LOL!

I think we should adopt a socialist government and finally have a chance to move forward..

Bollocks to socialism, it's just communism with a smile.

Just two things I want to say:

Heavy control on guns - well ain't that a good thing? I seriously don't understand the American attitude to guns. Yes, I'll admit that I own an air rifle and a .410, and that my dad let's me use the 12 bore shotguns whenever I want to, but I use them to shoot cans, or dead light bulbs. And the occasional rat at the stables (we've got goats, and if the rats get into their hay there's a good chance they'll spread an infection and kill the goats. And they're nasty creatures anyway, are rats). I don't use them to feel 'safe', or pretend to be tough, I see them as a leisure thing. Heavy control on guns (which I assume means people won't be able to carry a concealed firearm, or any firearm at all) can only be good.

Health Care Ideas - again I'm assuming, because I don't know Obama's policies: he wants free health care, right? How can one not agree with that? I personally find it sickening that people in a country like America have to pay through the nose for health care. I get free dental checkups, free medicine, free vaccinations, free hospital stays and mostly free surgery, all on the NHS (which, to tell the truth, is falling apart quicker than a rag doll with leprosy. The damned thing is a black hole, with millions of pounds disappearing into it yearly with nary a trace, yet the system still works!). Fuck the Iraq war, spend billions on health care instead.

Totally agree with you Lenny, 100% hands down.

Tell us again how much America sucks ;).

Sum Yung Guy 2008-10-03 08:16 AM

Everyone join the military! Free dental checkups, free medicine, free (mandatory) vaccinations, free hospital stays and free surgery! Free housing, free electricity, free water, free heat! Cheap food, tax free stores! Free, free-free, free and free!

Yeah, slavery isn't exactly no cost.

Sum Yung Guy 2008-10-03 01:36 PM

I'd feel more like a slave sitting in a cubicle writing lines of code all day. Glad I have the opportunity to travel the world, see the good and bad sides of our planet.

Lenny 2008-10-03 02:44 PM

Ah, but those who write the lines of code could be writing the lines of code that create a whole new world. ;) Or even the lines of code that control the re-spawn procedure after BOOM! Headshot. :p

No free healthcare for the American coders, though, even if they are fighting a daily battle with the horrible enemy that is... erm... the .NET framework?

/signed. I don't want to get shot. I have less a chance of it in a cubicle anyways.

WetWired 2008-10-03 06:18 PM

The thing is my employer doesn't own me

Yeah, until someone goes postal and feels he is worth more than what the company is paying him...

Mix 1 part Economic Downfall with 2 parts Manic Depression, with a dash of Paranoia, and you have the recipe for workplace mayhem. Serve with a side of Cruel Irony for a truly superior flavor.

And remember, "We Work Hard To Ensure YOUR Safety! Thanks, and Have A Nice Day!"

EDIT: Well looky here...
