I think it's a bit of bullshit that I get attacked for having a strong argument against govt healthcare and it being "our" problem, but the "Emperor" gets a pass for his snide remarks. You're entitled to your opinion, but I fired back the way I did because of your snotty remarks. If you want socialized healthcare so much, move to Canada. I hear it's great as long as you don't get sick.

C3PX made "snotty" remarks and Jay made "snide" remarks? You should give people the benefit of the doubt more. I also think you're being overly defensive. The world isn't helped by winning arguments alone. Truth is what's actually important and if people want to express their emotions and look down on others, that's their ridiculous prerogative. Even if you're right about what you feel is coming from others, you can be better than that. Why behave in an equally meaningless manner?

My philosophy, when it comes to individual cases that seem wrong, is to simply say that shit happens. The girl losing assistance is sad, but the fact that we use government to assist people is also sad. The world moves on. There are bigger problems than one girl and yet just one more example of corrupt, government assistance.
