eqtworld: When Hillary socializes health care, all you will have to do is say your toe hurts and you can just just live in the hospital like an apartment with free cleaning and furniture and food for as long as you want.

wow, just wow

I thought the homeless just built shanties on Bondi beach.

Based on the headline, I blame gays.

Who does this guy think he is, traipsing jobless around Europe without bathing, probably stinking drunk half the time, wasting the time of everyone he meets?

I had to pay $900 per credit for that!

 
BatardAmericain 2008-01-12 04:44:00 PM  
This could never happen in the United States. Without medical insurance he would be kicked out on his can. Maybe he'd get a night, but he'd probably spend it on a gurney in a hallway. He's what U.S. doctors call a GOMER...Get Out of My ER

What's the big deal? He'll still get free room and board.

/problem solved.

The sausage is one of the best meals in prison. Oh and the showers are great. You laugh, but I keed you not.

/'srsly?

 
Pollexabator 2008-01-12 04:47:12 PM  
Prison rape is most funny when the recipient is a non-violent offended. Ha, ha, defraud the government, sell weed, etc and you gonna get raped. And THAT'S funny!!!1!

/do you people have access to prison guard web cams or something?

I think we can all agree that there's nothing funnier than rape.

Prison rape should be the idea behind the next reality show.

Why Vienna sausage?

FTA: "or faked problems with his kidneys."

I read that as 'or farked problems'. I spend too much time on Fark.

Where have you been going to the hospital? Any major public hospital (I guess that's the catch) there's at least ten of those guys in the building at any one time. More if it's cold out. The smart ones tell you they have chest pain that subsides when they rest.

What's more... most public hospitals have what's refered to as a social hold. i.e. I can dicharge the patient medically, I can't discharge the patient because if he was out on the street, he'd get himself sicker.

So yeah, this happens all the time. It's just not that the medical community is hoodwinked for so long. Or if we even care that we're hoodwinked in the first place. The primary goal is to not get sued anyway.

/Hate that about medicine
//Not a threadjack, I swear. :)

"When Hillary socializes health care, all you will have to do is say your toe hurts and you can just just live in the hospital like an apartment with free cleaning and furniture and food for as long as you want"

And it will be the younger generation funding the bulk of it. Aint life grand?

You mean like the appartnment, free cleaning, furniture and food he'll be getting in prison?

What's the difference now?

Rape is considered funny when the victim is male.

I was talking to an Australian the other week and he said the Aborigines there use the Australian health service like you wouldn't believe. Eg a mother wants to "go walkabout" (ie wander about and get shiatfaced drunk) so she takes her kids to the hospital and says "yeah, there's something wrong with them". The kids get kept in for observation, the mother vanishes and spends a few weeks shacking up with a new guy and drinking then turns up again a few weeks later to reclaim the kids. All on the taxpayer. Which the Abos aren't.

 
the_chief 2008-01-12 05:13:26 PM  
Oh, I pulled a GW and read it as Australia.

 
tiamet4 2008-01-12 05:20:52 PM  
Suede head, probably as far as the Aborigines are concerned, it's just collecting the rent

so are european prisons just as bad as american prisons are portrayed? i have no first hand experience in either case, but for some reason my brain is telling me that european prisons are more civilized to some degree and not as violent. anybody know?

i would imagine it to be the other way around, seeing as a large portion of our (US) prisoners are there for victimless crimes, and over there they imprison far fewer people, and those people probably for significant crimes most of the time

Suede head: Ah, yes, the Internet Tough Guy's best friend, the Internet Taxpayer. I was all set to ask you if the Australians have a cool word for "mother's basement" but I see you're not actually one yourself.

For the record, white Australians use "abo" like white Americans use the n-word. Just sayin'.

Yeah but Vienna sausages are made in Chicago

 
HoratioGates 2008-01-12 05:47:57 PM  
So because he couldn't find a decent homeless shelter he chose to play sick and cost the state much more. Solution... instead of putting him in a homeless shelter they'll put him in prison, which costs much more than him staying in a homeless shelter and puts a roof over his head like he wanted in the first place? That's some good police work there, Lou.

Irish prisons aren't as bad. You still get raped, but it's with a very small penis. I'm not sure, but I think I've heard Germans notorious for being nice to their prisoners.

 
elided 2008-01-12 06:12:45 PM  
If only that man were a woman! Then it would be amusing and turn me on at the same time.

 
Kareeshus 2008-01-12 06:17:23 PM  
Don't they have homeless shelters over there? Is there really no easier way to get a bed and a meal than hospitals & prisons?

 
BatardAmericain 2008-01-12 06:17:25 PM  
HoratioGates: but it's with a very small penis.

And this knowledge is probably accurate given the frequency with which the Irish wiener is displayed, either in public urination or self exposure, both due to alcohol consumption.

It's only small when you pee on your nut sack.

So? There's still unwanted penetration.
