Comments by "LancesArmorStriking" (@LancesArmorStriking) on "How French Health Care Compares To The US System" video.

@juniorcartel Remember that the French healthcare system is already twice as cheap to maintain as the American one. Imagine the protests if they were switched to American healthcare...

@marcusmagice And France is subsidizing its Algerian population in the same way. But their service is still better than America's, it's cheaper and it's still working fine. You can't make excuses. The United States is a failure when it comes to healthcare, you have an ineffective and inefficient system. You failed.

@gnppr You're already making assumptions. Prove that a fetus is a baby. They literally have different names, they're biologically different things. prove to me that it's "murder" to expel a lump of cells with no brain or brain function. I'm waiting.

@johanocampo5422 Etymologically. Pedophile also means "lover of children", what's your point?

@marcusmagice How about changing the laws to make them legal? You conservatives have such split logic. You can accept that, because guns will always be present, we shouldn't ban them and try to make the most positive use out of them (deterrence, safety, and training); but you can't accept that illegal immigrants will always find a way to get in (because the U.S. invites them in- most illegals are just legal workers who overstayed their work visa), so you should make the best of that situation, too.

@garetclaborn How so? (I think I know what you're going to say, so before you reply: Russia (who obviously funds its own military and has a much smaller and weaker economy); Norway (not part of the American security umbrella); the UK (funds its Royal Navy); and most other countries on Earth have some form of universal healthcare. They don't need American protection to stay afloat. It's simply cheaper and more effective to have a single-payer. That way, insurance companies and medical supply companies can't charge 500% the cost of things because the CEO's wife wants a fancy new yacht. You have a weak system in the U.S., everyone doing sloppy work and unquestioning the man above him. Pitiful.

@garetclaborn While that makes sense in principle, it's futile. Unless you wanna die like a Confederate solider, I suggest investing more time into fixing your democracy via your government's "weak points"- elected officials relying on popularity to keep their job. Or you know, the whole idea of a democracy. If you want to fight off the members of the armed forces who side with "the gubmit", and shoot at an Abram or sink a Nimitz class supercarrier, be my guest. I'm not that hot-headed. Or dumb. As for crime, you're seeing it as this choice made by an one-dimensional, evil person. Ever wonder why people rob banks? If they're not dumb teenagers looking for fun (because there's nothing to do in their little hicktown) it's because someone needs to eat, and is getting desperate. Take that argument back to school shooters. Conservatives are happy to trace it back to a cause and absolve the boy(s) of their atrocious act, but balk when confronted with, for instance, the roots of black-on-black crime. It's hypocritical to its very core. Sorry about the text block; I type a lot.

@terriesmith8219 I'd rather you send me the proof, since you're making the claims. What's the budget of the NHS for the next coming year? Is it dwindling to zero? No? Then it's not going broke. That's not even mentioning the fact that you're just someone on the Internet. Why should I believe what you said? What hospital do you work at? Is there a directory you can link me to, so I can see all of these foreign-born employees? Or is it one of those "trust me bro, I wouldn't lie I'm not a liberal" type deals?

@johanocampo5422 No, you proved that the word "fetus" comes from the Latin for "little child". Does that make the equivalence true? Is a lead pencil still made of lead because that's what we call it? Remember I also said "biologically different" and "expelling a lump of cells". Both of which are true and observable with your own two eyes. I don't think you understand the premise here. Definitions are subjective descriptions of things made by people. They don't meaningfully describe the object that they refer to. For example, in Polish "car" is "samochód", which means "walks on its own". The word is talking about a car— but the content of the word doesn't faithfully describe the car: cars don't walk, and they don't do anything by themselves. Now again, why is a fetus a baby? What (properties) do you define as a baby, and why is a fetus also that?

@garetclaborn Okay, then instead of counting on every person in a gun-free zone to have a gun (?) to stop a shooter, how about we subject then to a background test, or in the case of Nikolas Cruz, the FBI not sit on their ass after a recommendation that Cruz be aprehended. If you addressed the causes behind shootings, you wouldn't need a civilian shootout every time someone feels like they need to express their emotions with a pistol— because they wouldn't be distressed in the first place. Your reliance on a quick, short term solution every time is harmful in the long run. There are better ways to address gun violence, and more guns will only increase it. If you really think that gun violence happens for a reason, then the shooter will simply look for a place without a deterrent, and shoot there. If you think the shooter is irrational, then what does a high number of guns actually do? People will still die in between the first few shots and a citizen brandishing his. Also, the Vietnam war (regarding Vietnamese call to arms) was against a foreign power. Ironic that your argument is your government is so tyrannical that other nations need to follow your ideology.

@slaughtergang518 More will pop up. We need to infiltrate their ranks now. While their power isn't unsurmountable.
