Hang in there Harry. I have sympathy for what you are going through. God, I
simply hate insurance companies. The chief honcho of these outfits is always
a bastard.

There is something quite crooked about our capitalist system of economy.
Unless you have money and influence, you are more often screwed than not. No
wonder we have so many lawyers. Just keep plugging away and hope for the
best. The law grinds exceeding fine when all is said and done and you may
yet receive some justice.

Nope. In fact, I am in favor of legalizing MJ. It is no worse than alcohol
or tobacco. But I stop at MJ. Other drugs are way too dangerous to the
health of society.

And the only protection the non-rich have is a government that supports
their interests, which is why the right-wing in the US has worked (and
mostly succeeded) in destroying that in the US.

And since there will always be a hell of a lot more non rich than rich,
the non rich clearly are those who determine who gets to be the govt.

Pigs arse they have.

Thats just plain wrong. Virtually all illegal drug users who are on welfare resort
to crime, because no one pays enough welfare to support an illegal drug habit.

Depends on the country. Some are so parsimonious with
welfare that its nothing like most that go for the welfare.

Plenty of those who are good at it get more out of begging than they do out of welfare too.

Another pig ignorant lie. It does a hell of a lot better than

You have always been, and always will be, completely and utterly irrelevant.

What might or might not be OK with you in spades.

> No one ever gets rich off of welfare. It is just subsistence.

Not here it aint if you have enough kids.

It isnt even just subsistence for many on the aged pension here either.

One pair I know have a very decent very large house, and TWO
'mobile homes' and a total of 5 computers between the two of them,
including two almost new laptops, and spent half the year in a
mobile home park getting pissed playing cards until his diabetes
put a stop to that. Thats nothing even remotely like subsistence.

And they arent alone either, most of the people I know are on
the aged pension and most of them zoom around the country
like that, and have as many computers as that. Its uncommon to
have two mobile homes tho, all the others just have one and they
all have very decent modern houses in addition to the mobile home.

> You and I would not like it at all.

You havent got a fucking clue what I would like.

I wouldnt mind it at all if for some reason I lost my very
substantial savings and had to live on just the aged pension.

That last is a pig ignorant lie. We had civil peace before we paid any welfare at all.

We havent ever had a civil war, or entire city blocks put to the torch, EVER.

Yes they do.

> They just get by.

Another pig ignorant lie. You dont have a fucking clue
about the circumstances of those on welfare here.

I've just installed broadband and voip for some
turks who get welfare and they live very well
indeed. 5 cars, they are planning to have 10 of them
back to Turkey for 3 months in about a month.

ALL the older kids have laptops still in warranty.

The only one that doesnt is the most recent 2 year old.

Thats a hell of a lot better than just getting by.

> You and I would not be happy with
> such a reduced standard of living at all.

You have absolutely no idea what I would be happy with.

I dont spend anything like what the turks do on overseas travel.

>>> A small price to pay for civil peace.

>> We didnt see civil chaos before we had welfare in the first world.

> It was always a constant threat.

Only for pig ignorant fools. We have never ever had a civil
war or any entire city blocks put to the torch in this country
and havent even had any riots either, not even in the days
before we paid any welfare at all to anyone.

The most we have ever seen is one minor shit fight
when some miners didnt like the outrageous mining
taxes imposed on them during the gold rush.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have

The most that might happen is that they pull the plug on
the Euro and return to separate national currencys again.

Quite a few EU members havent chose to give up on their own currencys.

Its only communism thats ever failed.

Nope, fuck all of those in favor of socialism in western europe have
any interest whatever in communism and they have elected fuck all
communists and not one of them has ever had a communist govt.

Quite a few of them did own some of the means of production.

Hardly any of them do anymore.

Hardly any of them even own the phone company anymore.

Another pig ignorant lie. Quite a few of the most socialist
countrys in western europe have actually seen less socialism
in recent times than they have had in the past, most obviously
with govt owned phone companys, car plants, coal mining etc etc etc.

> Hey, if you hate capitalism,

Pity I dont. It works very well indeed, particularly when the worst
excesses are illegal and there is a decent level of socialism with
public education, the cops, a decent health care funding system,
decent welfare for those who can not work or who cant find
work, or who are too old to work etc etc etc.

Every modern country is a mix of socialism and capitalism,

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof of what a terminal fuckwit you have always been.

Just check the map, stupid. There happens to be a

europe, and not one between mexico and the US, child.

RS has shit for brains and the knack of never saying anything the least bit
sensible. All he knows how to do is to call everyone a liar, ever the last
refuge of a coward and a scoundrel who is afraid of argument.

Is Roddie more on TM's side than ED's side?

Why did Roddie need take a side in a Usenet battle between TM and ED?
I somewhat regret now having posted in favor of 1 and not the other
of these 2 that hyave gained themselves some unpopularity...

In light of the maybe-15-plus-year-old apparently-largely-still-
current FAQ on the infamous R.S., I could actually decrease my
disfavor to E.D. That is because R.S. has (as I experience this) a
great history of apparently liking to irritate people, especially ones
who work for a living.

