where's deepak?

we as in America

i'm completely against universal healthcare. what the fuck is it with the united states and being so damn backwards? it's not working in europe, it's not working in canada, and it's not working in japan. in fact, it's failed in many countries, yet we still want this institution? give me a fucking break

yeah, not hard at all. this might not sound nice and dandy for us all here, but if i'm going to work my ass off to become a doctor, and sacrifice all those years to get to the point where i'm making shit loads of money, i want what i earn, not what i earn minus shit that i have to give to others. again, this might offend some of you here, but that's my mindset at least. aardvark, i think i basically said what you said earlier.

well i agree with it, that's why i made it a point to say that i'm quite "conservative" when it comes to money and the economy. i'm NOT for universal healthcare, and yeah, yeah, i'm a medical student, but sorry, there's plenty of evidence to show that it doesn't work. if i work hard to make the money that i'm going to make, i'd like to keep most of it, hence my "libertarian" tendencies.

same here. and i'm done with this thread, politics is boring.

thanks for the warning, guess i should pick it up during the summer, should have some downtown in the lab

that sounds more like it, as you can probably tell, politics isn't something that i really pay attention to. thanks, i'll definitely check it out. world war 2 has definitely been interest of mine that i've kept on the back burner due to pre-med and the like.

fuck, the thread was moved before i finished

well that's the thing. i believe in and agree with many things that have to do with libertarianism, especially when it comes to the economy, especially taxation. when it comes to social issues, i definitely lean towards the left. thus i just put the two together. i'm very, very not interested in politics.

i stand corrected. great reply reks.

by the by, i consider myself to be a libertarian democrat

man that stoning shit was fucking disturbing

i wouldn't go this far. hitler was clearly nuts and killed millions of innocent jews on the basis of their religion alone. genocide is a completely different issue. by the way, how did this whole thing start? i just kinda jumped in for shits and giggles.

fine by me, but i still stand by what i said. bush tries to make us believe that he's fighting the "good fight," when in reality he's doing to them exactly what they are doing to us. he spouts idealist bullshit about how the world should be run the way we (Americans) run it and how their ways are wrong. members of al qaeda spout shit about how our way of doing things isn't right and that it should the way they do it. same bullshit comes out of both camps. bush uses christianity and al qaeda uses islamic ideals to support whatever the fuck they're doing. like aardvark said, this is a new holy war.

I see no difference between Bush and Al Qadea. They're pretty much doing the same thing to each other: "if you don't believe in what we do, then we'll kill you." Bush and Al Qadea are both idealists. Bush goes over there sprouting his shit on democracy and uses his christian faith to back up his decisions. Al Qadea uses their faith and hatred of America.

agreed

yay jay!

reminds me of my econ classes at Northwestern.

alac on iPhone? ouch. I use 192 VBR AAC on my iPhone. works great for me.

yeah, he did indeed use the upgrade feature (as did I). i think we both may do fresh installs later.

yeah we both upgraded to leopard. we're cheap so we used the same disk, but I doubt that matters, since it worked before. his computer, MBP, has apparently been running slower lately than before, which is news to me. i tried onyxing it but he says the performance isn't quite up to what it used to be. *shrug*

i used to use XLD on mac os x, so I had to go from FLAC to AIFF to ALAC. Worked fine, but Max allows me to go from FLAC directly to ALAC. Haven't noticed a difference at all, but whatev.

well, i did the traceroute and it basically takes 1.5ms to ping his computer, so it can't be the network. damn it.
