Complete B.S Thread

Man, I'm pissed. Lesnar should have so won UFC 81, he was pounding on Frank Mir the entire time and he had him beat, but Lesnar is inexperienced and made the mistake of standing up, then frank got him in a foot lock. gey

brock's got amazing potential though, he is a beast.
 
lol, Rocky was very short. It ended so suddenly and had no plot at all, not a good story.
The action however, was really good! :D I like how it stayed true to old fashioned action where the main part of the movie actually was action and not all touchy feely.
 
Wow. A lot has happened since I last looked at this thread.

+ rep to [Focus] (once I spread some more around:D)

I want to see Rambo as well. Sometimes we need a movie that has no real plot, is short, and has blazing action. :cool:

On health care. (WOW this thread got more serous for a moment) I just ask that people (Americans) ask themselves two things.

Can you think of a government program that is efficient and cost effective?

I can't.

Which begs the question.

Why would we want government more involved in our lives? Shouldn't we be looking to have MUCH less government?

With that being said. No system is perfect. I believe the "best" system is for people to take responsibility for themselves and plan ahead. If something bad happens, figure it out. (hhhmmmm.... isn't that how life works anyhow?)

Some people are dealt a better hand than others. Everyone has the ability to make their lives better. Choosing to do so is all that has to be done.

:D:D:D:D:D

I personally know people who have made it starting with a LOT less than that.

This is bull****. I work my ass off, and I still can't officially get divorced from a man who tried his damnedest to ruin my life because I need health insurance and can barely afford to take care of my kid still.

Many people have made it through a lot harder situations than you are in. It is your attitude and ability to make solutions that can change things.

Everything is a learning experience, and learning creates opportunity.

Of course if you think you are stuck in a situation, you are.

I am by no means trying to make anybody angry. I have just been stating my thoughts. :beerchug:
 
Georgen has a good point, all you need in this country is ambition and perseverance, with a little luck to suceed. My family came to this country with absolutely nothing, dad got a low paying job. Eventually worked our way up, after moving from apartment to apartment. And today we live in a nice 800K house, owning several businesses.

What does any of this have to do with the issue of ' universal ' health care exactly ?
 
I was by no means whining or angry with you or any such.

This thread has no real topic. We can get off on any tangent we want.

For instance.

What is everyones favorite scene in Caddyshack?
 
Hey thanks Der!!!:D

Yea. We have a lot of fun with it. Basically, a few friends and I went to our 10 year high school reunion. We realized, man we don't call each other that much, we are jerks.

And the site was born. We accomplished our goal, we now talk once a week or more.:cool:
 
You know, G, plants really have feelings. I read this study once about someone hooking a tree up with all this electric equipment, and when they tried to cut it down, it went crazy! :D
 
Well i think it could be better, but thats the same anywhere..

Compared to many places we have good health service. I dont see too many serious problems with it. Maybe there can be long waits for certain things, but overall id rate it as good.

As long as everyone has their basic needs taken care of, I don't care if there's a system where you can pay for better service, etc, but i dont think money should = more likely chance to survive

I don't think there's a single country in the world where more money doesn't bring better survival chances

I know what you're getting at in an 'ideal situation' kind of way though

Level of service is generally attached to money.

The Best Lawyers charge more.
The best Trainers charge more.
The best Doctors charge more.

We can't ask the medical profession to be different than every other industry. The best doctors cost more. If they are better doctors, there is a higher chance of survival.

Are we to say? - I know you are a good doctor, but you are not allowed to earn a higher income. Oh, by the way, start paying for higher liability insurance.

I believe the best should cost more. In any industry.

You do not expect to pay the same for Honda and a Bentley do you?

I'm pretty sure that all surgeons in the UK have to work a certain amount of hours for our 'free' NHS service which means that poor people have access to top surgeons.

However, the waiting list is huge, a relative of mine was put on a waiting list over a year long so paid the same doctor privately and got treated the same week
