There's a big difference between hospitals and guns. Can you tell the class what that difference is?
Your dancing skills leave a lot to be desired.
Apparently around 184000 dead people a year.
Clever but irrelevant. Again, if you want to discuss health care, we can. Just start a thread.
And you took the bait.
Those numbers (from Japan and the US) are directly comparable with each other. That's the point.
You're still not answering my questions. I'm doing my best to play ball with you, man.
You're not addressing my points.
You have to do better, simple as that.
There's a big problem there, that we agree on, but it's not related to the language.
Yeah, its mostly just people like you who think pretending things aren't there is the best solution.
I realise the numbers are problematic for your arguments.
One would think that it would be a simple question to answer. It's called a hypothetical, Rage. Did you notice my parenthetical comment, in there?
I don't entertain childish fantasy.
Then why are you posting?
I didn't see any, sorry.
I'm being serious for the most part, buddy. You're the one joking around.
If the thread warrants a serious post, I'll write one. I'm not holding my breath, though.
One would think you had more important matters on your mind than guns, then.
Where did I suggest that you need the NHS, btw?
You brought up healthcare more than once. You seem to think it a good idea to inflict UK laws and routines on my country, so its only logical your healthcare suggestions would follow that pattern.
Please provide a single quote form this thread where I suggest you should adopt UK laws and routines.
But failing miserably. I'm only doing this for entertainment. Can't argue serious topics with the religious.
I am -not- failing. I am trying to debate with someone who is completely unwilling to cooperate. I think i'm doing a fine job, considering.
You provide adequate target practice but that's about it. Sorry.
There's an echo here. Could have sworn that I already addressed your reply to this.
No you didn't.
You didn't like the answer. Big difference.
So? I spot an unusually moronic topic on the web. The topic happens to be about Iowa's gun laws.
You're full of shit, sir. This little particular quote exchange started because you were whining about Lit "always" having to pop in and make things about America. It was about America anyway. I pointed that out, that the thread was originally about legislations in Iowa, and Lit and I were discussing the second amendment.
You might want to reread the thread. I can't be bothered to quote the relevant posts here but it shouldn't be difficult. Tedious but not difficult.
Sorry. Didn't realise you had one.
Well don't strain yourself there, chuckles.
Trust me, I'm not.
You are the one saying that your constitution is sacred, not me. Plenty of legislation I don't take lightly, but it doesn't mean I consider them sacred or above a debate.
You sure take another country's legislations lightly. Especially the ones that protect the only rights they have left.
(Which is I might add, the closest thing to something sacred that could exist for the American people. Nice work continually making fun of it, you fucking asshole. Watching other nations crumble is better than TV, huh?)
I am not making fun of your legislation. I am pointing out problems with it. No legislation should be so *sacred* that it cannot be discussed and debated.
The US constitution is a touchy subject for you. I can't help noticing that it is when criticising it that you get mad and start with the name calling. Like here.
I think it's safe to say that it is sacred to a lot of people in the US. It is a weakness you have, IMO, because it can effectively keep you from evolving.
But I don't want to see the US crumble. It is a nation with problems but it is also a great nation, one that contributes so much more to the world than the nonsense that is usually on the news. Please don't think I dislike your country or your people just because I criticise your constitution.
And what if they are, and can't get help?
If they are honestly trying to get help, here in my country and they somehow can't, then something is VERY WRONG. We're already about a step away from a welfare state.
Actually something IS very wrong and it has nothing to do with you being a welfare state.
