1-The exp rate on any race a character worth over 200M totals plays would be
decreased by 5%. 3% woudl vanish into wiz beaurocracy, 2% would go to players
either too new, stupid, or lazy to grind their own exp.

I thought I could come up with a few more, but I'm tired, and bummed about
Health Care Reform passing.

Everyone would have to buy prots whether or not they wanted them!
Merchants would be forced to give prots at a loss, with no say about who they
gave prots to.
High-end players who wanted to get full services from high-end booned out
merchs would have to pay a tax to the BatRY for their cadillac plans.

Wow, the USA really seems to be the promised land of hardcore capitalists: "I
want it all, NOW, thx! The others can rot in the gutter as far as I care!". No
wonder the recent global recession started from your country :P
Does the word 'solidarity' even belong to your vocabulary..?

There is a huge difference between solidarity and government forced
solidarity. Yes we should be generous, but that does not mean that a
government has the right or obligation to steal from someone to be "generous"
to another.

I do not understand how providing universal health care is so onerous. The
government forces you to pay taxes, yet I don't hear you complain when you
drive on roads that your tax dollars paid for, when police protect you that
your tax dollars paid for, when your job kicks you to the curb and you collect
unemployment, i dont hear you complain then. I just hear you complain about
taxes. The simple fact is that a country is a community and there is just a
huge problem with your "community" when you only care about yourself. Also
add the fact that this bill will actually REDUCE the federal defeceit (and
thats not just bullshit, the Office of government accountability came up with
that info) and this is a win win. Its just bullshit when only the very rich
can afford care that prevents them from DYING. We gave the private system a
chance to get this right. For 40 FUCKING years. And this is the best we can
do? Our system provides worse care and costs 40 times as much as most of the
civilized world. Its time for a change.

You know what my friend? The sole reason why governments (yes, plural as you
certainly are not the only one in this) "enforce" solidarity is because people
are NOT SOLIDAR :)
Of course, you can have a US-style system which does indeed produce a nice
GNP, top level science, top level pop culture, lleads the world economy and
so, but also leaves half of its own people without medical care and some very
basic stuff. Okay, it is probably very fine for all those people who happen to
be the ones that reap the rewards of such system. But people in the gutter-end
of the system tend to gron unhappy. And when they are unhappy enough, they
stop your car in the traffic lights and put a bullet in your head just to get
that 200 dollars they think you are carrying in your wallet when you are
driving around in your nice and shiny SUV. Maybe at this point it might have
been nicer if the poor nigga would have had some basic services of the society
as well, so nobody had to die. Now you die both, the latter in the electric
chair...



Oh, and while at it, add a Y into that word over there to make it look less
dumb. And sorry for the other typoes as well, I blame it on telnet and the new
health care bill :D

And of course there are other fine solutions for this problem: you can always
put electricity and 10000 volts to the high fence surrounding your nice house
in the suburbs and pay that extra 1000 usd for the bulletproof windows in your
car! That's probably the way the republicans would prefer it :)

Dear Healthcare Reform Opponents who are parents. I do not, nor will I ever,
have children. My taxes pay for your kids education, school bus system, and a
myriad of other services I will never personally take advantage of. So, suck
it up and let me have my health care.

Your old system was the most expensive one in the whole world and still like
30% of the population was left without healthcare. Your new system altought a
bad and bureaucratic can't do much worse.

I'm not really informed about the finesse of politics and how economy
works, so pardon my layman question, but what's wrong with trying to keep
the population healthy on the long run?

Doesn't that kinda promote economy that people get treatment, instead of
hindering productivity with half-assed medical "care" and long
sick leaves?

Yeah in the bizarro universe I live in, I'd much prefer to have a system where
20% of my exp goes to either ?har, ?reld or ?ntor who then spend a third of
that exp on highbie bureaucracy, a third on their many reincs, and a third to
lobby archwizards to keep the system as it is. Wasting all that exp on newbies
and other worthless can't-do-it-themselves-idiots is pointless. I mean, who'd
want more players in this game anyway? I mean at least I never want to sell
any of the eq I make. Let's not help them at all and they'll surely quit soon
enough! Good riddance I say!

No wait, OH SHI-
