The dirty truth about universal / socialised healthcare.

Comments

So you can type. Now if you can acknowledge basic socialization and stop spamming bullshit.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I don't think he typed that. I think he cut and pasted it from a facebook account belonging to an idiot.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

This is why I've always disagreed with the saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world.' No it doesn't, we're just stuck with all kinds.

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Worse than that, Tumblr :P

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I know, some of this stuff is actually pretty good, I think,
if only he could keep it down to a couple of posts a day or so.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

Of the however many of these posted today, how many would you say are good?

Besides the spamming, the main objection I have is the complete lack of interaction.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I liked the Titanic and air-blower ones, as I seem
to enjoy barbs from he other side, if they have a
little wit or fun silliness in them. I also liked the
Reagan one, which was pointed and expressive,
albeit shallow (which one expects from cartoons,
as they are not doctoral dissertations or anything,
but come from a particularl point of view and advocacy).

As for the interaction, I take the point, but seeing how
Lj and the community are sort of dying, I appreciate
just being given something for us to talk about, or to
throw brickbats at. Besides, I think he used to make
comments, didn't he, months and months ago?, unless
I'm confusing him with somebody else. Not everyone
has the temperament to take shit from others.

But a dozen posts a day strikes me as out of hand,
but that's for a mod to say.

Lj and the community are sort of dying

The Politcal-cartoons community is *pretty* active, and in many instances is more current on breaking stories than some of the other communities. It was great when the mods here loosened up on the requirement that posts absolutely had to be editorial cartoons.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

Yup, aside from ONTD, this is about the only thing
that still keeps LJ interesting for me. Ever since Facebook
emerged, the party has been dying, at least for the English-
speakers.

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Yep. (http://charts-and-maps.livejournal.com/88772.html)

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

Ah, Xanga. I was really in to that one when I was in college. I give that image 4 eProps.

[telemann.livejournal.com]

That's a particularly vile meme.

At the risk of being accused of driving the three billy goats gruff off the bridge...

DUR HUR IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE LOOK HOW PRETTY THE 'MERICANS ARE AND HOW UGLY EUROPEANS ARE

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I'm so used to it the other way, that I had a hard time
figuring it out. Usually, we see pretty,slim European women
and big, fat Americans.

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

It might as well have a picture of George Harrison grinning toothily circa 1966 or so.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

AMERICANS ALL WANT SCARY, OVERSIZED HORSE TEETH!

/except for NHL players

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

LOL

[brother-dour.livejournal.com]

The 'Mericans who have fucktons of money and are surrounded by a cadre of well-paid fitness trainers, makeup artists, etc etc that is

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

Also: The dirty truth is that in Europe universal health care leads to (what I assume is) successful soccer players as opposed to . . . some pretty boy that probably sings in some band I couldn't bear to listen to? And acclaimed vocalists that helped revitalize a style as opposed to . . . pop stars with no notable talent whatsoever?

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

Looks like Taylor Lautner, aka Werewolf Boy from Twilight.

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, this shows you how in touch I am. I believe you are right, but I was certain that was one of the boys from One Direction. I'd chalk it up to me getting older, but I know that even in my youth I couldn't keep mainstream stars straight. I can wax poetic about the various lineups of Black Flag and the relative merits of Bad Religion's drummers, but show me the picture of a person that starred in a hugely successful movie and I draw a blank.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

I had someone bring up Dead Milkmen the other week. Nice to know that some of us are still around.

[liliaeth]

Well One Direction is British, I believe, but I see what you mean.

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

. . . and the proof of how out of touch I am keeps rolling in.

[namey.livejournal.com]

Not sure who actually got the raw end, here...

I knew that would be bad, but I didn't know it would be that bad.

[vulturoso.livejournal.com]

Holy shit WAIT. Are you saying there are ugly and beautiful people in every country?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

That's great.

[ladyelysium.livejournal.com]

Apples and oranges.

[bonesnapdeez.livejournal.com]

Forget the US. Taylor Swift is the most attractive person on the entire planet.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Americans are like ~this~ and Europeans are like THIIIIISssssSsSSSSSsSSSSSSSSS

[je11ifysh.livejournal.com]

That rich people in America can afford good health care?

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

No, it's the dirty secret that elective dental care is not covered in socialized medicine, so people don't bother, whereas in the States overpriced dental plans often contain provisions for childhood braces.

[liliaeth]

depends which country's socialized health care though.
The system in Belgium covers dental care as well.

[cinnamontoast.livejournal.com]

So, private health plans include dental bleaching now? Mine doesn't. This is really silly.

[op-tech-glitch.livejournal.com]

Tell us the truth. You're really steve_potocin, aren't you?
