RE: Healthcare

I think it is a very telling fact that upon its creation in the 1950's the National Health Service in the United Kingdom was heavily based not on the American private healthcare system but on the system as used by our good friends the National Socialists, who are now known as Germans.

I am curious to know if this American healthcare, this "best of the best", this "the very latest in medical science" is available to all Americans regardless of how much money they have?
Would it surprise you to know that in the UK the "best of the best" is available to all, even unemployable me? Hell, if I did not live in a country with a nationalised healthcare system I'd be in an asylum, dosed up on Valium and icecream, unable to even piss in a toilet let alone waste my life trying to find someone dumb enough to employ me.

OP: That is not "euro socialism" that is "stupid greedy american socialism" which is socialism in name only, kind of like with the USSR.

Ah, that explains why you think the British have some weird taboo about sex; small cross-section of a minority group (Atheists have the majority in the UK).

  Sorry, I don't do christian music; too samey. I did give it a chance, listened to a few reccommended groups, but to be honest all I heard was lots of different ways of saying "Jesus is my special friend" and  "Jesus loves me/you". Sometimes they get kind of creepy, like one song called "Whispers in the Dark" which, to my mind, made Jesus out to be a stalker.

>lulz, next time dont contradict yourself, you say we're arrogant and then say we're not arrogant<

  No, I did not say creationists are arrogant and then say they are not arrogant, I said, and I quote:

"Because then we are not special, we are not chosen, and that fact, __in their minds__, makes their stance, their views, and themselves arrogant."

  Notice the emphasis? That is to draw your attention to the part of the sentence that you ignored in order to formulate your argument, an argument that relies entirely on a, quite frankly, piss poor attempt at wordplay. Now this next quote is quite clearly my own personal view:

"Do I think they're arrogant? No, I think they're afraid, afraid of the unkown, afraid of uncertainty, afraid of the possibility that their lives are half chance, and ultimately that even the outcomes of their choices are half chance."

>also, God doesnt remove uncertaintly; i think just about all if not all religions think that humans have free will.<

  Hindus are fatalists, as are (as far as my understanding goes) Mormons, Jehovas' Whitnesses and some of the myriad sects of christianity that seem to fill Central and Southern USA (as far as my undersdtanding goes).

>why do people like fokker have such a hard time believing in a God?<

  The mistake you make here is assuming that I have no "spiritual" beliefs, whereas I, in reality, do.
Don't ask, you don't deserve to know.

>because they dont want the responsibility that entails when everything is important.<

  Oddly enough this is one of my arguments for why some people cannot handle living in a godless universe, because in a godless universe the ultimate responsibility falls on us, ourselves, and not on a god. Starving children? Our fault. Dying planet? Our fault. Man gets kicked to death because nobody wants to risk getting hurt by trying to break it up... See a pattern forming here?
  You can try as hard as you can possibly try to make yourself believe that I am trying to abslove myself of responsbility, to shun the consequences of my actions, but as ANY member of this forum can tell you (Yell, Flint, even BW, to name a few) I am all to aware of the consequences of my own, and others, actions, and am quite insistent about where the responsibility for everything lies: People.

>they rather live without any pressure where if they screw up, its no big deal, theres no value to human life.<

  I have one life and that is it, I screw up in any way and if I'm lucky I'll have made a mess of what remains of my own life. If I'm unlucky I've screwed the lives of my friends, family, children, grand children, and perhaps even society itself. No pressure?
  You, you play your cards right and you'll get forgiven, and given an eternal afterlife, no matter what you do. No pressure?

I'm thinking of adding you to my ignore list again, so think about your answer very carefully.

But in humans, the best we can do to predict whether a female is ovulating without scientific equipment is to have knowledge of a woman's menstrual cycle. Otherwise, at any given moment we do not know if a female is ovulating or not, and yet at the same time we copulate even when she is not ovulating.

It kind of suggests that while every other critter is copulating to reproduce, we are doing it for fun.

Seriously, wtf?<

Humans are NOT the only animals to have sex for pleasure, Dolphins do it all the time.

>And still no one wishes to try the challenge?<

The challenge is stupid:

"Give me numbers to compress and I will compress and then decompress them to prove my [thingy] works."
"Um, how? The program doesn't actually exist yet, you can't find anyone willing to program it."
"I will simulate it."
"Simulate? How?"
"Oh come now, you know I'm a genius when it comes to statistics and mathematical theorem."
"You mean you're going to do it in your head."
"Yup."
"The same head that you openly admit suffers from a judgement altering disorder that you openly admit you refuse to have treated?"
"[] you satanist!"

Actually what I don't understand is why you are addressing me in such an offensive manner, especially as I was the first person to wish you good luck, and am one of the few people who is putting their personal opinions aside and giving you good advice to help you on your way.

>Result A leads to Result B
Result B leads to Result A<

If it is indeed this simple, prove it, program the program yourself and demonstrate it.
So what if learning to program will add one or two years to the project, you've been working on it for at least two years already, probably four or more, and how did you get through those years? By thinking of the money.

Now stop being such a ******* baby (I'll apologise when you do) and either do it properly or don't do it at all.
