Guy gets put in a coma for complimenting someone's car

[Vivo]

Even the Thugs pretend they are not thugs.

WHY?

Because there are bigger and tougher thugs than them... so they think they're less-a-thug...


The world is a beautiful place. It's the people thats the sh** pile! Why? because God gave us the freedom to think and be rational. And we messed things up with all our opinions, logic, and everything that's in our brains. And after thousands of years of #@#$%$#@!!!, all were piled up into, for the lack of an appropriate term, "sh**" comes to mind. A mass of loathsome—of detestable putridity.....

Someone needs a hug? 
Just remember the guy who did this isnt your friend nor is it you. I try to distance myself from the people who would bring those situations into fruition. Although saying nice rims isnt usually known for that outcome. I think redbull and balls shrinking steroids caused that scenario.
All Im saying is China is gonna own us all anyways some day, so better read up on your Mandarin dialect. Have a good night and be thankful the government didnt shut off your electric or internet.

It's sooooo much easier to feed a dog, than kick a dog, And you get a better outcome!  I Don't get it.
I have this "friend" that has become a bum. He has his WIFE work while he stays home doing pills/smoking pot/spending every dime SHE makes while she works harder to make up for it. I want to kick his ass, and the situation is none of my business. She puts up with it, and he just lies his way thru life. Where's the justice in that? If I think someone in peril is a person that can do more good in life than I can I would instantly give my life for theirs. Guys like my "friend"?? I wouldn't pee on them to put out the fire! Save God the effort!
Again I ask WHY are people so blind to what they do, and the consequences? Even the ones that Believe in God/Alla/Buddha/whatever carry on as if they just don't care!

People are waaaaaay far to being themselves anymore! We are not your usual homo sapiens or human beings any more! We are surrounded with "things". Things control all of us. We eat preservatives and flavored food or 100 types of donuts, we cook with radio waves, we drink chlorinated water or recycled piss, we breathe smog and carbon monoxide mixed with other particulates. Children play with robot cockroaches,  Books have been replaced with E-sh**, Teachers have been replaced with monitors, schools have become businesses rather than learning centers, bank tellers with machines, and the list goes on.... everything is f*cked and there's no turning back!!! What do you do with sh**? Flush!!!

I could link you to about 1 million issues with european society, but I dont need to, just go to anywhere in london with the wrong team name on your jersey. You just cant tell me there is a 100% safe place anywhere on this planet. NO WHERE. Europe is in such sh** with its economy and problems, it makes me laugh thinking how good we have it in our free market. I have my A/C on right now with my front and back door open like I dont give a phuck. You know why, because I can afford to and I want to. I also pay for my own health care, same thing you do everytime you get paid. What do you call a tax for health care? Its called paying your monthly premium.

It is not. Here we pay mandatory 15 % of our gross salary for the state medical system/services. This means that this contribution is effectively a tax and depends on your gross salary.

There is also monthly premium we pay from our net and it is fixed and very small.

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it.

Lol, I dont think this guy gets the picture...  Youre still paying for your health insurance. You dont get it for free, and if you dont pay for your health insurance/monthly tax you go to jail, due to tax evasion. I dont have to worry about this. I didnt see you say anything about your wonderful medical panel either.. The problem is I have friends all over Europe, let alone the world, and I hear and see their complaints about the medical panel and their taxes they have to pay which keeps them broke.
Either way youre not helping your argument. If I paid 15% of my gross salary/not NET to health care I may as well not even have it because its so much. If I broke it down monthly at 15% I would be paying close to $1000 a month, real number is $11,879/ year AND then you still pay an EXTRA monthly fee. Seems Like a GREAT deal to me Sounds like a retarded person is making your laws up as they go, Oh wait its called socialism. Free market wins every time. I pay 96$ a month roughly for my health insurance, which I do NOT have to pay if I dont deem the expense necessary.
I do love my country, but Im not blinded by its issues, but I will say Id rather live here than 99.99% of the rest of the world.

I am afraid you don't understand much. I wanted to say "because you are from USA", because this immediately shows when I see "hurr-durr, I pay no tax, hurr-durr, free market, blah blah, I am free to do what I want beeecause I am an Americun and I do not pay for medical, no taxation, here is my big gun, I will defend myself, I am the best, hurr-durr". I heard/saw this so many times it started getting boring. You will never hear this from somebody from Germany, UK or India.

I did not claim that "health care is free" here, so God knows why are you trying to prove that I did say so. I said I pay for it mandatory 15 % of my gross income and in my book this is a lot and far from "free". Evasion is not possible because employer has to pay it before paying net salary to the employee. All legal income is subject to 15% health insurance.

There is no "panel". ALL medical services are included and free for everybody, paying for medical insurance out of their income or NOT (children, unemployed). It is free for retired people - they do not pay anything. This includes organ transplants, artificial hips, all surgeries and experimental/expensive cancer treatments. Level of medical care is comparable to that in Germany of France.

