I've heard a guy use news stories from India as an example in his argument against UHC.

Funny how they never use actual examples from England, Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, France...

...which is starting to go down the crapper, especially in Alberta, thanks to the moron who is in charge who lets the health minister get away with doing some really stupid shit that's destroying everyone's faith in our system...

It's going the way of privatization. That's the future of Canadian Health Care. Only the rich can afford the procedures, and the poor shmucks like me have to stay as healthy as possible so that we don't spend so much for doctors and prescriptions.

Back on topic, The BBC has confirmed it may invite British National Party leader Nick Griffin to appear on a future edition of the Question Time programme.

What would you ask?

I'd ask what's his problem with mixed-race couples.

I'd also like to ask him why he doesn't slit his own throat and save someone the trouble.

If he saves someone the trouble he denies someone the satisfaction.

I'd ask him:Is it a real effort to be such a collosal cunt or does it come naturally?

You know what's funny? All the white supremacists who say they oppose Hitler's government style, while trying to oppress minorities. Oh those silly white supremacists.

Depends on what you mean by style. If you mean socialism, by the time Hitler was in charge, the 'Socialist' part of the NAZI name was pretty much just an artifact to keep the catchy acronym. The Nazis were fascists.

Let's get our terminology straight, which will distinct us from everyone else in this mess:

Fascism is considered a Far Right form of government, synonymous with dictators and secret police and generally taking the form of complete government control over the country and everyday life. Examples: Nazis, WW2 Italy, Spain for quite a while.

Socialism is a Far Left ideology which is related to and constantly confused with communism. I think it involves heavy government regulation to distribute resources fairly to everyone, in practice... well, Soviet Russia. However, many of the better welfare and health care programs are actually pretty good when done right, and are perfectly compatible with a capitalist democracy.

Take either to its extreme, and you end up with a dystopia. I think this is how it goes anyway, I just got up and polsci 101 is not my speciality.

But you're probably more likely to be talking about the folks who are all "OMABA IS A NATSEE!" and complaining about all the 'different' people moving into their neighbourhood. The irony is lovely.
