    I said it's a country's job to look after it's citizens. Why would you not want that? What could possibly twist your mind so much that you think the world shouldn't be taking care of it's inhabitants? The only reason humans are where they are now is because they learned to help one another, and suddenly you want to go all dog-eat-dog. Fair enough, bring on the wars, let the most powerful among us survive and rule the planet.

    I understand. Capitalism on paper isn't as attractive as socialism. In practice socialism is always subjec to the mental makeup of the people running it. They are human and subject to the same personal motivations as the capitalists. What can make a capitalist system so dynamic is that it can provide the incentive for everyone to participate. To go with a small example look at the app store.

    Thank you for the intelligent reply.

    But I believe under the current health care package there would still be a private option available. So the government still has competition.

    Responding to an insult is not "stalking".

    If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

    And learn to spell. Jeez.

    That's more or less what I do. I generally rely on the NHS for scrapes and bruises, but I pay for private dental care, and if I end up with any serious medical conditions I'll ditch the NHS and pay for private treatment for that too.

    You've made about 30 spam posts tonight already, I'd be willing to bet a few mods are considering you for time-out again.

    A government should take care of it's citizens, hence protecting natural rights. Now I would expect a little more from government than simply its strictest function but I just feel like citizens these days demand way too much from their government, driving it to the ground in the long run.

    @da shiz wiz: I stopped reading your post after the second profanity I read. Obviously if you have to get defensive and resort to that in an argument you've run out of valuable information to contribute.

    Good, he could use it.

    I would actually rather him be banned, but.... probably won't happen.

    Bahahahahahahhahahha thanks you made my day. If you read my long post you would see me picking your 'smart' post apart. Honestly, it was so pathetic. You didnt even reread it before posting it, did you?
    Oh I'm sorry I swore. I'm going to hell. Please dont read it, you may become a bad person as well.

    Oh 'driving it into the ground in the long run' L.M.F.A.O. We expect too much? WE ARE PAYING FOR IT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TAXES ARE?

    So you're acknowledging all the spamming you've been doing? At least we know you deserve the punishments.

    Thank you.

    BTW, AaronAMV, you're in the group, but if you say one more thing to make me mad, I'm gonna....get mad.
    And you won't like me when I'm mad.
