ummmm. Didn't actually get insulted. A jaded middle-aged guy tried to insult me and failed. I have most likely been through more hardship in 18 years than you have in your whole life. I have dealt with issues that you could only dream about from chronic illnesses to surgery to depression to weight issues to social issues to the death of close family members. Imagine dealing with all of this during perhaps the most awkward years of your life while juggling school, friends and being on a myriad of different drugs including the devil drug itself, Prednisone and an extremely harsh anti-rejection drug Cyclosporine which had doctors so worried about the effects on my body that I had to have blood tests done every couple days before school. I have dealt with all of this. I started when I was about ten years old and have only recently been able to come out from under the cage that all these issues had me in and am stronger for it. Not only for surviving things that almost killed me but for doing it all and maintaining friendships, part-time jobs, honour role marks in school even though i would miss months at a time. I am now graduated, completely healed thanks to a risky surgery, off all my medication, 70 pounds lighter and half a foot taller and happy.
I actually feel sorry for you MPD. You are a jaded person. I have seen the goodness in people. I've seen a friend drive six hours to come see me in the hospital while i lay in a bed with IVs coming out of me. I've seen my family get stronger instead of destroyed because of my illness. I've seen my family unbankrupted after years of medical treatment, sugery and medical costs as well as traveling, accomidation and the high costs of medicine.
I am concerned with politicians being bought, especially buy your government. I feel that without integrity politicians are useless. A politican who can be bought won't be looking out for what's best for the people. People need to see that it doesn't need to be dog eat dog. It isn't. People helped me and my family through difficult times, and we've done likewise. Had we been living in the states, my family would have been bankrupt perhaps my parents would have been divorced. I see the value of a socialized world in which people help eachother and see that it is possible. I know from experience what just a socialized healthcare system can do for a family. Imagine what the world would be like if there were less people like you and more people like the ones i surround myself with.
But this will do nothing to change your mind. A jaded old man like yourself sees only the next way to try and screw someone over. Just keep one thing in mind. If that's the way you live your life, that's also the way you'll end it. You die by what you live by. I choose to help others and in turn others help me.
