ACA Premium Reimbursement
Today I was refunded a decent amount of last year's insurance premium through my company because our insurer didn't spend enough of their income from premiums on claims. What is going on here that some people are seeing their premiums double while some insurers literally don't have enough claims. Is it just happenstance that this provider only has healthy people? A civil, informed discussion would be appreciated, if at all possible.

Since there's so much rage about the American political situation, I thought I'd change it up a bit. Who do you think the next Australian PM will be?

Every F$&@ing Game Ruined!!!!
Every f$@&ing game ruined by NMR/CD's ... and then the D Bags who get the advantage won't cancel the game! Pathetic guys! You know who you are, and you're freakin' pathetic point grubbing thieves! You can't play win a straight up fight, so you resort to playing when you've got an unfair advantage.

Can we PLEASE create an "auto-cancle" feature so this stops happening?

Extra Terrestial Influence
So I think most of the world is in agreement that the universe is so big that life almost definitely exists on other planets. That question is kind of boring though. The real question is, have aliens had contact with earth in the present or past.
The results are in, and the evidence points to a resounding yes!

Why is there such an epidemic of cheating? I've had several games be paused and irreparably damaged by cheating investigations. Can anyone explain why people are so invested in winning that they won't abide by the rules?

Maniac 2020
Recent appointments to high office have created controversy among progressive, intelligent people. I'm talking about two things, of course. First of all, the election of Donald Trumpf as Leader Of The Free World (TM). Secondly, and no less controversially, the selection of a new Moderator who was not Maniac.

A Divide
I've seen horrible reactions these past 24 hours. Some celebrate that they have a champion, thinking he will bring this country to its greatest times. Others panic, fearing the same man will erode their rights and encourage persecution which will endanger their lives. Those whose views don't fall into that binary shirk away, fearing their voice is no longer welcome. This thread is about the lofty goal of uniting a further dividing nation.

this is for Condensation on rural inventors: Looking at today’s sophisticated high-definition television sets it is hard to imagine that their very foundation could have ever been conceived by a rural farm boy. Yet the legendary account of this farm boy’s inspiration for his image dissector occurred as he was plowing a field. His name was Philo Farnsworth and at that moment the idea that would become electronic television was born. Just like his 19th century counterparts, John Deere, Cyrus McCormick, Eli Whitney and George Washington Carver, one of the fathers of the modern television industry found inspiration from his rural environment.

That practice remains alive and well today. We see it in places like Blaine, Minnesota where Pam Turner invented the Spiral Eye™ Sewing Needle; Athens, Texas where Lesia Farmer invented products for the kitchen; Wake Forest, North Carolina where Michael Sykes invented a home building system; and Sonora, California where Julia Rhodes invented KleenSlate Concepts®, dry erase products. Today, in the age of the Internet, more inventions are collaborative efforts rather than creations in isolation like Farnsworth’s invention. But even with all that is available at the touch of a keystroke it is still important to have experts readily accessible to support today’s American innovators wherever they may be.

You know what the cause of divide is? Violent fucking liberals like this who beat up people because they're Trump supporters and then steal their car, and no mainstream media reports on it, and videos of it are being deleted from Youtube (censorship!)

The political indoctrination now goes as early as elementary school, and parents are teaching their children to beat up Trump supporters.

I understand it's infowars, but the video is from Fox.

I thought indoctrination was already that early. It hinges on instilling a particular sense of morality, which is most efficiently done in younger children.

However, many don't accept the notion, and responding to them as though they're dumb sheeps of the system doesn't help them see it.

Indoctrination isn't a one fell swoop soft of thing, and it's incredibly localized for the most part.

Since when is the federal government responsible for indoctrinating children when state and local school boards decide the vast majority of what goes into a public school curriculum?
leon1122 (190 D)
11 Nov 16 UTC
TrPrado, if you had ever gone to school in Los Angeles or any other large city, especially on the East and West coast, you wouldn't be saying that. Every teacher talks about overtly liberal issues and makes clear that they saw opposing views as the opinions of "bigots", and they openly attacked Donald Trump and acted like the apocalypse had come after Trump won.
leon1122 (190 D)
11 Nov 16 UTC
I never said it's the federal government that's doing the indoctrinating, but it is systematic, potentially at the university level where they train teachers.

Want to take bets on the count of dead directly resultant from Trump's actions?

Discounting the existential threat posed by global warming, I mean.

I think I'll be conservative and put $50 on 25 million.
"Can't wait until Trump causes a small-scale nuclear naval conflict in the south china sea :)"

"If it small scale. I happen to live within missle distance of North Korea's nukes. I am not interested in sacrificing my family to this man's ego."

Refugees and Asylum seekers
So i had a thought, under international law, those seeking asylum are entitled to protection if they have reason to fear for their life. Thus pretty much anyone fleeing the Syrian war should probably automatically be granted asylum.

What about LGBT folk from the US, fearing political repression and violence in the streets. Should we (europeans) open our borders?
