[QUOTE=OogalaBoogal;19093282]1. I haven't read it. I'm Canadian. All I know, is that I'm protected, if I don't have money for a $100,000 surgery that will save my life, I can still have it. (Optical, Dental, and cosmetic surgeries are not covered in Canadian Healthcare). It works well for us, it works for you too.
2. Afghanistan is more important than Iraq. Ever read "The Kite Runner"? The conditions in Afghanistan were horrible. No school for girls. That kind of stuff. The UN said that there would be a mission. It's everyone's job to.
3. That's America's business. Get out if you want to. You guys have most of the worlds military equipment. Do something with it.
4. Higher taxes = More government subsidies = Cheaper or Free Stuff. In Norway, they have ludicrously high taxes, and they get free university. All they want. And Amazing labor laws. And free healthcare. The list goes on.
5. Read it yo. People need exceptions. That's why it's written down.[/QUOTE]
The Kite Runner.
Ha.
A liberal sob story justifies war.
What are you guys aiming for anyway?
Obama recently gave his Nobel speech and used the phrase "just war".
Another portion of his voter base betrayed, yet again.
Oh and by the way:
I have a relative from Norway and he says the jobs are crap.
Mostly because of the unions, etc.

flamboyantly - in a fancy colorful manner; "he dresses rather flamboyantly"
Meaning queer, rainbow
[QUOTE=Zeke129;19093098]1. That specific bill is shit. Either go with a single-payer system like the rest of the developed world or keep your archaic system as-is. It's a leaky dam, stop hammering sheet metal onto it in an attempt to repair it.
2. You shouldn't. That war isn't going much better than Iraq.
3. You should stay in America because that's where your stuff is.
4. [b]Look at tax rates in Canada and most of Europe. Now look at their quality of life. Make a connection.[/b]
5. See 1[/QUOTE]
Are you saying their quality of life is better? Because I've been to Canada and trust me it's not.(I don't know about Europe, I just know we have more money than them)

Okay, I have TWO relatives from Norway who say life is great! I can do it too. You can't base an entire nations standard of living off of one possibly disgruntled person.

Oh wow, I'm convinced. Scandinavia is a shitty place to live because you have one relative that says that the jobs in Norway are crap. What a flawless and convincing argument :downs:

Every study ever done on the subject disagrees with you
