Letting people die for having a bad head start in life is a bit much and it wouldn't do much for society.. If addicts aren't being treated in rehab there'd be a lot more on the streets, knowing they're going to die anyway so happily killing people for money, it wouldn't help matters to just leave them where they are. I mean taxpayers would be fine and happy if they didn't have to worry about paying for them anymore, if they were practically dead inside, but there are too many really caring people on the planet for that to ever be allowed to happen, thankfully. Yeah I know you help most of them then they're back in the same grotty street corner a month later, THEN you can call them a waste of space if you want, I'd be less inclined to care about them at that point, but they're not all write-offs- they're still human, and people can change if you let them.
Actually, I'm not sure if I'm that against the idea of them not collecting benefits though, they should be treated equally and that means being made capable and then having to work like everyone else. Capable being the key word. Getting back on your feet into society is harder than it sounds. But how is someone ever meant to contribute to society again if you just let them die...

Some people don't care enough for themselves and you want to play Mommy to them after the destroy their health creating even more of a social burden on the healthy. It's bad enough I have to worry about some drunken (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) hitting me on the road and how after busting my arse running 5 miles a day, I have to pay for some loser who doesn't care about jackchit?

Do feel for my fellow man? Yes and I care for those that are in need, I don't buy drugs for dopers and I don't give money to drunks or junkies. I've done my time with these issues and walking away from them is the best thing you can do, they call that "tough love" . So if you really "feel" for these losers have a few over for dinner and you can dish out "your" money and take care of them.

The problem with this country today is that every sorry so-and-so that has a hand out gets away with it, instead of looking down on them and making them feel like they are wrong, you libs turn it around and try to make US responsible folks feel guilty... Go F yourself and take your pity party with you.

People Die deal with it, you might think Humans are superior to everything on the planet but in the scope of things we are the disease of the planet.

"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in Men."
LOL, did you tell me to go F myself??? I guess you dont like that I dont praise your lack of humanity and compassion for your fellow human beings...I know that in some circles such character flaws are held in high regard.

I know people die and I do deal with it, but letting them die and suffer needlessly because we want to sit in judgement of them and fear they may cost us money we could spend on useless crap instead is hardly some unchangeable "fact of life". Its just selfishness and extreme inhumane cruelty trying to seek some rationalization.

You fancy yourself displaying "moral courage" do ya? I dont think plain old selfishness and angry judgemental tendencies are going to pass for moral courage..but feel free to try and convince yourself and others of that!

So before a person can get health care, they must prove they dont drink, dont smoke, dont eat junk food and exercize every day....gee who is going to be on that "judgement panel" and how much is that going to cost? How many people will die waiting for their judgement process to be completed...no chemo therapy for you until we first make sure you didnt bring it on yourself!

No thanks, reading that once was quite enough. I got your "let em eat cake" sentiment. It wasnt exactly complicated.

Seeing that you can't read and are ignorant of what health Insurance Companies do ...They can deny you insurance already for a number of pre-existing conditions, being fat is one of them, being a drug addict is one of them, and the list goes on.

Then I never suggested having any panel of judges to determine who would or would not qualify. I say pay your own way and if you can't maybe you shouldn't be putting back 10 beers a day at $5 each at the local Pub. That $150 a month could be your health and part of an insurance payment if you want it.

They can also not accept you because you had breast cancer! Its just a way of placing profit over human well being and health which is WHY its not an industry that should be lead by profit concerns and its WHY it should be a socialized scheme and WHY we should eliminate health insurance companies.

People currently do a great deal of suffering due to this.

What you fail to realize is that many people who do their best to live healthy and dont engage in those behaviors can still be POOR and they can still get SICK.

Finding a way to blame humans for being human is a silly endeavor and one designed to rationalize a "dog eat dog" mentality.

Making me responsible for you or anyone else is weak. I won't ask you when I'm injured or sick, I'll deal with the situation.

I don't fail to realize the stuff happens for absolutely no reason at all. I know people that just died and never saw it coming. Our original premise was people who destroy themselves and don't care for themselves.

No I am making your responsible for statements like "LET EM DIE". I am holding you responsible for your own inhumane attitude towards your fellow human beings...the same attitude that has lead us to some of the worst atrocities and avoidable sufferings of man.

We are a social species and the fact is, we DO depend on each other and to pretend otherwise is a futile exercise.

They are not "My" "fellow" humans. They are individuals not of my doing.

You want humane, Have you ever saved another persons life at risk of your own? Have you run into the face of death and saved another human fro their demise? I'll make it easy, do you know CPR?

By the way you're not holding me to anything until you walk a mile in my shoes so you can do what I suggested earlier.

You philosophy is misguided from the start, if you want to be the Mommy of the world be my guest, just do it with out intruding on everyone else. Do as I do...pull a few bucks out of your pocket and take some time and work at a shelter for those that ARE trying to get ahead. Then you have some weak idea about the value of human life, it's not valuable.

I'm going to start a new thread called 'what is the value of human life" seeing that I know it has no value just a vanity of man to think he means something as a being on this planet.
