It's only those who choose to be losers that suffer greatly.
And here you enter into the realms of "aint I a stupid piece of sh*t scumbag". Not everyone is a big earner, not everyone is a leech on society, not everyone can afford insurance, not everyone had your oppotunities and a mother to hold ya hand. I cant begin to say how much of a f*king tw*t I think you are for that statement.
I surprised myself here by glancing in the mirror noticing a rare ungly glare on my face reading that from DarkMatter.
Any - ANY - respect he had earned in my books evaporated at this point.
You are rich, whoopde ******* doodle do - if you are then why aren't you helping people?
Look at Branston, Gates and the other money makers that are throwing all they can at trying to get rid of the problems we as a collective species has.
From past arguements with you I know you had a crap start in life - I have something similar right now - and I think you have lost touch with a life based on the essentials instead of affluance.

I dont get this quote. Just because you have money means that you are supposed to spend it on other people? I thought charity was supposed to be a voluntary thing? Why is it wrong that he should not go spend it on just shoes or some other trinket if its his hard earned money? And judging by what he said its mostly commision pay which is tough work (I dont think I could be a salesman).
Here DM is putting it like this is a normal wage, wasn't aimed at him specificly but that layer of America - if you have the money for a government run health policy why not do it?
You have a point though DM; perhaps the depth of laziness in America is too different to the British one for me to understand, I'll assume that as you live there you have a bettr grasp of the situation but saying things like that over here is a bad idea.... can't come up with an analogy but after the Tories sold off the Nationaised services in the 80's it's a VERY sensitive subject.

Okay watched the film, had a few tears in places.
Take note how people looked when they said "how much did that cost" - the canadian guy who lost his fingers looked like Moore claimed he was an alien.
The British - we were insulted by the idea of paying for it, as were the French.
Conclusion - we laugh at the current system before realising it is beyond a joke and that we pity those people, realy I do.
And like the ex-MP said, dare suggest to take that away and there would be a revolution and people taking to the streets, prove to me that you are British and you would support it and I will eat my hat.

I just read that the US Senate shot down a bill to increase the funding for the two wars currently underway. Apparently, it costs the US military 2.5 billion a week to maintain its operations. Somehow, they can justify spending billions upon billions to kill people, but not billions upon billions to help their citizens live?
Someone needs to take a step back and give this mentality a once over.
Europe realised this in the aftermath of WW2 - if we can afford to arm an empire and wage constant war for 4 years we can afford to help our own sick people.
