I would totally quit my job if I didn't need it for the insurance! I'll pay my rent in Band-Aids! FREE SOCIALIST BAND-AIDS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's always so sad when a vet fixes a wild bird's broken wing, and then when released, the bird refuses to look for its own food but instead hangs out at the vet office for more wing-fixing.

I need to stop arguing in the comments section of a blog about socialized medicine and how people will stop working if America gets socialized medicine.
Look at what happened in Japan, nobody does any work there. That's why my Honda had to be made in Canada.

askye just made my head explode.
One, no one has ever proposed socialized medicine in this country, only single payer.
Under the bird analogy, people would go to the doctor all the time, not stop working. Also, they would scatter millet seeds and sunflower hulls everywhere.
Re the lottery analogy: how does his brain even make human speech?

I think I need Jesse's jujitsu to get people to do what I want. Instead I just used ALL CAPS in an email. I am trying to rid myself of the desire to be RIGHT, rather than getting what I want, but it is very hard. Also, since this is the theatre, and some involved are students, I also need them to know that had they handled things differently, there would not be a problem.

Put a bird feeder in your backyard. See if any birds come for the free food. See if more keep coming.
Yes! Because every time I go to the doctor, I refuse to leave until she's gotten the insurance company to also pay my rent and buy me lunch. OBVIOUSLY.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My near-libertarian niece once criticized the earned income tax credit as "socialist." When I asked her how the EITC caused the government to own the means of production, she asked what that had to do with anything.
Never did give me an answer.

Thrive to spite them
So now he's saying this:
It never ceases to amaze me that human nature has to be explained. Should I have to explain that guys are more into looks than women? Should I need to prove that? Or can you just think about your life's experiences?
Also he said that if people want insurance they should pay for it. And I pointed out again that 1) a lot of people can't afford it even if they work full time and 2) some people can't get insurance companies to cover them.
It's also the last I'm going to say because this guy's logic is not earth logic.
