....are you all still out there, someplace?
Anyhow, if you are, I'd love to hear the take from the Old World on the US Healthcare debate. Somehow,
I suspect hilarity ensues if you get to see some of the advertisements and political talking heads from this side of the pond.
Anyone care to step into this one?

Then again I love the snow...anyway as a Canuck cannot really add anything to the debate that would not be dismissed as ramblings from a furrener who is even an ex-pat to boot.

Their opinions don't matter. Kinda like how our opinions here about Tony Blair don't matter.

We'll see buddy I got my Canada toque ready ... my boss is Russian btw should be fun.
@Ruggbutt yea doesn't prevent everyone from chiming in anyway does it?
I sure the hell won't shut up if I read or hear about outrageous crap go down in some shithole casue "it's their culture"... but that's maybe different.

I don't give a rat's ass about youse guys' healthcare system. Honest
US policies interest me only insofar as they have an impact on my side of the pond and/or if they are stoopid enough that I can call you a bunch of tards.

If you swap the word FRACH for US I agree wholeheartedly. Most people don't give a shit about the people living on the next block, much less across an ocean.

That's one of the dumbest things you've ever said in here.
Given your statement, then it stands to reason that YOUR opinion on absolutely anything non-American doesn't matter either.
I guess I won't bother asking you how you feel about diamond smuggling out of South Africa or whale hunting off Japan or capital punishment in Canada.
Your opinion won't matter. You're an American after all.
