The answer is yes - of course Al Franken is just as guilty of cherry picking his numbers. I don't care what system you talk about, there is no such thing (statistically) as a ZERO when you are talking about a population in the millions. He's either making that up, or using some report that excludes medical bankruptcies. It doesn't matter what system the U.S. cooks up in Congress - there is never going to be a single day in the entire history of humankind that there will be 'zero medical bankruptcies' in the U.S. Such a claim is absolute bunk based on "cherry picking" how you define bankruptcy.
For example, Mr. Franken is probably not including Canada in his list of 'zero bankruptcies'...

He also probably isn't too eager to say that his desired system will be shutting off the tap of so-called 'free medical care' to millions on a regular basis based on economics. He also didn't seem to eager to quote the words of his own fellow democrats who say that grandma better get ready to "take the pain pill" and "we're going to let you die".
If you don't work, have no income, and have medical issues then you are 'medically bankrupt' even in Germany, France, and Switzerland. Zero - what a dingus. And some of you think this guy is smart?


[Krupo shakes head]

This is pretty dismal.

It's not cherry-picking to pick a well-defined topic and discuss it.

It's an absolute disgrace to take a topic of discussion and turn it into something completely different. Redefining the scope without informing others of your intent is akin to bringin a laser gatling gun to a fencing match.

Have you even for a moment considered that perhaps Canada has bankruptcy laws which may be easier for people to gain access to than the US, making it easier for them to wipe their slate clean after misfortune?

The topic at hand is regarding people who have to pay their hospital and doctor for treatment, can't, and go bankrupt.

If you go bankrupt in your personal life that is not a medical bankruptcy, that's just an ordinary bankruptcy.

So please stop twisting terms around, and encouraging other people's "junk science" - go Wiki "Fraser Institute" to note how it is, if anything, a clearinghouse for "junk science."

They're deliberately working on misleading people with your so-called study, and your twisting of the facts.

>> ^ant:
MythBusters had this one in one of their episodes to shoot a dead tree down.


They also shot a fish in a barrel with it.

>> ^supersaiyan93:
okay, i get the panels on each side of the shooter, but dude, his balls are behind just glass.



Do you think that they are gonna spend that much money on the gun and the modification to the roof and NOT replace the windshield and other windows with bulletproof glass?

dupe I believe. there is one floating around talking about president gatling something. can't find anything with gatling

Aw, hey, thanks!

you're telling me that is GUNFIRE? that is from the gatling gun on this beast? oh my god they are going to put an eye out with that crap
I wonder if that effectively vaporizes a large part of the body. Instant vaporization would be a great way to go. You didn't think the conscious should be shut down gradually did you?


As the gun is designed to shread Armor, that is -tanks-, it would have to be somewhat overmatched for anti-personnel duty. Which is what the cluster muntions are for. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The GAU-8 Avenger on the A-10 Warthog is meant as a Anti-Tank weapon thus it is loaded with a combat mix munitions composed of Armor Piercing Incendiary (DU) and High Explosive Incendiary rounds.

"The GAU-8 Avenger fires a mix of both high explosive incendiary (HEI) and armored piercing incendiary (API) ammunition. A typical combat load for the GAU-8 would include 1,100 rounds of 30mm high explosive or armor piercing ammunition. The 30mm API is mixed with 30mm High Explosive Incendiary (HEI) at the factory and is called Combat Mix Ammunition. The ratio of API to HEI rounds in the Combat Mix is 4:1. Combat mix is a sequential mixture of DU and HEI rounds in which 1 HEI round followed by 4 DU rounds are fired by the AN/GAU-8 gatling gun. DU is the primary munition for the A/OA-10 in a combat environment."
FAS Article on the GAU-8 Avenger.

The combat mix is a practice solution for what is essentially a belt fed system in the air, changing munitions out is not ideal within a combat zone where targets of opportunity would change requiring a change of attack profile, the A-10 landing and switching out rounds would not work.

I believe this is a video from Afghanistan not Iraq. CAS is provided by US forces for International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), which is an operation of NATO nations including the U.S. BBC News would report casualties, while close calls like this is a daily occurence for operations both in Afghanistan and Iraq. This was from MilitaryVideos.com

I love it when people try to save lives by creating more horrific weapons.

First comes love,
Then comes marriage,
Then comes Oppenheimer in a baby carriage.

I see what you're saying: That 90% of tech submissions would be of the geeky nature...

In reply to this comment by dag:
I hear what you're saying, but I still think the cross-over would be too great. 90% of the tech posts would also be geek posts. That means we're taking up 2 channels where 1 would have done. With growing channel proliferation, we want to conserve those 7 allotted channel spots to be as distinct as possible.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Choggie, you must live in Maine, because it's exactly how you described it.
Than you all for the wonderful comments, and Dag, about the channel thing:
I argue that the crossover is MUCH less than people have made it to be.

For example, I cite these videos:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Solar-Air-Conditioning
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Antikythera-mechanism
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Aquaduct-pedal-powered-water-filtering-vehicle
http://www.videosift.com/video/Computerized-model-of-how-a-Gatling-gun-works
http://www.videosift.com/video/Get-tasered-from-100-feet-away

Things like that get slapped with "geek" even though it really is more of a plain "tech" thing.


I think Rembar (where the hell IS that guy?) summed it up nicely in this channel.
