True that. You don't make near as much money with a career in the medical field over there, but at the same time it's more affordable over there. When one pair of disposable rubber gloves, which I burn through 1 box of approx. 200 of on a busy day, costs $20 on an EMS bill, something is wrong IMO

That, or I really am throwing away $2,000 of the hospital's money every single day with how much I go through those gloves

Sounds cool ^_^

It's cold outside today, so I has hot chocolate :3

EDIT:
Well I just discovered something that killed my entire day, and makes me want to punch someone in the face. A bill from when the Omni was totaled in September 2010 has come back to haunt me, as the assholes just now deduct the money for the payment I scheduled last week (After a collection agency called me about the unpaid bill, which I sent in the info to have it paid eons ago but nothing happened), and now my bank account is overdrawn and there's literally nothing I can do until I get paid again, lest I start selling off stuff; the only thing being that I can't think of anything I'd be willing to part ways with that would get me the $50 needed to get me back on my feet >_<

What the fuck kind of country says their police do not have a duty to provide service to the people?

Guys, seriously.  MOVE THE FUCK AWAY.  Go somewhere that actually cares about its citizens...

Seriously, man, it gets tiring.

For the record, my perfect chimera country would basically entail the healthcare system of Canada, the educational system of Sweden, and the everything else of the United States. -w-

Do we really need this to happen again? >.>

Can't we have a civil political discussion without some sort of sh**storm erupting over whose country sucks the least?

Would everyone like to know what's really the best country to live in right now for really real is?  Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan, that's right, that country everyone thought Herman Cain made up, it's real.  I've been there to visit a couple of times now, and I have to say, it's pretty freaking great.  It has highest standards for education, and obesity and poverty are non-existent.  Everyone has a job and feels like they're a part of something great.  Everyone believes and lives freely without impeding on the lives of their neighbor.  The best part about all of this?  No one from Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan tells you their country is the best place to live.  No one.  They simply have no care to mention it.  Why, you ask?  They're too busy enjoying their lives of freedom and pleasure.  What do they care that not everyone else enjoys the life that they do, their lives aren't measured based on comparison.  It's enough for them to simply live and let live.

Can't we live and let live, people?

Dude, you're so lucky - I've wanted to travel to Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan since, like, forever ago! It sounds like a paradise on earth, with a perfect mix of personal freedoms, government regulation and social responsibility! Truly, all nations could learn from their glorious utopian society.

Though the not having obesity thing must upset the native population of chubby chasers...

Everyone has a job

What? They have to WORK? This cannot be the best place on Earth. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Yep, responsibilities are the best, aren't they?

Looking back, perhaps I should've said everyone has a career, as in, everyone has a purpose in life.  Nihilists don't much care for Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan, but Beki-bekis don't much care that they don't care.  Live and let live.

All kidding aside, let's try to choose our wording more carefully when we have a statement to make, and at the same time, perhaps we should also try to be less easily offended as well.  I think we'd all much prefer self-governance in this regard than the potential banning of all even remotely political discussion, right guys?  Don't we like our own little Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan the way it is?

Wait, are we all talking about the same Uzbekistan here?

Bells, seeing as we have more healthcare stuff than what Canada offers, you could just move here if that's what you want. ^^

If you mean "are we talking about the RL Uzbekistan?" then No.

Also, I agree with Dan - I'd hate for some rule to be made about there being no talk about politics, nationalities, religion, etc., chiefly because I loath censorship, and secondly because I like and respect everyone here and feel that I can engage you guys in intelligent conversation about fairly weighty topics. (And even when it does stoop to shit-storm levels, I don't lose respect for anyone - I may disagree with their stance, yes, but I don't hold it against anyone personally.) To be told we couldn't bring up those topics because of the assumption that we couldn't handle them in a mature way would be condescending...

But I imagine Sweden is uber-difficult to immigrate to? Otherwise you guys would be overrun with foreigners. -w-

Wait what's that?  I just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing before I say "yes, I agree" or "no, I don't agree"...

WE ARE OVERRUN WITH FOREIGNERS. Hell, Södertälje county (and it's not that big - ~50k people or so, or so it was 10 years ago) has received more refugees from the Iraqi crisis than ALL OF THE US. >_>