You are poorly educated and informed, yet you have very "strong opinions", hence your typical neo-liberal comments about "free market" (that has pretty much destroyed the world economy because "free markets" are a theoretical pipe dream). Also, places that have the highest taxes are the most desirable places to live. I will just mention Scandinavian countries in this regard. Free market is the reason why you have ghettos, gangs, homeless veterans and endless string of overseas wars and why this cancer is spreading around the world, my country included. Read something from Naomi Klein, Slavoj Zizek or Noam Chomsky.

Your own country did not develop strongly after WW II because of the free market. It was because of the Marshall plan and STRONG involvement of the state in economic affairs. Also, recovery after the Big Depression of the 30s was achieved using the same Keynesian measures. Those poorly informed would probably call this "socialist" measures, even though many people in USA see socialism as something inherently bad and to not understand that socialism and communism are not the same, that socialism varieties in Cuba, China or North Korea have very little in common and the most successful countries in the world have strong "socialist" background which has NOTHING to do with communist dictatorship. Please, learn a bit about this, there is no shame in not knowing something, but there is a big shame in not doing anything about that.

What country do you live in? Im from Surfers paradise Australia, lived in Wales with my fathers family from 10-14, and Holland through out my 8 years of University, now Im in the states for the past 8 years. Ive seen your ghettos first hand, watched morons fight over a foot ball game, knew 2 people who died of drug over doses, I laugh at you. Try your BS on someone who hasnt been there. Its pathetic really. Heres just the first few links that come up.

I can go on and on. But in the end you will come back and say some stupid crap about US rights. Dont hate, emulate fool.

So far you have managed to:

1. Argue that I said how health care is for free (which I did not),
2. Claim a lot of socio-economic nonsense, including "free market" fairy tale,
3. Surf the Web, find a few links and post them as a proof of something (only you know what),
4. Think that I am from UK (?!?!?!), which I am not, while my poor conduct of the English language should be a dead giveaway.

If I were you I would re-register under another name and start again on this forum.

Btw. I know a thing or two about health care system in UK and they have QUITE A LOT of cutting to do to reach rock-bottom levels of general health care system in USA for Average Joe.

If you have money, you can get great health care in Niger or Somalia too.

I didnt say you said your health care was free, I said its not free. Re read. I would assume you would know you dont get it for free, I was making sure you knew that you HAD to pay for it. I, on the other hand, am NOT forced to pay for it and have the WONDERFUL OPTION to NOT pay for it if I so desire. I never said I do not pay taxes so durr hurrr all you want freak. I do in fact pay taxes, property, sales, income, futa, suta, fica etc..  

Its apparent you dont understand simple concepts. There is no fairy tale about free market. Our economy is dictated by supply and demand, not what our government allows us to buy. Theres obviously quite a few variables constantly in play.  I think you just want to argue to argue and get the final word in.

And yes I did link you to a few actual facts, via the internet, which we are on. So whats your point?

I dont care if youre from the Uk or not, it doesnt concern me, you assume Im an American. Im not. But I do live here on a work Visa. And I do think this is an amazing country. I can say this as an actual fact from a foreigner.

If I were you I wouldnt tell people to do anything as you are no one to me or anyone else on this site. Its the internet, I dont think you can control anyone. Thanks for your suggestion though and have a great day instead!

Im glad you know a thing or two about the health care system in the UK, you would definitely know its screwed up. Do I care? No, because I dont deal with, I just openly mock it. Follow the first link I posted. Facts are facts, not opinions.

I do like to see other views on this subject, being here this long has made me wonder whats there to hate and be angry about. I dont agree with every action this government has done or is doing, but I dont think anyone is in any country. All the while, best of luck to your country in these poor economic times for everyone. And may there be peace on Earth!

Its apparent you dont understand simple concepts. There is no fairy tale about free market. Our economy is dictated by supply and demand, not what our government allows us to buy.

If you knew ANYTHING about economics, you would know that neoclassical model of demand and supply has around 60 constraints rendering it purely theoretical microeconomics model taught in initial economic courses, to make the students think and rationalize basic economic concepts.

Monopolies, imperfect competition, state and corporate influence and asymmetrical information are what influences formation of today's market.
In reality, there is no such thing as the "free market", anywhere in the world.

I wonder if you ever heard about famous Quantitative Easing, now in its 3rd edition. US printing money and flooding markets with worthless paper to devalue skyrocketing external debt purchased by the Chinese.
US effectively went bankrupt in 2008.
Dollar is worth NOTHING and backed by NOTHING.
We are all living on thin air now.

Is that "healthy free market" you are talking about?

Also, I would not like to pull rank in public, so I will tell you in private message what is my profession/background.

I'm kinda backing Axy on this one... I do believe socialism is a much better system than what the US has in place. Every day I work to support the DREGS that do not work. I don't mind feeding people that cannot work but HATE seeing able bodied people sitting on their asses watching Cable tv, or driving a Lexus to the Welfare office to bitch their water is getting cut off if you don't give me more money NOW.
I don't have ANY type of insurance because I work too hard for my money to pay it out for MAYBE'S. My Kid is grown, everything I own is paid for, and I HOPE if I ever need the Hospital it will be for the autopsy, and not a bashed up body. BUT if it is ... I'll go to the Welfare, and BITCH! Maybe they will give back some of my money.
