If you are using cars as a justification for assault weapons,
then you are
comparing the two, fool. LOL.
==========================
No fool. It is you that is trying to justify something based on
what YOU determine to be a need. You failed.

You brought up cars, not me.
======================
No, you brought up the "need" of an object being the determination
whether or not people should have them. You lost, again, and now have
you resort to your ignorant spews...

You brought up cars. Check.
===============
LOL STill as dense and stupid as ever I see, eh liar?


Nope. You brought up cars. Check.

======================
No


So you didn't bring up cars?

Another lie!

Two sites provided unsubstantiated claims that people are dying
in waiting lines. Try providing one that substantiates that claim.

The third one states:
"Claims about patients dying because of waiting too long cannot be
confirmed or denied from current research and information."

You still haven't posted a link to prove your ridiculous
claim.

He has not provided any evidence that Canadians are dying
waiting in line (or waiting on a list) for health care.

==============
Yes, I have.


Post it.

====================
Already been done, fool. Now, more than once...



However, on 2/20 at 9:32 Rick presented 4 links as evidence
to support
his claim that Canadians were dying while on wait list, and
receiving
late, slow, and inadequate medical procedures. That if a
Canadian had
the funding, that he could go to the USA and receive prompt
medical
attention, and that in Canada, such outsoursing was
considered illegal,
and subject to a substantial penalty. Rick was not comparing
the
advantages or disadvantages of the two systems, nor even
saying that
the American system was good at all. He was only commenting
on the
Canadian system that resulted in long wait times for certain
procedures

In certain rare circumstances, particularly in geographically
isolated areas, or for unique specialty tests, yes.
======================

And treatment. Even YOU have said Canadians wait for
treatment.


Of course. People wait for treatment in every health care
system. That's why all hospitals have waiting rooms.

====================
LOL We aren't talking about people waiting in waiting rooms,
we're talking about weeks, months, and years of wait for
treatment. BUT, if you want to discuss waiting room problems in
Canada, there are those problems too.



and tests that at times resulted in people dying before they
could
receive the medical attention that could have served to save
their
lives.

There is no evidence of that.

==============
Yes, there is.


Post it.

====================
Already been done, fool. Now, more than once...



He was not saying that once the people actually received the
medical attention, that the medical practices themselves
were
inadequate or non-professional. The 4 links are as follow:

http://www.nupge.ca/news_2000/News%20May/n12my00a.htm
http://www.cato.org/dailys/07-24-04.html
http://www.utoronto.ca/hpme/dhr/pdf/Barer-Lewis.pdf

http://www.angelfire.com/pa/sergeman...oysplight.html

Yes, I saw all of them.

None of them say that Canadians are dying waiting for health
care.

=======================
ROTFLMAO You really are that stupid, aren't you? The very
first first one says otherwise right in the headline of the
article. Are you really so set on being the worlds worst liar
that you continue even when the evidence is in front of you?


That's a shoddy article by a union looking for more money.

==================
LOL See? that's why I told you to look for yourself, fool.
First, the problem is a right-wing US wanna-be site, now it's a
union being too socialist! You really don't want to see the
truth, do you fool?



Is there a coroner's report that says Mr X. died because he was
waiting?

=====================
Read the sites fool. As you know, patient info is not released.
Plus, the Canadian health care system has been voted the most
secretive, non-responsive group by Canadian journalists.


How can one crappy article by a union looking for money be
considered evidence?

================
Why are you relying then on what I posted. Go get the info
yourself. Try any nimber of other sources, universities, union,
Canadian medical journal...


The main objection to one of the links at the time was
regarding the
Frasier Institute, and its supposed backers, as being
anti-Canadian
medical system. Whether this is true or not, I can not
determine.

The Frasier Institute are a bunch of whackos,

======================
Says the head whacko?


No, that would be Michael Walker.

=================
No, that's you,fool. You keep proving it with all your lies and
denial.



and not a reliable source of
objective information, but even they aren't saying Canadians
are dying waiting for health care.

================
LOL Selective reading there too?


Post the proof using your own superior reading skills.

====================
Already been done, fool. Now, more than once...





Rick
also offered that there were many other links to support his
claim,
data that came from Canadian universites, labor unions,
think tanks,
that would not supposedly be anti-Canadian. He did not list
any other
specific link that I found.

No, he didn't.

===============
Because fool, you have already shown that if I list a link,
you have some reason not to believe it. I offered you the
face-saving way out by finding your own information. You
proved instead that you wished to remain willfully ignorant.


Nothing in your link proves that Canadians are dying because
they are waiting in health care lines.

================
Yep, there was. But don't rely on my posts fool. Look up the
facts for yourself. But then, you've already proven you are too
afraid to do that.


