The brilliant democrat answer is to fine (er, tax) them. Problem being - the fine (er, tax) is less than what they need to purchase insurance. So the logical conclusion is that everyone should do this instead of purchasing insurance. Even a democrat should be able to see the problem with this. Maybe not...

Insurance is a form of shared risk. Consertatives do not have problem with insurance in general. What we do have a problem with is the government mandating coverage.

My kids (17 & 14) have tried the privacy argument on us. Our response was "If you want the privileges that come with adulthood then you also have the responsibilites that come with being an adult. This means that you pay for your own cell phone, clothing, entertainment. You'll be responsible for your own transportation. We will bill you monthly for your portion of the mortage, utilities and the food you eat." Funny after having this conservation they did not bring up the privacy canard again. Both my kids are not 'problem' children and we do trust them. However, they are still teenagers and not adults.

Yep. I have found that there atheists that are unwilling to have an actual discussion. They have something in their past that makes then unable to have a discussion. I shall pray for this gentleman - my the Lord open his eyes.

Nice. You throw mud, don't answer questions and the run away. And you accuse us of being intolerant... Rolls eyes...

do that. Starting off by calling Christians in the US 'Taliban' is not the best way to make your point. I appologize for any Christians that may have offended you by calling names - we sometimes deal with trolls who's only means of discussion if throwing mud. If you want a rational discussion then let's start -without name calling.
