Tico, since you are so cool and clever that you don't need cash to get through life, I know someone who needs a few thousand dollars and a good heart surgeon ASAP. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, wise guy?
I would be remiss if I didn't comment on this list somewhere. I believe that if someone wants to play around with could haves and would haves, he or she could say that the Soviet Union would have suffered huge casualties in some way, shape or form between the end of WWI and WWII. The political climate within and the fact that it was a huge, defenseless piece of fruit dangling in front of Germany at the time makes me think that it would have been inevitable. That being said and using a bit of twisted logic, you could argue that at least Stalin spared the USSR the indignity of being slaughtered at the hands of Hitler.
Sometimes it feels good to be an arrogant American. This is one of those times. All these losers whining just proves that our capitalistic system works.
That was a great comment. I regret that I could only give you one thumb up.
People with little always hate those with a lot. It's not so much hatred as jealousy. Our lower middle class is wealthier than 90% of the world. Capitalism works.
No, asswipe. People need to appreciate the quality of care that we do have here before they start screwing around saying ridiculous things about how great they have it in some craphole like Cuba. Thinking like that will eventually turn this country into, well, a craphole like Cuba. And yes, if you don't like living in the richest, most successful country in the world, I do welcome you to try living somewhere else for a while to see what you think of the US then.
"You'll work harder with a gun in your back for a bowl of rice a day" ---if you want to make clever pop culture references.
A lazy individual will starve to death in a purely capitalistic society. In capitalism, you have to earn your fat, so to speak.
I don't see many people in the world worshipping your country and dreaming that someday they will make it big in Belgium. Let me know when your country matters for anything. You are like France's annoying little brother. Suck on that, Belgium.
Homeless to Harvard you jerkoff. Think about that for a second. You think that was luck??? No, she busted her ass in noisy, dangerous shelters. To sit there and call her lucky is damn insult to what she accomplished. If she were middle or low class, she would have been in an infinitely better situation. I am a middle/low class person myself and you know what? I busted my butt, paid for community college out of my own pocket, got great grades and now I have a chance to attend an Ivy League school. So screw you if you want to sit there and call what she or I have done luck. The only thing I consider lucky is that I was born in a capitalist society where this kind of upward mobiliy is possible. You can take luck and shove it, you piece of crap.
If you want to hate our health care system, move to Mexico you idiot. You'll be begging to break your wrist here. Whatever you do, please don't ever vote. BTW, I also broke my wrist without health insurance and I still got amazing care and was able to pay for it later as I was able.
