RoboXgp89 posted... If we did it like japan it would be fine 5 dollars walk in see a doc walk out, heavily subsidized by the gov't but everyone there is skinny, there's no guns and no one has any reason to be homeless ...what? Not even sure where to begin with that, although the fact that Japan has homeless is a good start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_Japan Lokarin posted... Yknow how I post lots of anti-smoking garbo? Well, Transfats are statistically even more dangerous, contributing to around 500k deaths annually No, they're literally not. And you need to put away your copy of How to Lie with Statistics. Dynalo posted... Dikitain posted... (Free Speech, Guns, Legal Representation, etc.) I'm confused by legal representation on your list here, given that if it isn't provided by the government, and you can't afford it, you just don't get it. I think he's referring to the ability to right to have representation, not the providing of representation. It's kind of like how the right to bear arms doesn't require anybody to give you a gun. Also there are pro bono lawyers who take on cases as charity, as well as non-profits that do the same. Dynalo posted... That's just not true. You can find examples online of that happening, sure, but it's by no means the norm. People in Canada are treated in order of "importance". If you are complaining of minor knee problems, you'll probably get dropped down the priority list if someone comes in with a work injury that requires an immediate MRI and likely surgery. Having lived in Canada, I have personal stories where that clearly wasn't the case. Their medical system is one huge reason I would never live there again. (That and they return draft dodgers now, which kills the other only reason why I might consider it.) --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:907385138] in What's you...
