You're on fucking drugs dude!

Actually I am not. I can back up my statements.

You have been indoctrinated by those who want this country even more to the right into believing that liberalism is winning. Reminds me of the fake "missile gap" of the 60's.

Ok, let's see a liberal one, now except for the projection, do you really think the little bits from the other side will be mirror images of each other?
not mirror images, more like polar opposites. I refuse to quantify either because I've heard both Michelle Bachman and Debbie Washerman-Schultz, Sarah Palin and Nancy Pelosi.

We all do it, pointing at and laughing at it is good for the soul. If we can't laugh at ourselves.....

an example would be we can't execute Charlie Manson but we can execute his unborn child. I'll fight for a woman's right to have an abortion but not her right to not pay for my health care.

Al Gore is a walking hypocrisy (still wish we listened to him about the soc. sec. lock box tho)

I think the middle is shrinking. Both hard right and hard left are increasing.

Harrekin, you are failing to keep up the tradition. Normally, the "Why u mad tho" post also includes a picture of Michelle Obama looking like Mr. Ed.
iPhone unfortunately removes the option of pictures in my trolling, many apologies, it's a technical support issue tho ;)

Due to our last president and the appointments to SCOTUS, I dissagree, this country is more politicaly divided than it has been in my lifetime and much of our government is more right leaning then it has ever been.
I'd strongly disagree, in my opinion the US is further to the left than its ever been (wine, lobster and steak on food stamps would be a good example, thank you NoDrama) and Europe is doing the polar opposite and swinging over to the center-right.

So is the Irish Goverment still subsidizing and giving out methadone and needles to junkies?

The problem people have with most liberals is they shit where they sleep, even a dog has more sense.

Yeah it's not working tho, I'd much rather they just legalise gear/give it to them free.

Darwinism pwns Junkies.

Needle exchange programmes worldwide have been huge successes in reducing blood bourne infections spreading, needles are cheap, junkies with HIV/eventually AIDS are far more dangerous and costly to our health system.

Care to remind me why the US Gov spends 4x more per capita than Ireland on healthcare but it's private over there and free here? Their dick...your ass, clearly.

You can't get wine on food stamps. You can buy grape juice and make your own, though.

Never happen
That actually works


Healthcare is expensive here for a lot of reasons
the biggest one is the capitalistic nature of medicine

This is the USA where just like a fast food places
You can find hospitals across the street from each other
Free market principals dont work with medicine though

still a pain to do on a phone but hope that helps
You can't upload/reuse an uploaded picture like that tho, only hotlink to an online photo.

I learned original HTML code years ago, an img tag isn't exactly challenging ;)

So your assessment of the country is based upon how food stamp recipients use their food stamps? Average food stamp alotments are around 40 bucks per person per week, can't get much in the way of lobster and steak with thatl.

And no one can purchase alcohol with food stamps. That really isn't much of a measure. Taxes are lower than they have been in 50 years. How about that as an indicator?
