Haha, Dago! You never cease to amaze me in your capacity to be utterly devoid of originality. I hate to spoil a good troll with a few
FACTS, but in light of your prognosis feel compelled to do so.
- alcoholism - oh, you've got me there. Just last night I went out with a long-standing friend and consumed two beers! So I'll be sure to pop along to the doctor's surgery later on to arrange a full liver function test.
- Socialised Medicine? I have a private medical plan which has come in handy, as I did need one or two minor fixes in the past 10 years. By going private, I do not have to join a waiting list along with... er, those less fortunate than myself, and thereby relieve the burden on the NHS benefiting those more needy of its care. But you said that in Britain there is "substandard medical care for all but those with money", at the same time taking a pride in not having socialised medicine in the US, where all medical care must be paid for at the point of use. Those with no money must go to a hospital that accepts the poor who have no jobs, and therefore no Blue Cross/Blue Shield protection - hospitals like the Cook County Hospital in Chicago. Thus what you're actually saying is that in the US, there is "substandard medical care for all but those with money" - exactly the scenario as you described for Britain!:aok
- Dental health - I have no problems, and have not needed a tooth drilled in nearly 20 years. I'd say my dental care, both professional and self administered, is pretty good, and yet you continue to blow this same old tarnished trumpet every time you post about my world!
- Crime and drugs at a scary level - are you saying that these are problems which exist only in Britain, but not in the USA??? Ah wait, you meant in the dago world. I bet you're going to tell me that because your wife/kids do not have a drugs problem and do not belong to any gangs, everyone in the USA is as pure as the driven snow, just as "everyone" in the US can afford a car.
Feel free to add more embellishments about "beet's world" - it gives me something to look forward to as I enjoy my morning coffee.
Ah Mr. Jackall! "dillusional....." - this is the second time I've seen you post this word, but I do not recognise it. I do believe the word you intended was "delusional", trust that this correction will be well received, and thank you for your post which served to remind me that I am fortunate enough as to have received an education.
LOL - all this out of a thread about a few barrels of oil.
But now, gentlemen, I regret to advise you that owing to family commitments, an extended period of toodle pippage will exist from now until late on Sunday or even Monday. Do continue to post your portrayals of "beet's world" - I
so look forward to reading them each morning.
