Amazing convo last bread about a growing earth and the fallacies of flat earth theory.
Thanks, anons. I have much to think about.
Imagine that I posted an image. Do you see tits?
I guess you're in the United States. Here in Canada, there is no need for health insurance unless you want to supplement the provincial coverage.
Most civilized countries are like Canada.
>Top down organizational structures are inherently inhuman.
I'm afraid we are stuck with that until humanity matures.
Maybe in a thousand years or so.
I have no figures for the proportion of taxes allocated to health care.
Paying taxes for health coverage is more equitable anyway. Do you have a contrary argument?
>Are you saying my country is not "civilized"?
Nope. Just trying to rile you up, kek.
>I'm not sure about "civilization" at the moment.
Agreed on that point.
Who's killing old people? It's a worldwide phenomenon since the Covid hysteria began.
>Health care is not equivalent to "health".
Agreed but that was not the question.
>Get government entirely out of meddling in health
Also agreed but what would take the government's place?
Capitalism is not the way and neither is socialism.
Well stated. For my part, I have never been hospitalized and have visited a doctor exactly once in four decades. My daughter has stayed out of hospitals and away from doctors since childhood. So it is quite probable that most doctor and hospital visits are due to paranoia (who goes to the doctor for the fucking flu?) and medical malpractice.
Much public education is needed to break the "health care" habit.
>"Blood leeches" in the 18th Century.
Considering that the "vaccines" cause blood clots then maybe we need the leeches back.
Would be ironic if that turns out to be the cure for the evil vaxxes. How crazy is that?
>there is so much ugly truth to it
The whole world has been telling the United States to wise up and join modernity.
Americans persist in worshipping capitalism even when it is provably not working.
I'm not advocating for socialism but just for a little, shall we say, moderation.
When I was a kid, I sliced my hand with a pocket knife. My dad drove home from work to put some hydrogen peroxide and bandages on it. That's it. I needed stitches but I guess he was being the farm boy that he grow up as. I still have the scars to prove it. Meh, if I were to cut myself today, I still would not run to a doctor. I would patch it up and live with it.
Won't argue that point but keep in mind that it's a two-way street. Canada gets free defense courtesy of the US military, yes, but in exchange the US uses Canada as moral cover for (some) of its wars. We rub each other's backs.
>Carter as the hostage FUBAR champ
I understand that Carter got bushwhacked by his State Department on that hostage incident. The Deep State did not much like him.
We are all victims but we need the big bad US of A to lead the way because littler countries like Canada or Britian cannot do it alone.
We are begging the Americans to not let their country fall to the wolves.
Sounds about right.
>America has been attacked the most by your post modern faggotry
My post was in the context of "health care" (government funding vs. private health insurance).
>If Canada disappeared, most Americans wouldn't even notice.
The same can be said about the so-called flyover states (like Idaho or whatever). Canada would likely not notice if Saskatchewan disappeared.
Not sure what you're referring to. I thought America was captured in 1913 and Canada in 1933.
East India? What should I see?
Yes. "I was all a scam" is hilarious.
Hmm. That makes sense. I never visit those places or know anybody there so why would I care?
For that matter, I would not notice if Toronto disappeared. A pox on that town.
Still have a soft spot for Montreal since that is my birthplace, kek.
1867 is what I think you're asking for.
Kek. I answered wrong. All this talk about Canada had me answering with 1867 (Canada's birthday).
DUI laws piss me off. Back in the 80's or so when MADD started campaigning for drunk driving laws, this statistic got bandied around: 20% of fatal vehicle accidents involve a drunk driver. Notice that it doesn't say "caused by a drunk driver". What does it even mean? The stat can be restated this way: 80% of fatal vehicle accidents do NOT involve a drunk driver. Maybe those sober drivers should drink up. Yes, it's dishonest but statistics are like that.
Broken bones are a lot more serious than a superficial knife wound. I would definitely want to go to the hospital in that case. I'm only willing to take so many chances, kek.
Speaking of vets, most of them are quacks too. I had to go to the pet food store for advice on my dog's allergies because the vet couldn't figure it out. Dumb bastard told me that the dog would have to take the little white pills for the rest of his life. It wasn't the pills that cleared up his allergy for a week or so. It was the cans of Science Diet dog food that he supplied with the pills. I guess, even with vets, diet is the last thing they think of when there's a problem.
Shit, anon, those posts have slipped off the catalog and into the archives. 8kun won't link to archived posts.
In 1980, I got stopped by the cops late at night after I had been drinking, smoking pot and having an allergic reaction to my friend's four cats. My eyes were bloodshot for sure. I tried to play it cool but the cop must have known my condition. He had the car towed because of a crack in the windshield. Got off easy. If that happened today, I would get the book thrown at me.
>Fuck their bullying
They want their payments. I had to go to the hospital when I was 18 due to a car accident. I should have died and I would have for sure if I had a seat belt on. Got driven to the hospital in the front seat of the ambulance (kek), waited for a while in the waiting room, got my arm stitched and then they tried to put me in a hospital bed. I got out of there as soon as the orderly left the room. What the fuck were they planning to do with me?
Ambulance company sent me a bill but I never paid it.
I could argue with you but nah.
>All I said was Canadian beer sucks!
Kekkity. Classic movie with John Candy. I miss that man.
Impossible to gather statistics for that. Changes in vehicle technology coupled with an increase in driver paranoia would skew any attempt to collect proper stats. I'm sure there are stats out there but I wouldn't trust them.
Doubt it. I think George W. Bush blew the whistle on his Deep State comrades.
>I’ll take the US’s system… for now.
Suit yourself. At least I won't have to worry about getting bankrupted by health care costs in Canada.
If 4% to 6% are lost according to Q then we may be looking at an historic death count.
I already posted an admission that Canada gets free defense from the US. In return, the US gets moral cover for their wars. Of course, Canada no longer holds such international prestige due to Stephen Harper and Pussy Trudeau but whatever.
That's actually funny. Canucks like to laugh at themselves. But we also enjoy ribbing the Yankees.
Why is everyone showing their age here?
Here I sit broken-hearted.
Tried to shit but only farted.
>Canada couldn't have free health care if it weren't for the US.
Blatant lie. You can't sauce that because it is dumb.
Knives and scissors, huh? Guess they don't have hammers, icepicks, chainsaws, baseball bats, etc. etc.
Which General Lee though? I guess just the last one since they demolished over 100 of them. Those jumps are hard on the suspension.
>Other countries have affordable health care because they didn't pose the same threat that America does.
Interesting point, anon. I'll have to think about it.
>Tell that to this faggot
That is exactly what he did.
I ignited a firestorm. Isn't that what this board is about?
>If there are parasites in the vax, people are going to shit themselves
Death by diarrhea.
Wasting my time with useless comments.
Gee, anons, you can't be this dense, can you?
I sympathize. Those "specialists" might be quacks. My father had the same problem till they finally figured it out after a year or two.
