    You mentioned it to Gravity? It was THAT serious?...wowser!!.

    I think a major problem was, I typed the title "on the fly"...
    It didn't all fit, so I couldn't see what I had written...if you get my drift?
    I then forgot what I had written...so then when I wrote that part in the actual post, it didn't quite work. Then my brain didn't quite work.
    I probably meant:

    ...and then you break 23 bones in your body, due to a tragic car accident.

    oh, no, I just ignored it because I didn't give a shit, typos happen.

    but if someone is going to be a bitch about typos they should damn well make sure their grammar and meter are straight.

    No. That was a very flimsy joke.
    Me and May share them from time to time.
    Mine being more flimsy than hers.
    Actually hers are always awesome (I have to say this.)

    i think the first thing you'd need to do is ask yourself WHY you dislike "socialized" health care, and be REAL careful not to lie to yourself, nor take the prevailing lies of ideological chauvanism for granted as any kind of ghospel.

    the health insurance industry that doesn't want the system cleaned up in america so health insurance executives can keep living high on the deaths of those they deny coverage to, in america, IS "that" bad.

    I cannot comprehend why so many Americans seem to have a problem with the new health care plan. Republican propaganda maybe? :rolleyes:

    There was a bit on BBC news this morning, a bunch of Americans were protesting and saying silly things like Britain doesn't think life is worth prolonging and our elderly are dying because they can't get medical treatment in time, queues are too long, blablabla.. well, newsflash people: if you need urgent medical care over here, you get an appointment with your GP pretty much straight away, either at the clinic or the doctor will come and visit you at home. But if for whatever reason that's not good enough for you then yes, of course you can still go private too! There's always a choice.

    Oh and socialized medical care does not equal communism either in case you're worried about that. :p

    because it won't actually work.

    but that's beside the point, actual socialized healthcare ftw.

    Ok,reduce the population in theory by half to 3 billion.Or one billion.Those are numbers.Those numbers would reduce world problems considerably.No?

    No. You would create so many problems (social) on the way to reducing the pop it would fail.

    reducing the numbers wouldn't reduce problems as much as making all of the people on earth alter their lifestyles in relatively minor ways.

    well, the might, in the VERY short term if you targeted your culling, but long term, population control isn't the answer without social controls.

    and alterations in behaviour.
