Health Care in Sweden →
greenstate:
the cost for my husband breaking his leg so far [not all of the bills are in]: about 80k.
80k for a broken leg? Holy CRAP! And I thought the cool 120k fee to have my son born was expensive.
Maybe the problem in America isn’t only the fact that people don’t have affordable insurance but also the fact that the prices of care are absolutely insane?
Taco Bell’s Beef Problem: Convenience and the... →
Over the past week, the fast food restaurant chain Taco Bell was sued for claiming that the taco mixture used in their products was actually beef. According to USDA standards, a beef mixture served by businesses must contain at least 40% beef in ordered to be labeled as such, and the lawsuit alleges (with some evidence) that their taco mixture only contains 36% beef, not the 88% beef that they...

clientsfromhell:
A client of mine came into my office to discuss a new site for his business, with him he brought his young child. After a few minutes the boy spoke up to indicate that he had soiled himself. He was not wearing diapers. At that point I offered up the bathroom to change the child as the smell was already quite offensive. The client very non-chalantly declined and proceeded with...

MB = Not good.
Not an expert on the MB but I do fear this entire region is going to be a huge fucking mess if various countries are going to target Israel after a revolution. Egypt is surely not going to be the last country to have one of those revolutions.
It’s gonna be equally messy for the US government, Democrats and Republicans alike. I sure wouldn’t want to be in...

I'm Sorry
sirmitchell:
I’m sorry, but if you think money is better spent killing people in caves than spent on cancer research, you are an asshole. Every day 1500 Americans die from cancer. That is a 9/11 every 48 hours.
(I lost two Grandparents in the past year to cancer, and a third who kicked its ass. I also had cancer at 21.)
hatefulatheist asked: That's part of the problem with making these comparisons though. You didn't have that experience in the one you attended. Where my mother grew up going to a Catholic school, they were required to attend church every day. They were taught that God was the answer to most questions and did have many tests where "God did it" was an acceptable answer. It is fine if your experience...
hatefulatheist asked: There may be modern and progressive Christians that accept some teachings of science but there will be a point that it boils down to "God did it". It may be how humans were "created", how the universe was formed, or what happens when we die but ALL Christians will have at least one answer that I consider to be a complete cop out. If you're coherent enough to present the...
Something to think about
thefifthkind:
Believe there’s a high (statistical) probability that the universe is full of life and civilizations more advanced than us may very well have visited Earth and be called a tin-foil-hat nutcase for your beliefs.
Believe there’s an invisible uber-being who created the entire universe out of nothing in 6 days and be socially required to receive all the respect in the world for your...
“You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on...”
– Carl Sagan (via ageofreason)
Maybe Dr. Sagan was right (and fuck knows he was all the time) and any discussion with a believer is pointless.

Kristi, a friend of my wife has a gorgeous little cousin who needs help. She’s only six years old and diagnosed with leukemia. With the ‘awesome’ healthcare system here in America you know what this is going to mean for her and her parents. They’re going to need every dollar. And a lot of hoping she’ll get cured.
So, if you want to do something that actually...

– Gandhi (via azspot)
Gandhi nailed it. If Jesus really does exist I’m sure he’s gonna kick some serious ass when he meets all those hateful so-called Christians here.
kingfish76 asked: Hey why all the anti-religious stuff lately? I enjoy reading your point of view and all. Yet I sense a deep rooted anger? Why? Please do not take this as an attack but as one of your followers on tumblr I am just interested. I am a christian and I do not always agree with your posts but I think you make some great points. I have an open mind and I do not feel that atheism is anything other...

Now that’s the America I love…eat that bitches!!
Maybe they’re not looking at her in jealousy, maybe they just think she looks really pretty, as all women do in this picture.
I keep going on and on and on about this but Muslim women like to wear whatever the hell they want to, as does other women in America. It’s really rude of someone to laugh at one being...

Late night rant ahead! Executive summary: If you lack the brain cells to have a civil discussion then please, please unfollow me.
It appears today was the first day other Tumblr’s felt the need to yell at me or revert to petty namecalling. Something worth writing about I’d say. As many of you know I love to have discussions about religion and politics. I like them a lot. I’m not...

EDIT: *trigger warning* for marcovhv being an absolute disgusting shitstain talking about rape and religion (also added ‘erasure’ tag)
Calling someone ‘an absolute disgusting shitstain’ sure does add to the credibility of your arguments. Oh wait where are those again?
REMINDER: one of the most important things you can...
Not sure if my foreign voice matters but I’m 100% behind this and therefore reblogging.
Anonymous asked: Religion does not oppress people. People oppress people. People and their idiotic interpretations. People warp religion to suit their needs, and they proceed to do whatever they want, using "divine mandates" as a shield. Manifest Destiny, anyone? Mandate of Heaven? I can take any CSS manual out of context and insist that my backwards coding is correct. Doesnt make me correct, and...

stfuislamophobes:
Honestly, I nearly burst into tears seeing that meme. It’s ridiculous how horrible things such as rape and honor killing become something exploit to defeat religion.
Remember the victims. Think about how they would react to what you are saying. This goes for everyone as well.
One more thing. Now that I’ve seen the meme in question I can only conclude that you’re...

This is the Commander. Moments ago, this ship received word of a Cylon attack against our homeworlds is under way. We do not know the size or the disposition or the strength of the enemy forces, but all indications point to a massive assault against Colonial defenses.
