"Of the type"? I'm in Texas, in case you forgot. I don't have to watch Fox to have conservative influence. I don't talk to anyone about Fox, or about what Fox talks about. I don't read a newspaper (any paper) or watch any news. Seriously. none. If I see it on my google homepage, I see the title, realize that the title was basically a summary of the story anyways, and move on. I spend very little time on details of a topic for which I have no control and very little concern. I'm almost a blank slate, except for general society around me and its influences.

And you are objective? Is this a case of I'm right and everyone else is wrong unless they agree with me? I'd like to see that one hold up in general discussion. LOL

I didn't check. I was scrolling through, saw something that caught my eye, and went with it.

What evidence? I'm still waiting for some information from you that shows the benefits of social healthcare.

This isn't a debate class. This is pub discussion. http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...iscussion.html
You've already broken one rule, and still have yet to give some meaningful benefits that I requested, fairly, for consideration. I'm serious, I have read basically nothing on the bill, and I'm curious. If you don't mind me asking, quit beating around the bush and provide something interesting
It's not like you have to quote it (you technically can't anyways), just mention something that seems to stand out as good.
