Last time I ordered something off of Amazon the delivery driver did not even attempt to deliver. On the 3rd day amazon sent me a notice saying "if we miss you again we are sending your order back" (This was a mission critical device that only sold on amazon at the time)
I watched the amazon delivery truck drive right past my fucking house without even fucking attempting to stop. I ran barefoot in the rain a block behind the van and asked them to deliver my fucking package.
They gave it to me, but I'm still fucking pissed about it.

I've took this as you don't understand why people like me (foreigners) are always talking about the healthcare, because I dont understand what you're trying to say afterwards.
Propaganda about socialized healthcare being bad, pushed by American Republicans. The rest of what you then go on to say is null and void due to this misunderstanding. You took something that was meant to be supportive of you and made it combative.
It really is not my fault you decided to start attacking me instead of simply asking me to clarify. It also isn't my fault that when I clarified in the two following responses what I was saying, that you further misinterpreted what I said.
I never misunderstood your point, from the start I knew that you were pro social healthcare. I was and have been agreeing this whole time. I've been trying to say that to you this whole time. I AM AGREEING WITH YOU.
Based on the upvote/downvote ratio people very clearly seemed to have understood my first response to you, and been confused by your response to me. I dont know what else you want me to say here.
Unsurprising. Its been said that if Libraries werent such an accepted norm that they would be seen as socialist/communist propaganda today. I dont think that it would be far off from the truth. I'm thankful we have libraries.
Okay so I'm assuming you're ESL here because you've completely misinterpreted my original response. I was pointing out that the US also funds institutions in addition to PBS such as schools and libraries, yet our republican population gets up and arms about healthcare. It was adding your your argument. It was agreeing with your sentiment. A complimentary piece of information to back your argument.
The part I'm not understanding is why you seemed to be attacking me for agreeing with you.
If I had to choose between PBS and national healthcare, I would prefer to have national healthcare. However, this argument only works in a black and white world, a binary world, or an extremists only world. We do not live in that. You can have both. Your argument at that point is a what-about-ism that you really did not have to bring up.
I never said PBS is "as important as healthcare" and my statement about why people are "stuck on healthcare" was saying "I do not understand why U.S. Americans (specifically, Republicans) are so quick to dismiss national healthcare as an option when we have other public services in the U.S that function without a problem."
Also, I'm not sure what your tirade at the end of "pay for a TV channel for a foreigner" is all about. PBS's primary focus and audience is on the US. Other countries can consume the content sure, but any American could watch say, the BBC. Just because an American watches the BBC does not mean that American is somehow siphoning money off of the UK.
So again, I have no idea why you're attacking me when I am literally agreeing with your statement.
Im not sure what youre saying here. I think that healthcare should be government funded, and at the same time I dont believe PBS (The Public Broadcasting Service TV channel, government funded and nonprofit, not private) should be defunded. They've created countless television series that have aided education and acceptance of other cultures.
I think that instead of taking from the US public infrastructure (Like PBS or Schools) to fund healthcare, we should be taxing corporations and billionaires more. Thats what most of the american left (the actual left not the practical right wing democrats) believe.
I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but it reads as if you believe there are Americans who are anti-socialized healthcare, but also pro-PBS. I have never seen that opinion held by any american.
I use Linux and a custom ROM on my phone, I'd still like to promote this article to friends and family who dont. You dont have to be a dick on the internet, you can be friendly. Could've said "I find it odd that this is being up voted, can someone tell me why?" but you chose to be a dick. You get from the world what you put into it.
we also fund public libraries and schools. Im not sure why healthcare is what gets people. (i am it's the constant propaganda and people want to defund libraries and schools)
