Joke number 7: USA : electric american dream!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMAEVgRWq6s
see the first 3 mn. Unfortunately for the driver, it wasn't not a joke. Taser is not only used in US but in Europe too. Democracy in the West has reached the electric level!
Great America! a cop tasers a man because he refused to sign a speeding ticket. Coming soon... return of the whip!

Joke number 8: stupid thankgsiving
What is thanksgiving? It's a celebration of the american people. But for what?
| Quote: | | In fact, the feast was planned to thank the Indians for teaching them how to cook those foods. Without the Indians, the first settlers would not have survived. |
And to thank the indians, we all know, the white settlers have decimated them.
http://stockholm.usembassy.gov/Holidays/celebrate/thanksgi.html
Ok, thanksgiving celebrates the day the indians teached the white settlers how to survive. So, in return , the indians should thank the whites for having decimated them and celebrate a day. They should celebrate...
... "thankskilling"

It is funny to read something from the past. As always complete lack of understanding who are Russians and what is their military forces. Such orators are perfect examples of U.S. propaghanda. |

Joke number 9: USA, the country of freedom
Did you see, the movie "Sicko" directed by Michael Moore? It is about healthcare in United States. In the US even if you have a healthcare insurance, your insurer could refuse you a medical treatment.
Click the link below and watch the video to have an idea.

I advise you to watch the whole film. You'll see that, in some countries, they treat the animals better than humans in USA. American citizens live in their country like wild beasts in the nature.
USA is the country of the absolute freedom. Americans are free... like beasts! |

I think that it is common trait of all insurance companies. They are very polite and friendly when you bring your money. But if some shit happens amount of their willingness to cooperate will be inversely proportional to amount of money they have to pay. |

In many respects, yes. And, Rimski's country? The country of?

Actually, in USA, and the West, we often treat pets better than numerous non-Western goverments treat their citizens. Sad, but true. No joking matter. |

 It doesn't mean anything. I believe my dog is treated better than most of Americans.

No. You treat pets better than your human neighbours... poor human beasts.
Let's have a look to the next video. see the begining just before Michael Moore starts to answer the stupid questions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_QoffvYQpw
Ok. Moore"s movie (Sicko) is full of horrible strories. people die because their insurers refuses to pay their treatments. The story is told in a "funny" way but, Michael Moore is very serious. He's not joking.
The presenter (Bill Maher) starts talking about the movie using the words "amazing"??? three times, and "it is your best, it's funny"??? instead of saying "it's horrible" or "I can't believe this is happening in the richest country of the world".
Incredible! This is the reaction of a selfish individual. a "very good" product of the wild capitalism. Look at the face of the presenter. This is the real face of America...
... the hideous face of capitalism.

She eat about one kilo of fresh raw meat a day (not this shitty pedigree). When she was sick insurance company insisted that two doctors came to check her health, take blood samples, etc...
So... if we apply same logic as here...

Ok, here's a pretty sad joke an American told me.
A male with a sad face walks into a lingerie store.
The salesman asks him what he's looking for.
"A bra, for my girlfriend".
"What bust?".
"The frickin' condom!!!". |

OK, I admit it, your dog does eat more meat than the average Westerner does each day.

How do you define worse? I never mentioned Russia. However, since you did, the Russian medical system maybe, ostensibly, "free", but it doesn't mean its not in some crisis (see "selectively chosen " weblink below). I do hope the medical system continues to improve though.

I did visit a friend's father in a provincial Russian hospital. The facililties seemed fairly basic, but there were no obvious problems......Just hope the standard of living, health, and lifespan of average Russians continues to improve/increase. |

The whole point was that we can't compare medical systems of countries using level of service of pets. The Russia was used simply because I don't know other medical systems, but any country with low level of living can be used in abovementioned example of logic. I hope I explained it.

I hope too. This summer I drank with medics on the lakeshore (barbeque, vodka, beer, etc you know). They said it is improving. Slowly, but it is improving. I think it is about whole level of life. If people are able to pay they will be serviced better. |
