I didn't spell it as elite for a purpose & yes I can see the squiggly lines under the damn misspelled word lol..

It was spelled that way because really this '3rd party' doesn't have a 'name' - save that you can SOMETIMES catch one of its members calling themselves a 'progressive'

That's about as close to a label as they give themselves..

So eleet fit with me as what it reminds me of.. L337!

Comment on the subject not that I purposefully misspelled something (though yes my spelling is fucking terribad but on the PC with spell check..... if its 'misspelled' its for a reason)

You take away the 'money' & people will simply not do it.. sad to say humans are not ants that work entirely for the hive mentality of pushing them selves to the top as a whole. Meaning, once the money is gone from the system, than any true advancements in it will be gone.

Show me a list of great medical achievements to come out of countries that have socialized health care.. go ahead & put together a list as best as you possibly can of world achievements in the medical world. I will bet that just UCLA Med ALONE will smash the world list of great achievements... Also I would like for you to footnote every single 'world' advancement that was based on the US already 'paving the way' - Again, I will bet dollars to donuts that just about anything anyone else has 'done' actually 'started' here in the US.


First off, not true. I don't know if you watched the video of the Canadian 'owning' the US senate, but this is what it was about. There is no brain drain to the US in the medical field. Innovation does not occur in the US alone. As for the list, I'm not Google. You can do it yourself, but off the top of my head the Polio vaccine, T-cell identification and rickets treatment. Maybe UCLA can smash the record, but I would argue this is because UCLA is a world leader in research and has a ton of funding from WHO. Not because of a free market health care system.

That's actually what the whole discussion is about. At least from my stand point. I didn't really want to get involved in this because the American way of thinking is something that makes me a bit uncomfortable and I feel it's bad form to talk about someone elses' way of life. Once the Canada angle was brought up and questions were raised, I wanted to add the pros and cons of that. The overlying question I still have is if government is not used as an accountable regulator for things like health care (which I feel should be considered a necessity, not a privilege), what is it there for?

To give you a hint.. Bush, McCain, Obama, Clinton etc. are all part of this 3rd party - they may label them selves as 'Republicans' or 'Democrats' or whatever they need to call them selves for that moment as they push for power.. but at the end of the day they will all call themselves 'progressives' & all work for that 'progressive' NWO goal..

Shit may take a long time for them to get there.. but they have a plan guys & it doesn't matter to them that it may take generations to accomplish.. Margaret Sanger set out to EXTERMINATE entire races of man nearly 100 years ago.. Now really look at & see what Planned Parenthood has done since...


Backing away slowly, not making eye contact.

Um, what? All I see is growth in numbers for the last 100 years. Credible source? And the reason they are still 'actually' 'affected' by HIV/AIDS is because poverty is prevalent in the community and they are part of a system that advocates financial stability as a necessity for health care.

GFist got it right there..

Your theory & mentality is good Firaxis.. if Humans were Ants & worked for making ourselves better as a whole, than this would be all good.. but its not the case - human nature is to find a cleaver way to enslave the other guy or his family so that you can be lazy living off their labors..

Now.. as stated.. if you take away the money its fucking done man... the world is fucking done..

Do you think Canada & its socialized health system is going to come up with a cure to cancer, aids, common cold, etc. ???

Do you think any other European nation is going to come up with a cure to cancer, aids, common cold, etc. ???

Not going to happen..

Further when you make a statement of 'the government would be accountable to its voters' - yeah that's cool & all except, first look at who is voting.. yeah exactly... Next, if you work long enough & hard enough at it you can break the system enough to where the vote really doesn't matter either (we have been heading in that direction for the last 100 years here in America). Finally, & no the government wouldn't be accountable to anyone other than THOSE WITH THE MONEY.. those corporations that fund individuals/groups in their grab for power that make all of these things possible.

Example (outside of health care to keep it in context); There is a reason why General Electric doesn't pay taxes yet makes BILLIONS.. I will let you try and figure it out

Alright, this is getting uncomfortably close to American mentality for my liking, but I will point out researchers in France have found what amounts to a functional AIDS cure.

Credible source on this topic. I actually just happened to look this up recently because I was curious. US tops all in terms of medical research.

You won't hear it rebutted from me. I have no idea how taxes work in the US, especially corporate taxes. This sounds pretty similar to what the 99%ers were saying in their protests, though. Large corporations allowed to carry on as they will within the borders of the US out of fear they will move offshore. Am I reading this right?

Once you've reached "too large to fail" status, the Government is your bitch.
