a large % waiting over 6mnths for a damn surgery? BBC, does it get much more "credible" than them?

Anybody who has seriously put thought into universal healthcare CANNOT be for it. It is a good "theory" but in "theory" so is communism but at the end of the day shit doesn't work like it "should" It might sound great to get everybody healthcare but at the end of the day its a BAD idea because like or not it'll come out of your pocket! At least with this current system we have a CHOICE of if we want it to come out of our pocket or not.

Fuck this war, fuck everything to do with war mongering (defense budget and research) FUCK NASA and FUCK rebuilding other countries.

You want to end starvation and OUR problems? We clearly can't afford to even take care of ourselves so why the hell are we all over the world doing shit that is NONE of our business.

We are NOT a super power, its time for somebody else to bail others out. Our ENTIRE budget and debt is because we don't take care of ourselves first. Don't think for 1 second we'd have ANY debt if it weren't for insane amounts of spending on defense and invasion forces.

Time to say no to big oil and get me my damn ALTERNATIVE energy!
