You are forever telling everybody how they should live, and moreover if they don't like it they should leave. You're not seeing any irony with that?

Your causal connection between universal healthcare and crime is tenuous at best. You've written an opinion piece.

My position on universal healthcare is based on my experience growing up with it, along with solid statistics such as total cost as a percentage of GDP and average life expectancy. Whereas you true believers are 100% certain you are right even though none of you has any real evidence to support it. Certainty, sans evidence. There's a word for that... |
