IS gleefully murder British Taxi Driver Alan Henning

Why the crude oil market of course. Do you have a point or just an endless supply of stupid questions?

 

The term is "Oligopoly" and in the case of the Medical college it would be more of a monopoly as they control the "supply" of Doctors.

I have trouble believing that you even have one College level course in economics, never mind a "Masters" as you claim.

Did they teach you nothing about supply and demand in the numerous number of economics courses that you claim to have attended ?

 

no point really. just seeing if you would answer my pointless questions. lol

 

I'm not the one claiming "Government Oligopolies" (note your capitalization) run the nation.

 

It's always best to take things with a grain of salt. Like good reporters, best to have three independent and verified references before believing something to be true.

 

Nope, there are thousands of independent medical schools, by definition NOT a oligopoly.

You are the one clueless. Oligopolies have a few companies dominating the market. Automobiles are an oligopolistic market. Add just 3 or 4 firms equal to GM or FORD and the market would cease to be oligopolistic. Medical colleges numbering in the 1000s are NOT an oligopolistic market.

Whats the relevance of supply and demand do your claims

Notice how far you've run from them since I first responded to this claim. Notice how none of it even addresses my response.

You've addressed none of this and instead simply claim

Formulate a rational argument that doesn't consist of telling me what I don't know. If you (*)(*)(*)(*)ing can.

 

Who said anything about a conspiracy. That Oligopolies influence Government is not some big secret. It is a statement of fact. What exactly do you think lobbyists do in Washington ? Why do you think politicians on both sides of the Isle get such huge campaign donations from the Oligopolies? Do you think the give this money for nothing ?

Why is it that we have no Campaign finance reform. Why is it that insider trading is legal for Congressmen but not for the rest of us schmo's

Just because you do not seem to like these facts is not reason to start name-calling.

 

I give up... I should have done so long ago. I did not say medical colleges. The Term "Medical College" when used how I used It refers to groups like the American Medical Association and other affiliates.

The fact that unions have influence has little to do with the fact that the Oligopolies also have influence. The Defense industry is a huge Oligopoly with tremendous influence.

I am done flogging this dead horse.

The American Medical Association controls all doctors and dictates what they can do and what they cannot do.
Doctors can pump ever more expensive and harmful drugs in people.
They cannot advise people on the causes of their problems nor offer any solution that conflicts with the AMA cut, burn and poison dogmas.

 

Sooooo are you trying to claim the AMA is an oligopoly? Or you just dashing off after some irrelevant tangent?

 

Generally the American Medical Association is referred to as the American Medical Association and not the "Medical College". And the AMA represents thousands of independent Drs. A trade Association, NOT a monopoly. NOT an "Oligopoly". And NOT a damned bit of relevance to your claims-

or my response to them.

 

Other than mending my broken bones, I don't have any use for the practice of medicine, but, I think I would prefer the AMA to unregulated markets in the practice of medicine.

 

Thats Islam as it is today.

 

The beheading of the unbelievers was a tradition started by Muhammad in the 7th century. Islam as it has always been.

 

Beheading has been a common form of execution in Europe and the Mediteranean countries for over a 1000 years before Islam came along.

http://www.capitalpunishmentuk.org/behead.html
Beheading with a sword or axe goes back a very long way in history, because like hanging, it was a cheap and practical method of execution in early times when a sword or an axe was always readily available.
The Greeks and the Romans considered beheading a less dishonourable and less painful form of execution than other methods in use at the time. The Roman Empire used beheading for its own citizens whilst crucifying others.

Beheading was widely used in Europe and Asia until the 20th century, but now is confined to Saudi Arabia, and Iran. One man was reportedly beheaded in Iran in 2003 – the first for many years. It remains a lawful method in Qatar and Yemen, although no executions by this method have been reported.
Beheading continued in Britain up to 1747 (see below) and was the standard method in Norway (abolished 1905), Sweden (up to 1903) and Denmark (last in 1892) and was used for some classes of prisoners in France (up until the introduction of the guillotine in 1792) and in Germany up to 1938. All the European countries that previously used beheading have now totally abolished the death penalty.
China also used it widely, until the communists came to power and replaced it with shooting in the 20th century. Japan too used beheading up to the end of the 19th century prior to turning to hanging.

 

Obviously. Wasnt until Islam came along that it became a tradition ordained by allah, an Islamic tradition.
