I know more than any of you about a narrow slice of health care. RT knows more than any of us about a wider slice of HC. You don't know anything at all about HC, except what you've read, and what you read is slanted by the author's bias.

like how your sense of sexual norms is almost entirely informed by porn. I bet you pulled out and tried to shoot in that chick's face, didn't you? like you thought it would be expected?

medicaid is one thing medicare is another. one for old one for poor. what possible difference does it make?

I don't follow health care policy closely. I find it complicated, frustrating and often tedious.

But being a sentient being who is somewhat attuned with the news in general, I've come across the scare stories about how doctors are poised to face a big pay cut because Congress hasn't yet attacked to kick them down the road yet (which to now have always been followed by Congress acting).

In other words, I was a little surprised that your story could have contained anything that was genuinely new to you.

why did you have to style your post as a personal attack on me, if the above is what you wanted to say?

You thought the second was less of a personal attack than the first? Keep in mind that it was possible that your post was meant as satire.

tea partiers think they are sentient beings, but they're are idiots- same with you. And I accept that, and, as long as you qualify your opinions by saying that given your dull normal IQ view of the world you would have thought I would watch more TV, then I can't take it personally, so the second post wasn't insulting.

Can't you understand any of this? should i be bothered by you, or just sad for you? I'm sad for you, either way, of course.

And I am the one who makes all the personal attacks?

ETA: By the way, to the extent that you meant to imply that scare stories about cuts in medicare reimbursements to doctors only appear on tv, well, that isn't right either. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Sebby or some one has brought them here before.

The first post left open the possibility that I was missing some meta point you were trying to make, but it's up to you what you view as an insult.

do you get the difference between constructive criticism and hate attacks? I think people are really getting tired of your behavior here.

What you don't want to hear when you're approaching a TSA security line with your teenaged daughter: "heads up, got a cutie for you."

eta: More like this, please.

What I find more concerning is the type of late night spank material you're utilizing.

You know they have pictures online.
