The Myth of Cuban Health Care

noseeem says...

not certain why this video, but 'Sicko' was 3 administrations ago.

did notice a couple 'wtf' moments. Harvey Weinstein in the background and an NRA logo on a doctor's desk. Harv made for an uneasy moment but a physician w/NRA (support/irony) is kind of a conflict of interest.

bit of a gamble for bk bringing up healthcare when some of the countries w/best healthcare, run a universal system.

okay. skip Cuba's, take Denmark's. would settle for Canada's (they are always ranked above the US on almost every meteric)

Vox: No, Vitamin C won't cure your cold

moonsammy says...

I tell people about the ineffectiveness of C as a cold treatment whenever I have a good opportunity. Note that when they're actually taking it is NOT what I consider such an opportunity, as the placebo effect can still be real and I'd rather not fuck that up for them. I will tell other people nearby though, once out of earshot of the sicko. Would be nice if people stopped wasting their money on snake oil.

It's interesting how trump having sex with his own daughter is becoming part of the culture


"Get running
Start pumping your bunions, I'm coming
I'm the dumbest, who flamethrow your function to Funyuns
Flame your crew quicker than Trump fucks his youngest
Now face the flame, fuckers, your fame and fate's done with"




“Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?” -Donald Trump

What a sicko, I'm glad pop-culture is starting to pick up on it. Prediction, Ivanka Trump will write a tell all about how her father sexually assaulted her as a child and no one will believe her and they'll say that she's just trying to ruin his reputation.

"Why is she trying to hurt a dead man's reputation? He only joked about it for decades and was close friends with Jeff Epstein, a known child sex trader."

this guy is a piece of garbage, he cherry picks stats to try to make a point and lies at will; how about the Mosque burned down in Texas; how about the shooting in the Mosque in Quebec? he's the type of awful person that gets us to this point along with the molestor in chief, bannon, and the rest of these sickos

"We have always been a gun violence culture up until the post WW2 era. Think frontier, wild west, duels, and mafia shootouts. We glorify violence everyday, we even give sickos who shoot up groups of people mass media coverage. "

Don't you think that that idea is outdated in 2016? Fine, that's the culture. Change the fucking culture.

When I grew up in Ireland, nobody gave a second thought to driving drunk. Sunday after church, people went to the pub, had a few pints with the neighbours, the kids played space invaders and then the whole family got back in the car and drove home.

And most of the time, it was absolutely fine. People got home, there was the occasional accident, but ya know, what can ya do?

Until it wasn't fine. And it took decades, but eventually, it became socially unacceptable to drive drunk.

"I'm just extremely leery of package deals like lets ban everyone who ends up on a list from having weapons based on a government decision."
I get that. But be reasonable. You're ok with not letting people fly, but you draw the line at owning weapons?

That is some fucked up list of priorities. I would be far more concerned with restricting someones right to travel (essentially restricting their freedom of movement, or a lighter form of incarceration) than whether they can own a gun.

You say that owning a gun is a constitutional right whereas travel isn't. I say that freedom of movement is a fundamental basic human right... oh, look at that, Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!
"Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state."

I'm completely willing to say that it should be a lot harder to put someone on this kind of list, but there's no way the right to own a weapon is more important than freedom of movement.

Finally, re: slippery slopes
"The Patriot Act, meant to be a well intended set of rules to help us protect ourselves, has been perverted to lessen quite a few of our rights."

The Patriot Act wasn't a slippery slope, it started at the bottom of the slope and went straight over a fucking cliff. It should never have been passed in the first place.

Mordhaus says...

We have always been a gun violence culture up until the post WW2 era. Think frontier, wild west, duels, and mafia shootouts. We glorify violence everyday, we even give sickos who shoot up groups of people mass media coverage. For a person who wants to go out in a blaze of infamy, we are custom tailored to give them their last 15 minutes of 'fame'.

Again, we have a nebulous definition of what it takes to get on the watch list. I could be placed on it simply by stating something to the effect that "I support ISIS", even though I don't. Restricting people who manage to end up on a government list is the same as removing their right to a firearm after committing a felony offense, only you have removed every single bit of their right to a legal defense. There is no due process to being placed on a US watchlist, you get put on and fuck you if it was a mistake. Maybe they'll take you off later, who knows?

