    Your freedom only lasts as long as you do not cross the path of a "big shot" (rich and powerful). Is the same thing here on Brazil. It is because of situations like that every citizen should have guns.

Look, I do not intend at any time here being "elitist"... But at the same time that the "digital revolution" allowed access to the masses, also allowed access to the modern caveman.

    It is because of this north-american mentality that humanity will be extinct soon, friend. Well ... Where do you read what I wrote that would be "just for some"? Is for ALL, dude, a concept the U.S. are unable to accept. ALL pay a portion via taxes and ALL receive the benefits. It is not perfect and never will be, but it is light years ahead of joke U.S. private healthcare system where those who can afford will live, and who can not pay ... dies. Keep your sick culture to yourself, please.

    You are misinformed. The government here is offering very good salaries for doctors, the "gotcha" is that these doctors are needed in remote places of the country. Our doctors want to be paid very well and only serve wealthy patients in capital cities, which is why it is not working.

    Correct, but here in Brazil the health care system is paid with tax money. You pay, but indirectly.

    Universal healthcare here (Brazil) is paid with tax money. It is fairer than the private healthcare system because it allows everyone to get treatment and all divide the bill through tax money. Be better informed before writing nonsense.

    False. "supply and demand" only works in economic theory. In our harsh reality you have monopolies, combination of prices between vendors, even plain extortion. The average buyer becomes obligated to purchase for $10000 regardless of whether he can spend this or not, even though the market has only one buyer in a thousand able to pay $10000.

    One example? On my country (Brazil), You can get government-subsidized loans with the bank to afford homes costing up to, say, $30000. Most homes here do not cost all that to be built, the majority could be sold at a good profit for let's say $10000. But what happens? Because people can apply for loans of up to 30000, then out of nowhere all the houses now cost at least that (but they actually cost much less than that). The result is that most homes are unoccupied, for those who can not afford them or who do not accept pay them.

    (And do not take this as a personal offense... But for me the north-american mentality of "maximum profit at any cost" is a cancer that will wipe out humanity soon or later.)

    You humans do have serious problems with extremes. The point is: I are the builder. I spent $1000 to make the house. If I sold for $2000, I will have a generous 100% profit. But, why I need to sell for $10000 just because someone can afford this? And worst of all my friend, maybe the buyer can pay $10000, but why he would do that when he knows that my house would cost at most $2000? Or I as builder end up getting nothing at all, or I end up starting another housing bubble, and you already know what happens when it bursts.

    In summary: Having some profit is acceptable. Horever, to want 900% profit as in the example is simply stupid, blind greed.

    It's the same thing I would do. If my child was being abused, I would go to school. I then would break the spine of the bully, and his father complained, I also send him to the hospital. It is the only language bullies understand.

  22. 15-year olds sociopaths. Bullies needs do be jailed for life, because they are simply unable to live in society. and if that is not enough, then they should be killed. And if that does not happen now, it will happen sooner or later when they become adults. Therefore it is better to kill then before they cause innocent victims.

    Wrong. Everything goes down if the builders can continue asking millions for homes that were built using only a tenth of what they are asking. It will not do anything doubling or tripling the number of homes if no one can afford them.

    ...everybody knows these guys have money so they charge accordingly

    This is the fundamental root of the whole problem. If the builder has spent $ 1000 to build a house and there is someone who can afford to pay 10000, the builder does not want to receive, say, 2000 by the house (which would be already a 100% profit!). No, he wants to receive the 10000 merely because someone can pay. Pure and simple greed in action.

    He may be wrong on some points, but he did not say at any time that blacks can not change. And I do not need statistics to conclude that he is right in what he said, I just need to go outside. Here is obvious the culture of violence, young blacks boast about of being gang members, their language is 80% violence and profanity. Poor young whites do the same thing, but is most common to I see blacks doing it. Racism? No, unfortunately this is what I see happening on the streets here, I like it or not.

    (And as he said, people can change to better. But they have to want to do this and it is not what is happening with the majority.)
