Men Win
I agree with most everyone in that this discussion is pretty pointless and that each gender has some obviously different advantages over the other, but for the sake of argument, if we simply are talking about sexes, I would have to say that males win because they can spread their genes much easier and more frequently than females. Life is all about passing your genes down from generation to generation and survival of the fittest and all that nonesense, so it makes sense that the most...

First, we should define universal healthcare as minimum access to basic healthcare services (preventive care, emergency care, standard procedures, etc.) in a timely manner to everyone in a country. If that is the case, then I think universal healthcare IS possible... but I agree that only if certain requirements are met. I feel like under this definition (or that which is mostly talked about as the definition of 'universal healthcare'), that most would agree it does exist in other...

First off, there are some statements that people said that I would like to quickly dispute... As was already disputed earlier (but I would like to re-iterate), you definitely CANNOT memorize for the MCAT. After a reasonable amount of studying (i.e. reading all the very basic content once or twice), there is absolutely no correlation between how much someone knows (how many facts or how much that person has memorized) and how well he or she does on the MCAT. As was pointed out, this is...

You really need both... but since you see the same faces over and over again in the poker championships, it seems like skill matters much more luck

Sorry Fariz, but U of A beats ASU in athletics (you may have better football, but we have better basketball... and honestly, whats a better sport, football or basketball?) and in academics (the amount of national merit scholars by no means is an even reasonable measure of the quality of the academics at an institute [furthermore, ASU has more national merits simply because it gives them more money]... U of A has more research money than ASU and is ranked higher by US News than ASU). So the...

I definitely agree with you that minimum access is not enough, and you give great examples of cases in other countries where this minimum access universal healthcare is obviously not achieving its goal of improving overall health. I also agree with you on everything you said about countries that advertise having 'free healthcare' and socialized medicine, and believe that those are not very good systems and would never even remotely be possible in the US. It is important to make...
