I'll never understand why people on here care so much about what goes on in England and France,

Here's my biggest gripe: There are tens of millions of working age adults in this country who refuse to work. Why should they be entitled to the hypothetical public health services taxpayers would fund? frick that!

Go look at what a hip replacement costs here vs. other developed countries.
Is this you caring or not caring about what happens in other countries? I can't tell.
The kids on the interweb call this a classic burn!

Suicides by gun accounted for about six of every 10 firearm deaths in 2010 and just over half of all suicides, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
60% in 2010, so yeah I actually low balled it.
quote:
Since the CDC began publishing data in 1981, gun suicides have outnumbered gun homicides. But as gun homicides have declined sharply in recent years, suicides have become a greater share of all firearm deaths: the 61% share in 2010 was the highest on record. That year there were 19,392 suicides by firearm compared to 11,078 homicides by gun

Keep this in mind too after the next school shooting. When a Dem stands up to make an emotional appeal about the amount of gun violence occurring in America, the stats for gun deaths per year that they'll toss around includes suicides.

Met a young British guy on vacation. He brought up that he was proud of their system, however, he said foreigners would come over there just to use it (an abuse of course) and leave.
He said that was "rude."
I love how they structure their sentences.

How entitled and petulant can a populace be when they bitch about a ten pound fee? Their health system has a 2 billion dollar budget deficit (will increase to thirty billion eventually). Read about it here.
A solution prposed by politicians and leaders there has been a 10 pound monthly charge towards the NHS. Of course, the same twits who claim care is a "right" are crying foul.
Imagine that. An extremely wealthy western nation is getting worked up over a fricking 10 pound monthly charge. This is what entitlement does.
Here are some articles on the proposal:

Honestly you seem more bent out of shape about it than anyone.

It's amazing that you are such an Obamabot/apologist
I have gone out of my way to bash Obama on here on many occasions.
Just because I'm liberal doesn't mean I like Obama or the democrats anymore than just because someone self identifies as conservative means they support republicans
