Socialised Medicine Yaaaaaaaayyyy

You're no true Scotsman....

If you say so. I've no real interest in flag waving. I live in a pretty country. That does me.

So, how should I be voting in Scotlands independence referendum?

You're a serf, you don't get a vote.

Your fate will be determined by your masters.

Ye canna hae independence if ye canna take it and hold it.

Well no, it's a democracy so I do get a vote. After that the fate will be determined by the servants we choose to vote in to power.

And if the democratic majority decides that you need to be hung by your balls and then drawn and quartered because you're too ugly to be a Scot, are you good with that?

I've got a nice broadsword I could send you, but it's probably illegal for you to have it

mm nope, not illegal for me to have it so send it over. What do you think we cut our haggis open with?

I'll send you a proper haggis. Aw no wait I can't. Your masters made it illegal to import haggis. Sucks.

Ah, we have haggis over here, thanks. I think I'll keep my broadsword though, it makes a great "purloined letter" defensive arm hanging over the mantle as it does. Goes well with the Katana decoratively displayed in the bedroom and the Kukri on display in the kitchen.

I doubt your sgian-dubh will do you much good.

Not a very competent at defending yourself if you can't make one of those work in your favour. Quick poke to the jugular.

Gotta get close to do that. My policy is that if you're closer than 600 meters, you're too damned close and it's past time to be dealing with you.

Still, I do admit to wearing one when I go trad for St. Paddy's day and Robert Burns birthday... Along with a fine dirk and the aforesaid broadsword. A Bruce! A Bruce!

Do they let you wander the streets in full kit with arms? Didn't think they allowed that.

Say hello to Jedburgh next time you pass by.

Yahaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy !!!

Today is the sixty second day this year, that I haven't had to worry about my health cover.

Seth's gone without cover, for sixty two days. Yahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy poor sod.

Actually it's been 19 years. Last time I had medical insurance was when I worked for the state. That was before I figured out who was paying for it. Now I pay my own way using the money that I've saved by not paying "insurance" premiums, which comes to more than $100,000 at the moment. My average annual medical costs are about $1500 per year, and even an Obamacare policy would cost me about that per month.

So if I take care of myself and stay healthy, I'll have a nice little nest egg for when I really do retire...rather than having given all that money to some bureaucrat in Washington or some "insurance" company out of fear that something bad might happen.

And if I don't, then I'll spend it on actual medical care, not on "vaporcare", and if it runs out, then I'll die. It's worth it to me to take that risk to live my life as an honest and honorable man rather than a selfish and arrogant thief stealing from others for my own benefit.

Mine are fuck all.
Zero. Zilch.
And I'm fully covered. You ain't.
And even better, so are all my family.
Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy.

Well, if you pay taxes in the UK then you're paying for it in a more obscure fashion. If you're a leech-like member of the dependent class who pays no taxes, that just makes you a thief.

What's the difference? Do you know?

Yes, I do. Socialists, however, do not. Their defective personalities are frozen at about the level of a three year old.

Sounds like Wall Street to me.

Well, they can't all inherit stolen land, like you did.

But you're just as dependent. You just lie about it.

Are you a Pict, or perhaps a Neanderthal? If not, you're living on stolen land too. Every square foot of land surface on this planet has been "stolen" from someone by someone else at some time in history, so I dismiss your red-herring Wayback Machine fallacy.

I'm dependent on myself.

So other peoples' theft justifies yours.
Well at least you admit it at last.

I'm dependent on myself.

I'm not interested in your sex life.

That has to be the single most stupid thing you have ever written.

Not many Picts or Neanderthals roaming around are there. Where as according to Wikipedia there are currently 5 million Native Americans registered.

So the only red herring on this boat was caught by you attempting to compare living on land of people who haven't existed for millennia, to a group of people who are currently alive today whose ancestors were subject to a hostile take over of their country.

Actually, the average age of Native Americans, which includes every person born on American soil, is about 70 or so. After they die, they have no claim on anything. You can't play the "ancestral guilt" game without having your own ancestry examined.

The land is for the living, not the dead.

Since Scotland has been continuously occupied by various tribes and groups for much, much longer than the US has (humans came here between 12 and 18,000 years ago according to current evidence), your moral suasion is far more decrepit than mine is.

I think we should send you to the west bank. So ancestral lineage and handing down your land to offspring means nothing to you. Interesting.

mm nope. I may be descended from someone who lived here since we crawled out of Africa. You don't know that. Your ancestors on the other hand invaded occupied and butchered a population to live on land stolen from them.

Well, I must admit that you have enough hair on your knuckles to be a Neanderthal throwback, which might explain your pea-sized brain, but there's some ape that was there before you that you took it from, and you probably ate.

What an amazing talent you have for dumb posting. You're always willing to shoot your mouth off, when you know fuck-all.

Neanderthals had bigger brains than modern humans, so MUCH bigger than yours obviously is, and there is NO evidence that they were especially hairy.
