Come to Southie.

Dude, pleeeeease. Convicts vs pilgrims. Go hire "Chopper" and then come tell me which Irish are the tough guys.

Funniest thing I have read all year. The 'tough' part of Boston.

Not scared at all. As I have said, I'm not stupid.

So, because you hide your ID your not stupid. They're going to get you man.

I'm not worried about anyone getting me. Why would I let complete strangers know details about my personal life? Maybe you can answer that since your life is an open online book.

Since you never heard of it, tell me all about it. You ARE an expert on so many matters which you know nothing about. You said nobody from Boston is tough and you could punch them out. I beg to differ. Give Chinatown a shot with your tough guy attitude while you're there.

Come to think of it, I thought you have the best areas in the US and that I was lying about the ghettos.

Watch the value of the dollar for the next two years and then get back to me. If the spending doesnt stop NOW, were all gonna be in soup lines.

I get what you are saying but not acknowledging the trillions already wasted in health care is wrong. You realize even when it comes to the military, private contractors and companies are ripping off the government. I know for a fact as I spoke with a auditor that told me about an example of a company charging $30K for a valve. For a freagin value. A valve that costs them $50 before they were forced to switch to private suppliers. Don't you think the same thing is happening in health care? Why any treatment costs 100 times here than the same treatment in Canada or Australia.

Australia has NHS and their dollar is nearly the same as the US. Unemployment is at 5.8%. Average salary is still going strong at $50k. House prices are still strong.

This is America and the internet

wow, no sh-t hey.

Someone told you a valve cost 30K, now you're an expert. You are a hoot.

I don't really agree with much that haza says but I agree with him here. I am not an expert but personally I know that my daughter's medications are cheaper in most countries than they are here. One of her medications is $85 and costs between $5-10 in Canada or the UK. Her inhaler is $300 a piece and can be bought at UK pharmacies for 40 pounds (about $65 US). Definitely wasted healthcare dollars. Also, on a recent routine visit to her Pediatric Pulminologist, I was charged $426 just to walk into the Childrens Hospital where the clinic is (on top of $174 for the doctor and $89 for the breathing test). This was not an Urgentcare or er clinic, just a regular outpatient clinic. Yes that is right $689 for a total of 15 minutes. Don't tell me that is not wasteful. When I called about the $426 portion I was told that was just for walking into the building. See they have to subsidize those that use the hospital without insurance. The worst part is when I checked with my insurance to see if there were any other doctors in a 100 mile radius the answer was no. Also the Pulminologists that I called all said they don't treat kids and she would have to use the Childrens Hospital.

By the way I do have insurance but with the deductible and co-insurance, I have to pay the $689. The insurance system is broken in this country and needs reform now.

The point was the information was based on hearsay. So if I said the valve cost $3, would that be credible too? I was merely pointing out that one was tallking out of his sphincter once again.

Maybe if you thought before you spoke you wouldn't come across quite as ignorant?

At least we agree on something.

The point was the information was based on hearsay. So if I said the valve cost $3, would that be credible too? I was merely pointing out that one was tallking out of his sphincter once again.

So you can prove me wrong then? Or is this guy, who is a auditor for the federal government, lying? Let me see. Take the word of a friend or listen to Mr better hide my details because the 'guvamints' going to get me.

Anyway, enough fun. Time for ignore list and bed. Some of us have to work..

My identity shows when I am here, you surf here anonomously. Who are you hiding from? And why should I believe anything you say? Your anti-America drivel is well documented here. All of your arguments are based on hearsay. Actually you don't have any arguments, just baseless postings. I'm not trying to make you look bad. You don't need any help.
