RE: Is Government Necessary?
oh babe. nothing you have said is new lol, every socialist thinks they are a revolutionary. I used to be a statist, these aren't new ideas to me or anyone else. All I have is theory.. and all you have is faith in a system that has NEVER been good. EVER. I like my odds.
So now I am a socialist and you've resorted to name calling, why babe? Are you a girl, gay or are you just a troll? But you didn't answer, is your friend crazy? Or is it just a lie he is in Central America having a surgery? Because the level of medicine down here is certainly years away from what you have in Canada.
You say that I don't understand what you wrote because I'm closed off to new ideas... and then I present you with experiences and you want to write them off as lies. He's not crazy, he needed a surgery. People here go down south for dentistry too. As for levels of medicine, the US produces more medical innovation then every other country combined. Socialized healthcare falls behind. Are you referring to babe as name calling, or socialist? All statists are socialists, where there is a state there is socialism.
The country with the best medical care in Latin America is Cuba, and it's free your friend should see about going there, in Central America medicine is actually primitive and it isn't cheap as you may think, and something else the attitude here is oh he's Canadian, he's rich so let's charge him double, so yes I think he's crazy. He could always go to a public hospital but somehow I don't think he'd like the way he'd be treated there. Dentists yes, they were much less expensive but apparently not so much now, the other day my brother had some work done and he was charged about 1000 USD, my brother has a friend in Wisconcin who is a dentist and he told him in Wisconcin that's about what he would have paid for the same work. I have never called anyone babe except as a term of endearment, I really don't know if you are a man or a woman but if you're a man and call me babe here you are automatically considered gay, that's why I asked. And so you decide that I am a socialist, because I am a statist, where do I say I am a statist? So in this voluntaryist world of yours who is going to take care of prisons, education, health, police, firemen etc? If it's a small population it might work, in a large city I seriously doubt it.
