Not to disagree overtly with the rest of your point, but the US is the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't have universal healthcare.

I am half Native American and I love and hate things about every American culture.

Racism will be abolished when we in the US stop trying to cover diversity up. We should celebrate our differences and acknowledge them, not try to ignore and hide them. When we can look at someone of a different color and say "that guy is brown, I am white, but I bet we can learn something from each other" then that will be a wonderful US.

Is it racist for me to think that some parts of black culture dress freaking awesome? Some really awesome styles that I wish I could pull off. I am not saying this out of racism but the fact that different races have various cultural differences that shouldnt be ignored or called racism, but just be considered different and ok.

they should, yet when we got socialized health care sort of like Canada, the rednecks and southern hicks bitched.

Yet people complain CEO's get six figure incomes and are making money off the lower worker. That they should be equal, what is it do they want then?

I was kinda referring to all including third world. I actually have no problem with government health care as long as it goes to people who deserve it and not lazy-***. MANY pages back I said I would be all for Obama Care as long as it goes to working people who are trying. But I get ya. I honestly do not know exactly how everyone in the world does it but I dont want my money going to people who can work and dont.

Says you. Everyone "deserves" what they work for. Air doesn't even come close as no one spends millions on getting air to you.

I have a mixture of several ethnicities in me, I usually ignore racist remarks and things. They never phase me on but, we have a lot of ethnic cultures for one. But there is only one race and that is the human race. So yeah I have a lot of ethnic blood running through my veins.

When referring to the US, yes I can say abolished. I am not on a world quest. I believe in taking care of home first before you go abroad.

What so you can say omg you only think that because you make so much?

Yes it makes sense that people would not want to pay for others healthcare.

While we are on the subject of necessary for life and deserve what about food water and shelter? All of those are much more vital to life. Should we just hand that out to everyone and force those with jobs to pay for it?

Actually we already do. You can get free housing and food from the government and it doesnt take much. Sad sad thing too.

I only ask because I tend to find that people who make comments such as yourself tend to be in the lowest part of the tax bracket paying the least (if anything) to social programs.

See Darki, here is where I like you. We debated all day and even though we dont see eye-to-eye we have no malice towards one another. That's what true debate should be.

sad thing for the freeloaders who can actually get up on their *** and do it.

good thing for the people who actually need this kind of help
I believe it's been discussed before~