Yes I am still out here in Norfolk. Had a slight mishap at work and
ended up with back surgery a year ago. I am still fighting with the
compensation company for a decent settlement. So far I have won the
case in Workers Compensation court. But they don't want to fork over
any decent cash. So, for now, they have to pay ALL my medical and my
weekly paycheck. Time will tell.

As for TM....idiots such as these come and go. As we well know.

I am simply sick and tired of seeing the same blathering posts from
such a nonsensical person. If there was ANY sense to the posts then,
perhaps, responses would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Indeed, FDR pushed the New Deal to keep the US from a communist
revolution. Of course, the rich begrudge even those few crumbs, and
have spent the last 30 years in power taking them away. The US will
either have a revolution (peaceful or violent) or become a third world
country, if it continues on its present course.

Hells Bells, if this god damn ignorant asshole does not want to tell us
where he is from, I will just assume he is English. He spells certain words
like the English do. Of course he could be from down under. In any event, we
already know all we will ever have to know about him. He is a name caller
and nothing else. I will deal with him in my own inimitable way. He will not
get a pass on these groups until he ceases his name calling.

In the meantime I suggest you take your Rod and give it a good fucking. And
slow down. Speed fucks are no good. You want to go slow.

I have no insurance at all for anything - period! Why? Because they are all
crooks. You literally have to sue to get anything out of them.

I tried to get rid of him, but he is even too great a simpleton for me. He
does not respond in any logical way to anything that is said. He is truly a
village idiot. If the newsgroup were larger, it wouldn't matter, but a
single idiot can take down a small newsgroup. I will only respond to others
who are responding to him, as is now the case with this Rod Speed character.

But your way is the best way. I am only hanging around until Mike Vandeman
gets back. Then I am gone for good.

It's been a long road for this one. I didn't get a check for amost
two months. Put me behind in everything and we ended up being forced
to move as we were upside down in all bills. Just now getting caught
up.

Now my shoulder is acting up and, again, they are trying to screw me
over. But, the advantage I have is twofold. One is the FACT that
they have lost in the compensation court and, Two, I have a decent
lawyer that's taking care of it. Still have to wait for the cash flow
to start again though and THAT sucks.

Overall, things haven't been all that bad. But I would rather be
working than sitting around trying to figure out things to do. Thank
goodness for the computer!!!!

If you travel at all I would NOT suggest a stay at any of the Sheraton
hotels that are operated by Pyramid Advisors. They are the folks that
are giving me the shaft.

And NO, I do NOT have a problem telling people that as it's MY OPINION
and they can't say jack shit about that.

Do you think sick people should be arrested for using medical

Hang in there Harry. I have sympathy for what you are going through. God, I
simply hate insurance companies. The chief honcho of these outfits is always
a bastard.

There is something quite crooked about our capitalist system of economy.
Unless you have money and influence, you are more often screwed than not. No
wonder we have so many lawyers. Just keep plugging away and hope for the
best. The law grinds exceeding fine when all is said and done and you may
yet receive some justice.

From: "His Highness the TibetanMonkey, originator of the Stop the Bullshit
Campaign"


"According to Swiss author Siro Spörli, the automobile is as dangerous
as a drug. Humans experience a rush of power and lust flowing through
them every time they drive, every time they are in control of a large
technical machine like a car. The car thus takes on a different
meaning, no longer just a means of travel, but a surrogate
satisfaction. Humans try to find a fulfilled moment in their
stressful, unsatisfying lives, and at the same time become even more a
victim to a speed rush."

http://www.electriccyclery.com/catalog/the-suv-as-drug-a-6.html

In other words, driving makes you an animal. Hey, I'm not denying my
animalism, just that it makes you a DANGEROUS ANIMAL when you are
behind the wheel and deny me space. Another way to look at it is that
it makes you a big animal and me a small animal, or simply it makes
you the PREDATOR and me the PREY.

Wait, don't stop reading yet in denial. It also makes you prey if you
drive a SMART car or similar vehicle.

I just had it and prefer to ride my monkey bike or my new "Revolutions
for the Planet" bike,* which makes me feel like a happy Homo Sapiens
Sapiens. Yes, I have finally evolved, how 'bout you?

*Sun bicycles

This how to pacify yourself...

'Examples of the positive approach might be the annual Car-Free Day in
France (see World News section) or the Bike-to-Work Weeks organised in
some American cities. It doesn't work to simply offer people transport
"alternatives" or "options"; effective campaigns take people by the
hand and actively encourage them to break the car habit.

If insights like that continue, will the first "Autoholics Anonymous"
groups start sprouting up? Will there be psychiatrists and social
workers specializing on curing car addicts? Will we have state-
sponsored detoxification programs with electric cars as methadone and
people publicly declaring to be car-free, destroying their formerly
beloved vehicles?'

Actually I have and I don't much like it. But I understand where it comes
from. It is a short cut to a response. It is better not to respond at all

God damn fucking Gore could not even carry his home state. I believe Bush
did carry his home state.

