Yeah, but we're better off than other countries of the world.

It sounds a flawed system, but it's got to be better than having no healthcare at all. Why not put the funding into some sort of insurance pot?

I guess I should qualify my statement that it's isn't really full health care but more of a free clinic in a sense. They will pay for most thing but not all. A good example was a friend had needed some dental work done and they would pay for the services except for the anesthesiology. O.o

I think Bruce Dickinson summed this up nicely:

"Selling them whiskey and taking their gold,
Enslaving the young and destroying the old!"

But seriously, that's pretty bad.

Why no insurance because like 2/3 of natives are below the poverty line. It's not particularly bad here where I live as far as quality of life, but in South Dakota and New Mexico on those large reservations lands they are basically third world countries and they rely heavily on government for health and jobs.

Really harsh. We don't have issues with "indigenous populations" that we've just moved on. It happened to us, between 1,000 and 2,000 years ago, with the Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans etc

Start with Dunn & Zimmerman and build around them, or instead, you trade them away for draft picks and stockpile talent. Failing that, hire Billy Beane.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. You're hired as the Nats GM.

Yeah, you don't want to see what's happened to my fantasy team then :P

Anyway, Billy Connolly isn't even a Jags fan, even though he said so during his performances. But he later admitted that he only said that to not lose any fans from either side of the OF supporters. Actually Billy supports Celtic.

But, as I am not from Glasgow I didn't grew up with all the crap going on between Rangers and Celitc, I happen to like all football teams from Glasgow. But it's the Jags I happen to like best. ^^
If I had to rank them on a list, I'd say: 1. Partick Thistle; 2. Celtic; 3. Rangers.
I think it's pretty sad that Connolly had to be careful not to let anyone know he supports Celitc to not lose the Rangers supporters in his audience.

Oh yeah right. I thought we were gonna level on the same day then, but I must've miscalculated something.

You are? *Checks pentalist* Hey indeed you are :p That would be a pretty sweet achievement. I never noticed there were so few people who were even close to 4x20k.

No Bahamut is right, I was Dark at one point right after the redesign. From Level 29 to Level 32 or so I've kept the dark aura, but then I decided I liked the red icon better.

Anyway I've been more active than gamejunkie over the years and I'm the one who reaches every level first, so I think I should be the one who gets to wear the Evil aura >=)

At 1/24/10 12:58 PM, reverend wrote: I never really found out how Canada or Australia handles their indigenous populations. I might have to investigate that.

I can give you a brief overview of Australia.

The indigenous people here, Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, were treated somewhat better than the Native Americans, in the respect that they weren't just completely massacred and were given the right to vote, join the army and participate in sport, but suffered a lot of the same problems caused by the colonists.
Between 1788 and 1900 it's estimated that 90% of the native population died due to diseases that they caught from the colonists to which they had no immunity, being forcibly removed from their land, problems caused by the introduction of alcohol, tobacco and opium by the colonists and fighting with the colonists.
Between the 1860s and 1970s at least 100,000 indigenous children, although the actual figure is unknown and could be much higher, were taken away from their parents by Australian government authorities and church missions. This was done under the guise of protecting the children but there has been a lot of controversy and speculations of all sorts. The most common claim is that it was an attempted genocide because they were trying to get the indigenous population to die out.
In 2008 the Australian government formally apologised for what has become known as The Stolen Generation.

I think you will find Bahamut was talkng to Auz, not me. My aura has nothing to do with the redesign in 2007. When I signed up in 2002 the aura choices were, Good, Neutral or Evil. I chose Evil and have never changed, I have always been Evil. Light, Dark and Fab were added in the redesign and Neutral was removed.

I'm confused by this too.
A long time ago I remember the auras being light, neutral and dark but you couldn't choose them, you were assigned one automatically depending on how you voted. Like if you were mainly very generous with your voting you got light and if you were very stingy you got dark. I think neutral fitted in if your voting was varied or you didn't vote much. I specifically remember the description saying something along the lines of "light aura is for users who commonly vote high on mediocre or bad movies like History of Fuck."
Which is why I use dark today, because I normally vote low on everything. Probably 95% of the under judgment submissions I vote on get either a 0 or 2 so I can get my blam or save point. If the old system was still in place I'd be dark no doubt.
Proof (although what I thought was called dark had a red background so maybe it was called evil, I can't really remember but I could swear it was called dark).

Cunning. I don't think he cares any more, much like his views on religion have gone. People probably could have worked it out, with the fact that he's a (lapsed) catholic and it's pretty secular there.

This reminds me of Jasper Carrot, going on about Birmingham City and making a living out of them being a bad football team. "Then we got promoted - you notice that, it's always they get relegated and we get promoted? - but when we got promoted, I lost half of my act!"

The Druids but I think they were killed off by the Romans. I never really found out how Canada or Australia handles their indigenous populations. I might have to investigate that.

