Bro you were not just wrong but also you failed at the simple task of using google effectively for like 2 seconds. Even though you tried multiple times.

You don’t even pay attention to what you are reading when you take the time to actually do that.

Do better man. Like by a lot.

I admitted to both. But thank you for kindly rubbing it in my face afterwards. Classy

Classy?

ramtour, I don’t **** around in this space. This **** has real world consequences and there are people out there spewing disinformation - whether by accident, on purpose, or for lack of trying - and you did just that.

If it takes you more than a couple back and forths and then additional tries with Google and you still can’t come up with simple stuff, you gotta start worrying about something else and start trying a different way.

fwiw, Martin is offering you some solid advice.

In general, it's better to put in the effort to be well-informed and avoid coming across (with anyone and in any forum) like a posturing opinion-slinger. A key facet of that would be open mindedness and a willingness to embrace information outside the boundaries of your preconceptions.

+1 to what Martin said...you ought to take what you can from it because it WILL help you more broadly than at UK.

You are absolutely right. I did assume that what I heard from the media was a fact. One should always check info for accuracy and I learned that lesson. I actually really like to get to the bottom of things. I didn't realize I sound like a posturing opinion -slinger. I guess I have some growing up to do as an adult

This is where I got my Biden misinformation from by the way

You get your news from a YouTube channel called HiRezTV run by this guy. He has a very appropriate Barbie flare to him. I would be a teensy hesitant with what he has to say but that’s just me. It’s not the pink hoodie so much so the glasses and beard and “hey, how *you* doin’?” sideway glance. Maybe, just maybe, not entirely passable news worthy.

We need to start a different type of conversation. And it starts with you.

Ok. Let's start a different conversation. Insulin is free for all diabetics in Russia, we have government sponsored healthcare. It doesn't matter how old you are, what age group or what pre-existing conditions one has. All.Healthcare.Is.Free.( except dental)

You may want to think about what the true cost of that medicine is.
We also have a place for you here. Where three meals a day are free. Free warm bed. Free heat, water and electric. High high security. Free arts and crafts. Free educational courses. Free mental support groups. And yes, free medical assistance and care. Only problem is that most of your freedoms will be stripped and everyone around you has little knowledge of the outside world. But that does not seem to be important to you.

Ohh, I see what you did there. I have lived in the US for 19 years. Graduated from High School. Got my first job. Got married. Graduated from college. Had a baby. Lived most of my adult life in Woodhaven, Queens. You want to talk freedom? Not the pretty word freedom, but rather actual one? I have type one diabetes. When I was in college and prior to that I was getting free healthcare as a low income person. Once I graduated and started working as an RN my health insurance became paid and my quote was close to 2000$ per month because of the preexisting condition. I had no choice but to exercise my freedom not to get healthcare and pay out of pocket for doctor visits just so that he would prescribe insulin and then I had to buy it out of pocket...Hmm, you still want to talk about the cost of healthcare? Not some metaphorical cost, but actual $ cost that I had to take from my family budget?
I also was able to build a house here without getting a penny in debt. That freedom would not have been mine in the US. No one will tell me or my family that I have no choice but to take an experimental vaccine over here. You see where I am getting at? Which one of us lives in a country that resembles the condition you described? The answer might be different from what you think.

$2000 per month with prexisting condition buying into a corp system sounds a bit much.
Your tone has familiar ring as many Russians get paid to participate on social media inflicting propaganda to the gullible.

Listening to trump fawn over putin and attempt to break up NATO and now the Swarmey dude broadcast his intentions about Ukraine its troll time again for Russians to help GOP who will help them.

I have 0 faith in the GOP to do anything about US support of Ukraine. Too much money has been invested by the heavyweights like Blackrock, Monsanto and Dupont. You know that the aid Ukraine has received is going to get paid back with ownership of Ukrainian land? It's those said companies that are going to benefit. Once Ukraine loses they will get nothing. No GOP is going to stop those corporations from protecting their " investments"

I moved from US in 2013. The quote I received was in 2008-09 roughly. Before Obamacare. Let me assure you that my tone is based solely on my experience in both countries. I have been on this forum long enough to not be accused of getting paid for lying, but I guess that doesn't count in your logic. Yes, Nalod, getting paid by Russian propaganda machine to write on bball forum is clearly the likely explanation for my words. Well done Sherlock.

