Help! I'm a refugee from GD's debate about "mandatory health care"

[CTyankee]

Man, my arm is hurting from my posting against crazy people in those threads! What is wrong with people? They are going absolutely nuts about John Edwards mis-statement (IMO)about universal health care.

We're all gonna have to be hauled off in chains to our doctors! Yadda, yadda.

It's great to breathe the great Lounge air here. Sometimes a bit smoky and definitely a little boozy, but life is good here!

[Critters2]

1. I'm sorry!! That must have been traumatic!

Not like the Larry Craig wars, but quite bad I'm sure.

Here, have a beer...:beer:

[Giant Robot]

29. Can I get services at the VA now

For having served in the Larry Craig wars?

OK, seriously I was too scared to participate in that craziness.

[SeattleGirl]

2. I think arguing for argument's sake is just a hobby for some people.

Just kick back for awhile, and catch your breath.

[likesmountains 52]

3. Yup, The "all doctors are evil killers" theme again...so many generalizations...

[Crazy Dave]

4. Eh..eh...

"all doctors are RICH evil killers" :P

[likesmountains 52]

16. oops, forgot that part!

[TZ]

5. well I learned something in that thread that I didn't know..

apparantly mammograms are a bad thing. Funny I didn't realize that being a biologist and all....:crazy:

[NC_Nurse]

6. I read a little bit of that thread...

I wasn't about to post anything. After all, I'm a part of the EVIL medical system and
obviously out to control peoples' lives. Mwahahahaha!:D

11. Hi. My son got some great care from NC nurses last week...

:applause: Was a patient in Duke Med Ctr with C6 fracture. Yay NC nurses!!!!

[NC_Nurse]

12. Ouch!

I'm glad he got good care.
Thanks for the cheer! :hi:

[triguy46]

13. He's alive and he can walk. 11 more weeks in a halo. Thanks!!!!!

[NC_Nurse]

15. Phew!!!

Halos are the pits. I hope he makes a swift and full recovery. I'll be thinking about him. :hug:

Car wreck?

[Karenina]

7. Whatever happened to

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" I no longer recognize the place of my birth. It has turned into a Fellini film on crack.

[triguy46]

8. We don't have mandatory healthcare here...

But we do have mandatory "I'm going to put you on ignore."

[TZ]

9. LOL

I think thats the DU version of "universal mental health care"

[triguy46]

14. Be careful around here...the ignore threat is just around the corner...

lurking. I'm waiting for it to hit. I haven't been put on ignore for 2 days.

[Rosemary2205]

22. I *FINALLY* got put on ignore in GD.

The funny part was I was being nice to the person. It was a proud moment!!

[TZ]

24. you know I really don't get ..

the whole "I am gonna put you on ignore" threat thing. Does anyone really think thats going to change anybodies mind? I don't mind being ignored personally although I have tried really hard not to put too many people on the list. I also don't announce it to the world. That's just weird (and eogcentric) if you ask me.

[triguy46]

26. "I'm gonna put you on ignore" has a different vibe around here, (I hope).

[Skittles]

10. I am disgusted

WTF is wrong with DU? Can't they figure out some things just don't f***ing sound right??? What a bunch of loons.

[CTyankee]

18. I tried. Dear god, I tried.

This argument was insanity to the 10th degree.

I feel the cool air of the Lounge and the soothing voices. It's nice here. I'll have another Sam Adams, thanks.

[NMDemDist2]

17. i saw that thread

:hug:

:pals:

:loveya:

there there feel better?

[Rosemary2205]

19. Oh come on.

What man wouldn't enjoy being tasered for non compliance and forced to have a prostate exam.

To be honest, my favorite thing about GD is the loons. :)

[CTyankee]

21. Headline: "John Edwards calls for men to be tasered into getting a prostate exam."

GD has gone insane once again.

[triguy46]

27. I've had a prostate biopsy and it is much as I imagine being tasered would be.

:wow:

[deepthought42]

20. There there, you'll be fine.

Amongst us Losers. :evilgrin:

:hug:

I'm not going in there, you couldn't pay me. I like what little sanity I have left... :freak:

[otherlander]

23. Quick! Hide in here:

[FloridaJudy]

25. GD can be a scary place

I'd have to take a lot more medication than I'm allowed to wander in there.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. I feel your pain. I had...

a couple of threads go bad like that.

At some point you have to give your fingers a rest and realize that...


You cannot possibly educate everyone, particularly those that have no interest in education

Many more people actually agree with you than dare to post in those threads

There is something to that old saw about empty barrels and noise.

[LSK]

30. your right, it is utter stupidity

Especially since his plan makes no mention of mandatory doctor visits.
