Stupid is as stupid does and stupidity votes Obama

[Guynemer]

Do you believe Guy - that all doctors should be trained to do abortions?

What the **** does this even mean? What does this have to do with anything? Why would a dermatologist be trained to do abortions?

[regexcellent]

The top 20% of your population hold 87.5% of the countries wealth. No-ones denying that the rich in America are ever so, ever so rich, but that doesn't say much for the people at the bottom now does it.

So?

The poor may have a relatively small slice of pie but it's a bigger pie. So it really doesn't matter how rich the rich people are; there's no cosmic injustice by some people being wildly successful.

You really want to know? The folks pushing for it believe that if all those wanting to become doctors were trained in performing abortions there would be more doctors willing to perform them when they were finished with medical school.

If the people at the top are getting the vast majority of the money and the people at the bottom are getting dick all, then yes that's an injustice. It also does nothing for your arguments about how the American poor are richer than the poor in other countries.

I repeat my question: what does this have to do with anything?

The poor aren't getting dick all. These things matter in absolute terms, not relative terms.

Cuz ya never know.

What difference does it make to a poor person to know that their country is number one in the world for overall wealth and that a small group at the top are making billions while they can't afford basic healthcare?

[Hauldren Collider]

Have you heard of medicaid?

[Asher]

Generally the label bigot, implies judgement towards opinions that you believe ought not to be held by other people.

Asher's already admitted that he doesn't believe in freedom of conscience on this issue. He's willing to force other people to act against their own conscience. It's not exactly surprising either. Most 'liberals' (who are really statists), believe this. They believe their opinions are correct and that the state should be employed to punish dissenters.

God ****ing damnit, you are the dumbest sack of **** I've ever met.

You asked me if marriage commissioners should be free to decline to do gay marriages, I responded Yes, then you quoted me saying yes and now you are pretending like I said no.

You are too stupid to live.

[Elok]

Cuz ya never know.

According to my extremely poor understanding of quantum mechanics, there is a ludicrously small but nonzero chance that a whole lot of atoms in your body will suddenly shift and form a viable embryo, complete with endometrium, inside one of your moles. That's how the Heart of Gold works, after all.

Have you heard of medicaid?

Medicaid...that thing the Republicans want to gut?

[kentonio]

Have you heard of medicaid?

Have you heard of the million odd people a year who go into bankruptcy because of medical bills?

[Elok]

Four letters - EITC. Three more - VAT.

TCBY. ICBM. TLDR. YMCA. TGIF. XKCD!

No, that's medicare, and they're not gutting it, they're making it solvent. If you want to consider that gutting it, fine, but it would gut itself anyway.
