I'm dressing up as W

shooting through a Rolling Rock bottle with a candle behind it. There was no editing other than cropping to center it

And this is without manual focus, just lots of trial and error

Yeah, I know I'm kind of an asshole asking the government to do two whole things at once...

We're got a department of health, department of education, department of homeland security, defence department, housing department, agriculture department, etc, etc. When I pay my taxes, I expect a certain level of multitasking to go on in the government. So the answer of "we can't fix health care because there are terrorists in the world" is kind of a bullshit answer. Yes, it's hard. Important work is always hard. But it's their god damned job.

Quote from von*ferret

For instance if someone is really in need of some seious medical aid in canada, they seem to come to America. Why? Because we can treat them, while they are put on a never ending list of waiting at canada.

That's only a half truth. The reason they come to America when they need specialized care is the fact that we have a more extensive network of specialists in America. Because they know they'll get a high salary in America, a lot of foreign born docotors who become specialists decide to stay in America instead of going back to countries like Canada. So it's not that Canada is trying to be a dick about people getting certain procedures done. There's just a brain drain of the talen needed.

I don't support full socialization of medical care for that specific reason. I do, however, support a basic needs package to be afforded to all citizens and administered by the government. This means that everybody is afforded the ability to get yearly check ups (including costly lab work and xrays) to make sure people are staying healthy and catching diseases early. People also need to be able to get emergency room care, pregnancy care (not just birth, but the 9 months leading up to and year afterwards), and other basic services needed to maintain a healthy society. Families shouldn't have to go bankrupt to keep somebody alive or well because of an accident, disease, or condition outside of their own control. We live in the wealthiest and most medically advanced nation in the world and it's a shame youv'e still got kids in this nation that can't get bsic checkups or see a dentist.

Nope, just have shadow depth.

I see this debate closely mirroring the first 92 debate between George Bush and Bill Clinton. People came in saying that Bush was the more experienced debater and politicin, while Clinton was the inexperienced southerner. As it turns out, Bush looked old and out of touch while Clinton came off looking youthful and energetic. Nobody ended up remembering their policy stances because all of that was heavily scripted and neither of them went too far off the page. It was all about the visual presentation style. Cheney's only hope is to keep himself restrained and avoid making faces like Bush did last week. As long as Edward stays close to his debate prep, smiles a lot, and keeps his southern accent at an appropriate level, he'll come off as the victor.

nah, the really old school cs forums were the best. I killed newbs on site.

By all means, continue your fight. It amuses Fletch.

Lipton really hates birds... and babies. Fucking smart mouth babies.

back in my days, I'd start flame wars in other people's threads... oh how time's have changed.
