Thanks! Hadn't stumbled on that thing yet. I really like this bit from
your link:

5. Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most
English speaking users are American.
snip
Within entries British spellings appear in the silliest of places,
even when the topic is American. Conservapedia favors American
spellings of words.


Oh my GOD british spellings. How distasteful! Especially in the
English language.
Gonna be a pretty tough read for just about everyone if every article
is in the native language of the area it's about.
Maybe that's the point. That way real Americans wouldn't have to, or
even be able to, read about those inferior people and what they did.

I nominate that for the most disgusting comment of the day.

And what disgusts me is the need on the part of Calvinists (of any
religious stripe) and "pure capitalist" in punishing people,
especially when it comes to support programs. What sickens me almost
as much is that the punishments primarily introduce inefficiencies
into the programs and damage or destroy peoples' lives - for no other
reason than the "Cal and cap" group can feel happier or more satisfied
that 'those people' aren't getting anything without pain.

Of course, the fact is most people in the U.S. also support our form
of quasi-socialism. You obviously need to find somewhere else to live
your fantasy life. Perhaps you can find an island somewhere.

Hey, we understand Curtis - you can't take care of yourself so you want
someone else to.

To these guys socialism is the natural state of the world. They think

seatbelt and helmet laws demonstrate a "civilized" society and not a
totalitarian state.

Another inaccurate, ignorant statement.
More in line with Curtis my feeling is that neither should be
mandatory, but if you want your insurance co. to pay out, they should
be able to charge you an additional premium, at least on the seatbelts
since there's not much question they save lives. Mine included.

I see you don't understand what insurance is either. That doesn't seem to
surprise me in a group that is about as socialist thinking as Karl Marx.

Tom it's called personality responsibility and the insurance companies
should be able to charge you more for your choice of riskier behavior.
Nothing could be more free market. I never said anything about
mandatory insurance.
Learn to read for content.

I suggest you learn how a business is SUPPOSED to work. Then perhaps you
might have some questions as to how it is presently being run.

No, actually, you don't.

It comes from when I was the CFO of Park Circle Medical in downtown
Baltimore and had to explain the options available to a women with
diabetes. Several months later I walk through the door and the smell
was so bad that I staggered (yeah, literally). One of the nurses
looked up as I passed and said the woman was probably going to lose
her leg. Turns out that she put off going to the hospital because she
was the one with the apartment - when she went in, her daughter and
grandchild were put out on the street. You would call it taking care
of the excess population.

(Side note: recently a woman took in her daughter's children after the
daughter was murdered and one of the first reactions of the city was
to notify her that she would have to now move out of her apartment. No
doubt Mr. Bull and Stateslave would say that it served her right.)

It comes from when I was Director of Finance at Charlestown Community
Center and explaining options to an 80 year old man and his wife of
78, 79. They should have been preparing to celebrate their 60
anniversary, but instead they were discussing a divorce so they could
put her in the nursing home. People that worked all their lives, saved
and did the right things, but they needed to be punished so the Cavs
and Caps could feel good before doling out the money.

It comes from when I was controller at L.I.F.E., Inc. in Catonsville,
MD and we helped a family give up all connection to their 265 pound
son with an IQ of about 80 (a 4 by 4 in the terminology). To get help,
he had to be a ward of the court.

It comes from when I was doing the DC Jail project and the trustee
told me about getting arrested so he could have his dental work done
in a timely manner. He was no angel and he knew the system well, but
spending three weeks in the DC Jail for dental work means the system
is broken or there is no system.

No, I don't want someone to take care of me. Its just unlike you and
Stateslave, I don't mind helping someone else - without penalty,
without punishment, just helping.

To really gripe your ass, I'll tell you another weakness. I carry two
dollar bills in my right hand pocket and three in the center
compartment of my Prius, so I have no excuse for not giving when
someone on the street asks me for a handout.

I think I'll take the pledge here. While I won't killfile you, I
pledge to all concerned that I won't reply to anymore of your posts.
Have fun, Mr. Bull. Its your mean, little life, do whatever...

The Russell Schwartz-Bot is in an infinite delusion loop. What can
break the loop?!

Not once have I ever made a single comment about not helping others,
or that people should not be helped. It is a total fabrication.

That more delusion. No one has made any comment or criticism of you
doing whatever the **** you want with your money.
