Socialized medicine FTW!

I have a friend in London who is pretty sick suddenly with a mystery illness (which happened when he flew to LA to meet Simon Cowell.. Hmm)

He went to the doctor, who put him in an ambulance and took him to Euston Hospital. They gave him a barrage of tests, and a week later brought him back in for some more specialized ones. He's waiting for the results now, hopefully he'll be fine.

How much did it cost him? NOTHING.
How much is he stressed about money? NOT AT ALL.
Does he feel like his society cares about his welfare or how much cash can be made off his suffering and death? GUESS.

Sorry but you obviously don't understand anything about Medicare fraud, because virtually 100% of Medicare fraud is perpetuated by the Doctors themselves NOT the patients.
Don't believe me look at your last hospital bill and ask them why it cost you $100 for a pillow $300 for a blanket $1000 for a pair of forceps, $500 for a meal.
I get shots at my doctor for pain that cost me $2500 a shot I asked the insurance company why they cost so much and they said they were listed as "experimental" so I asked my Doctor what they were and he told me they were just normal lidocaine shots like a Dentist uses, they probably cost the Doctor $20 bucks each.

The ladies must be all over you.

It's a good thing you have that marked as sarcastic, because you sure as fuck weren't just saying it to "help" someone. You give someone harsh criticism to help them in a friendly, reassuring way, not by making snide, rude remarks on the internet

What's the difference between saying it to someone's face or over the internet? You DO know that person can (and has)read your nasty comments, right?>> ^ForgedReality:

@ForgedReality: Are you sure that the only reason you're fine in society is because you're too much of a bitch so say stuff like this to a person's face?

I'm too compassionate to say that to a person's face. Get it right. I'm a really fucking nice guy! If that person were here in this room, I wouldn't say it to her face. But lord, almighty, you know she knows everyone in the room is thinking it, so it's really not necessary in the first place, now is it?


Honesty is the best policy.

Why spare someone's feelings when the truth stands a much greater chance of helping them in the long run?
It's like when your friend thinks they can draw really good artwork or make really good music. You let them show their talent and then realize they're really not that good, and it's actually kind of crappy, but you don't want to hurt their feelings so you praise them and tell them how great it is. Then they enter an art competition because they think they're so awesome because all their friends told them they were. Simon Cowell then tells them they suck and whoever told them they didn't was lying to them. Now they feel HORRIBLE because they just embarrassed themselves on national television, AND had their aspirations crushed AND they hate you for lying to them. GOOD GOIN, BUDDY!! You just ruined someone's life!
Wow you're a shitty person.


Okay let me rephrase my original message: "Sweetie, honey-bun, you're fucking huge, baby. And your fat rolls stink. Go on a fucking diet, because holy fucking shit you're pissing off the people on the bus because there's no motherfucking room to sit, and you and your kind are eating up the world's food supply while costing humanity millions in extra fuel for cars and planes to haul your fat ass from place to place, and I don't like seeing 800lb humans get out of a giant car taking up two handicapped spots that could have been used for normal people who know how to control their eating habits. So please, beautiful, drop the happy meal and eat a nice salad. I'll even make one for you, sweetie-bumpkins! "

Awwww..... FUCK that stupid "DING" sound. OMFG.


Agreed. It was *DING!* annoying, *DING!* pointless and *DING!* did I mention fucking annoying.

I like the concept of content producers agreeing to make more stuff in exchange for policy changes though. We could get another season of Firefly if they slash the military budget. Or Pink Floyd could reform if they repeal the patriot act. Or Simon Cowell could come back to American Idol if they get rid of the TSA... actually, fuck that. I'd rather be groped by a sweaty man at an airport than have more of that shit on tv.

"I'm not comfortable with revealing my source for the Botulinum toxin... lets just say that Simon Cowell is my neighbor, and he swims in a pool of the stuff nightly."

It's a slippery slope, once you start you can't stop. At first you might only use once or twice a week, then it's every day and the same amount of cunt doesn't feel the same anymore so you use it more and more until one day you call your own mother a cunt.

Kids! Dont use cunt, it'll fuck you up.>> ^enoch:

i just love how the british use the word CUNT.
what a fantastic word.
FUCK is over-rated..CUNT is brilliant.
and cowell is a CUNT..not a FUCK.

If he wasn't such a cunt, he's earnings would be over £500k less. He's made a career out of being a pantomime baddie and done damn well for himself.


Well he'd still be a rich and powerful figure in the music business even if he weren't on TV as a cunt. His money comes from talentspotting and music production/distribution.

I have no doubt that you're right. None whatsoever.
But he's still a cunt. >> ^Quboid:

Yeah, Cowell seems like a grade-A douchebag, with a face you'd love to punch... repeatedly!

Like most people I find Cowell an insufferable prick, yet he still has a small but fanatical following. Oh well, even serial killers have nutty chicks that want to marry them.

I like to consider myself a teacher of the fine art of "Internets"

It's very close to a Simpson'esque "look of disapproval" so it sorta took off as that. There are variations too, my favorite is: ಠ_ರೃ

What is that graphic? I know it's a meme but it's passed me by. I do see it every now and then but I have no clue.
