Dr. Carson: Obamacare The Worst Thing That Has Happened Since Slavery

I am afraid that your attempt here is already past its use by date....You can tantrum all you want but your opinion on this has been debunked, now move on.

No, you've debunked nothing. You don't want to be insulted, don't be silly.
 
Sorry boys: as the resurgent who gives no ****s for the local partisan arguing, the liberals won this one. Just do the math: when you make a retarded initial argument, all you can do is hope that people mocking and debasing it make an even worse argument. Carson set the bar high and the liberals couldn't overcome that stupidity.

Case closed: liberals win this one.

Nah, they never got as dumb as Carson's original statement, whereas conservatives actually defended Carson. So liberals are in the clear on this one. It's done. Move on to the next fight. They were dumb as **** about the Trayvon Martin thing, maybe go back to that one.

Taxation = Slavery is not a new concept. Regardless of your opinion of the thought.

Old idiocy isn't any better or smarter just because it's old.

Or, how terrible, opinion on a discussion site. Will the terror never end?

If you can think, you know the comparison is idiocy. If you can't, you'll buy any stupidity.

Opinion and insult is all you have. There is little to discuss at that point.

Yes, calling something what it is can be insulting. But that doesn't change that such is what it is. I already showed clearly that no one taxed is chained, beaten, sold, or in anyway held as a slave. That is fact, and not opinion. You merely showed someone say the silly statement and think that superior evidence. That you can't see the trouble with that is bothersome.

Too bad you think so. Too bad that your opinion only recognizes chattel slavery as the only form, that's quite myopic of you. And too bad you find opinions differing from yours bothersome. That's your problem.

Really, it is the only form. The rest is hyperbole. What I find bothersome is the use of exaggeration as if it were not an exaggeration. This is dishonest.
 
Boo Radley said:
So? Seriously, all of us are mostly dealing in opinion. Why do you think that is a point? I've at least defined slavery.

So, now you think your definition is the only one that matters...you prove my point. But it is at least entertaining watching you display your arrogance. :lamo

Yes, I remember that time I was a little late paying my personal property taxes and this big white plantation owner tied me to a post and horsewhipped me for it. Then there was the time I filled an extension on my state income tax return, and one of our kids was sold at auction to another white plantation owner in another state. I have not seen him since. Then there was the time I made a mistake on a tax return, and my wife was raped and impregnated by a local white landowner because of it. Of course, he took the baby away as soon as it was born and smothered it so that his wife would not know.

Thank God last time they gave me a choice. They said, either you get a health insurance policy that can't deny you coverage due to preexisting conditions, or you take a horsewhipping. I took that horsewhipping of course. After all, who wouldn't.

Yes, you are exactly right, taxes and the ACA are just like slavery...

So, here we have as another that can not distinguish between 'chattel' slavery, and the slavery of the state over your labor. If the state can force you to buy a product you don't want, or don't need, then they own your labor.

That's not slavery. The most liberal definition of slavery is work without pay. There is no such definition that would met what you're laying out. And no, buying something isn't labor. Nor is it control of labor. And need? Get in a major accident or contract a major illness, or that for one of your loved ones, and then talk need. When comes to health, no one can predict need.

Bull. If I earn money for my labor, and you force me to buy something with the money I earned, that I don't want or need, and pay more for it than is necessary in order to pay for someone else as well, you are on control of a portion of my labor by force. That's slavery.

You still have most of your earnings. And we've made you buy car insurance and have other rules as well. In any case, it isn't forcing your labor. You don't have to work for anyone or work without being paid. You merely have to do the responsible thing, so that others don't have to do it for you. And slavery isn't a portion, but all of it. Making you pay a nickle toll each day isn't slavery, even if we make you pay it everyday.

You sound like an anarchist. The state requires you to have insurance on your car, I suppose that means they own my labor. They require me to send my kids to school, numerous expenses result from that, I suppose that means they own my labor. What if I want my kids to grow up ignorant and illiterate? Who is the state to tell me that I can't make that choice for my kids and thus I must pay hundreds of dollars of fees every year to enroll them as well as incur other expenses related to their education throughout the school year. If I purchase a new car battery they state requires me to pay a disposal fee for the old one? What if I just want to throw it out on my own property? Why can't I do that? I work in a city that levies a 1% local tax on my income even though I don't live in that city. Why should I have to pay for that cities infrastructure when I don't live in it?

I suppose in your mind all that is just different forms of enslavement. Just another variation of what the blacks endured in the old south, what child soldiers endure in war torn regions of Africa, what the North Koreans endure in forced labor camps... Sure, to you its not chattel slavery, but its slavery just the same..

These types of comparisons that the lunatic fringe likes to make are not just ridiculous, they are offensive. They are a slap in the face to people in this world that do endure real totalitarianism and actual enslavement. What do you think a North Korean born in a massive labor camp whose entire life consists of toiling in the most inhumane conditions imaginable every day, 18 hours or more a day, all year long, for all their life, being told when to wake, when they can sleep, and living in constant starvation... what do you think that individual would think of you or Dr. Carson (a successful man that lives a life of wealth and privilege) comparing a government program like the ACA to slavery? Do you think they would agree with such a comparison? I would imagine they would think you were either crazy or just being like a little baby throwing a fit because you were not getting your way. I assure you though they would not think your comparison to be valid in anyway at all.

Car insurance is imposed or not by the state you love in, not the federal government. Apple's and oranges really. Plus you have the privilege to drive. Are you people really trying to say that I am afforded life and liberty as a privilege?
