[quote=@SleepingSilence] [@Vilageidiotx] Well he also sites his sources. And you didn't answer my question about air line food? Dammit the hard hitting questions must be answered. :P [/quote] yeh, but it's twenty minutes and you can't skim a video. plus i know i can't trust some young republican ray william johnson looking motherfucker. Like I said, editorials are bad. Youtube is about as editorial as you can get. That's just one step above posting politically-charged memes. But if you like difficult links and want one that isn't editorial, lets try this. [url=http://www.queensu.ca/cora/_files/PublicPerceptions.pdf]A Report by the Canadian Government on public perceptions about healthcare.[/url] I skimmed this. The pertinent bits are... 1: Canadians are against the idea of privatizing their healthcare, quite strongly opposed. 85% of Canadians asked thought that privatizing the Canadian system would change life in Canada, and 87% of those thing the change would be negative. That's roughly a quarter of Canadians polled who thinks that privatizing the healthcare system would be bad for Canada. 2: People don't like the waits times. This is the common complaint, and it's sensible. Like I said in the black/white discussion, I don't believe in perfect fixes, and I think everything is usually imperfect and can be made better. So obviously I don't think there are any absolutely perfect healthcare systems. I feel the need to point out the main reason those wait times don't exist in the United States is that Americans generally can't afford to be on the ball with their healthcare needs, even with insurance. We don't have lines because we can't afford to go to the hospital unless we have to. So whereas the wait in the socialized system is something that needs to be addressed, it's better than the inability to pay for access altogether. As for airline food, I haven't flown for ten years and no matter how much I try, I can't find a fast food join that sells airplane food.
