is it algorithm censoring things? or is it poor programming that doesn't remove questions soon enough?

In the US the healthcare system now includes a mandate that each person must have healthcare or pay a fine/tax. Since Corporations are legally considered persons does that make them subject to the tax as well? If they don't pay it can we jail it/them? But seriously what is the situation for corporations there since they are legally people don't they have the same obligations?

I was reading in yahoo news that china was warning the US about our war games with the Philippines in the South China sea. Is it more posturing or do you think their military is taking advantage of their succession discussions or am I worrying over nothing or what?

Just curious as to motivations is all.

I accidentally clicked in the wrong spot on a question and now it lists me as finding the question interesting when that is the exact opposite of my feelings and would like it undone.

I had heard from a co-worker that in Canada fireworks were forbidden and couldn't be used on their independence day but that because of a fear of not being politically correct Indians could celebrate their independence day with them. Was she just making stuff up gossiping or is this a real and true thing?

strange that in japan people freak out over suicide pacts while in the states they are freaking out about a pregnancy pact? I find it odd personally that the creation of life is treated with abhorrance at all, though I understand that those girls are simply incapable of supporting the families they are beginning. Anybody have any thoughts?

I just thought it odd that while looking into the news I would find two articles involving pacts with such opposite objectives being treated with near equal notability/notoriety.

Seriously, Venezuela and Ecuador are throwing fits because Colombia killed a rebel leader. Sure they can claim their sovereignty was violated but honestly anybody who has paid any attention to colombia can tell you that the rebels in that country are vermin of the lowest sort. It bothers me that venezuela is mobilizing troops to it's borders to "protect it's sovereignty". Who are they trying to kid? They're trying to protect TERRORISTS!!! so my question is this doesn't it seem politically foolish to take actions that clearly back murdering criminals? And why does the world let these two countries get away with these shenanagans? Shouldn't the UN step in and do something?

I've heard of superstition and know what it is but what's stition? I know what super is and it's clearly combined with this (to me) unknown stition. Any ideas anybody?

I do apologize for a question that has probably already been asked, but I'm lazy so for all my fellow vagitos/as help me out,

Which religions allow killing and in what context. If you don't want to make a huge list, I'm cool with that, in fact I'd appreciate just one thoughtful answer on a religion you're familiar with. Thank you.

Is it better to do something practical for your own convenience that you would consider amoral or wrong, or to suffer and maintain your ideals? ie, is it better to abort so that you could finish school or advance in career, or save a life though the quality of life for you and the saved one will be much lower? Is it better to kill a competitor for resources or let them live and face harsher competition (think governmental styles or in terms of businesses bankrupting each other)?

I was reading time magazine (sep 10,2007 issue) and it stated that america is the most heavily armed country in the world. Not militarily speaking but in regards to civilians. The number given was 90 firearms for every 100 citizens. The next closest was india with 4 per 100. My question is this, do you think that it is good or bad? Should we as a country reduce the amount of firearms or just go for at least one for everybody? This is kind of political but if you could ignore that aspect and let me know why you think we have so many guns that would be better. Thank you for your time.

Why do so many religous people believe their own perspective and interpretations are the only way? why do they have to strike down other options?
