How dare we feel entitled to things like health care!? It's not like any other developed nations have universal healthcare... oh wait, THEY ALL DO. Seems like it would be easy enough for America to take some tax money out of our ridiculous military expenses to pay for the health of our citizens.

Finally, watch this:
I don't care if Bill Clinton was a bad husband. He's a great politician, a great speaker, and was an amazing president regardless of who sucked his ****.

This is one of those threads that people need to think about before replying in. Debate, if need be, but keep it civil.
Politics and religion, those can be some volatile discussions.

I can't believe the ignorant crap that falls from Romney's mouth.. All this stuff coming from a man who has never experienced poverty in any way. He really shouldn't get to have an opinion on healthcare and other semi-socialist policies because he was lucky enough to be born into a family that never had to rely on help. How can a potential future president of one of the largest superpowers in the world be so ignorant of reality. Romney knows as much about the reality of poverty as I do about tax evasion. Why doesn't Romney become addicted to heroin and sleep under a bridge for a year, relying on the local soup kitchen for scraps of food so he can survive. Maybe then I would listen to him. Somebody so financially and socially detached from the majority of citizens of a country should never be allowed to represent and rule that country.
too bad the (puppet)president doesnt have any real power, so whoever gets the most votes (or not) doesnt really matter...
look at foreign policies. you have two parties. they both agree. and on issues they dont, they promises made will be made irrelevant once they get to power. its proven time and time again. (obama vs bush is a good excample)
voting is useless.
Why exactly is politics "volatile discussions"?Originally Posted by ShiftySamurai
Really, it concerns loads of people, so why not discuss it?
This romney guy sound like a conservative...
All countries have mass corruption and ignorance from politics but america just seems so much worse than most places, I feel sorry for you guys.
I never really understood your healthcare system...

im not quite sure how it works either, but my auntie was in an american restaurant on holiday once and a woman near her table started choking. the ambulance got there pretty quick but before they even checked her out they looked in her handbag to see if she was financially covered, while she was literally choking to death in front of them - insanity.Originally Posted by GoSuPicklezz
shifty, are your afraid of discussion of politics. why? is it a symptom of the american psyche? your all trained to accept what your being told and if you question it your unpatriotic or even a terrorist.
when stuff like this (the vid in op) surfaces debating it is highly necessary. the more opinions we get the better.
