You're right, I wasn't stalking you in person. This is because I am reasonably adjusted enough not to cross multiple state borders chasing girls. Lonestar, I don't know you. I've not had the privilege of meeting you. I'm not going to say that 'you are X' because I don't know you. That's not fair to you. I could go around and talk to other folks on the forum who know you better and then say you are X.

But what's the point? Even if I'm right it's all, "so what, yeah I'm an ass", but asses can be right.

And sometimes so can loony tunes paul supporters.

It's just a factual statement. I'm not going to say anything about you in public unless I'm damned sure I saw it and heard it myself.

And honestly, that post kinda jives well with your "living in a fantasy land" field you give off in posts. Well, now you're assuming that how I am in person is the same as I am on Apolyton.

I'm not sure what you mean by that statement. You were making an assumption about my motivations. If I didn't enjoy that part of Texas, why would I choose to stay with someone who was a huge fan of it, and experience it all?

I went to Texas A&M for a year. I lived in Texas for less than a year when I was like 2. I am frequently in Texas because I have family there, but I've never lived in Texas for longer than a year. Most of my adult life has been split between san Diego and Virginia. Interesting. So why do you identify with the state so strongly? "Lone Star" and all? I've only been here closing in on two years now. I like Texas as it is, and I don't believe I have the right to change it. I left because I was very unhappy with Canada for years. Even before I started posting on Apolyton and that was 10 years ago.

I was clinically depressed after my second year of university and discovered Poly about a year or so afterwards. Poly was a haven for me, as an opportunity to talk with really smart people. I ended up switching to a history major and decided I wanted to be a teacher.

I worked, saved up and graduated in 2007. I wasn't happy with school, felt like a fish out of water. Looked for work up in Canada, and they changed the curriculum on me, around the time that I graduated. For me to work as a teacher meant teaching stuff that I don't believe in or agree it.

Texas has a few advantages, jobs for teachers, an excellent curriculum, and, most importantly for me, a chance to live with people that believe the same things I do. I don't have that in my family, my family isn't Christian. Here in Texas I don't have to apologize for my faith, I work with people who are all pulling the same cart together. I never had that before.

That is why I am here in Texas, I really enjoy the work that I do and the people that I work with.

So, by your own admission you would need some kinda of public healthcare option if, say, you got a serious case of cancer? And you would be perfectly okay with dying from said chronic condition? Yeah, I sure would be. Actions have consequences. It's not fair for Americans to have to pay for my health care coverage. I should damn well cover myself, and if I can't afford it then I have to do without.

But you'd also be okay with throwing other people under the bus, despite your "Christian Faith"? Not at all. I think Christians have an obligation to care for each other. If someone was sick and needed care, and whatever, I would help them however I could. Roughly 1/4 of the hospitals in Texas are owned by the Catholic church. That's where my tithes are going. All I ask is that the government lets us keep running the hospitals and we will pay for them ourselves. They'll treat anybody in need.

Man. Well, at least that stacks up with your boy Ron Paul, who let the guy who ran his 2008 campaign website die because he couldn't afford healthcare. I like Paul, agree with him on some things, disagree with him on other things. But he gets the financial situation right.
