I agree that this won't have any effect. But the people that don't care are presumably the people they are trying to target. Fruitlessly, of course.

I agree inasmuch as before 18 (or the point of maturity, which may vary from person to person) one cannot consent. Beyond this we should be allowed to make 'mistakes'. Inheritance is different because that covers material goods, not required for survival. They can be given away in life. Organs...

In selling an organ they would be saving a life. As such a fan of social responsibility surely you would support a system whereby the chance of receiving an organ donation would be increased. They would be 'skipping' waiting lists, there would be two separate lists. Live donors/dead donors. The...

People can do what they want with their own body. I bet there is somebody right now that needs a kidney, but I suspect you are not keen to donate yours. Do you not believe that people should be able choose to donate to a family member rather than an unknown? As I've said when dead none of this...

I don't understand. I never mentioned how/why people can/cannot afford medical insurance. This is not about what people deserve but what they are entitled to do with the money that they have earned through legitimate contracts. As I've said people own themselves, and as a result they own the...

Consent cannot be inferred when the voting system is not representative. Also just because the majority say something doesn't make it morally right. The fire service is clearly suited to monopoly conditions, but if somebody wanted to take out private fire protection in addition to this I...

Guilt is the worst form of thought control. I blame Christianity.

a) yes they do. They earn more and hence provide more in taxes. This is exaggerated further by progressive taxation, which I believe is in place in every country in the western world B) this doesn't matter. They are being taxed anyway without their consent, so whether they are concerned by the...

Even if you support a state healthcare system it is phenomenally stupid to disagree with private treatment. The people with access to private healthcare: a) Contribute more towards the state funded health service, benefiting those that use it B) Do not use the state funded service, benefiting...

As I recall they were in response to somebody being offended by something really benign. I made a few. One probably involved that well known lynching picture.

I live in a smallish town, 70,000 people. We have one hospital, but that information is pretty useless without knowledge of how big/efficient that hospital is. I'd say relatively poor, but I've only been to other/bigger/better hospitals as a kid.

Increase the size of the pie and everybody gets a bigger slice. While it is true that 'everybody gets equal care', quite often that 'equal care' is nowhere near the required standard. The NHS regularly just says "no you can't have that cancer drug, because we couldn't afford to give it to...

Having played both (but owning neither) I would definitely go for the DS.

Come to Britain, try out the NHS and then tell me socialism is beneficial for the healthcare of a nation.

Become a Priest.

hey guys whats up

This is a mathematically poor way of doing things though.
