Why focus on the athletes? (If the athletes are getting that much, how much do the owners and organization pull in?) I would actually have an issue if they were paid, say $30,000 a year and the NFL, for example, was still pulling in the kind of money it does. The players are the major reason they can draw in so much money,…

They would not pay a fine. Only those who can actually afford to purchase insurance and do not. Those who cannot afford it would get assistance to help them. I certaily don't think it's fair that the cost of my healthcare shoud increase because someone does not want to purchase insurance and abuses the system. Instead of…

The US has been in debt a very long time. And it has continued to grow under every president. I agree that the number is really exhorbitant and kinda scary to look at. However, I believe that you are contending that we are unlikely to be debt free in one year or even a four year term. What i don't understand is why the…

I Agree about reasons for donations. I don't so much mind increased profit as long as it is not at the expense of workers. I Agree that comapnies need to pay a living wage. I'm Not so sure about the increased taxes though. Tried to look up some information. Below is a link to where I found some info on taxes a credits..…

Regarding the Nancy Pelosi comment. As I said, it's awkward, and a politician should be more astute to how sound bites can easily turn into a meme. So even though the sound bite is disingenuous, I don't have a great deal of passion to dedicate in its defense. As far as Romney's statement, I didn't initially see a problem…

Opportunity in America means people 'get as much education as they can afford' But in the interest of fairness, here is the entire statement as it was spoken. I want to make sure that we keep America a place of opportunity where everyone has a fair shot, they get as much education as they can afford and with their time…

I don't know if it makes a difference, but here is the actual quote with some discussion about it. (also the link to the information is posted. It is still an awkward statement, but when I hear things that doesn't make sense, I try to find out more. http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2010/05/pelosi.html…

Nice breakdown. It would be wonderful if people actually researched before forming their opinions esides spouting talking points they've heard over and over again. All sides.

Thank you, slour441. I still don't know how to do it, but you have it up so that works, yeah. (not my twitter page by the way. found it on the web)

tomato tomatoe, potato potatoe. Semantics. The IRS will be the one enforcing the mandate/collecting taxes. It's a tax. I think justice Roberts explained his opinion pretty well. Besides no politician wants to be on record with the words "raising taxes". As I said, simply say you don't like the law or it's a bad one. The…

But his ruling doesn't affect or change the implementation, so how is that "making" or "writing" the law? This man who has earned his way up to the supreme court (not an easy task) is now too young and immature and was fooled becasue he didn't vote how you think he should? This man who actually sat through the hearing and…

:noway: hmmm :huh: "edited to focus on what I was reacting to...

This makes me think of the phrase, "If ain't broke, don't fix it". But fine, let's say it is preventative, but there is definately no urgent need. I don't necessarily have an issue with ID's being required. However, I don't think election laws should be changed so close to a major election. In fact, I think changes should…

Oh come on. Don't do that. I didn't forget that someone died and I doubt anyone else did. I just didn't want to minimize his death by stating that people die everyday, tragically, and accidentally. Again, people have been held responsible and investigations are still going on. Seriously, do you fire the governor if an…

Well hopefully now, instead of focusing how it can be blocked, villified, and repealed our elected officials can work on making it something that most can be satisfied with. Oh, wait, Romney already has plans to have it repealed. But seriously, officials are in office to work on and possibly solve problems, not hinder…

I just heard about the possible connection with voter suppression. That whole thing is scary to me. I thought it was illegal to suppress votes.

lol, You guys are funny, OK, so I thought it was just me being dense. I just couldn't understand what makes it such I high profile issue requiring congressional hearing and all kinds of documents and worth interrogating Holder. I understand that it is program that didn't work out as planned and that incompetence was…

No one?

Indecisive. Purchased body link core with display. It was the price that was an issue, but it's what I really wanted. I'm sure I'll love it.

Thanks, I've been looking online and around the boards. Thinking of going with fitbit instead.

Here is a great review of Fitbit vs bodybugg http://tweakfit.com/fitbit-vs-bodybugg-reviews

Thanks I did do a search before. Either I was not using the right key words or what I found wasn't what I was looking for. However, I did another search on google. and got some good info. I am not 100% sure on the difference in accuracy, but have decided to go with a fit bit. It is cheaper in the long run. If the estimate…

good info

I'm trying to decide between the bodymedia fit, bodybugg, and fit bit. Anyone know how the accuracy compares among the three?

Never got a response, trying again. Also, would you prefer bodybugg or fit bit?

Distracted driving is distracted driving regardless of the cause of the distraction. I understand the feelings behind the laws, but I don't think one distraction is worse than others. Whatever the reason, the at fault driver gets the ticket. If there is death, there can be a manslaughter charge unless it can be shown that…

Bump, still looking for an answer. Anyone out there have any insight?
