I'm on your side, but I take issue with "give everyone everything". Some people can't give, and they deserve enough, but not everything. You gotta rank up to giver yourself first.
what
Wtf are you talking about?
Hmm. That sure sounds like your saying some people deserve more than others.
Are you saying someone with downs syndrome only deserves 'enough' to survive even though it's not their fault and can do nothing about it?
Fuck off with shit. That's fascism through and through.
No, I think living with downs syndrome is hell and would want to die.
I'm saying that everyone should have enough that life isn't shit, but you aren't doing so much as me, so I get an Alfa and you get a Civic.
I dunno about you, but every person with Downs syndrome I've ever met was more satisfied with their lives than I will ever be. Most issues that Downs syndrome people suffer from are societal and financial issues
You can't conceivably know that.
The entirety of human knowledge is at your fingertips. No excuses
I truly hope you get cancer that makes you choose between bankruptcy and suicide
I sure am glad I'm not a bastard like you, would be hell and would want to die. /s
Why is it me who's supporting someone else rather than the other way around? Maybe I should just stop that.
As long as you remember that you are one of those people too. And don't forget this, when you start experiencing pains. Because you agree that the corporations are the ones that are allowed to decide, not you.
You're all doing your hardest to paint me like an asshole. You don't decide what I think is enough. Being in pain is not enough. Having granite countertops is more than enough. My point is that I don't want my economic value leeched to buy your dog treats while I can't afford my own dog's treats, but everyone's hospital trips should be covered.
Nobody is trying shit. If anything you're playing a victim card and making yourself look like an idiot.
Who says you would buy anything for anyone, by the looks of it you don't like sharing and I'm surprised you'd even buy treats for a dog. What a stupid thing to say.
Shared healthcare should be for everyone. Including yourself when you'd need it. But when that happens I trust you will grab that victim card again and start moaning about how nobody is helping you.
I'm not playing victim. I'm playing "not your coddler." I never said a damn thing about healthcare. Obviously everyone should have healthcare. Quit putting words in my mouth you fucking troll.
There are a couple people asking what exactly you are saying in your initial post. This whole thread is about healthcare.
Oh what the heck. I didn't get notifications for those, but for the other replies in my inbox. I suppose I should elaborate up there. Or people can scroll down. People hear enemies in disagreements where there are no enemies.