They died... mysteriously. Technically I'm indigenous British, having Welsh and Irish in me. That gets on the nerves of the Pure Welsh that I speak to, especially when Rugby is concerned.

Yeah, you don't want to see what's happened to my fantasy team then :P

It's was probably still better off than the Nats. Put Ovechkin at SS. I'm sure the fans would love it. :P

Shortstop? Nah, I want a powerhouse like Alex the Great at first, or maybe even the outfield. He's got strength, so his throws probably aren't bad.

So I got my quotes wrong.

My aura has nothing to do with the redesign in 2007. When I signed up in 2002 the aura choices were, Good, Neutral or Evil. I chose Evil and have never changed, I have always been Evil. Light, Dark and Fab were added in the redesign and Neutral was removed.

This proves that you need to check your sources. When I signed up in 2004, there were three auras to choose from - Light (Blue), Neutral (Green) and Dark (Red), as they had once upon a time represented the voting habits of each account - this feature was removed as people voted to get the aura they wanted.

In the 2007 redesign, two new auras were added. Fab was Pink and Dark was Black. However, because dark had until then been red, the red aura was now known as Evil

Neutral has never been removed! Check my aura, it still says neutral!

Wait... what?

Dark and Fab were added indeed, but Light has always been there and Neutral has never been removed =/

Wow your right Neutral has'nt been removed, I must be going mad I guess I just was'nt seeing enough of them to recognise it. Holy Crap. But Light must have been added sometime after 02 because there were definitely only 3 options when I signed up in 02. Good (which may now be Light possibly), Neutral and Evil

*confused*

You betcha!!

Oh yeah right. I thought we were gonna level on the same day then, but I must've miscalculated something.

We almost did with our levels in August, though. That was the closest one.

Yeah, you'd think someone would have had 4x20k by now but nope. However, we will in March. :)

Looking forward to it :p

So am I. Funny because when I got 10k EXP, I had doubts reaching 20k because I didn't think I'd go that far but now I'm less than 50 days away from it.

And yes, Coop does look like he'll be the second to get there so that'll be something. No, this doesn't mean the 2x10k Pentalist will be the 2x20k Pentalist.

Good. Cause that would mean I would be excluded for... about half a year or so until I reach either 20k blams or 20k experience.

You'll need 20k posts as well to join us.

It's a long way but he'll get there. I'm 12 levels away from there but I'm best focusing on the next level and then moving onto the next one.

Question is if the level system will still be the same by the time you reach the current exp requirement.

I sure hope so. The level system we have now is perfect.

He can go change to fab or something, cause we're still missing a fab regular.

Can either of you be dark instead?

You probably did, but nevertheless it must have slipped my mind. I'll make up for it, I'm sure :)

I checked back and you did bring it up to me. We were talking about who else could get there soon and the only potential is X but he's been inactive for ages so I'm good to be the first one.

I'm already settled for 30k blams and saves. I'll get 30k EXP next and then posts if I actually reach 30k but that's around 9,250 posts away and I have a rather slow pace these days. That could take me 7 years!

Yeah, you never know, I might pass you for posts before then :P

It's possible. However, go for 20k before you even think of passing me in posts.

I believe at one point bigbadron was banning everyone who made any references to 4chan but you could argue that was bigbadron being bigbadron. I would have expected that particular meme to have been mentioned on Zerok's blog but it's not. Then again, the only times I even hear that quote nowadays are on blogs made by 12/13 year old retards and this thread for 9,000 achievements.

Nah, you can't fix stupid, no matter how many times you ban him.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. My knowledge of ancient British history is shaky. Who were the ones were the Romans had to put up a wall?

Shortstop? Nah, I want a powerhouse like Alex the Great at first, or maybe even the outfield. He's got strength, so his throws probably aren't bad.

Now that I think about it, put him as catcher. No one will think about sending the runners home with him there.

Yeah, but how useful is that? I mean, do you see Leatherface running around with a chainsaw made out of gold?

Definitely, both are wonderful ideas.

Now we only have to get Tom to implement two new icons.

So when will you contact him? :P

We should mass PM him. All at the same time.

Maybe not but people change.

That's right, but it should have been clear from the start that posting extremely right-winged stuff could get him in trouble at some point in life.

Yes but most of us don't even think that at a younger age and that's how it is.

True enough. But most of us are smart enough to not advance a extreme right-winged view, even at younger age. ;)

Not exactly. But I like the quote "I grew up thinking they where called Partick Thistle Nil." It helps me to not lose my temper if they play total rubbish like they did yesterday. ^^

Fair enough - from his earlier gags, it was one of the funnier ones.

I never saw a performance by him (I guess I should watch some stuff on youtube), I only know who Billy is because I visited the People's Palace in Glasgow. ^^
