why is it that if I happen to go under financially and lose my house, I need to be educated as far as "personal responsibility", but the rich and famous can walk away from multimillion dollar real estate deals and it's "strategic planning"????

Uggghhhh, I give up... I am TRULY trying to understand your thinking...but you are just making it impossible!!!

Here are a few things you should know about insurers’ investments:
Contrary to what some people think, insurers have never had a year when they lost money on investments. Some years are better than others, but the industry has always generated positive investment returns.
Insurers are among the most careful investors in the country. On average, approximately three quarters of their investments are in government bonds.
In order to make sure that insurers are able to pay claims, the federal government monitors the industry’s investments to make certain that they are low-risk.
Insurers strive to maintain a portfolio that allows for quick liquidation of investments to pay claims.

What the hell dude? Condoms are free too, should they not be? Theyre almost a dollar a pie e unless you buy in bulk. If you do it twice a day, that birth control you moan about is cheaper. Ive paid for it before, its about 30 a month.
Have you seen what happens to unwanted children? hmmm.... Its all for the children.
... Why should condoms be free?... Maybe next it should be video games as well huh?... They will stop teenagers from having too much sex so we ALL should pay for teenagers to have free video games...edit on 4-11-2012 by ElectricUniverse because: (no reason given)

it's amazing how one part of the law, a part that was designed to ensure that insurance plans that do cover abortions not use federal money, can be twisted to say that they do the complete opposite!!!
but...continue on....

What the heck does Bank of America have to do with Americans being FORCED to pay for abortions and contraceptives of other women?... YOU might agree with it, but MILLIONS of Americans DO NOT AGREE... Yet you see it as okay to FORCE millions of Americans to do your will?.. You are THE SAME as Bank of America trying to impose your will instead of accepting that others have a different view than you and have RIGHTS...edit on 4-11-2012 by ElectricUniverse because: (no reason given)

Where did I say it is a recent phenomenon?...
What people, including you, should realize that what we really need to teach to the young generations is PERSONAL RESPOSIBILITY, and they are not going to learn this when the government wants to provide everything free for them so they can become dependent of the government...

I did not say anyone should pay for an abortion. Contraceptives are not abortions. Do you even read posts before you reply to them? We gave millions to b of a so they could get their bonuses. Condoms and pills cost nowhere near that much.
Im not going to waste my time with you

No, that is not the same logic at all. You don't get a say in where your tax money goes. Or to pick an choose. Your precious freedom comes with a price, and sometimes in a free society that price is that you don't always get to have your own selfish little way. It's either that or anarchy and no taxes and no services at all. this whole argument is tedious. And I'm almost sure you're missing the irony and the sarcasm because that doesn't permeate well through blinders.
