The end stage of Obama-Care is a system like Canada. Single payer. Get used to the idea. Get used to taking a number and waiting your turn.

That's just a scare tactic
...but then what can you expect from somebody who thinks that a poor person needing medical help should be left to die

No sir! That is reality in some of the Canadian Provinces. Take a number. Wait your turn. Or go to Bangalore India, if you can afford it.

BUT NOBODY IS SUGGESTING NATIONAL HEALTH CARE! THIS BILL IS ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE! PERIOD!
IF OBAMA EVER COMES OUT WITH A PROPOSAL FOR NATIONAL HEALTH CARE, THEN SCREAM ALL YOU WANT. THIS IS ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE.
WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND???

eat fish and rice every day and you'll live to be 100.
Make sure the rice has the hull. That is where the minerals and proteins are.
It's why I normally get parboiled rice.
At the age of 83 and still in pretty good shape time speeds by rather quickly. To be sentenced to die in 17 years is rather chilling.
At that point, why even bother considering it? I'm 24 going on 25. That's a long ways away. I wish you 75 years on where you're at just like I'm wishing 75 on where I'm at.
We're all sentenced to die eventually...just don't think about it too much. We've got plenty distractions in the meantime.

Things are just beginning to get interesting. When I was a kid in the 1930's and read science fiction I became aware of the things that are occurring today at a rapid pace and I was impatient to go hopping around on the Moon but the reality is rather daunting. To feel comfortable I need another 500 years to put the inevitable in the back of my mind. At the conclusion of that brief interim I'll decide again.

Same here...I'd love to make it a few hundred years to see where everything goes.
Unless it results in a giant step back in knowledge somewhere along the line. Last thing I want is to be caught in another dark age. I'll surely be burned as a satanic, evil being in such a case.

It looks like the avalanche of new knowledge will push aside the ignorant maniacs now in control of much of the world. The USA as a nation is rapidly becoming a total nut case ruled by idiots with the motivations of termites destroying the house in which they live and I am happy to be away from that. But I admit things are up in the air and it is turning rather bad. When posters on this site which has a rather high content of bright and thinking people still deny global warming and even the original lunar landing it's evident dark forces are roaming the world.

Speaking of nut cases in leadership in the US:

I agree...I see it. There's a reason why I'll sporadically complain about people rejecting their humanity and sapience in favor of letting others decide for them...because it represents a much larger move away from knowledge and technology and a retreat from our humanity to a more base, animalistic element. That's a big fear of mine...that this trend continues gaining momentum and the media simply feeds it through sensationalism and a dedication to ratings over fact.
When I hear people who I once thought were reasonable talking about civil war because of Obama and paranoia over healthcare...it starts to concern me.
And yes, I've heard people talk about a coming civil war. And yes, it was from that lunatic "right wing" side of thinking. Quotations used because I don't think such insanity is fair to right wing ideology that actually forms its basis more in reality. Such as the mandate to lower government spending and government intrusion on private lives that normally.....used to formulate from the right. Now it just seems the "right wing" is merely a severe case of paranoia and xenophobia that's growing more and more volatile and threatening more and more to become violent. Again: the American Midwest is more like the Middle East than anyone in the US will ever admit...and will probably end up having as many terrorists.
