Question for you, Rick Santorum.

[FluffyMcDeath]

What's the practical difference between a drug that doesn't exist and a drug you can't possibly afford?
Not a damn thing.

Even at Rick's current $1.3 million a year, a million a year drug bill would pinch.

 

[cecilia]

yup

“People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad,” Santorum said, “but paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with

what he doesn't seem to get is that if you are sick/poor you AREN'T buying a 900 buck iPad.


do drugs cost lots of money to develop?
of course

did the Apollo missions cost time and money to get us to the the Moon?
you bet

that's why you set up a system to pay scientists, engineers, etc to live while they develop the technology to get the job done. Then you use that resulting technology to create new products for society which continues to help people and bolster the economy.
it's a win win

this asshole doesn't realize that making people well is actually a Good thing for everyone.

I think there's clearly a bigger problem when anybody can feel justified in comparing paying for a luxury piece of consumer hardware to paying for life-saving medical care. You aren't going to die or have significantly reduced quality of life for the lack of an iPad, no matter what your financial status.

 

[Speelgoedmannetje]

You all know how I think about this, how pissed these 'people' make me, I won't react, I won't become angry, I will just ignore this, and move along.

Basterd should be consumed by Papua cannibals with his consumerism.

 

[the_leander]

I see what you did there

yeah, that's good....OR I could inject him with a cancer that would eat away at his insides for years and years.....let him see what it's really like to be sick with no solution.

cocksucking piece of shit

 

[Fade]

And what would that make you, when you did that?

Besides, what would your momma, and Thomas Jefferson think?

 

[Speelgoedmannetje]

And what would that make you, when you did that?

A teacher?

 

[Fade]

No Speelgoedmannetje, in the US trying to murder someone does not make you a teacher!

It makes you the scum of the earth.

 

[Speelgoedmannetje]

No Speelgoedmannetje, in the US trying to murder someone does not make you a teacher!

It makes you the scum of the earth.

Then what's your idea to let someone understand what pain he causes to others?

id reckon that would matter on what feller was being removed from the herd... most would say... i myself think that as long as we got a way to keep them from the rest of us id rather we did that... and yes... i know there are some villainous humans among us that have no qualms redefining depravity...

 

[cecilia]

the real problem is that scum like santorum are incapable of learning anything and doesn't give two shits about anyone.
he thinks that his religion gives him the right to bully anyone
The Constitution be damned
Logic be damned
Respect for others be damned.

that's the kind of bastard he is. He's dangerous if we let him get away with it. That's why Free Speech is so important

 

[Fade]

Cecilia you need to go back and re-read that part of the Bill of Rights.
It gives the freedom of speech to all Americans, not to just the ones that you agree with.

Quote
"He's dangerous if we let him get away with it."
------------------------------

Now to me, that sounds like you would deny him the same freedom of speech that you are expressing right now.

How so?

You said "if we let him get away with it"
Implying that you would stop him, by not letting him get away with it,

and as you previously stated,
Quote
"I could inject him with a cancer that would eat away at his insides for years and years."
-----------------------------

Now let's replace Santorum’s name with Obama's.
Would you deny him those rights?
Would you condone injecting him with cancer if you didn't agree with him?

You have a very strange way of interpreting the Bill of Rights.
In fact, I don't think you have a clue what it stands for or means!
And your respect for others; you don't seem to have any at all.

As for Speelgoedmannetje's comment of
Quote
"Basterd should be consumed by Papua cannibals"
-----------------------------------

I see that you don't have a clue what it means either.
Don't expect your US Citizenship papers to arrive anytime soon.
And by the way, it's bastard, not basterd.

 

[Glaucus]

No Speelgoedmannetje, in the US trying to murder someone does not make you a teacher!

It makes you the scum of the earth.

Unless of course you convict him first in the court of self righteousness and then carry out the sanctioned death sentence as is required.
