Why did people applaud? Why is that a good thing to let people die? HELLO AMERICA WAKE UP!

"It's gonna be a disaster for the whole family" BULL. Somehow life went on before social programs. Now this country is broke - THAT is a disaster for every family. "Before medicare and welfare, we had people starving in this country." Uuuuuuh NO. People are still homeless and starving in this country. Social care is all about forcing others to pay for things that make liberals feel good, but the truth is that it is stealing and it doesn't solve our problems.

That's actually the exact opposite of what I said.

"You know why insurance costs are so high? Because the govt is involved with healthcare now!" Prove it! I can think of no basis for this statement to render it truthful. How does govt involvement drive up healthcare costs? Explain it to me.

He seems to be assuming all seniors and disabled have families that are willing and/or able to assist with healthcare needs. For most people who have families, even they probably wouldn't be able to afford to provide healthcare to a senior for years if they are like most families. They seem to assume that every family is like theirs and has the money to be able to afford such expenses. They are nuts and don't live in reality.

@lordway Why do people think I'm Marxist? The rich are paying all-time lows and bringing in all-time highs and trickdown has proven as effective as urinating on a homeless man. I want them to pay what they used to pay. We need money and we aren't going to get it from taxing the poor.

Damn politicians spending on wars while Medicare goes broke. Fuck 99% of Republicans AND Democrats! We need more independents or something.

What if that person doesn't have any other family member? So basically fuck him/her because he/she probably lost his/her only family from an accident or something else.

Why in the FUCK does Dylan Ratigan still allow this horrid bastard a spot on his show? HE'S PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!

America needs more dying people before they learn their lesson...

Of course we've veered off. You don't know how to find all your responses, so discussion is impossible. And you've said several times that you haven't received responses when you clearly have (they're all right there in the comments section). So yes, you clearly are confused.

this guy is such a moron. what a typical liberal to drag everything down to race. yes starvation was a problem which is what taught people they better take some damn personal responsibility for their lives and work hard to make sure they are taken care of. now we have 41% of out country sucking the teet of the federal government which means they are not paying taxes or bringing in any revenue to help the economy go round. its common sense people

@MissTemperence Now you're veering off point to attack my character? I guess that proves you're right. No, I am not confused by the YouTube format. I just told you why I've stopped responding to you. I yield you the last word because I truly don't care what you have to say. I am above you, both morally and educationally. You are a piss-ant and not worth anymore of my time. I bid you a fond adieu.
MissTemperence, at 08/30/2011 21:15, says:
So you're STILL missing messages that are right there in the comments section? It may be time to admit you may be a bit confused by the youtube format, Hon.
itcanbecheezcaketime, at 08/30/2011 21:34, says:
@MissTemperence No, I did not get your message. But the reason I'm not replying any longer is because you're running in circles. The arguments you put forward have been thoroughly debunked and proven to be bias. You already admit you're an advocate of force, coercion, violence and statism, thus immoral. There's nothing left to say. You have zero regard for human development, their rights contained and you express this in your vindictive assumptions about the responsibility of society. You lose.
MissTemperence, at 08/30/2011 20:51, says:
Hey there. Just wanted to say I hope you got my message explaining how to use youtube. Since you didn't respond, I wasn't sure if you were still confused, or just embarrassed to admit to your mistake.
itcanbecheezcaketime, at 08/30/2011 02:50, says:
@invaliduser1000 You should read the conversation before you post shit I've already refuted. The "standard of living" tactic is only a tactic based on almost no real data. Plus, the few narrow statistics are only statistics. You see, liberals like to believe statistics are facts, but they are far from facts. In fact, if you want to go to wikipedia and type in "standard of living", you'll quickly see what the fuck I'm talking about. But I'm sure that 2 minutes on that site would melt your brain.

I,m sure the american war of independence was won by the bad guy,s,, < America should have stayed in the British commonwealth,DAMM George fucking Washington,,,

TRY the entire British empire, Especially after PM richard atle A great labour man,, Also try Switzerland,,sweden, they have a FAR better standard of living than the US, and china just gone past 50yrs , so please open your arrogant american eyes and take a FUCKING LOOK , umm derrr

Hon, I think you might be under the impression that you are alerted each time you get a response in the "comments" section of your inbox. This is not the case. When you go to the comments section, you will only see the most recent comment you have received for each video. To see each response you've received, you have to look through the comments section. This is probably why you think you aren't getting all your responses.
itcanbecheezcaketime, at 08/29/2011 01:10, says:
@MissTemperence Actually, I asked you more than a yes or no question. But that proves my point right there. You're only responding to the parts of my comments that are meaningless. You aren't actually refuting anything. You have lost this informal debate. I'm actually kind of surprised to see you still responding after such an extended break, which I thought was an end. But you are relentless. Even when I prove you wrong, here you are, still blabbing your mouth.

the old people should have to beg in the streets for medicine! or just kill themselves when they get old and sick.. oh wait,, republicans r against ass suicide! Unless u r rich and white,, I cant see y anyone would vote republican
MissTemperence, at 08/28/2011 20:54, says:
no, it's not a formal debate, but it is a debate. And declaring yourself to have won is always an indicator that you don't think your argument does that for you. It looks like you haven't been getting my responses, because I haven't refused to answer your question. I've answered it twice and I'll answer it again- my answer was no. Given that you asked a yes or no question, I don't see how that answer could be made any simpler for you. You seem confused by how this works.
