On a more serious note:  for those espousing universal health care, name a country of comparable population to ours which has a better universal health care system.  I thought so.

People like to use Norway as an example, let's compare:

- Population 5.5M, about 1/70th of ours

- Virtually all of the population lives along the ocean.  Basically, a series of medical facilities placed along the highway that runs that route covers almost everyone.  We are 2 dimensional, requiring a significantly more complex system.

- Norway's population is very homogeneous, whereas we have all ethnicities and their associated genetic issues.

- Obesity rate in Norway is 25%; here it is 45%

- Norway pays more in taxes

 

Bottom line is: it's a helluva lot more difficult than "Norway does it, why can't we?"

Canada?  (I honestly am not familiar with their system, I know the population is much smaller than us but bigger and more spread out than Norway)

Population about 40M, about 1/9 of ours.  Virtually everyone lives along the southern border.  People come to America for advanced medical needs, and much care is difficult if not impossible to get.  They have a program called Medical Assistance in Dying to help sick people come off of their medical expenses.

ETA:  Very high taxes, very low military expenses

Almost definitely Sarno.  Most long-term back pain is.   

Also, looking at that picture that gave Worms a woody, there is no way he would have a body like that without working out.  How debilitating was it?

Yeah the kid was full of sh1t. Traveling the world, hiking everywhere, had that dream six pack  … sounds pretty much the opposite of “debilitating.”

Probably just some snotty rich kid POS. But some chance he developed schizophrenia which does tend to really manifest at that age (early to mid 20s)

Seems odd that a shooting like this hasn't sparked debates about gun reform.  I don't think it did after Trump was shot either. 

Probably because it was a 3D printed gun, a handgun, and the suspect had no criminal history.

Here’s one for @Frozenbeernuts - Luigi has a new lawyer in NY, and she’s married to Diddy’s lawyer.  Also is the legal analyst for the Law & Order tv show

Seems like a great example on why all the gun talk from the left is pointless.

[TimHauck 2,598]

Old news I guess but not sure if this was discussed.  Looks like Luigi was laid off from TrueCar in 2023 but his mom apparently still thought he worked there as of 7/1/24 which was the last time she says she talked to him.

He really splits the leftoid retarded line between corrupt corporate globalists vs. leftoid lunatics. I wonder if a NYC jury will convict him. Chances are a few lovelorn 30-something AOC voters who want to provide conjugal visits will wind up on the jury, some may even be women.

I recommend he trims his eyebrows.

That's what I'm saying.... when he goes to trial, the jury pool that New York will select from includes a large number of weirdo leftoids.

You're correct, he wasn't yet.  You can substitute "powerful millionaire" for "billionaire" if it makes you feel better.  Point still holds.

Was that point that killing persons of substance, on video, to make a political point will get more discussion than killings for routine reasons, of relatively anonymous persons in the shadows will?

No, the point is that the people that run this country care more about themselves than others.

This is why you're such a terrible person.  I don't and I know lots of people that don't.  I wake up everyday thinking what I can do for others.  That's what good people do.

You can take in 10 illegal homeless people.  I'll expect an update on your progress tomorrow.

It's a way you can help others.  But let's try this.  What exactly have you DONE besides just "thinking" about helping others?

You guys act like it's strange to put others in front of yourself.  Very telling.

As far as me personally I always put my wife and kids first, I volunteer in my community, for local non profits, church, extended family, etc.  it's not a foreign concept unless of course you're a POS

So, no specifics.  Got it.  And you just described what everyone else does.  Looks at family first and move out from there, time and resources permitting.  Which is what the previous person said that you HAD to argue with.  No wonder you've been banned 7 times.

If you agree that most people think of others before themselves then why are you arguing with me? 

The previous person said everyone puts themselves first which is BS, then you jumped in with saying that it's true unless you house 10 illegals.  Maybe stay out of it next time.

yep, I wake up every single day like this

ok what do I need to do today, for my health, for my wealth, for my family

after that I then worry about what I can do for others, which I do alot of

then I realize people like you exist and think why bother
