I thought it was important to share this morning’s events because I was particularly struck by it. I hope this affects you like it did me. —- ps I’m sorry I’ve neglected the videos (again). Know that I’m working on it and I will have an answer video for you soon.

@stargateproductions Everybody here in Canada loves universal health care. It’s one of the best things about our country. It’s a basic human right.
@BornWithoutReligion I know this is 6 months late, but they mockingly claimed they have a right to another person’s “time, money and attention”. Leaving money aside for a moment (since you dealt with it so well) the healthcare professionals are THERE to have their time and attention used up. They ARE getting paid for the work, whether the patient is directly paying for it or the government.
You are attacking me assuming that I do not do my part to help my fellow human being out. And no I’m not attacking you, you are doing just fine on your own, so you need no help from me.
Audacity = boldness or daring, esp. with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional thought, or other restrictions.
Please learn the meaning of words before you use them, because the word audacity fits you like a glove.
@firenearth78 Eat shit. You could feed many people who are going to die with the money you spend on internet service and you have the audacity to attack me. Fuck you.
@UcanbeGOD
You really are a sad and smell little person, and thank for showing that you do not care about anyone. If more people thought like you there would be less people in the world.
@firenearth78 I don’t give a shit about abortion. And if you are so concerned with people dying then why the fuck don’t you give up your health care and use that money to feed starving people. Go fuck yourself.
@UcanbeGOD
So you are say that you would rather let some die then spend you time and attention and money to save their life. Wow you are a horrible person, I could not be as evil as you even if I tried.
Just like a right winger you go ape shit over abortion calling it murder, but you can care less about a 1-100 year old person dying because of lack of healthcare services.
The system that we have had is not healthcare it is health we don’t care. People think that health is about entitlement and in some ways it is, everyone is entitled to care. When you put money before the care then you have not the right to call what you do care.
Let make public school the same way healthcare is in this country right now, and then all the tea baggers well be crying for socialization of services.
I cost about 12,000 per child a year to be in public school.
@inuyashaxx Ok so your profile says you are in college. Were you taking classes at the time?
How old were you?
What was the reason for the lapse?
Were you working at the time? How many hours a week?
@FEChariot Maybe you need a good comparison to see this. I went to the doctor recently, but I actually needed to go months ago. My health insurance under my parents had lapsed about a year ago, so I had to wait and go to a walk-in clinic. The charge, to see the doctor and get medication, was $45. I was unable to go, for months, because we couldn’t spare that $45 dollars. So for some people, $60 dollars is a lot, and sometimes it’s too much.
@inuyashaxx That is a very amiable and charitable thing to say. However, it is also completely unrealistic. You couldn’t take a date to McDonald’s under $10. Try taking a family of 4 to a dismal restaurant like Bennigan’s for under $60 much less any place with good food. $60 is not that much money regardless of one’s ability to spend it.
Your profile says you are in college. I bet you work hard for your grades. Is that right?
@FEChariot 60 dollars isn’t “nothing” to the millions of people who work in the US in minimum or close-to-minimum wage jobs. Mabe I’m just different than you; I was raised to understand the value of money, which is why I don’t spend it frivilously. I’d rather eat a 10 dollar dinner and put the 50 in taxes towards universal healthcare than spend it all on myself.
@inuyashaxx I have spent more than $60 on a single bicycle tire. $60 is nothing if you have a job. Were you trying to make a point other than, “wow?”
@inuyashaxx Great we can halfassed beg our officials whom most of us didn’t want in office in the first place to stop taxing us. I don’t recall taxes going down at all and I certainly see where government continues to want more although many people don’t want to give it to them such as healthcare.
@inuyashaxx Its not my definition it is THE definition, I didn’t just make that up out of thin air! And allot of people have been happy with allot of arrangements such as Nazi Germany or slavery etc. They must be ok if most people are ok with them? This is a classic fallacy, appeal to consensus.
@UcanbeGOD We also agree to it because if there’s a tax we don’t like, we have mechanisms for correcting it. We have legislatures, courts, a legal framework exsists for dealing with grievances. You can’t argue with someone who’s “stealing” from you about what they’re taking, how much, and what they do with it. You can do that with the government.
@UcanbeGOD You mean like how you haven’t understood after I’ve explained it to you? Yeah, that is mighty frustrating.
If your definition of theft is just that someone takes something from yu without permission, then great, they’re stealing from you. But the rest of us agree to taxation because it pays for goods and services we’d all be needing to buy anyway, and it has the side benefit of ensuring quality and accessibility. Most of us are happy with that arrangement.
@inuyashaxx Not everyone just people who don’t understand a basic concept even after it has been explained to them.
@UcanbeGOD Then everyone’s a dumbass except you. Congratulations, I’m sure you and your freshman-level economics professor are very proud.
@inuyashaxx Its money taken by force PERIOD. Just because the mafia decides what to do with my money afterwards doesn’t make it any different. I could force you to pay for any number of goods and services but if you can’t choose to keep your money then its theft if you don’t want me to take it. No matter what “good” thing might come of it if I don’t want you to take it, its theft. You’re a dumbass.
@UcanbeGOD Taxation isn’t robbery because you get back not just what you put in, but much more. The relatively small amount of money you pay in taxes could never, if left in your hands, provide you with police and fire services for your personal safety, nor a large military, an advanced air force, or a nuclear navy to provide for the defense of your country. It couldn’t privde you with the schools you attend or the libraries you use or the roads you use to reach them.
@inuyashaxx Tell me how taxation is not theft?
@UcanbeGOD Toodles indeed. You constructed a strawman argument and then proceeded to knock down your own strawman and declare victory. Forcing me to sell all of my possessions to feed a few people is categorically NOT what taxation is, leading me to believe you must be massively uninformed. Then again, this wouldn’t be the first time a libertarian has made a disingenous comparison between something like the food stamp program and actual robbery.
@inuyashaxx I think food is a universal right, it is more urgent than healthcare so my plan is to take from you everything not deemed essential by me to pay for other peoples food. Agreed? Oh wait, you could have done this yourself but you chose not to? Why is that, is it because you value your time and money more than other peoples lives? Yeah. See, you value your PC and clothes more than other people collapsing in the dirt for lack of food. In other words they’re not your problem.
Toodles!
@UcanbeGOD Uh, I live in a major metropolitan area in the US, and the city’s fire department is run and funded by the municipal government FDNY, the fire department of New York City, the largest one in the nation, is also government run by the city. The same with Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and any other city I looked up, and that took five seconds of Googling to find out.
