... Communism and Socialism are what I live for...Without anyone specifically, this and and any other thread: Those of you who drop off single, incoherent sentences with no previous reference are like a stray dog dropping his dropping on any street corner or on anyone's lawn.
Pollution. Crap. Try to change your attitude. A few extra keystrokes WILL NOT hurt you.

Yet more than five lines offends you. Poor little Jackie. Is bu-buh detting dry? Not happy unless you're griping? Seems to me you should stop mixing the booze with the Geritol

Is it not the same as telling a black person to stop mixing fried chicken with watermelon?
Ageism? Racism? What the Hell is the Difference???

Simple:
Ageism: To degrade or stereotype someone because of their age
Racism: '' '' race (country)
See the difference?
I have discussed this with him before this, aman. I don’t think he can afford the medical insurance there.
Let me describe to you the flip side of it, Downhome Woman. A few weeks ago an American tourist came to the emergency department here with premature labour pains. She needed a caesarian. The medical team (obstetrician, a medical assistant, my wife and an anesthetist, along with assorted nurses) promptly went into action and performed the Caesarian for her, they didn’t even ask what kind of medical insurance she had.
After her Caesarian, she told them that she did indeed have medical insurance and gave the name and address of the insurance company. My wife sent the bill to the insurance company.
But I think that is the general attitude in Canada. Provide emergency treatment first, ask questions later. It can be different in many places in USA.
Show some consideration, krazedkat. Yukon Jack may be rude, obnoxious and hold extremist opinions on many subjects, but English is his second language. It is reasonable to expect that he is going to make mistakes (he does become outraged if anybody points out his mistakes, though).
Yes , the old fart would probably be much more accurately obnoxious in his mother tongue.
Americans believe that they come from the greatest country on earth.
Canadians know that they come from the greatest country on earth.
Seriously, about the flag pin thing, a friend of mine served with the Canadian Forces in Cyprus, and they used to go swimming and sunning on the beaches there; they would wear the skimpiest speedos hey could find, but would always pin a large maple leasf button to it. Why? "So we wouldn't get shot by the natives".

So the words come out fast and accurate, but what good is that if they don't make any sense? It helps if from a collection of words you get an intelligent idea.
A lot of people just "know" stuff because it's part of their obnoxious nature. :smile:
From personal experience and that my daughter is a ER nurse and people get treated first, then the hospital goes after the insurance if any. Anything different is just not standard medical practice.
