No doubt the usual suspects will tell me why this research is wrong. I consider Princeton to be impartial though, certainly not slanted in the UK`s favour.

Well youre right, such studies are completely absurd. Take the line, "Americans make up just 5 percent of the world's population, yet they represent more than half of every medical dollar spent on the planet, Avendano said."

I mean, oh my fucking GAWD, stop the presses - Americans spend more on medical care than Haitians do??? Than the Ethiopians and the Sudanese???

What geniuses did yo say made these startling findings?

Something else - for someone who claims to be a moderate you sure do like tooting socialisms fart bag.

He claims to be a moderate in the context of these discussions, taz. In fact, he likes to deny that hes a socialist at all...

How many people in England fall off their equivalent of Mt Rainier, or nearly drown in their equivalent to Hells Canyon while whitewater rafting. Or get caught up in a shootout between their Crips and Bloods. Or fall over from a heart attack at a Joes Roadside Ribs...

OH my FUCKING GAWD?  DID you forget the Canadians, the CHINESE, the UK, The FRENCH, The Germans, the Russians, the South Africans, the Austrailians, the Italians, the Grecians, the SCANDINAVIANS....

It is only absurd to the absurd.

Youre making my point mnot, most Chinese arent much better off than the Sudanese, which is why we enjoy the fruits of their slave labor the way we do. Most peoples are well below the poverty level, our poor have multiple cars and tvs and are fat, not so much in the Balkans or whatever.

So thanks for helping out.

Based on his stated views over the years, I'd put him as a left wing Liberal by Canadian standards...almost but not quite a real socialist.

See if you can find someone who likes you enough and has unlimited time and patience to try to explain it to you.

You might be expected to pay at least a part of your own way here, fair warning.

Works for your landlords the Chinese as well: tea's full of antioxidants.

Especially when I have such strong feelings for you.

We have many more people than you do

We work harder then you do with less benefits

We are busy protecting your world

We are not pussies like you… little things like a heart attack don’t stop us from working harder.

Now that said I am full of shit and wish we had your healthcare system
