And people actually think Obama is a muslim? You know there is a reason why the world image of the States is a lumbering idiot. It’s a shame, because there are a hell of a lot of smart people in the country.

Worry about England and your great health care system. Average wait for a gall bladder operation in England, 9 months.

I had mine done in less than two weeks and it could have been sooner if I didn’t have to adjust my office schedule. How is that waiting in the parking lot in an ambulance for hours because the mandated no one waits over 4 hours law?

You are truly a fool.

Yeah it’s true. I’m a fool. It’s not like me and everyone else I know has had pretty much universally good experiences with the NHS or anything. I’m such an idiot for getting first rate professional health care for free.

This is not to diminish the awfulness of what you said though. Those things do happen and they should not. The NHS isn’t perfect. I’ve worked in a hospital so I know first hand how bad things can be.

so you are a fool. I have health insurance, and tell me why I should get lesser care to care for someone who does not have it. why shoudl my care be diluted.

You have good experiences if you are young and healthy and don’t need it. Get a problem and you ahve a problem.

Why should you care? You are an asshole.

Anyone who DOES want national health care is batshit insane I reckon.

Why would I chose a service provider – wait, scratch that. Why would I want to be forced to have a provider chosen for me? Does the government know my body better than me? What the fuck do a bunch of lifetime politicians know about health and medicine?

Actual measured statistics vs. “I have had good experience.” Hmmm, yeah the recorded measured statistics MUST be wrong if your experience was good.

And just so you know, genius, it still gets paid for with money from your pocket (assuming you have a job) so how is it free?

I’m not going to throw around any more insults because evidently you guys are just ignorant of the situation in the UK. (Ignorant in the literal, not pejorative sense).

Firstly, I’m not going to just take randomly quoted statistics; show me the report. But that is a by-the-by, everyone here know the waiting lists are appalling.

Secondly, yes, it comes out of our pockets (well not mine, I’m a student). It’s called tax. You get taxed too right? My tax goes towards something like that which can help me, so I’m happy with that.

Thirdly, we have private health care in this country too. What this means is people have CHOICE. If you cannot afford private, you get the NHS. If you can, you can. As a matter of fact many people who can afford private use the NHS anyway because despite all your statistics, it’s still one of the best health services in the world.

So actually, I’m not telling anyone to get “lesser health care”. Keep your private stuff, we have.

As for government bods running things they know nothing about, well every country has that problem. Education and the curriculum here is another example.

Additionally, I find it hilarious that people consider Obama to be radically left. He would be considered probably a little left of centre in this country.

And one more thing, Republicans are a lot more religious, right? (Pun intended). I consider all religious people to be on a cline of crazy.

You’re a student, hahaha! No wonder you don’t have a clue, hahaha!

Being a student doesnt prove you don’t have a clue. Making this sort of connections proves it

I was thinking of starting a thread on this. But I suppose bumping the old one is good.

I wonder if the conservatives on here support Powell or Darth?

:wink:

I’m not sure yet, but I do know Powell is NOT the answer. Neither is a talk show host.

I thinks Powell, would be OK for the Republican Party but he is not far enough to the right for the Jesus only Party

Really?..Pure Propaganda. “The cable news networks” …include who, FOX and ONLY FOX? A single network. Otherwise it was covering “Dispicaple”, “Unameircan”,“Teabagging” with laughs all over the CABLE “news” networks.

CNN’s Anderson had the best line…“Its hard to talk when you’re teabagging”…he certainly would know.

So… you don’t think that CNN stuff was “pure Propaganda”? Have you thought this one through?

Glad you are candadian.

ummmm… I’ll bite. Was this an insult?[/quote]

I forgot about this post. Rockscar, can you explain please? Was this an insult?

Don’t you think it would be funny to have Powell as Republican nominee running against incumbent Obama?

Dude, if you need to ask, then I laugh hard-er. I’m just glad you can’t vote in my country. I assume you are a Canadian citizen.