Regarding your question, unless there is a distinction
between waiting
list, and waiting lines, and irregardless of the credibility
of the
links provided as evidence, I believe that rick did provide
evidence to
support his claim. So my vote is yes, and I believe you KMAN
owe rick a
public apology.

Please provide me with the precise quote from one of his
links where it states that Canadians have in fact died
waiting in line for treatment.

================
Read them fool. Then write them and ask. Afterall, they are
YOUR countrymen. I'm sure they'll give you the info. But, as
I have stated before, you are too afraid to find out the
truth.


What kind of an ass would refuse to simply post the evidence if
it existed?

==================
ROTFLMAO I'm giving you the chance to find it for yourself,
fool. That way you can't claim that my sites are too right-wing.
Oh, wait, too left-wing. Oh, wait, too middle of the road. Oh,
wait, too truthful for your delusions.



You are a liar and a coward.

==================
Keep telling yourself that fool. maybe someday you'll even
believe it. All you've managed to do is prove that yopu are
afraid of the facts. Otherwise, you'd have refuted the sites I
have posted. Youi haven't, and you can't.





Now I hope this can bring and end to the acrimony, and I
would note
that though I believe rick provided the evidence, that I
understand
better after reading maybe a hundred post by him that his
style can be
abrasive. My only suggestion is that in the future if you
want to avoid
the abrasion, don't engage him in debate. TnT
TnT

I would suggest that you be more careful in evaluating the
question at hand.

If you saw evidence provided by Rick (or anywhere else) that
Canadians have died waiting in line for treatment, please
post it.

==================
It just was, fool, again. That you wish to ignore it is your
problem!


It's not there.

==================
Yep, head-in-the-sand. What a loony.

While you are still up, Tinkerntom, let me see if you are
not too big of a

Have you seen rick provide any evidence to support a

are dying in waiting lines for health care?

Nice strawman there fool. He already siad he wasn't,
BECAUSE he did not go back and read the previous posts.
Man, you really are this stupid, aren't you?

Right. So thus far not one person on rec.boats.paddle has
seen anything from you that proves what you have claimed.

No fool, I have provided sites that show that Canadians are
dying in wait lines.

Not one other person has seen anything from you to

====================
You just lied, yet again. But then, you've already proven

Tinkerntom now says he thinks he has. But then, I don't think
he understood the question. Which is nothing new.

Nope. You lied, again. Must be something you just can't help,

You did not quote me.

Again, that you don't like the messenger doen't mean the facts
are false. That YOU believe they are ubsubstantiated means
nothing. Like kman, if you weren't so afraid of the data you
could look for yourself. It's out there. I let kman look for
himself, and you now, because the first site was too 'right-wing'
the next was too 'union'. If the sites I provided are wrong, it
should be easy then for you to find refutation of the data.
Hasn't been done yet.

You need to have a more expansive view of what a "community" is. Fact is
that none of the places you mention can be absolutely free of guns, because
someone can always bring one in from the outside...perhaps to kill the
occupants...like the communists in Nepal have done to the Buddhist temples.

Guns exist and are a part of our world and our world society. This means
that people need to learn to deal with guns and with those who misuse guns.
The fact is that in many cases, the only way to deal with someone misusing a
gun is to defend yourself with another gun.

I am surprised that Scott has let you slide this long on this one.


I had an all-day meeting on the New Zealand mudsnail, an invasive exotic
found recently in Boulder Creek in the reach that includes my property. More
to come on that.

Maybe cause you let me slide on something ealier. Naw, no chance!

I commend you for you charity work, however the above do not represent
a community. Only a small fraction of a community, as there are
households without guns in possession, all are under hopefully the
protective umbrella of those police officer and military who do carry
firearms.


And, under the umbrella of protection provided by the fact that one's
neighbors might have guns. That's one of the best things about concealed
carry laws...criminals become very afraid because they donąt know if the
next grandma they try to rob might be packing. Thus, even those who don't
own guns benefit directly from gun ownership in their communities.

This can be proven by asking your local anti-gun nut if they are willing to
post a large sign on their front lawn proudly proclaiming "This house is GUN
FREE!" I haven't found one yet that'll put their money where their mouth is.

Obviously the Tibetan Buddist in their isolation from the
rest of the real world, found that all military possession of firearms
is not benevolent, and certainly not something that can be separated
from in isolation. Same with orphanages and convents, they may not have
a firearm in their possession, but there is more than likely one in th
vicinity.


Yup.


I hate being a pragmatist sometimes, but I found that utopian ideology
left me feeling very vulnerable. Sorry about bursting your bubble. TnT
