ultimately the best system is the most efficient one [thats not the most efficient at extracting money out of hard working individuals] and usually private enterprise is the system is the most efficient and provides the standard of living to which we have all become accustom. The important thing is to recognise and be accepting where governments can be efficient to provide good outcomes. .

When Australia got its national health care I would have voted against it I inherantly shy against socialist policies by governments.
Now i would absolutely support it in Australia as Ive mentioned before we pay one and a half percent of our income and that pays for excellent health care for everyone. The sort of numbers I see on here for health insurance are absolute robbery.
When my wife went to hospital to give birth she got a privcate ward in a modern hospital, the best of care the first one being a ceasure the second natural. When checking out we signed a paper to say everything was payed by our one and a half percent yearly contribution. Mums also get 4 thousand per child to increase the birth rate. A problem in most western countries these days.

The JW dress code.....yuck
by JH inthis morning i took a long walk and happened to walk near by a small christian church.
and i could see them come out of the building after their meeting.
they were all dressed differently, some in clean sunday clothes, some in clean jeans, but no one in a suit like the jw's do.

I thought the JW women were sexy just because they dressed different to everyone else. There is nothing more ineresting too a man than hiding some bits. If a women has a mini skirt and bad legs sometimes she can hid it in JW mode by not wearing short skirt and be attractive to a man.
In the 70s people allways used to wear good cloths to church but times have changed. Men looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart.

If you are right about this Merry the Muslims have a lot of PR work to do in the future.
I would advise you to consider the implications of sharia law if you were living in an Islamic country especially if you arent a muslim.

Robdar I know youre heart is in the right place so excuse me if Im a bit too flippant about all of this.
If you go back far enough Allah was the Arabic moon god.
Is Allah downsizing Jihadists once got 72 virgins and some little boys thrown in for good measure .

Are Jehovah's Witnesses communists?
by ozziepost inthat was the title of a tract i recall distributing in the 1950s.
it responded to the demonising of so many people in the mccarthy period.
the answer seemed obvious at the time - no, dubs are anything but communists.

My first wife allmost became a JW and she commented a number of times to me that JW literature is just the same as communist literature

The problem with the Muslim religion is the oppression of other religions with their Sharia law. The word Infidel was originally a word used by the crusaders and was adopted by the Muslims. So that means we have all the rights to use that word in referring to Muslims.

16 year old girl HANGED in Iran
by Rabbit inthis is one of the saddest things i've read.
i could not help seeing parallels in jw & other 'high control' religions.
the wt even said at one time, "unfortunately, today we must obey governmental laws..." they were discussing the wonderful range of draconian punishments available under the mosaic law but, not to "christians" today.

Talking to someone today and he explained to me how in sharia law countries non muslims have to pay a tax just because they arent muslim. this happens in Iran by Jewish people and if it is not payed muslims have the right to slaughter because of the non payment. This arrangement also exists with the coptic christians in Egypt.