I have 0 faith in the GOP to do anything about US support of Ukraine. Too much money has been invested by the heavyweights like Blackrock, Monsanto and Dupont. You know that the aid Ukraine has received is going to get paid back with ownership of Ukrainian land? It's those said companies that are going to benefit. Once Ukraine loses they will get nothing. No GOP is going to stop those corporations from protecting their " investments"

And yet you tilt to conspiracy of big corp?
Were you and independent contractor as an RN or part of a company?
No sprinkle of "George Soros"?
No doubt when we offer aid to countries we expect they use U.S. domiciled companies in its rebuild.
There are always strings attached.
Wars are about money. Putins failing economic policies over 20 years and the corrupt privatization of former soviet entities was beyond criminal.
Living in Russia perhaps one cannot freely discuss politics in critical terms.
So to promote the system as you are gives me doubts to the true nature of your intent.

Conspiracy of big corp? I don't even know where to begin with that one. We are all grown ups. This stuff is easily looked up. This is not Russiagate we are talking about, it's all out in the open.

I was a full time employee on payroll if that answers your question. George Soros stuff I don't care much for as that actually has a conspiracy scent all over it. My argument was that GOP cannot change the course of action as the lobby is too powerful on the Hill. It's not just some " strings attached".

Russian failed economic past was as criminal to it's future as they come. I am very glad that it's no longer the case. Let's refrain from redirecting our conversation tho.

Now for the last point you made. Anyone in Russia can freely criticize the West. That's what I am doing. Why is it giving you doubts about the true nature of my intent? I don't need to get paid to talk about it here. What does it have to do with not being able to criticize Russian politics in critical terms? Your logic does not make sense.

Can't be critical of Russia.
Then we can't have an honest conversation.
Not saying west is not worthy, but we can't really converse.
If full time employee with a system that had a health care plan, then $2000 a month as part of a corp plan seems steep.
You accused big biz as in for a land grab.
Lobby is way too powerful for objectivity by U.S. gov't. I agree.

We get it. Russian citizen who used to live in U.S. being critical of the west.

This **** runs deep in our country. She has worked for Supreme Court justices. She has worked for the White House and the DOJ.

She is a ****ing leech on our country who is spreading lies. Here is her background, written by the law school she attended:

https://www.liberty.edu/news/2021/04/23/kerri-kupec-former-justice-department-public-affairs-director-and-ag-counsel-lends-advice-to-communication-students/

After serving as a communications director and legal counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom — the largest conservative nonprofit law firm in the United States — and the White House spokesperson for the U.S. Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh confirmation team, Kupec became the Director of Public Affairs and Counselor to Attorney General William P. Barr for the Department of Justice under President Donald J. Trump in 2018.

There is a vicious and very naked assault that is happening on our country and it is happening via the Republican Party right out in the open. This is the “News” channel that is making half our country’s citizens even dumber than they already are.

If you don’t vote in the presidential election or vote for the Republican Party, this is generally what you are supporting. Maybe you vote for specific topics you like that are espoused by the Republican party, but in reality this is what you are actually voting for in effect.

My lord that was one of the most brilliant uses of the Chewbacca defense I've heard in a while. Give her kudos for keeping a straight face

This is where I got my Biden misinformation from by the way

You get your news from a YouTube channel called HiRezTV run by this guy. He has a very appropriate Barbie flare to him. I would be a teensy hesitant with what he has to say but that’s just me. It’s not the pink hoodie so much so the glasses and beard and “hey, how *you* doin’?” sideway glance. Maybe, just maybe, not entirely passable news worthy.

We need to start a different type of conversation. And it starts with you.

Ok. Let's start a different conversation. Insulin is free for all diabetics in Russia, we have government sponsored healthcare. It doesn't matter how old you are, what age group or what pre-existing conditions one has. All.Healthcare.Is.Free.( except dental)

You may want to think about what the true cost of that medicine is.
We also have a place for you here. Where three meals a day are free. Free warm bed. Free heat, water and electric. High high security. Free arts and crafts. Free educational courses. Free mental support groups. And yes, free medical assistance and care. Only problem is that most of your freedoms will be stripped and everyone around you has little knowledge of the outside world. But that does not seem to be important to you.

