr. Big "I own my own" Business - I'm sure you're rich enough not to worry about it. Funny because the definition of fiduciary directly from dictionary.com mentions the PUBLIC sector: fi⋅du⋅ci⋅ar⋅y –noun 1. Law. a person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another. –adjective 2. Law. of or pertaining to the relation between a fiduciary and his or her principal: a fiduciary capacity; a fiduciary duty. 3. of, based on, or in the nature of trust and confidence, as in public affairs: a fiduciary obligation of government employees. 4. depending on public confidence for value or currency, as fiat money. So, I'd say you're wrong, based on definitions 3 and 4. WTG. That's my point. It's more economical for everyone. Wow, proved my point again. Private can't compete. How high do you think stamps could go before someone in the private sector steps in? I don't really want to pay $1.79 to mail a letter (if I ever did). Ok, true. But, I'm not really looking to pad the pockets of my stock broker too when I change jobs and have to switch insurance plans. That's the issue with ALL insurance, you're paying for a service you hope to NEVER use. So, how do I know whether or not I want to patronize the business if I've never had to experience their service for repairing a broken bone, or stitching up a wound, or whatever? And I guarantee the collective constituency has a lot more political sway than the customers of each insurance plan to the CEOs. Again, you're the delusional one if you think that CEO is looking out for your health over your wallet. The numbers I used were facetious, but once again you proved my point. You'd take the cheaper alternative. What if it's the gov't sponsored plan? Apparently you're not one to back your own principles because you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is. If service is THAT bad, private companies will compete. If you're so 'market forces' driven, then the market will decide that $30/mo for shitty health care isn't worth it and they'll pay the $70/mo for better health care. If you want the Cadillac of health care because you think it's worth it - fine. If you want the Kia of health care - fine. Cadillac and Kia still coexist, and just because there's a cheaper alternative, EVERYONE isn't buying Kias. By your logic, Kia will be the only brand left in a few years. So, you're talking in circles... either you believe in the 'market' or not. If health insurance through the gov't is SOOOO shitty, no one will use it and it'll be abandoned. You're wrong. Flat. Out. Wrong. The gov't HAS to compete. You can ship boxes through, USPS, UPS, DHL, or FedEx... people still use the $4.95 flat rate box, so apparently there is still value-add for the customer to use that service. If the health INSURANCE process through the gov't is sooo shitty, people will abandon it in droves and go back to private insurance. Or, if the gov't plan is $30/mo and the next costly alternative is $70/mo - people will vote with their money and CHOICE on if they think they're getting 2x the value over their $30/mo plan. Funny thing is... if you see the same doctor in each plan, then I don't see what the value is in the $70/mo plan. Econ 101. We're not talking about gov't health CARE, we're talking gov't health INSURANCE.

Commitment issues... I better lay low on this one

Bend over?

Sweet, my girlfriend has a $3 costume too. I helped her pick it out. It'd be less, but they make you buy the whole roll.

I want to see the wicked cool scar. It'll help your street cred.

Why should health care be FOR profit? Even if your skewed perspective is accurate against reality, bottom of the barrel coverage is better than NO coverage. Since you continually ignore the facts and issues based on your own personal opinions... I'll just point you to other posts I've made on it because there's no sense wasting my breath on it twice. http://www.ohio-riders.com/showpost.php?p=256271&postcount=45 http://www.ohio-riders.com/showpost.php?p=256346&postcount=53 My point is that the private sector CANNOT compete with those segments, so they quit. That's why the lobby is so hard to keep the current UNSUSTAINABLE SYSTEM in place. If the gov't steps in, they're worried they can't compete. If private insurance was the greatest, why don't more VAs or seniors pick it up? Yea, because private insurance doesn't do the EXACT SAME F*(KING THING!? Whoa, totally convincing argument, a postal service comparison - I am SOLD!!! Funny, because I don't see UPS delivering first class mail and companies sending letters via UPS in a cost effective manner... I still get most of my bills via the Postal Service, I dunno wtf you're living. And the gov't answers to no one, apparently? I vote - so they do have to answer to me. I can't vote out the CEO of a company that does a shitty job running my insurance plan - nor can I prevent that insurance plan from dropping me for no reason at all, after years of premiums. If you're pro-racketeering that's on you, but that's a douchebag stance. Then don't take the alternative, Jesus! It's not rocket surgery (to quote Duane's sign). If you want your damn private insurance for $70/mo - keep it! If you don't want to be assimilated like the rest of us with the choice of the $30/mo plan... then so be it. Don't CHOOSE it. What's it hurting you? You have your PRIVATE choice - so go suck on that tit instead of the gov't one. That's what the lobby is afraid of, which why should they? If the gov't is SOO BAD and SOO INEFFICIENT, then private insurance will have no issues competing in the market. http://www.ohio-riders.com/showpost.php?p=256211&postcount=42

lulz

Looks like Magley's babyface little brother from another mother. If something does coincidentally happen to that prick... I didn't hear or see anything.

I've explained it numerous times, but your cataracts must have been blurring your vision. The gov't runs Medicare, correct? The gov't runs the VA health care, correct? Who is predominantly on Medicare? Seniors. Why? Because the vast majority are fixed income and they can't afford a private option... what profit driven company would insure a senior (at least not without a ludicrous premium)? Not good business. That should take care of both your qualms. Who's delusional? (That was the rep comment left for those interested) Well, then apparently I need educated then as to what intelligence Clinton had that could've warned him of 9/11 and given him information which which he could act on and neglected to? Still doesn't explain why GHWB let the first bombing happen then?
