  1. What are these death panels Americans talk about? I'd imagine US insurance companies are more likely to have those given the need for profit over people.

    That's how medical insurance works too only not as well.

  3. Re: 75p's worth on Russia-Linked Accounts Were Active on Facebook Ahead of Brexit (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    The Electoral Commision has concluded that Russian influence had very little effect so if you know differently I'd get in touch with them urgently. I think you're overestimating the power of social media to influence the over 60s.

    I don't think Putin had much to do with it though. Brexit to me is a purely British fuck up driven by xenophobia, a hankering for the days of Empire (while forgetting how truly terrible the days of Empire were for most of the people of this country and the rest of the countries we invaded) and a relentless campaign of lies by large sections of the British press. The Remain campaign were also pretty useless with Project Fear instead of trying to talk up all the advantages of being in the EU.

    That assumes we know everything about the universe and can tell the difference between natural and artificial and that time hasn't eroded the evidence.

    I'm not a communist you pea brained fuckwit. When I go to the doctor the only thing I have to worry about is getting better, not whether I can afford it as well. That's not communism you negative IQ bellend.

    The whole internet is a sea of unreasonableness. Do you want me to post people "reasoning out" things on Twitter?

    Yes I am. Did MLK and the KKK have lively debates about the merits of segregation then? If so you might want to change your history books.

    I don't disagree but I'm yet to see any of the race hatred (or white male hatred on the other side) being "reasoned out"

    Exaggeration much? There's a huge difference between not wanting people to be bankrupted by getting sick and the mass murder of millions. BTW the Nazis were socialists in the same way as North Korea is a democracy.

    If you were at risk from dying by being locked in a warehouse you should, through the magic of capitalism, instantaneously acquire another job at another warehouse which, of course, will be totally safe.

    The Google controlled old version of the Linux kernel in Android is not desktop Linux and any organisation that gives their staff access to Google Play is asking for trouble.

    Don't worry, there are literally millions of other organisations flocking to desktop Linux due to its many advantages over the alternatives.