Ohh, I see what you did there. I have lived in the US for 19 years. Graduated from High School. Got my first job. Got married. Graduated from college. Had a baby. Lived most of my adult life in Woodhaven, Queens. You want to talk freedom? Not the pretty word freedom, but rather actual one? I have type one diabetes. When I was in college and prior to that I was getting free healthcare as a low income person. Once I graduated and started working as an RN my health insurance became paid and my quote was close to 2000$ per month because of the preexisting condition. I had no choice but to exercise my freedom not to get healthcare and pay out of pocket for doctor visits just so that he would prescribe insulin and then I had to buy it out of pocket...Hmm, you still want to talk about the cost of healthcare? Not some metaphorical cost, but actual $ cost that I had to take from my family budget?
I also was able to build a house here without getting a penny in debt. That freedom would not have been mine in the US. No one will tell me or my family that I have no choice but to take an experimental vaccine over here. You see where I am getting at? Which one of us lives in a country that resembles the condition you described? The answer might be different from what you think.

$2000 per month with prexisting condition buying into a corp system sounds a bit much.
Your tone has familiar ring as many Russians get paid to participate on social media inflicting propaganda to the gullible.

I have been on this forum long enough to not be accused of getting paid for lying, but I guess that doesn't count in your logic. Yes, Nalod, getting paid by Russian propaganda machine to write on bball forum is clearly the likely explanation for my words. Well done Sherlock.

I have 0 faith in the GOP to do anything about US support of Ukraine. Too much money has been invested by the heavyweights like Blackrock, Monsanto and Dupont. You know that the aid Ukraine has received is going to get paid back with ownership of Ukrainian land? It's those said companies that are going to benefit. Once Ukraine loses they will get nothing. No GOP is going to stop those corporations from protecting their " investments"

Maybe research why Ukraine is important to continue building NATO's infrastructure. Ie. Democracy. US investment thus far has been minimal. Compared to the cost of engaging directly in war. With the US and European support, Ukraine has embarrassed big red. That must hurt.

FYI, not a smart claim to say corporations would be able to contribute enough money to make a dent. Unless your narrow thinking has concluded that they have as much funding available as countries like the US and those in Europe.

Bro you were not just wrong but also you failed at the simple task of using google effectively for like 2 seconds. Even though you tried multiple times.

You don’t even pay attention to what you are reading when you take the time to actually do that.

Do better man. Like by a lot.

I admitted to both. But thank you for kindly rubbing it in my face afterwards. Classy

Classy?

ramtour, I don’t **** around in this space. This **** has real world consequences and there are people out there spewing disinformation - whether by accident, on purpose, or for lack of trying - and you did just that.

If it takes you more than a couple back and forths and then additional tries with Google and you still can’t come up with simple stuff, you gotta start worrying about something else and start trying a different way.

fwiw, Martin is offering you some solid advice.

In general, it's better to put in the effort to be well-informed and avoid coming across (with anyone and in any forum) like a posturing opinion-slinger. A key facet of that would be open mindedness and a willingness to embrace information outside the boundaries of your preconceptions.

+1 to what Martin said...you ought to take what you can from it because it WILL help you more broadly than at UK.

You are absolutely right. I did assume that what I heard from the media was a fact. One should always check info for accuracy and I learned that lesson. I actually really like to get to the bottom of things. I didn't realize I sound like a posturing opinion -slinger. I guess I have some growing up to do as an adult

This is where I got my Biden misinformation from by the way

You get your news from a YouTube channel called HiRezTV run by this guy. He has a very appropriate Barbie flare to him. I would be a teensy hesitant with what he has to say but that’s just me. It’s not the pink hoodie so much so the glasses and beard and “hey, how *you* doin’?” sideway glance. Maybe, just maybe, not entirely passable news worthy.

We need to start a different type of conversation. And it starts with you.