I am not going to defend a slippery slope argument on this, I don't have to. It's already happened in the years since 2001. The Patriot Act, meant to be a well intended set of rules to help us protect ourselves, has been perverted to lessen quite a few of our rights. Not only our rights, but other countries. We have violated their security, spied on their people and leaders, and we perform acts of war on their territories with impugnity. All because we lost two buildings and 2,996 people; a heinous act, but one our government exploited to put us into 2 wars with a death toll to people who may not even be our enemies that dwarf our loss. In short, we fucking have the slippery slope process down to a SCIENCE.

The idea of US being a gun violence culture just makes no sense to me. A gun ownership culture among a subset of the population sure, but a culture of resolving conflict with violence? No, it's a product of gun availability. The numbers ChaosEngine quoted on guns / 100 people really is the unique differentiator that makes murder rates some 5-20x the developed country average.

Poverty leading to crime, poor mental health treatment are the tinder but the easy access to weapons is what leads to the death tolls to combust incomparable to any other developed country. Also if legislators can't pass gun control after Sandy Hook, or even restrict people on or previously on the terrorist watch-list from buying guns then the idea of any kind of slippery slope is farcical.

Michael Moore Blasts House Health Care Bill

bcglorf says...

Hopefully this gets more airtime. Michael Moore releases sicko demanding public health care, because the current status quo is all about helping corporations

A few years pass.

Obama sacrifices his status as one of the most popular political figures in the country to pass a bill providing a much higher level of public health care.

Michael Moore is back again, and now it's time to roast Obama's bill for not doing enough and for helping corporations.

Hopefully this brings Michael Moore's true mindset to light for a few more people. I doubt it though. This is apparently 2 years old and is the first I've come across it. Maybe Moore wisely decided it was bad press to keep on chirping about this.

Israeli Woman Finds Out BF Is Arabic, Sues Him For Rape

Lawdeedaw says...

So, I know I am going to have 500 people disagree, but here goes. An argument is not worth having if you are simply agreeing with everyone...

Rape by deception should be a crime if the lie morally cripples either party (I doubt it crippled the Jew-whore but then again, she is religious...)

Let's say something equally horrible happens to you as has happened to true victims of lies. Now, since religious people are bat-shit and some are very, very serious about their dedication to their particular lord's work (In some human-induced hypocritical bull-shit way,) we have to find a similarly bat-shit comparison. This, oh, having sex with an infidel, cannot be translated to our standards so here goes an unequal comparison.

You were adopted out, located your sister, and because you are a sicko you date her and have sex with her… Or your wife is having sex with your brother behind your back… Or, like the youtube video, your wife was a man or you're man was a wife… Or, your husband is a child molester and has molested your children and you don't know it…

Last unbalanced comparison I can make, you’re dancing with a woman you’re buying conspicuous amounts of alcohol and she passes out… You do the little dirty and... Why is that rape? She took the alcohol willingly. You did not lie about anything… Certainly she should have reasonably known and accepted the consequences of her intentional actions; like a drunk driver.

Lying about penis size, or lying about wealth that the other party is not entitled to anyway, or lying about how many children a person has, in the initial bangings, is not morally crippling. None of those lies stops each other from getting their rocks off and won’t affect their futures.

I won’t say a sexually transmitted disease is applicable, because that is brutal physical violence against another person without a disease. But then why should that be illegel if lying and sex should be seperate issues? I mean don't we all consent to sex and what "comes" with sex, the risks and all, regardless?

And to those who intentionally lie to their potential conquests, why? I tell the truth and if the woman I am about to grind with doesn't like it, so what? She can go for some loser who has to lie about everything... I’ll just do her better looking sister anyways.

See, I am jaded; my family lied all the time. All day, every day. And everyone else seems to find a lie just fine for nearly every circumstance...

Is it wrong to lie? Mostly. Is it a crime? In many, many circumstances.

Deceit-rape would have to be more harmful than doctor/nurse lies and be provable...

For example, the husband/child molester. Did his deceit rip a fabric in your world? Of course. Not just because he molested but because you were intimate with him…

Oh, and I love the shoe on the other foot comment. Would a Jewish man be raping a a Muslim woman... Well, we would never know because her head would be smashed open with a bunch of rocks before her argument was ever heard. Kind of like a tree falling in the forrest.
