As opposed to the US system, where, if you are one of the nearly 50
million without health insurance ........snip


That is a misleading statement. How many of those without health
insurance are in that category based on *their* decision not to carry it
even though they can afford it? How many because they cannot afford it?


Considering the cost of hospital care, I think that if you CHOSE not to have
health insurance, and you could afford it, then "can afford it" has to mean
you're fabulously wealthy, or have a terminal disease and figure insurance
is pointless anyway.



Nope. I never carried health insurance until I got married. My
choice. I was not wealthy but I could certainly afford it. When you
are young you are invincible........or so you think so. ;-)

The average Norwegian has a much higher quality standard of living than
the average American. I was astonished when I visited my friends there.


True statement due to the socialistic structure of their government, however
it does not tell the whole story.
I have relatives in both Norway and Sweden. Both countries consist of the
"haves" and "have nots". Those whose families owned land and/or farms and
held them within the family for generations control most of the wealth of
the respective country and have the most political influence. The
"have-nots" are well provided for by our standards, but have limited
opportunity to change their status. One of the admired qualities of the US
in both Norway and Sweden is the greater opportunity by all to change or
improve their status. My Swedish relatives are multi-generation land
owners. My Norwegian relatives are not, but both have similar views of the
US.

The majority of Americans are moving backwards economically in terms of
earnings, and many have lost or are losing good employment, insurance,
even their houses.


How easy it is to make statements without any factual basis.

The *majority* of Americans? Care to back that statement up with some
*facts* Harry?

Trying to carry on an adult level conversation with you is impossible
Doug. I gave it a shot but you keep proving my theory is correct.

Have a nice day Doug but I am done with you for a while. Maybe I will
give you another chance in a month or so.

All males between the ages of 17 and 25 fit the category I described, unless
they're gay, in which case, you can substitute "badly flavored martinis and
naked men".

You really are an idiot Kevin. Really. Your post does not deserve any

Have a nice day.


No response?? YOU are the one hell bent on calling me Kevin. If you are
so damned sure I'm Kevin, why not take the challenge, you'd have
absolutely nothing to lose, right??

Deserve no response, huh? Why did you respond?
Deserve no response, huh? Did you or did you not killfile me?
Deserve no response, huh? Did you or did you not just last week go
around all holy acting telling everyone to not post off topic, etc?
Deserve no response huh? Do you really think that the "Bush
administration" is just him, and his immediate crime family?
Deserve no response huh? I guess from someone who's only ability to
debate is childish name calling and petty insults, that'd be about
right.

That's odd, the Bush administration has enacted more laws of control
over you than anyone!



The President and his staff (Executive Branch) do not enact laws Kevin.
Don't you know that?


You have a problem. You pretend to be interested in an intelligence
discussion, but you are unable to stop yourself from eventually starting the
Kevin thing in every single discussion where Basskisser is present. Is this
your way of bailing out when you realize you've just made a statement that's
completely wrong, and you're afraid of the impending spanking?

Don't know why you run from your nickname, Jackoff. It suits you to a

Jackoff should stick with what he does best.
The United Nations lists Canada as one of the best 3 or 4 places in the
world to live year after year.


We have about 12 to 15 million people that want a better place to live
than central America and I wonder why they have not just passed through
the US to Canada?