The fact is that the country is evenly split between liberals and
conservatives. As far as I am concerned, it is a duel to the death.

A lot of the young people here in the USA seem to like Burger King better
than MacDonalds. I find all these burgers to be on the expensive side and I
only resort to them about once or twice a year.

Thats just plain wrong. The most pathetic wretches, the 'homeless'
drunks and drug addicts, find it a lot easier to engage in petty crime
and begging than to bother with the endless rigmarole that the welfare
system involves, particularly one like ours which has some very
stringent stuff on proof of identity thats designed to stop people
claiming more than one benefit in different names etc.

That involves a birth certificate, passport etc which the most pathetic
wretches dont even have at all.

It does here. Because our system stupidly pays a hell of a lot of money
per kid and those qualify for the full payment. The payments only cut out
at very substantial incomes. Terminally stupid middle class welfare.

Yes.

Yes, I agree with you on the above. But even so, it is an insignificant
minority who resort to crime. MOST will go for the welfare - you god damn
ignorant fool!

Yes, it just barely does. That is OK with me. No one ever gets rich off of
welfare. It is just subsistence. You and I would not like it at all.

But that is the import of what you think of the situation. Either support
those who cannot support themselves or else kill them. I think we both agree
that it is better to just give them a little something to live on. It is the
price we pay for civil peace.

No they don't. They just get by. You and I would not be happy with such a
reduced standard of living at all.

It was always a constant threat. What is given to the poor is insurance for
the rich. You need to study the history of revolutions.

I have to laugh! Germany is being stuck with the bankruptcy of various
Mediterranean countries. I think the Euro is doomed as is the European
Union. In short, fuck Europe - and fuck you too by the way - you god damn
ignorant fool!

Not a bad point I must admit. But that is because even socialisms all fail
before they can progress to communism. Nonetheless, that is the ideological
bent of leftists the world over.

For heavens sakes, read the history of Russian liberalism under the Czars.
That was exactly the progression - you god damn ignorant fool!

No, the governments do not yet own the means of production. They are welfare
states, but the tendency is toward ever more and more socialism. Hey, if you
hate capitalism, you are already a socialist.

Health care expansion via a government take over, probably not far off. I am

you god damn ignorant fool!

The problem I have with Rod Speed is the same problem I have with all those
who simply resort to calling others with whom they disagree with liars.
Either engage others on their level or forget about it. It is no good simply
calling others liars. What it does is bring out the devil in me.

For instance TM is such an idiot that it is difficult to engage him, but if
I were to do it, I would at least accord him the respect that I would want
for myself. Rod Speed fails in this most fundamental of all courtesies. It
is why I call him out for the god damn fool that he is.

These newsgroups require that we treat others as we would want to be
treated. What is so difficult about that? I no longer engage TM because his
posts send me into orbit with his idiocy. But I will engage a poster like
Rod Speed who is NOT an idiot, yet he provokes with his every utterance.

You provoke me at your peril. Rod Speed will learn this the hard way. You
can say anything you want on these forums, but calling other liars with your
every other sentence is NOT acceptable. I will crucify all those who resort
to this most imbecilic of all tactics. Even TM, as much as I despise him for
the simpleton that he is, is a human being deserving of respect. I hate
bullies and that is what Rod Speed is.

Nope, its very difficult for it to be very cost effective.

Even just hyperinsulation is generally much more cost effective
basically because its now so cheap to hyperinsulate.

Yes, and thats why I did it myself, but it was much more
expensive than just the conventional wall there instead
and I dont even have double glazing, just single.

Yes, but the original didnt say that.

Nope, less in fact because its only single glazing.

Thats wrong too. I have almost as many on the south side.
They are for the summer because I prefer an outside inside effect
in summer. There are no conventional windows at all except in the
bathrooms and toilets and above the kitchen sinks. The kitchens
are both on one side of massive big open plan main rooms.

> So they are additional cost to capture the sun.

So your no additional cost is just plain wrong.

Mine are 10x8 The biggest main room has 5 of those, 3 on the north side.

Yeah, nothing like it.

Yeah, I do too. I bask in the sun quite literally on sunny winter days.

I dont bother with central heat anymore, use what we call a heated
throw, basically an electric blanket used on the deep armchair.

All that glass was nothing like no cost tho, it actually cost more than the rest of the walls.
And its only single glazing. Our winters arent all that cold, we do occassional get a day
that doesnt get above 0C all day but they are rare, only a couple a year at most.

Gets pretty cold overnight tho.

A few months back I wrote about a problem I had with Tracfone. TF added
time to my account in error then demanded I pay for it. I refused and I
lost all the service for which I paid and they would not return my money.

Turned out to be a blessing. Credit card company agreed that TF was in the
wrong and returned my money. Then someone on this group suggested I look
at T-mobile prepaid.

Bought T-mobiles $119 Comet android phone and it works fine and the phone
service is much cheaper then tracfone after the 1st year.
