The internet is, after all, the most important battleground on which the American warrior wages war these days.
God knows most of us are too fat to do it anywhere else.

Oh, sorry! Continue to fight for freedom online! It'll make a huge difference

That's a pretty despicable position - if anything happens to the young healthy male, eg: an accident (which happens to young healthy males) they will be financially ruined. You are telling them to forgo that insurance knowing you won't be around to help them when something happens, all so you can have more money at the end of the day. :shakehead:

---

So?  What does that have to do with rational decisions on your own finances?  Do you need your hand held through everything?  I was a young male and I wanted to opt out and use the money otherwise.  It was the right choice.  Shouldn't people have the right to choose their own level of risk?  Why do you feel the need for a perpetual womb?

Regardless of how inexpensive it might be? It's not like "healthy" young males are immune to spectacularly expensive accidental injuries.

QFT.

So?  So many wimps with no balls.  Do you know the best way to avoid catastrophic losses as a young healthy male?  Don't ride a motorcycle.

dude, it's just "the way we were raised" in this country... forget about it, these dudes will NEVER listen because it would destroy their core home values of what it means to be "philosopher on the subject".

or at least, i wish you would... maybe they'd eventually get off their high horse themselves, if not provoked. just saying... it's endless.

Do you feel the same way about car insurance?

you realize, psi, that he's merely telling people to take the position that "IF you are willing to be un-safe, you should do so" right?

Whoever came up with this idea must be used to only going to crappy chain restaurants.

How the hell am I supposed to know the calorie content of new daily menu items?

---

As a restauranteur? You'd ask the chef what goes into the new dish, take out a calculator, and come up with a figure.

If you can keep books you can surely accomplish this. If you have passed the sixth grade you can surely accomplish this.

---

Have you worked in the industry?

I'd think not, or you would realize how absurd that statement is.

Just a salad can have 20+ ingredients including protein, various lettuce/veg and house-made dressing ingredients.

Try figuring it out for yourself. It isnt easy.

Chefs/cooks already have little to none downtime during a shift. They dont have time to be calculating every little ingredient that goes in to a daily menu/feature.

This would kill the privately owned restaurant market.

[...]

EDIT: As my view, and the few of many chefs, if you dont like the food we serve. Go somewhere else. Nobody is forcing you to eat here.

You're joking right?  You have a 4x higher chance to be in a collision causing injury on a motorcycle than in a car.  That is not even close to the only thing you need to be specifically concerned about.  There are tons of illnesses that accidents that could easily bankrupt a person without health insurance regardless of age.

No, I do not.  Liability is not for your protection.  It is mandated by the state to insure that the damage your 4,000 pound gasoline bomb does to others will be paid for

silly Canuck, you have freedom lite.

"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
Thomas Jefferson

this is what separates us, and why your people will always play second fiddle.

Alright dude, listen.

180 countries on earth have freedom, they've had it for hundreds of years too. Most of them have had no threat against there freedom for years. Hell if you asked most of them to trade their freedoms for American freedom, they would spit in your face, fuck you in the ass and cum in your mouth and tell you to fuck off.

None of us has had to fight for our freedom in our lifetime minus the few WW2 vets that are still alive. Even so, was Hitler really a threat to the US freedom? He couldn't even invade a small island 100 miles away from Germany.

Sure there was that minor event of 911. A few thousand died. To be honest you kinda had it coming, with all the wars you waged against the middle east as a national hobby. You guys built a brand new jet and wanted to play with it, I get that.

Plus freedom... How do you even threatned that? Its not like some guy can walk in the US and be like Yoink!! I got your freedom, catch me if you can!

You know what you guys are best at though? Taking freedom away for a long fucking time for minor offenses. #1 in the world in jail population per capita! Congratulations. You win.

When I hear you Americans bragging about freedom its kinda bragging that you have the telephone... wouptidoo, everybody on earth has a fucking telephone.

So just stop it with your quotes and freedoms and shit. Its old news.

No - he's urging young people to forgo insurance to make himself richer... It's a shame if any impressionable young minds do listen to him, take him at his word and don't sign up for health insurance  - and something happens to them.
