Translation: I’m in college, no one else has been to college, I’m smarter than you.

Reality: Dozens of schools have loud professors of economics, going to one of those schools doesn’t make you one of them, and these loud economists by and large have a greed agenda. Some people have actually gone to school and also been around the world a little while, worked to support themselves and families and gotten old enough to experience some aging.

Wtf are neocons doing in the scene? You’re corrupting the market!!! Pray for forgiveness.

You are 100% full of shit pragmatist. Any bitch that claims to be “currently studying under the some of the most eminent economists in the world” is either lying or aspiring to exclude the populace in order to become a member of ‘the elite’ I hope the RIAA gets you.

I never threatened anyone, but since you’re right next door that may require revisiting.

“I must ask for an actual dollar/euro amount however” LOLOLOL

Why don’t you go enter a prayer group at Foxnews.com ? Your time is over Jesustard, we’re coming, and you’re taxes are going to be raised above pre Bush levels.

Thank you for trying to answer my question; I must ask for an actual dollar/euro amount however. Without that, the 40% number is meaningless.

I also did not ignore most of your points. You err so often, I do not have the time nor inclination to address every single one of them, as much as I would like to. Your statements are sometimes rife with prejudice and racism.

I know Boston. I did my undergrad across the river in Cambridge. I’m currently studying under the some of the most eminent economists in the world in Chicago. This is not a conceit, this is fact. I ask you to open yourself to the idea that there are other, valid viewpoints out there that aren’t covered in the corrupted BBC.

Good luck.

Like I said earlier, I have lived there, I have to go there a couple of times a year too so I think I am pretty up to day on your lifestyles.

Uninformed? the irony hey? lol

How much am I paying for my healthcare? about 40% of my income, but with that I can a lot of other benifits too, my rubish (garbage) gets collected, pays for the police, fire services, ambulance (should I ever need one) to name a few things,(the stupid war in iraq, thanks to your monkey leader) the list is endless I can assure you.

I am not passionate about your healthcare system but I am passionate about poverty and equal opportunities. It is a shame that you being from such a wastern and modern country, you still have issues like you do. I also see that you have ignored most of my points in my earlier points because they probably make you feel uncomfortable. I wont go on telling you the same things over and over again.

One more thing before I bid my farewell (or adios as you might know it as (trust me, your country would collapse if you really closed the border to them))…… I am not trying to convince you that your country is a joke and most of you are brainwashed into believing you live in the land of opportunites. I am simply telling you that you need to wake up.

Bye for now.

I really don’t understand why you are so passionate about the issue of US health care if you don’t live here. If you feel we’re the joke of the world, you should be happy that we’re “destroying ourselves”. You and your “academically superior” city can have its opinion. I’m glad to see you are having a good laugh at us; makes up for your inadequacies, now, does it?

I do find it interesting that you relegate yourself to anecdotes when trying to argue your point. An academically superior person should know better than do that.

It’s amazing how uninformed you are for someone who claims to be so worldly.

Tell me something, do you know how much you’re paying for your health care?

how many of those 85% of people have had thier claims declined? like one eye is not needed etc? Or which finger is more important?

I suppose if people don’t claim that makes them satisfied? lol, okey dokey fella.

So you are saying that americans dont really give two craps about the poor? In other words no one is equal in america? You can try to justify all you what how great your country is however it is like hitler telling his people that the jews are not equal. It is a joke man.

The floods in new orleans showed the whole world what a joke your country is. (where did your GDP go then?) It is strange how your media are not showing the rest of the country how that city is still in tatters. We see it in other countries but it is not shown as widely in your country as it makes your “normal” fold feel uncomfortable.

I can also safely say that no one, not a single person, would be put in a taxi and left in the streets if they were not able to afford health care. I do believe that happens in america, it does in fact. You boast about your GDP being such a leader (you forgot to mention yoru deficit) in the world yet the poor are meant to fend for themselves? Give me a break!

That is the whole point in MM’s documentaries, he shows you what makes you feel uncomfortable about your own land. You know what I mean, if we can’t see it then it’s not our problem.

I can also safely say that being from my city, which is a world leading academic city, the topic of america is probably the most laughed at joke in history. You should come here to see for yourself, but if there was a mass influx of people leaving america to go abroad your government would issue a warning about flying so that you lot stay put.

You are building walls to keep the mexicans out? Why? because they make little compared to your people in macjob positions. I don’t think the canadians are rushing to come over, or any other western country to be honest.

The truth is that your healthcare system is a joke and you would have to live outside of the usa to understand that. Life in your little fantasy and carry on believing what you see in the hollywood productions if that makes you feel better.

Most people in the U.S. have health coverage. If you believe Michael Moore and his inflated numbers of 40 million uninsured, that leaves 260 million people with health care coverage. That means 85% are insured and only 15% of the people may not be insured. We already have the Medicare system to cover the elderly and the Medicaid system to cover the poor, so that 15% is mainly made up of working class people who may just need to work a little harder or spend a little less to afford coverage.

You are missing the point, that being the difference between the socialist system that Europeans and Canadians are burdened with, and the capitalist system that Americans enjoy. Most Americans would already admit that we are overtaxed already. The idea of forcing a huge, new tax everyone just to allow the few that are uninsured to receive coverage would not be received well.

Our capitalist system, which may have some flaws, was founded on rewarding individual effort, not the “carry everyone along” system that socialism promotes. As has been proven many times over, our system results in a more productive society. Our GDP is over $11 trillion a year. Japan is a distant second with $4.5 trillion. We’re doing something right.

And even with your accusations that the U.S. has such horrible conditions for the working people here, we still have to build huge walls on our border to slow down the flow of people trying to come here to work.

No, I have lived there, about 5 years in total and I am very glad I live in England.

I remember a family we knew whos daughter was hurt in a hit and run accident. It was quite serious. She was in hospital for 2 nights but should have stayed at least a month because of her injuries. Because her insurance would not pay for a long stay at the hospital her bed was taken to her house where she had to stay in the living room for 2 months. The nurse came around the check her every couple of days.

I find that disgusting to be quite honest. Only in america.

Now who’s prejudging whom?

Mate, you sound like a class a idiot, typical american. I bet you think the world owes you a favour you fucking moron.

Sure we pay our taxes (vat, income tax, council tax)as do you fucking idiots pay yours only they have different names. But you being a idiot probably thinks that if it does not have an american name then it must be wrong. I only read your post #70 and didnt bother reading the other one as your ignorance loosened my bowels.

You say things like “i am not paying for someone elses health care”. I suppose you want to pay for the “war” in iraq, the 10 million it costs (if not more) to protect that monkey running your country. Lets say someone in your family needs some surgery where it is not covered in your insurance because you forgot to register a cough you did when you were about 7 years old, in your application form, I take it you would be happy for someone in your family to lose a finger? leg? penis?

Honestly, americans like you make me laugh. Your whole country is one mighty prison with a population of zombies. Seriously man, take a trip elsewhere in a plane and look at your country from the outside. It is a joke. I know this reponse will be wasted on you but and you might think I am mentally unstable but hey. I will go have it checked out free with my doctor who is funded by the NHS

It’s becoming apparent that the folks here on this board aren’t leftists at all. They’re anarchists.

I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything less from a site such as this, though.
