    Personally I thought it was more along the lines of wanting to make a snide remark instead of gracefully accepting a compliment in the good faith that it was made... Of course, I might be wrong, but hasn't happened yet! :laugh:

      But if you look at socialized healthcare as some kind of legalized theft, then, that is your privilege.

      When government takes money from one person and gives it to someone else, that is absolutely no different at all from that same person picking up a gun and taking the money themselves. It is precisely the same thing (except that the latter is more efficient becuase it doesn't require a bureaucracy which also has to be supported by stealing money from free people)

      Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

        I am pleased to see that you're actually discussing things around here nowadays. I don't want that to sound patronising, I don't expect you to care what I think, but it still makes me glad.

        I must say, I'm pretty amazed at the way this thread turned out. Decent discussion.

          You have an interesting understanding of "good faith" [and of "compliment"].

                Why not? Canada doesn't have 100's of thousands of troops and billions of dollars of equipment spread all over the world defending ungrateful weasels and they seem to be getting along just fine.

                That's because they have the US Military to do it instead.

                Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

                    Perhaps I choose to believe that CG was being genuine, whereas you clearly choose to believe that it was some covert attempt to smite you...

                      Rather depends upon "normal," doesn't it? Is "normal" that CG and company can vanish my posts? Is "normal" that CG and company can call me "full of shit" and then vanish the post in which I show the reverse to be the actual case? Is "normal" that CG and company can attempt to insult me and then pretend that I am "the problem" if I happen (which happens with amusing frequency) to top them? Or, is "normal" that CG and company must be man enough to get back what they want to serve -- or modify their behavior?
