I don't watch TV so stupid TV commercials don't bother me.

You're still paying for their stupidity whether you "enjoy" it or not.

So I should pay higher premiums so that your intelligence doesn't get insulted when you watch TV; is that what you're suggesting? What about all those stupid drug ads that big Pharma runs we're all paying for those too, if we use their products. It's marketing which is used to create, keep and satisfy the customers in our capitalist economy. You don't have a problem with that do you?

No need to apologize. You can speak for me any time. You'll prolly be better at it than I.

Thet's doubtful awareness, but maybe you can help zeek get some better insurance, and perhaps some generic meds.

So you hate capitalism zeek? Show me one successful Socialist country in history. In capitalist economies we will always have poor people, but in socialist economies everybody is poor. Think about what happened to Venezuela.

We are not a purely capitalist society. The fire dept does not work as a function of capitalism (we tried that). Likewise with the police dept and school system.

"Obama Care" and "Medicare" are clearly socialist policies.

Social Security is clearly a socialist policy.

We also have some communist laws, we believe beaches should be "common", likewise with some parks, air, water, etc.

By "christian values" are you referring to where he says he did things as a teenager he is now ashamed of and has since repented of?

How many times do we need to see some Leftist activist "professor" show up at the last minute with accusations against a SCOTUS appointment before we suspect that something is seriously amiss?

You were the one that was complaining about TV advertising. All I did was point out that that's part of so called free enterprise capitalism. To jump from that to accuse me of hating capitalism is irrrational.

I thought you were denigrating our evil capitalistic economy. My bad.

I did say that having conversations with you is a challenging endeavor.
