Gov't Shutdown (HBB wru?)

[aowen]

I wouldn't call a source on healthcare a youtube video prefaced with "I apologize about all the noise from the crows" with an expat espousing his opinions.

Oh, i forgot philosophers and historians can't have dissenting ideas and are all infallible. I guess that makes anything I post by Noam Chomsky 100% accurate.

Plus, I was merely basically stating podcasts and youtube should not be the primary source of information.

Socialist policies are not always bad. I don't know why it's such a dirty word. I also never said I was socialist, so I wouldn't be telling anyone about how it's so 'gee golly great'

I never said he was infallible. Putting words in my mouth already, aowen. I was just outlining his credentials since you were so easy to dismiss him because he filmed a video outside.

I'd agree with you wholeheartedly that podcasts and YouTube videos shouldn't be if sources aren't cited but the majority of his videos include the sources of information he gathers.

if you were more educated on the subject, you might find a strong connection between this

and this

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/09/bu...ngs/index.html

but you've proven that you're willing to interject your opinion in posts and attempt to pass them off as fact, so i'm glad to have proven you wrong. again.

Whaaaaa-!? U.S. is number 17 (private healthcare) on that list and the UK is 22 (public healthcare.) Nice correlation there. Oh my god, how dumb are you?

Except for that all the countries before us also have public healthcare, not just the UK. Also, I'd reckon that happiness is based off more than just healthcare.

That being said, repealing it will just bring us further away from where we should be, at universal healthcare. And if we're just going to toss around random youtube videos and call them credible information, I have one:

I don't hate Noam, I have much respect for Noam. But just because he's a professor at MIT doesn't mean that he's automatically correct about everything he says, though I tend to agree with much of what he says.
