Adam Smith. Communist

Beg your pardon? They were delicious just like my eggs always are

Especially when coated with pepper

So is the population, what's your point?

That the idea that Europe's economies are totally stagnating and about to collapse is basically nothing more than a stupid FOX News talking point?

Maybe it's both! Maybe everyone gets better health care when they pay for it themselves too. You know. Like food. Or shelter. Or water. All of which are more important than healthcare.

Everyone doesn't get better health care you idiot, which is why your poor people getting totally ****ing ****ty healthcare. Which you pay for anyway, in a stupidly inefficient way. Meanwhile your healthcare providers provide uneven coverage, your insurance companies try and avoid paying wherever possible, patients have to sort out complex paperwork instead of just getting better and people don't trust medical people properly because at the end of the day they are charging directly for a service.

When a doctor here is proscribing a medicine, it's because s/he believes it's the medicine that's best for your condition, there is never any thought on the patients part that the doctor might be trying to proscribe something just because its expensive, or trying you to agree to unnecessary scans or checks.

You silly ****ers have a goddam blindfold on when it comes to universal healthcare. If you experienced it for a decade, you would never, ever under any circumstances let it be taken away again. It's cheaper, more efficient and it ensures that no-one has to suffer easily avoidable illnesses.

I guess what we should take away from this is that the government should provide for free to all citizens all things that are important for life, except for some things that are too important, and people should just fend for themselves on those? As long as the goods and services lie in a happy medium between "critically necessary" and "luxury good" it should be socialized?

The government already provides food and shelter to people below a certain income. Above that level people generally prefer to make their own choices. When it comes to healthcare the idea of choice only has any real meaning at the very top of the scale, which is why if you want private rooms or quicker consultant visits or whatever you can pay for them yourself.

Beg your pardon?

Scrambled eggs should be soft and creamy, not tough. I doubt you've ever had them when they are made correctly.

Sweden has been de-socializing for twenty years.

Please feel free to actually support that with some evidence.

[The Mad Monk]

Oh hush. Can't you see we're discussing eggs now?

[The Mad Monk]

But, since you asked...

[kentonio]

But, since you asked...

Making a socialized system more efficient is not 'de-socializing'.

Also not putting milk in omelettes is weird.

[Sava]

I like how Sweden is both an example of socialist fail but yet also an example of unsocialist victory.

5 Common Scrambled Eggs Mistakes
10:00 am / October 23, 2011 / Written by Danielle Walsh / KEYWORDS: Common Cooking Mistakes, Cooking Tips, Test Kitchen Tips

They’re an everyday breakfast staple, but scrambled eggs are no piece of (pan)cake. What’s supposed to be a creamy, delicate breakfast often turns out spongy, grainy, browned, and overcooked. It’s okay; most people don’t know how to properly scramble an egg. And it’s no wonder–there are so many variables. Do you use high heat or low heat? Add cream, water, or neither? What kind of pan is best? To get some clarification, we asked the staff of the BA Test Kitchen how to correct some of the most common mistakes home cooks make. Their advice, below.

1. “Don’t be wimpy with your eggs. Whisk well and be vigorous about it–you want to add air and volume for fluffy eggs. And whisk the eggs right before adding to pan; don’t whisk and let mixture sit (it deflates).” –Kay Chun, Deputy Food Editor

2. “Don’t add milk, cream, or water to the eggs. People think it will keep the eggs creamy while cooking, but in fact, the eggs and added liquid will separate during the cooking process creating wet, overcooked eggs. Stir in some creme fraiche after the eggs are off the heat if you want them creamy.” –Mary-Frances Heck, Associate Food Editor

3. “Don’t use high heat. It’s all about patience to achieve the soft curd. Whether you want small curd (stirring often) or large curd (stirring less), you need to scramble eggs over medium-low heat, pulling the pan off the heat if it gets too hot, until they set to desired doneness.” –Hunter Lewis, Food Editor

4. “Don’t overcook them! Take them off the heat a little while before you think they are done. The carryover heat will keep cooking them for a minute or so. Also: Use a cast-iron or a nonstick skillet. If you don’t, there will be a rotten clean-up job in your future.” –Janet McCracken, Deputy Food Editor

And last but not least, ditch that fork! Scramble your eggs with a heat-proof spatula, a flat-topped wooden spoon, or for the perfect curd, chopsticks.

Bon Appetit, *****es.

You'll be telling us not to cook them in the microwave next..

He wanted progressive taxation to pay for national defense, law enforcement, roads and schools. Not much of a communist unless you're comparing him to Ron Paul.

Bon Appetit, *****es.

I whisk my eggs with the fork I eat them with, I cook them on the highest heat possible so they're done sooner, and I also like them in solid chunky bits so idgaf if they're "overcooked."

Personally, I don't give half a **** what Adam Smith thought or wanted... or anyone who lived in the 18th century, for that matter. You have to wait a hundred years before the notion that black people shouldn't be owned becomes a popular controversial subject. At his point in history, not raping your slaves on a daily basis would be the line between the modern US distinctions of "liberal" and "conservative".

the world would be probably be a better place if people read and understood the great 18th and 19th century economists (especially pierre samuel du pont de nemours, jaques turgot, john stuart mill, adam smith, david ricado, karl marx, carl menger, henry george and vilfredo pareto). it would at least mean fewer elementary mistakes in discussions like this...
