It would only drive up costs if it hadn't been planned well. As I said, the government can put a cap on how much companies can charge for healthcare costs and, if privatisation was the route the government wanted to take, then they'd have to do it right and set the cap at a reasonable price...

If the government could properly manage it (I doubt a Labour government could) then, hell yeah, privatise everything. None of it has to be so expensive that only the super rich can afford anything. If a government was committed to privatisation they could easily put a cap on the cost of...

I'm glad Russell T. Davies isn't writing for Doctor Who anymore. He's awful. This season is the one I've enjoyed the most from New Who. It was consistently good, right up until the last two episodes. I was a bit dubious about Tate at first, but she actually turned out to be a decent actress and...

No I'm not in the highest tax bracket, I understand what taxes pay for, I've accepted that I have to pay for the less fortunate and I don't mind paying for the less fortunate. It's the lazy dole scum and the teenage mothers that got knocked up so that they can get council houses and child tax...

Cheers.

I don't like universal health care. I'm in the UK and I'd much prefer the American system. Of course eveyone has the right to health care, that's a given. However, I don't think it's fair that people who work hard have to pay for other people's health care via tax. It annoys me greatly that I...

No. They're not our actions. We can atone for the sins of our ancestors if we want to but I don't think we should be obligated to do so. I wouldn't because I wasn't responsible for any of it.

Fact should always be the driving force behind a debate. Always. Emotions have no place because they are subjective and differ from person to person making it very difficult to settle an argument. Facts are always objective. They've been established and can't be argued against with emotion...

Absolutely brilliant game. Best game out at the moment. The story is intense. The graphics are amazing. The gameplay doesn't really add anything new but I think by now that people aren't playing MGS solely for the gameplay. You must be playing for the story. The ending sequence is beautiful...

I read that the FF games all take place in the same universe and in the same timeline, rather than different or parallel universes so it's down to your own interpretation and ideas. If you want Shinra to be an ancestor of the Shinra Company founders, then that's all good.

The Al Bhed Psyches seem to be consistently difficult throughout the game. I had lots of trouble with them.

I think Ruby is the strongest. If you use KotR on him he responds with Ultima. He can get rid of your characters with that sand trap thing. I think his physical attacks are stronger too.

Thanks very much. :)

Cloud. He's got such a good story. He's powerful at the beginning and then becomes even stronger after the revelation. Much better than Zack I think, though he's still good.

I think Lulu's or Wakka's from FFX were the hardest. Dodging lightning on the Thunder Plains got really annoying, especially if you got to 150 and then got hit and had to start all over. Wakka's could be annoying if your Blitzball tournaments fell at awkward times.
