And where is the evidence for that? Don't forget that it is not just the waste in just one part of the system. The NHS hospitals have a lot of paperpushers, granted. But the GPs don't really. If the GPs had to deal with a number of private hosipitals and billing etc then they would need a lot more people to deal with that. What would be wrong, waste wise, of having private hospitals, private GPs but a govermental payed system? The waste in

all the studies I have seen ('political' and peer reviewed medical journals) have pointed out that the US system costs between 2 and three time more than canada's for just the admin. Seattle doctors for example have to deal with at least 775 different plans and so need to know how to apply etc with this vast range. Candain doctors need to know how to deal with one. There is waste in every single system humans have ever come up with.

isn't the reason that the phrase 'breaking the silence' is being used is that the group doing the work etc is called 'breaking the silence'?

In my, and my family's, experience the NHS is very good when the condition is more serious. The time from my dads NHS dentist spotting something odd with his tongue to the surgery for mouth cancer was about 10 days. My grans was about 2 weeks. Non urjget issues, such as hip jobs, do take longer. But in the last ten years everybody I know has been dealt with within a few months.

bit confused about the story. Why doesn't convicing people god exists prove god exists? If I convince 100 people that invisable pink unicorns exist and they say you should only eat pink food of fridays would that make the existance of the unicorns true?

Most people are in the same way. Sex is not just sex when it is part of a marriage (or simular). I have had random sex with radomn people and there was nothing to it and it didn't make any difference. My soon-to-be ex-wife had sex with somebody else and that really did make a difference . There is a level of betrayl in it that at the recieving end of shatters your world. If he was capable of that it is an indication that he is capable of other things.

not all of them. I went to a school for christian scientists (even though neither of my parents belive) and the head masters daughter fell over and knocked herself uncoincous on the edge of the pavment and the senior people in the school formed a circle and prayed for her. They didn't call an doctor.

science is a rat race and the best way to get kicked off it is to fake data. Nobody says that science is perfect or that there are cheats in it but seeing as the vast majority of science is built on other knowedge it is checked. If an article doesn't fit in with the pattern, and later evidence, it is gradually ingored.

[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" comment="156"] the babylions had every 7th as a holy day from a calender 20centryies BC! but the Babylonians came way later than Moses (during Egypt's world power status) so the Babylionians have no bearing on this subject at all. The Babylonian empire was during the six century BC. Not 20 centuries B.C. This is a historical and biblical fact. They conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. Genesis was written

The 7 day week as expained has a basis in astromony and the human mind. As I mentioned there are 28days between the points at which the moon in the same position relative to stars in the sky. 28 days of the week would be far too complicated and all the systems that humans have come up with for weeks are between 5 and 10 days. 7 days is a rather nice quater of the time period that it an easy one to monitor. the babylions had every 7th as a holy day from a calender 20c

If the human writers of God's word were so ignorant as you profess then why did they write this way before it was even discovered that the earth was a sphere?

The affect it has on society has no impact on the truth of it. Even if darwins ideas led to hitler et al it would not alter the (likely) truth of darwins ideas. Also lots of non-human animals have rule of society, google vampire bats for a classic example. It is far from the strongest wins, in the community a bat will give up its food if another one is starving unless that bat has a track record of not doing the same. What is that if it is not a good way of runn

Oh, ok then *backs away slowly while destroying all evidence that all humans are mammals and all mammals animals'. Do you have a comment about the gay prision thing still being unnatural when it happens in nature, and not just in zoos or the like? (please bear in mind the definations of the words, you know the actual definations)

But if it happens in nature it can not be 'unnatural'. We are animals. We are all animals. Look it up.

Reply to Hoaxes in Current Events Stardock Forums

Ok, fair enough. I mean 'gods' law does say 'thou shall not lie with a man as you would a woman, unless of course you are randy and there are only men around'. Does that mean you don't find anything 'against nature' when people in jail bugger each other? Or the example of male-male pairs hatching and rearing eggs (produced by a third party of course). Nothing like human examples. etc etc.
