If someone chooses to not work and not have insurance, and thus cannot afford care, is that really an issue society needs to tackle?
Don't get me wrong, I hear plenty of half-assed tales where someone is "doing their best", which is obviously not enough.

1. Those who try
2. Those who do their best
3. Those who do whatever it takes

I firmly believe Foo is going to roundhouse kick some poor old fuck off his scooter while shopping at Wal Mart some day. It's on his mind in some capacity.

If that motherfucker cuts in line, or scoots in and grabs the last of whatever Foo wanted? Holy shit! I want that filmed. :mrgreen:Headhunter wrote:I firmly believe Foo is going to roundhouse kick some poor old fuck off his scooter while shopping at Wal Mart some day.

More likely the young fuck who should be walking. The last thing most of those people need is exercise avoidance.Headhunter wrote:I firmly believe Foo is going to roundhouse kick some poor old fuck off his scooter while shopping at Wal Mart some day. It's on his mind in some capacity.

Re: Government's role in your healthcare
I feel like my version of SJW might be interesting. Confronting people who park in the fire lane of markets, people who do not return the cart to the corral, people who stand their wide body next to their shopping cart and then act all surprised when your loud ass cart needs to get by them, etc.Reign in Blood wrote:When you get hitched, get the chica to cell-phone video that shit at least, my man.Foo wrote:I sometimes wish you guys were around for my day to day interactions with people.

Sounds like me too so far.Foo wrote:I don't have to ask the government for healthcare.

Also, if you get healthcare, maybe you could try maternity leave. One day it might be as good to be a mother in the US as it currently is in Swaziland.
Are we men who control our destiny or are we sheep awaiting the slaughter? Your version of civilization is being a sheep in a bigger cage, but it is still a cage to those used to freedom. If you are used to being reliant upon society to pay for you, society paying for more is pretty appealing. Like the sheep getting an extra scoop of food from the farmer.
