Not the volunteers...in the movie he is dealing with people who volunteered their time and came from other FDs (like one guy in the movie is from NJ)
Wish I had seen this before the previous post. The First Responders he took to Cuba may have volunteered their time, but they still have the insurance they do because they are union. It is their insurance that they recieved from the union reps negotiations with the state/city.

I will have to watch it again to see how many non First Responders he took with him, maybe just that one section. Maybe Ill just call my friend who also voluteered to work on the Pile.

You have to hand it to Cuba. Their health care and education systems are fantastic compared to the USA if you figure how poor a country they are. Just think what the USA could do if we took a few lessons (in these two areas only). Cuba proves it won't break your economy and health care is not about crippling taxes it about dumping the greed.
Cubans have an economy?

And you have no response to my other replys?

Notice in Moore's footage there are allmost nothing but pre 60's cars on the streets. Thriving economy.
what other replies? I have been out of town and there is no way I am going back and responding to each post now.

Do you have a couple in particular in mind I can respond.

I didn't say thriving (which is hard when the USA shuts you out) but new cars in not everything.

The fact that they have a poor economy makes my point even better. How can a country with such a bad economy (an island with few resources) manage to provide as much as they do for the sick and uneducated.

I understand socialists are lazy, you can peruse the thread at your leisure.

The USA is the only country, Im aware of, that has an embargo on Cuba. I can get Cuban cigars in Canada.

Again what economy? Dosent everything go to the state and doled out from there?

A well placed :p would be nice. I know you are fond of the attack stuff so one might assume this is personal attack. Its not lazy but more boredom to be honest...........
How is that well placed?? that wasnt even a white post.

Of course Im attacking Socialists.

Boredom? Lets see, what leads to lazieness... Hmmm what could it be? Lazieness?

Even the left leaning CNN didnt buy into Mr Moore's movie, Im begining to wonder why you did? Michael Moore's health care solution.

How can they have an GDP if everything is owned by the gov? Governments dont produce anything but laws and regulations.

I don't have time to give a social studies lesson but....Your economy is your system of making, distributing and using goods and services...with that in mind, just because the government controls all of those parts doesn't mean it not an economy.

Economics is not the study of Profit. Profit is not needed to have an economy.

Gross Domestic Product has nothing to do with profit. Profit can drive people to produce more but is not required for production.

I completely don't follow your logic...how does boredom lead to laziness? When I get bored I go find something else to do to end my boredom. If you get bored and then do nothing (be lazy) doesn't your boredom get worse?

I can't wait to see you explain yet another logical faux pas


Whats with your "White letters"?

Communisom is profit for the state. So how can they have a GDP if the state is only allowwed a profit? There is no GDP in a Communist society, there is only a GP.

An economy is at the hands of the will of the people. Tie those hands the economy is at the will of the government, which means no economy.

Of course you dont follow my logic. Im not suprised at all.

You find something else to occuppy your time, rather than look at my arguments against Mr Moore's movie because you agree with him and would rather look at a shiney bauble than have to actually think for yourself over Moore's preachings.

My white posts are an indication to me, that somebody has actually read and responded to what I have posted. It is my insurance that people who actually read my posts, reread them when they see the white post. If they post and dont bother reading the white posts, they are responding out of dogmatic teachings.

You clearly don't understand what the word economy or term GDP means or you have invented your own definition.

Going back over your posts........I was gone for my computer for 3 days and 15 pages have been created since I was gone. I read your posts as I skimmed the thread and I didn't really see any new or interesting enough to comment on.

I skim over threads I dont find interesting also.

You agree with Mr Moore and his movies. Why should you be botherred to investigate further?

I look into both sides of an issue even if it is one I agree with, unlike yourself Amanda.

Even CNN, for once, has done some digging.
