My customers are the worst.  I'm hired for personal security.  ONLY for personal security.  Sometimes they think they're buying other services.

Suu, you should have told that jerk all kinds of bullshit.  Like polyester wasn't period, they only had nylon.

Well clearly I can't ask a question without getting the "horrible death" argument,

It is a perfectly good argument.

What with the roughly 45,000 preventable uninsured deaths per year, it kind of seems like the main argument.

According to the arguments of the local conservatives, 911 would have to happen 15 more times before it would be significant.

Yeah, but fuck consistency when it interferes with their notions of what's best for themselves. 

What makes me laugh is that half of them don't have health insurance, and argue against national health care.  That level of stupidity is frustrating.

Well that's because if it wasn't for the damn liberals taking their tax money, they'd be rich! And Dr. visits would only cost $5! (Meanwhile disregarding that they don't earn enough to pay taxes in the first place.)

I love listening to windbags go off on "MY TAX DOLLARS" when I know they don't pay any and are on food stamps (But that's not welfare, that's just them getting through a rough patch.)

Yes, Roger will rant about these folks for days, if you let him.  It's starting to rub off on me.  I wasn't paying attention to it before.  I'm not sure I want to thank him, if you get me.

I think libertarianism would be very nice.  Somewhere else.

Yeah, I debated long and hard about saying anything at all since I'm a Canuck... I can imagine what it sounds like.

I tried to separate my views from the argument I was presenting a page back or so, but maybe that just made it worse.  Let me say again, I think there are issues with universal healthcare, but I also think its the most realistic solution.  I don't want anyone dying a horrible painful death because they can't pay for it. 

I agree 100%... except I would make one modification:

I don't want anyone dying a horrible painful death because they can't pay for it, unless they choose to.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever read.

Note:  Maria doesn't believe in the internets, but she is a ranter of epic proportions.  I give you The Brag of the UberYetiEss:

HEY, STICKBOY!  I am the uberwoman!  My ovaries are full of ball bearings and my tampons are radioactive!  I shit concertina wire, my vibrator has a kickstart, and I go drinking with Themis and Columbia!  My boogers are made of stainless steel!  You better stand back, little man, because I'm a dead shot and a live wire, with ass-penetrating boots!  I use mascara on all 3 eyes, and I have no king but Elvis!  My legs are 3 miles long, and I can slam a revolving door!  I drink whiskey and puke kerosene!  I got busted by DHS and copped a feel!  YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU'LL ONLY DIE TIRED!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

Bump for teh Maria.     <--- Gonna DIE!

Oh, yeah.

Everyone gets exploited, and shit music is a fact of life.  It's the way of the world.  But I loved reading that.

My dad woke me up by threatening to kick me out of his place cos I was on the phone to Payne last night trying to explain how I feel about how he deals with my illness and how he seems to have come to his own conclusions on what has made me ill and even my mum has accused me of smoking pot again.

I am feeling so stuck here right now with no way to vent how I feel about the situation I'm in. I've only just got my old phone back and I have had no privacy to talk to anyone privately and when I do the deaf old fuck miraculously grows a pair of ears when I calmly voice my frustrations about how he deals with it.

I just want the voices to stop so I can have my life back.

Ah, hon. 

It might be a little while.

I'll pass your good wishes on to him.

Why do we put up with this stuff?

I don't think there's a person alive who hasn't fantasized about running amok at work. 

I have no actually fantasized about this. However I have made a list of people who are most likely to go postal. We have too many questionable characters here.

There's been a couple of clients I've wanted to dump in the river.

So I ain't got no depression, but what I do has is OCD, which usually manifests itself in mild ways but, rarely, escalates to a problematic point. Last time it was bedbugs, fear of. I just realized that my constant worrying about people, which is a fairly normal state of existence for me, has recently escalated into the "obsessive" category. I realized this when I realized that Hippie Boy hasn't texted me in EIGHT DAYS, which should be a godsend because I was going to break up with him and also it makes perfect sense after I rebuffed his advances on Valentine's Day, but the first thing I thought was "OH NO I BETTER TEXT HIM AND MAKE SURE HE'S NOT DEAD!"

People I have been obsessively worried about the deaths of in the last few days include but are not limited to:

My EFO (there was an incident involving her being out of the house and unaccounted for for about an hour)
Roger
My dad
Hippie boy
Sir Talksalot (I don't even like that guy, why???)
Mario

Last night, in particular, involved me sleepless and in tears because I was convinced that Mario is dying. Which, although I am not the only one of his friends to have had that thought, is still totally ridiculous no matter how I try to justify it.

Roger isn't going to die. 

Payne has gone home.

Why did you let him do that?
