It would be interesting if Spidey actually shouted at someone using a food stamp card at a grocery store and then followed him out to his car, berating him all the way. If anyone wants to volunteer to try that and let us know how it went, please post your experiences at publicly shaming food stamp users for all of us to read.

No one should try that, it would be rude and mean.

Just out of curiosity, how can you put up a picture of a man who personally ordered the death of probably more innocent people than any other in history with the exception of Mao? Couldn't you find a communist who is not a mass murderer to use?

You are right comrade, it was a bit un-PC. I will file the appropriate papers with your local Democratic Party commissar noting your offense.

I thank my parents for instilling values in me, especially pops who grew up in the great depression and defended this great nation in WW2. our nation is full of pussies, IMHO.

My parents were also children of the Great Depression, in Appalachia. My father is a combat veteran of the Second World War (ETO, Third Army). My parents instilled the values of self reliance and pride in one's work and abilities. However, unlike your "pops", my dad was not a soulless prick so he also taught me reason and compassion.
 
conservatives lol! You use this term loosely I see. Financial conservatism would be great. Social conservatism is bad. I only see one of those in the republican party and it aint about saving $

Hitler was an amateur next to Stalin. Peasants who survived being overrun and occupied by the Nazis were often murdered by the commissars once the village was retaken, on the grounds that their very survival proved complicity. Only about 5% of the enlisted Germans captured survived captivity, which is much worse than even the Nazis. The Nazi occupation of the Baltics was a slumber party compared to the Soviet occupation, where a sizable fraction of the populations were removed and few returned. The man was, quite literally, a monster, even for the time.

Perhaps he meant Hitler versus Mao?

Whitey07 is about 30 at the oldest(more like 25), he lies if he says his father was a WWII Vet. He lies a lot it seems.

Where did I say or imply that I think the American government is efficient? I think it's good at doing somethings and bad at doing others. I think that some of its activities are beneficial and valuable and that others, such as much of the pork, are wasteful. I think that it does a poor and inefficient job at doing many of the things it tries to do. Your blanket statement is inaccurate.

right here:

"It's not an issue of knowledge, it's an issue of efficiency. Everyone needs or is going to need health insurance at some point. If a government-run system could save money and be more efficient than what the free market could provide then in essence, wouldn't the "government know better what to do?"

IMO that is foolish. What government gets its hands on turns into a beaurcratic red tape party similar to a bunch of six year olds with silly string. My kids have been on medicaid (but I made too much so I had to pay monthly??) and well they have fucked up so much shit and left me with the bill it isn't even funny. I had to send stuff certified mail just to prove I sent them. You never talk to the same person twice the employees treat you like shit and the apothy is palpable. Also Doctors treat you like shit they found underneath a rock and your kids like shit as well. Why because that doctor knows that he/she will get 20 cents on the dollar for their services. Hell I have had doctors many and often diagnose over the phone and still bill medicare because they don't want to waste their precious time with a medicaid kid. Sure I might find a saint of a doctor like we have now but it is that it is his first practice and he is not so jaded yet.

Is my private health insurance perfect no it is an HSA "chevy malibu" package but at least I am treated with more diginty then someone on the public dole. But if you think about it if you were forced to take business from the government and then they paid you 20-30 cents on the dollar would you not get at least discouraged? The Gov't system would model this sysytem and well I don't wish that on anyone. A monopoly where no one loses their job, customer no-service becomes an art form, people are stuck with you so they need to stfu and like it, and at the end of the day very little gets done.

Welcome to your shiney new turd of a healthcare system! Please stfu and go to the back of the line!

Actually, John is the same age as I am IIRC, about 38. And my dad was 38 himself when I was born, is 76 today, was born during the Great Depression, and served in Korea.

Oh yes, I remember you now. If someone knows something you don't, you call them an elitist or know-it-all. Christ, I can't believe you're still using this sorry tactic. Sometimes, it's better to just not respond since you usually expose one failing or another.

Sorry I don't have bullshit memorized. But I have a meter for it. There is a difference in being a know-it-all and smart usually the know-it-all is talking crap. Sometimes, it's better to just not respond since you usually talk out your ass.

I now see why other posters above think your op is just a parrot of another person's opinion. Even though quite distasteful, it did require some thought.

more typical Lib nastyness. You come in to say something or just act like a dick?

Try coming up with something original instead of just parroting the usual con lines. The appropriate responses having been given many times in the past. No use in repeating them.

Flame suits must be getting pretty wimpy these days.
 
Conservatives are very in love with their talk radio induced utopian view of USA and their revisionist history. I would more say that Conservatives hate reality, and think people are bad by default. In a Moonbeam kinda way, a extension of self-hate. With a truckload of projection.
