lose time from work and then you lose your crummy job.

A crummy job is not much loss, is it?

Waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for FREE health care is
not that big a problem, is it?

If there was such a thing as free gasoline, imagine how long you'd
have to wait in line at the pump.

That's pretty smug of you. A crummy job often is the only one available
for some people.

Life isn't fair. Is if fair that the rabbit gets killed and eaten by the
fox? Should we outlaw foxes killing and eating rabbits? With your logic
it should be outlawed. If you aren't going to take care of yourself and
improve your lot in life then why should others have to do it for you?


We've been through this before. Think hard. About 8 months ago.

Oh great one, please help me for I am too dumb to do a google search on
you past imparted wisdom.

I said think, not ask.

The difference in income (adjusted for inflation) between fathers & sons
since the 1950s is getting smaller & smaller. You could pick this apart
without knowing more, but the news report contained all the necessary
information to understand it better.


Yup. Getting more and more like Sweden everyday.

I don't think John Force would buy into that.

John Force is an idiot.

And drag racing sucks - unless it's on the street and it's a Mustang
or some crappy rice burner.

That's when the 'Vette teaches 'em a lesson. :)

John Force is a self made multi millionaire. He started with nothing,
made a fortune. Drag racing is one of the most technologically advanced
forms of piston engine racing there is.

Right.

Ever hear of F1 racing?

Yes, why? Drag racing is still one of the most technologically advanced
forms of piston engine racing there is. At 6000+ horsepower, an F1
engine is a horsepower midget in comparison at around 750 hp.

John Force probably started with much less than you, and built a
multi million dollar conglomerate. Have you?

Yep.

Yeah, sure......

Stick to things you know about Bassy...

Just what is it in this previous post that you are eluding to that I
don't know? Be specific.

Specific? Sure.

You're a tautological buffoon who sits in his mother's basement
endlessly trying to emulate his intellectual superiors by engaging in
fruitless argument over anything and everything all the while never
realizing that he is merely dribbling and drooling vacuous statements
in a torrent of mental masturbation leading to the self-delusion that
he is brilliantly mastering the subject when in fact those who
actually contribute meaningful, educated and literate commentary on
both sides of any discussion secretly laugh their collective asses off
watching the one man clown show that is you.

Specific enough?

Nice. and you expect people to think you're credible? I know a lot
about racing. But, you instantly, and wrongly eluded that I didn't. So,
when called to the mat, all you can do is come up with childish name
calling and petty insults. And to top it off, ALL of your above blather
has absolutely no truth, and further, you don't know a damned thing
about me, so it was posted in pure ignorance.

LOL! That has to be the longest, but most accurate, sentence I have ever
read. ;-)


It's laser sighted-accurate... applies to several people
too... a veritable MIRV of a sentence...

Indeed.
I'm tempted to file off the serial numbers and take it home
with me, for future use on asuitable occasions!

Perhaps we should nominate it for the rec.boats longest, most accurate
and most elegant sentence awards so it will live in infamy. :-)

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?

What makes you think they aren't? Canada is more welcoming to the
migrant, with a net migration rate of 5.85 migrants/1000. This is
opposed to the U.S. rate of 3.18/1000. As with most First World nations,
Canada uses immigration to maintain a growing economy.

Canada also has a considerable illegal migrant issue. The difference is
they make it easier for the illegal to become legal than we do.

Eloquent, not elegant. ;-)

If you don't mind paying $700.00 - 800.00 out of pocket, you can get an
MRI scan within a week or two here at a private clinic.

If Joe USA with a company paid HMO health plan had to do that, he'd scream
bloody murder.
Those without a health plan will get it for free, if it is related to a life
threatening injury or disease.

HMOs and PTOs screwed up health insurance here in the USA royally, IMHO. We
should go back to inexpensive major medical coverage for catastrophic injury
or illness. The rest we should pay for and it should be free for those that
can't.

I agree. If I need an x-ray and money's tight, I can put it on a credit
card. And, there's never a problem with $60 office visits to the internist.
Meanwhile, I'm paying $300 a month for Blue Choice, for medical needs which
may never happen. I'd love to have a policy that covered everything over X
amount - $2K a year, or some such thing.
