Anything new in these debates?

[The Stamp]

Europe is full of people who owe their lives to American productivity and all they seem to be able to do is run this country down. Maybe we should have stayed out of the European theater for another year or so. Maybe the next generation who grew up under the protection of the American military would have a little more respect.

The biggest favour the American military could do for this world would be to "Go Home".
Which country does the rest of the world think is the biggest threat to world peace? you guessed it AMERICA.

Every other civilised country on the planet with universal health care (that's all of them BTW) would disagree with you

Which is, of course, why people leave those countries and come here to have medical services provided. Universal health care requires rationing to function, so those deemed not of significant value to the state do not get procedures which could ease their pain. Like Obummer said, they can just take a pill... until they are addicted and the pain pills do nothing. Europe can keep their socialism and their socialized medicine. I'll never forget Kathleen Sibelius saying to the family of a 12 year old that not everyone gets to live. Fortunately she got her transplants and the liberals lost-- she lived.

Every other civilised country on the planet with universal health care (that's all of them BTW) would disagree with you but you keep thinking like that and you can watch your countries healthcare slowly go down the tubes, sadly millions of Americans will die needlessly before the American people eventually come to their senses.

"Every other civilized country on the planet" has $billions more to spend on healthcare thanks to massive trade surpluses with (against) us.

I agree with you. There's nobody in Europe worth defending any more. The parents failed to educate their children and now the youth has learned nothing from two world wars on their soil.

And Jesus would say let them die?

Is this what Christians think?

Jesus allowed many of the poor to die. He didn't save everyone. He said he will do that when he returns. Until then we are on our own.

Unique? is that what you call it? I could think of a lot more adjectives that would better describe your typical American and 'Unique' would not even be in the top ten.

What is your top ten?

You value some sort of percieved lack of respect over human lives? What a lovely fellow you are.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Trustworthy? loyal? helpful? friendly? courteous? kind? obedient? cheerful? thrifty? brave? clean? reverent?

Why AV, that's me to a 't' (well maybe not the 'brave' part so much).

In 1941, America intervened in a war to save Europe.
Pity.

Two words.
Lend Lease.
Come back when you know what you're talking about.

America "Intervened" because they knew they would be next on Hitler's list of countries to conquer, with the UK beaten and Germany only fighting on one front they would have gone through Russia like a dose of salts then would come the US, unlike the US government of today the leaders in the 1940's were smart.

Why should America send it's young men to be the first to die in a European theater to protect people who don't want us there? It's to let Europe pay for their own defense and let our soldiers hunt and kill terrorists.

I don't have time to educate the uneducated. Goodbye.

Who didn't want America there? Surely they were welcomed and their efforts greatly appreciated, I've never heard otherwise.

Hitler?

 

[Jimmy D]

Hitler?

First thing I thought when I re-read my post.

Thank you and I would also rather you didn't because the American education system is far from the best. Goodbye.

Judging from the previous page I'm starting to have my doubts AV.

"Anything new in these debates?"

How shall I put this?

"No" seems to be a good way.

 

[Larniavc]

so those deemed not of significant value to the state do not get procedures which could ease their pain.

That does not happen in the U.K.

You're a terrible person.

I guess will this be another time I get into trouble with admin for calling you a nasty word (by my count the third time).

Funny how it's always you.

The mouthy youth of Europe doesn't seem to have a very good grasp of history.
