And assuming the unsettled thing is still talking about PTP here, it was stated that PTP still responds to Relf / Frazir because at least they are amusing. Unsettled was just a jingoistic retard with nothing of value to provide to _any_ debate. If unsettled wants to check, he can take part in some of the other threads and see what he can provide in the way of real physics.

The one thing you have to keep in mind is that they both claim to be retired (I have no reason to doubt either.) I've seen this behavior often. While they were working, they supported administrations that built up enormous deficits because it meant not paying as much in taxes as they should have to support the services that they got from the government. Now that the economy is slowing down in response to such irresponsible governance, and health care is becoming too expensive for all but the richest, those who got their slice of the pie during that time refuse to allow the government to institute the social programs that were necessitated by their generation's irresponsibility and greed. In other words, now that BAH and Unsettled have gotten their little slice of the pie, everyone else can eat cake. Apres eux, la deluge! Eric Lucas

Of course it's not. Our Federal government does plenty of things for the entire country. This is just another of BAH's excuses for ignoring data that a nationalized health care system would be better than what we currently have. Eric Lucas |
