Fact is, ANYONE can afford medicalCARE, but not everyone can keep pace w/ the rising cost of full health insurance coverage.
Quote:You've been proven wrong on this in thread after thread, your inability to admit that, you're inability to stay in the thread after being proved wrong, is none of my concern. You have already eloquently proven time and again that you are woefully detached from reality. Debating anything with you is an act of futility to the same degree as debating with PirateNews, I dub thee PirateRaptor.
And exactly how is our economy 'slippiing ' ?
Quote:As of 2005 4.7%, for those interested the percentage for the US was 5.1%.
What's your unemployment rate ?
Quote:Detached from reality as always. Germany, France and the UK are in the top five of world economies, Italy and Spain appear in the top 10. Unless you mean the ex-soviet block nations that Europe is taking on board, in which case all I can say is we in Europe feel it is important to help those less fortunate than us, and not just use them as cheap labour to make our overpriced shoes.
And if you're economy is getting stronger, well jolly good! Most EU countries coundn't do much worse, so doing any better is a good start!
Quote:Wasn't a diatribe, dear (I know you get a thrill from my calling you that), it was pretty much just some fairly harmless fun poking at your personal attacks, you don't have a sense of humour, I get that, that's why you're a conservative.
Sounds like you enjoyed typing your diatribe over my alleged homophobia.
Quote:Which is, I'm sure very evident by thinking accusing someone of being gay is an insult.
I'm cool w/ the sly types, btw. Folks, as they say, are still folks.
Quote:I just thought it was funny, and:
Still, the whole British/ gay thing didn't start or end with me, and I just thought you'd get a kick out of it. Seems like ya did.
Quote:I never validated the stereotype as you did. I merely pointed out that your racial stereotyping was stupid, silly and probably insulting if I didn't know ya and realise you were just trying to start a flame war because you know you're wrong and you need an exit strategy so you don't have to admit it. I just used a personal example in the hopes you'd actually get it, oops, guess not, oh well.
Keeping things limited like that would be ever so helpful to my simple, neolithic American male brain.
Quote:Well that's kinda hypocritical coming from you.
Back to the point, I simply suggested that it'd be nice if you could back up your claims.
Quote:Actually I've been validated by your need to start personal insults because, that's all you got, no biggie.
If for no other reason, to see what it is you think Bush, or any other politician could claim that would sink to the level of what Edwards uttered. Again, you can't, and I stand validated. No biggie.
But, since I'm as usual the bigger man:
Quote:
You could start with ONE example.
Quote:It was quotes like these that brought the US and other into war with Iraq, a war that has ended tens, hundreds of thousands of lives. We still have not found any WMD. We've stopped looking. At best Mr Bush exaggerated the certainty of there being weapons, because if they're not there must be doubt to they're existence. This and quotes like it got people killed, at worse John Edwards quote gave some false hope.
Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.
I realise that too you false hope is far worse than lost lives, as long as the

"No where are folks here being left to die on the streets for not being able to afford medical care." Except every day downtown in any major city.
"I plainly stated that, regardless of his political affiliation, I'd still have equal distain for his comments." I presume you have equal disdain for Nancy Reagan's support for Federal funding of embryonic stem cell research? In a completely non-partisan way of course.

I would like to put a few words in, first I need to losen my belt after a case of Ole Milwaukees Best well you understand, these brits are gay and I can prove it. First off their leader is a queen, their music is called queen, and they talk about smoken fags. And in the name of Sam Hill if that ain't Gay well I don't know what is. Also Mr Shakespear when you describe cowboys as Ignant use a capitol I.

I disagree w/ the former 1st lady on this issue, but then she never claimed a vote for candidate x would lead to a cure for M.S. , as Edwards dispicably claimed. That is where the distain comes from, and not merely one being for/ against Fed funding of ESC research. I figured you'd be smart enough to know the difference. Alas, I was wrong.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I thought his psychic show was pretty dumb. Maybe he'll make a better president than a psychic.

Damn, are all you queer Brits this wordy when you respond ? Is it the queer thing or the Brit thing? Or both ? Anyways, I'll do this quick like.
Healthcare: Monthly coverage for Insurance can cost around $250 a month, and more. There are free clinics and generic meds that folks can take advantage of. Unless you're talking catastrophic med care, anyone can afford medical ATTENTION here. The level of HC available for even the poorest here surpasses the best care found around the world. Please, don't talk about that which you have no clue.
Our unemployment rate was at 4.4 %, and now is around 4.5%. It's no wonder you had to go back to 2005 to get your stats. The 'poor' here still have color tv's, own their own car, and live a higher standard of living than 3/4 of the world.
Quote:Huh ? I never even racially stereo typed anyone. I know I'm not wrong , and I have no idea what you're blabbing on about.
I merely pointed out that your racial stereotyping was stupid, silly and probably insulting if I didn't know ya and realise you were just trying to start a flame war because you know you're wrong and you need an exit strategy so you don't have to admit it.
You still can't back up your claims, so I win that one. Again.

Hahahahahaha..... My unemployment rate is bigger than your unemployment rate. Bush and Edwards can suck it.
As can anybody who actually believes that their economy will surpass America's economy. Don't you realize that we're all merging into one world economy as we bicker?
That's why they started printing our bills all sort of fruity Monopoly money colors, instead of our tried and true Greenbacks.... They're priming us for the one world currency.
Welcome to the New World Order, comrades.

Rap,
Can we talk? I was giving you some credit for at least standing up for your beliefs. But I know you don't believe in clearly delusional statements like this: "The level of HC available for even the poorest here surpasses the best care found around the world."
So please, stop sawing, come back off the end of the branch, and join us in an adult conversation.
