huh. That does make sense. I know malpractice is a big weight on the the system in the US. AgentOrange Send a noteboard - 04/02/2010 11:58:37 AM
An American friend of mine is a doctor. She said that if she ever gets into a field where malpractice is 'common' like surgeury, she'll move to Florida. Because state law says 'they can't take your house'. :O
What you say about qualifiers is inherently true, except that on the net, anyone who wishes to misunderstand or twist your meaning will still find ample opportunity to do so. You might as well not waste time and just let loose ;)

Like the NYT? random thoughts - 05/02/2010 02:12:36 PM 665 Views
I don't believe the Times has ever conceded bias. Joel - 05/02/2010 06:03:02 PM 693 Views
and neither does Fox so I am not sure that matters random thoughts - 05/02/2010 06:40:15 PM 770 Views

PBS is biased random thoughts - 05/02/2010 07:21:14 PM 640 Views
You're entitled to believe that. Joel - 05/02/2010 07:31:07 PM 792 Views
PBS has an obvious yet undeclared bias so does NPR random thoughts - 09/02/2010 04:47:53 AM 618 Views
Even were that true (which I dispute) my statement stands. Joel - 09/02/2010 09:50:36 AM 738 Views
so they wouldn't be biased becuas it could hurt them but you still argue republicans attack them random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:19:53 PM 696 Views
Sometimes the truth hurts, though it doesn't hurt PBS. Joel - 10/02/2010 10:15:13 AM 776 Views
We have been for some time. Joel - 02/02/2010 03:31:10 AM 697 Views

Universal healthcare was the primary plank in Clintons '92 platform. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:02:18 AM 640 Views
That does not mean his bare plurality was an endorsement of National Healthcare Isaac - 04/02/2010 02:09:32 PM 756 Views
I don't think he won by default, and that was his primary issue. Joel - 05/02/2010 08:09:50 AM 807 Views
Re: I don't think he won by default, and that was his primary issue. Isaac - 05/02/2010 03:52:23 PM 759 Views

Again, we're back to "how would you prefer to do it?" Joel - 09/02/2010 09:42:51 AM 770 Views
Any way that works, which currently probably is none Isaac - 09/02/2010 06:12:41 PM 725 Views
I think HDI is more accurate than nothing, though it certainly needs some fine tuning. Joel - 10/02/2010 11:03:08 AM 815 Views
Sorry for the delay... Isaac - 12/02/2010 11:40:21 PM 859 Views

Don't speak in absolutes and I won't read absolutes. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:08:43 AM 640 Views
Some qualifiers can be left unsaid for a clearer message. Or better delivery AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 10:26:56 AM 636 Views
Qualifiers are clarifying by nature. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:49:06 AM 763 Views
huh. That does make sense. I know malpractice is a big weight on the the system in the US. AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 11:58:37 AM 626 Views
Perhaps, but it's hardly the greatest weight, or even in the top three, IMHO. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:44:49 AM 757 Views
Pearl Harbor would never have happened to a classically liberal nation Cannoli - 05/02/2010 01:33:56 AM 660 Views
