Guest Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Some questions for posters 42 thru 47. Have you ever traveled beyond the bounds of Broome County? Other than DC or NYC what foreign country have you lived in or visited? (nam vets exempt, you probably enjoyed 5 countries) What about the USA has caused you to hate this Country so much? I'm a good percentage of those posts, I don't think anything I said was particularly anti-American, I just pointed out that the Myth that Canadians flee in masses here to seek medical treatment is exactly that, a Myth. I am posts 43, 45,46. People latch onto the few anecdotal cases of Canadians coming here, when in reality they don't really come here that much for medical treatment, and when they do it's often for a specific surgery. I never said we didn't have great doctors, I just said a lot of Americans cannot afford them and that Canadians aren't running south for treatment every other day.

Guest Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sounds like you need to take that up with the criminals. How many of them would you prefer lived next to you? It doesn't help that criminal scum from other countries come here because we are the richest nation in the world. Plus there are plenty of gun laws to disarm the citizens to make them better victims. While we may be the richest nation on Earth, as far as a GDP goes. We have one of the largest inequalities of wealth in the world, our gini coefficient is dismal. Meaning that a majority of our wealth is concentrated. Also, the majority of our criminals are in jail related to drug offenses, many of them marijuana.

Guest Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 You are right. Only the ones who don't want to die from their condition before they can get treated come here. And the ones who need cutting edge techniques and approaches when thier antiquated system can't cure them. Die from their condition? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_infant_mortality_rate They have a lower infant mortality rate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy A higher life expectancy rate. If less of their infants die, and they live longer, can you please tell me how their medical system is failing so completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now-a-days anecdotal eveidence is more reliable than Polls. Sorry, anectotal surveys are more accurate! No apology for them but my comments never mentioned directly "anti-Americanism". Thats for your conscience to decide. ( those ten baht nights were grand were they not?) Maybe if I was a Cuban, Kenyan or Libyan my priorities would be different. But I'm not!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Calm down. Relax. Don't do anything you will regret. Take your prozac and calm down. You are probably scaring people as they read your angry words. Did you already spend your welfare check on 40's of beer and your newport cigs? Doesn't your medicaid cover anti-depressants and your lithium? Actually, I have no insurance, I make to much to qualify for Medicare and family health plus. And as well as many others out the there works insurance is to costly to pay on our own. My fiance used to stay at home (mom) but was force to work full time to get what we need and want without racking up credit. I don't drink or smoke and the on so called drug I've done is weed. I don't live in the city and actually own my own home. Cars are paid for as we'll. Hell I don't even have a credit card. I pay for everything with cash, yes cash. I have no need to take any meds, beside Tylenol. there you go thinking you know who your talking too. At least I have better thought out responses than your on welfare or I must be a needful person. I hardly believe your even 18. Get out and live life without out your parents help. Give back the car, give back the money. Do it on your own. Then put yourself in my shoes and walk a mile. I'll bet you won't make it. Your responses are weak and you are as well. You obviously had everything handed to you all your life and your full of your self. I hope you realize this before its to late. I usually join a persons attitude to what there name is, and yours must be Dick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 This is embarrassing.... Really? Mediciad is socialism at its best. Medicare is as well. Public employees, government employees, have much better healthcare benefits than the general public does, espcially than the working middle-class does. That sounds socialstic to me. Also, the US incarcerates more of its citizens in absolute numbers and per capita, than any other country on the planet. The number surpassed 2,000,000 way back in 2002. United States prison population is 153% higher than Russia, 505% higher than Brazil, 550% higher than India, and more than 2,000% higher than Nigeria, Indonesia or Bangladesh. And when the rate of incarceration per 100,000 people is considered, the United States doesn't look any better. Here are the top twenty countries with the highest incarceration rates: 1. United States...............738 2. Russian Federation...............607 3. Cuba...............487 4. Ukraine...............360 5. Singapore...............350 6. Botswana...............339 7. South Africa...............335 8. Taiwan...............259 9. Thailand...............257 10. United Arab Emirates...............250 11. Poland...............228 12. Israel...............209 13. Libya...............207 14. Iran...............206 15. Mexico...............196 16. Brazil...............191 17. Uzbekistan...............184 18. Lebanon...............168 19. Columbia...............152 20. Argentina...............148 Compare the 738 per 100,000 people of the United States to many other developed democratic nations: United Kingdom...............145 Spain...............145 Australia...............126 Canada...............107 Italy...............102 Germany...............95 France...............88 Ireland...............78 Sweden...............78 Japan...............62 Even such countries as China (118), Iraq (60) and Pakistan (57) have much lower rates of incarceration than the United States.

tom Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Die from their condition? http://en.wikipedia...._mortality_rate They have a lower infant mortality rate. http://en.wikipedia....life_expectancy A higher life expectancy rate. If less of their infants die, and they live longer, can you please tell me how their medical system is failing so completely? Not true. Other countries with supposedly lower infant mortality rates don't follow the guidelines set up by the WHO like the US does. The CBO admits this right here..... Problems of definition and measurement, however, hamper cross-national comparisons of health statistics. Alternative measures of infant mortality may provide better information but cannot completely compensate for differences among countries in the overall rates of reporting of adverse pregnancy outcomes. For example, very premature births are more likely to be included in birth and mortality statistics in the United States than in several other industrialized countries that have lower infant mortality rates. http://www.cbo.gov/d...dex=6219&type=0 Here's an article by a highly respected doctor on the subject. http://archive.newsm.../9/184540.shtml As usual, the left uses flawed statistics to promote their socialist ideology.

Is that 400 houses who's garbage cans you go through when they put the trash out to the curb? It is obvious from your posts that you will never earn much over minimum wage (if that), will never be able to retire, and will sponge of hard working, successful, productive Americans like me. That is too bad because you will never learn to strive to become something better. Never try to better yourself and get off the dole. I am sure you come from a long line of welfare recipients so it is not entirely your fault. It is all you know. Break the chain. You would only benefit by cutting social programs. You would have an incentive to better yourself and, once you actually began to pay taxes, you would be able to keep more of what you earned instead of having to give it to lowlife scumbags. Maybe they will propose a bill to increase the money for bottle deposits to 6 cents and your income will jump 20 percent. Don't attempt the math.

I definitely don't need you to tell me how to run my life. My wage is 3 times the minimum, doing something that should only pay half that. The only thing I see you producing is a big steaming pile you call a life. Move alone, don't let that pitiful life kick you ass on the way out. I am smart enough to know your a Dick and you probably smoke crack with the way you talk. I don't think you know what your talking about and you definitely. What you don't like the fact I gladly pay taxes, support people in need and will continue to do so because of people like yourself. I am better than you already, witch isn't saying much! Besides that you are not an American, you have forgot what it means to be an American. If I need to explain it to you than you really are a dumbass Dick.
