It may could happen in cities. Good luck doing that in any rural town. Even in 90 percent are scared that's still a couple hundred people armed. Not to mention sheriff's. If they keep making us soft maybe so.

We were wrong, tough lessons toughen your kids. Making them soft did us no favors.

We can't forget about Canada also with its implemented carbon tax, highly taxed gas prices (+$6 regular/US gal. in Ontario) for social programs, renaming roads & highways, socialized medicine resulting in long wait times in med offices and emergency departments, "hate speech" prosecution, etc. etc. All are a reality now.

I doubt it. We're pretty different culturally than the Brits are about stuff like this. We have that wild independent streak.

Nah I'm ok with paying for it as a society to cut insurance out and save money. It's dumb the way the system is currently structured

Such a low IQ response. You know.
The NHS is a total disaster and the number one issue concerning citizens. To think the government can effectively run healthcare tells me all I need to know about you.
Inflation is bad here, worse there. As is rampant immigration.
You are not a serious poster.

In case you noticed, that’s the current VA system which nobody who has to use it likes.

Actually, the problem with old people today is not their failure to plant trees for the future generations. It's that they become paranoid about older large trees falling on their house so they cut them down. I'll be dead in 20 years and whoever buys my house will have plenty of 150 year old trees to enjoy.

Like every other socialist nation, universal healthcare is great until you actually get sick.

Yes, so sad that they gave away the best idea ever invented

You may survive but you're going to have to shoot a shitload of hungry people fleeing urban areas in search of food.
Katrina taught us we are only 3 meals away from anarchy because lots of city people expect government to solve all their problems, immediately.

Doubt it. I don't support the police state whatsoever unlike most on here who specifically back the blue or some stupid shite.

No it has not, it has not already happened. Unlike their situation, we still have the bill of rights. Every day you see things where people are fighting back and stuff is being reversed.

People with common sense support law and order. Does that mean the system doesn’t get abused from time to time? Of course it does.
But you are a clown if you want to abolish the police.

We can't abolish the police you are correct there must be some enforcement mechanism for laws... However I support a reduction, of police and extraneous police funding. I support training in more things than self defense, like the actual law and de-escalation techniques. There are a lot of easy ways to reform the police without abolishing them. Now the 3 letter agencies? Different story. We need a significant reduction in them and some will need to be abolished or consolidated at a minimum

Why does England have private medical providers? When something is “free” and people would rather pay for their own, what does that tell you about the “free” product?
