You see in America what is seen as "asserting your rights as an individual" is in most of the rest of the world seen as being a selfish arrogant pr*ck who does not contribute to society, and is out to get whatever they can get for themselves with no concern for the welfare of others.

Australia has had basic centralized health care for over 40 years and even the extreme right wing "big business is good, climate-change denying, White Australia, shoot illegal immigrants on sight" side of politics are not considering getting rid of it.

These discussions are pointless because the American world view is quite distorted and there is no common ground to even start a discussion. These sort of threads can only devolve into name calling and insults and really should be locked from the start.

Oh come on Galway. Of course you're right but wheres your sense of humour?
These threads are always great for a laugh.




You've got to laugh otherwise you realise your staring into the pit..........


In other news I see Mitt Romney has been winning friends and influencing people where ever he goes this week.

Well, seeing him sit all alone with his wife in the Aquatic center, waving a lonely American flag, was a pittyful sight indeed

Thank god Michelle Obama knows how to have a good time and be a pleasent guess at such a venue.

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but who's idea was it to encourage the Libyan people to arm themselves to fight and overthrow the Libyan government? Don't tell me it was the Nobel Peace Prize Holder President of the United States.
