    It's all relative, though. First of all, America's population is enormous, and, unlike the other countries you named, your immigration policies are comparitively relaxed.

    Then you've got to factor in the vast numbers of uneducated people who come to your shores thinking bald eagles fly majestically just about everywhere and that the streets are literally paved with gold. Is the quality of life often better than their third-world homelands? For sure it is. But most of the lot are pacified by propaganda and are simply stepping up to a different kind of poverty, frankly.

    Abraham Lincoln said that the government's role was to do what individual citizens could not effectively do themselves. For a small portion of the US population, money is not an issue, and therefore the pay-to-play health care system they've grown accustomed to is wonderful. But for the majority of population, money is a big issue; and since the poor have historically been even more prone to illness than the rich, the system needed to change. I don't view it as anti-American, anti-Christian or anti-liberty at all, and no one should. The US has some of the best health care professionals in the world, and this fact is going to carry over. Americans seem to think that by cutting the "best" doctor the biggest check, their medical sorcery is going to work all the more. Call that a thriving market system if you like, but I call it inherently problematic.

I pity all of you who contribute to this nonsense. There are other sites more suited to you political wackos! Moderators you should shut this down!!!!
    Feel free to send a PM to Bruno with your request and he will ensure your permissions are set in a way that you won't see any of these threads.
    You can go back to your pre-march bliss.

Just going to a light hearted giggle in what could be (but thankfully hasn't been) a tense and confict-laden thread.

    Moderators are keeping an eye on the various political threads. If you are offended or feel that action needs to be taken sooner, please do it through PM and not openly in the thread. I edited tavli's post per his own correction to reflect who said what.

    Let's keep this civil and get back to the discussion at hand.

    Yes you may think that your moderators do a good job. But here we have 7 - 7 not 1! pages of denigration of Muslims, so called anti-Christs and then talk of Zionist Jews. Oh, Ok it's fine you say it is jest. OK, fascists can all laugh at these common views, but it makes you think about this forum? Don't hide your prejudice behind so called humor. There are some things you don't joke about in life. Keep up straight razor shaving!!

    Tavli,
    I believe you have missed all the satire in this thread. In any case, please cease questioning the judgement moderators and making personal attacks on the integrity of other members.

    This thread goes back on topic, or it gets closed down.

    I am very sorry to have been (in at least part, seeing as I started the thread AND made that comment!) responsible for this thread going so off-course. Mods, of course, feel free to close it for the greater good.

    If it helps at all, I am a pro-Israel Jew who made the comment. The "poke" was at those who, in my opinion, are looking for a demon where all that exists is a disagreement.
