unbillievable

I was a die-hard entitlement liberal in college. I believed it all. Then I got a job and discovered the internet. I found out that my professors had lied. I started thinking for myself. After taking a few online quizzes, I'm somehow considered just left of center, but have been called alt-right by the loony left. I would probably have been considered a liberal by classic standards; but not today; The scales are a little skewed by SJW's.

You say this now because you believe that any doctor has a minimum level of competency. An emergency room doctor told me to walk off a broken foot with just ibuprofen. Her reasoning was that I was able to walk on it with a cane, so it's not that bad. My real doctor put me on 5 weeks of disability and said walking on it made it worse after using an ultra-sound. (x-ray didn't show the stress fracture.) Now imagine a system where x-rays take weeks and ultra-sounds aren't available outside of maternity wards... ...I would have been better off waiting for better care, because the bad doctor convinced me I was fine -resulting in me aggravating the injury worse. School vouchers will destroy the public school system because no one will want to attend them if given the choice...

I've found Shure to have the best earbuds, but have moved away from them since they're expensive, and the cords keep breaking after a year or two. I hate Bose. I've had those given to me as gifts and they're worthless unless you like base. All you can hear is base. And if you don't think so, then you better get your ears checked because they're destroying your drums. Anyone who buys Beats is a moron. They use the same hardware as the free headphones you get with purchase. 99% of the cost is slapping the "b" on the side. I've gone to Senheisers or cheap Sony's for regular use. I've started buying the buds separately to get a better fit. They are so different from brand to brand that I just decided to buy ones that fit my ear the best and glue them to each new set I buy instead.

Talking with Russia is like invoking Satan. You do not converse with the dark prince, lest ye be burned at the stake.

There exists morally motivated groups who's purpose is the extinction of the species; like PETA promoting an unhealthy vegan lifestyle or Planned Parenthood killing babies. If evolution created morality to perpetuate the species, how did it morph to include ideas counter to that purpose? edit: I have a theory; and it includes finding a way to kill off the idiots.

Here's what you should really know about copying Socialized Medicine from Europe, etc... the citizens who proclaim they are great are doing so because they have no idea what they are missing. (Many people in North Korea have admitted that they believed the rest of the world was as poor as them). I've seen Europeans say they are astonished that a local urgent care facility had it's own x-ray machine, and that they were able to see the results within minutes; something Americans take for granted. (like drinking water from the tap; which is unheard of everywhere, even Europe.) The two systems are just not comparable.

In countries with socialized medicine, there is still a private sector. Think of it like sending your kids to public or private school. The vast majority get "free" services that suck; while the rich still get premium services. Teachers/doctors can work for the government, or get better salaries in privately owned businesses (clinics/universities)

So Morality is an evolutionary trait perpetuated by the survival advantage of maintaining group cooperation. Why does PETA exist?

The ultimate solution would be for the government to directly regulate the price; like they did in Venezuela.

THe OP is too long. Just skimmed it. What game is this thread talking about?

The genius of Obamacare is that it's a parasite that can kill the patient if removed. Like Social Security, we're stuck with this monstrosity. I have a co-work who absolutely believes that Republicans are evil. No nuance. No grey area. He actually thinks that Republicans just want to watch the world burn. Like super-villians. And he's in his 50's.

The biggest threat to identity politics is people blending into one culture. Snowflakes can't feel special if everyone is allowed to be like them.

That's a good point. If the guy on the ground was white, the democrat would be yelling at him for taking too much space and to check his privilege.

Aaron Sorkin's idea of a Republican is a far-left liberal. The echo chamber around Hollywood is strong.

Liberals have spent the last decade trying to convince everyone that being poor (or fat) is a natural state that people have no control over...

The Republican would yell at him to stop blocking the road. The Democrat would steal his wallet. ..and the Liberterian would yell at the R and D to leave the man alone.

The myth that blue states use less federal money than red states...because an obamaphone costs less than a country road. Blue states typically require 4X more welfare funding than Red states. With the exception of Alaska, the top 10 welfare recipients are all blue states. So let's equate a military base to an inner city basketball court, if it makes the snowflakes feel smug.

I don't care how much money someone else has to pay, I'm entitled to free healthcare!

Despite the obvious problem of proving something that didn't happen, three are more stories of people fighting back than there are mass shootings. They just don't get national attention. So google local stories.

Service guarantees citizenship! Join now! We have an example of government run health care in this country: the VA. Maybe we should just expand it's coverage?

Schmidt is 25% of the offense!

I got infracted for being "off topic" for posting the Alien conspiracy guy meme on a Marrone vs Whaley rumor thread. Also, was I the only one that couldn't stand WYO after she became a mod?

Just put a check on the "no" box when asked if you are a terrorist on the immigration form.

The anti-sjw movement has already begun among the Millennial generation. Anyone on social media (not blocking everyone) knows this. These kids are hitting the real world and quickly figuring out that their teachers lied to them. There are no "safe spaces" when you're an adult. It's amazing how fast a socialist becomes capitalist when it's their money being taken.

The animation looks awful. Disney can't find a better artist?