Ok. Let's start a different conversation. Insulin is free for all diabetics in Russia, we have government sponsored healthcare. It doesn't matter how old you are, what age group or what pre-existing conditions one has. All.Healthcare.Is.Free.( except dental)

You may want to think about what the true cost of that medicine is.
We also have a place for you here. Where three meals a day are free. Free warm bed. Free heat, water and electric. High high security. Free arts and crafts. Free educational courses. Free mental support groups. And yes, free medical assistance and care. Only problem is that most of your freedoms will be stripped and everyone around you has little knowledge of the outside world. But that does not seem to be important to you.

Ohh, I see what you did there. I have lived in the US for 19 years. Graduated from High School. Got my first job. Got married. Graduated from college. Had a baby. Lived most of my adult life in Woodhaven, Queens. You want to talk freedom? Not the pretty word freedom, but rather actual one? I have type one diabetes. When I was in college and prior to that I was getting free healthcare as a low income person. Once I graduated and started working as an RN my health insurance became paid and my quote was close to 2000$ per month because of the preexisting condition. I had no choice but to exercise my freedom not to get healthcare and pay out of pocket for doctor visits just so that he would prescribe insulin and then I had to buy it out of pocket...Hmm, you still want to talk about the cost of healthcare? Not some metaphorical cost, but actual $ cost that I had to take from my family budget?
I also was able to build a house here without getting a penny in debt. That freedom would not have been mine in the US. No one will tell me or my family that I have no choice but to take an experimental vaccine over here. You see where I am getting at? Which one of us lives in a country that resembles the condition you described? The answer might be different from what you think.

$2000 per month with prexisting condition buying into a corp system sounds a bit much.
Your tone has familiar ring as many Russians get paid to participate on social media inflicting propaganda to the gullible.

Listening to trump fawn over putin and attempt to break up NATO and now the Swarmey dude broadcast his intentions about Ukraine its troll time again for Russians to help GOP who will help them.

No GOP is going to stop those corporations from protecting their " investments"

And yet you tilt to conspiracy of big corp?
Were you and independent contractor as an RN or part of a company?
No sprinkle of "George Soros"?
No doubt when we offer aid to countries we expect they use U.S. domiciled companies in its rebuild.
There are always strings attached.
Wars are about money. Putins failing economic policies over 20 years and the corrupt privatization of former soviet entities was beyond criminal.
Living in Russia perhaps one cannot freely discuss politics in critical terms.
So to promote the system as you are gives me doubts to the true nature of your intent.

Conspiracy of big corp? I don't even know where to begin with that one. We are all grown ups. This stuff is easily looked up. This is not Russiagate we are talking about, it's all out in the open.

I was a full time employee on payroll if that answers your question. George Soros stuff I don't care much for as that actually has a conspiracy scent all over it. My argument was that GOP cannot change the course of action as the lobby is too powerful on the Hill. It's not just some " strings attached".

Russian failed economic past was as criminal to it's future as they come. I am very glad that it's no longer the case. Let's refrain from redirecting our conversation tho.

Now for the last point you made. Anyone in Russia can freely criticize the West. That's what I am doing. Why is it giving you doubts about the true nature of my intent? I don't need to get paid to talk about it here. What does it have to do with not being able to criticize Russian politics in critical terms? Your logic does not make sense.

I need you to read that sentence out loud to yourself and real slowly so it sinks in.

Maybe ask Vmart to join you.

Make it a duet.

Studied and played in Spain and Italy. Have family in Norway.
Great and beautiful countries. But once you have lived here and grown accustomed to what the US offers and it's culture, those countries fall short for me. Of course that is my personal opinion based on my experiences.

Where have you lived?

I have lived in China for 20+ years. A lot of Chinese also love their country and think it's the best. I'm sure that's true for many people around the world. "Suburban" America is awesome- big houses, swimming pools, boating, the list goes on. I have met a couple of people in China in the .1% and they don't live as well as the 1% in America., just because they don't have so many options for spending money. The flip side is all the people nodding off from fentanyl in public or geeking out on tranq. This summer was my first time back in four years and in every city I visited (NYC, St. Louis, Memphis, Syracuse) my friends and family told me about how dangerous the city was.

martin has made some good points about Joe- I always liked him. My opinion is that regardless of record he will look old on the debate stage next to Trump and lose the election.
