		<description>I&#039;m just happy to know that getting our heath care bills paid by insurance professionals (or our governments) is BS.

I say make the doctors work for free. There&#039;s an incentive to become a doctor  there, I just can&#039;t find it right now.

Also sad that I cannot articulate that message in a more arcane manner.</description>

		<description>Um, do you really think this is a new thing, or is it slightly possible that as you yourself have gotten older and more experienced you have noticed it more?  How many generations have you personally observed in your lifetime?  Chances are when you were 8 years old you didn&#039;t notice the bitch in your mom&#039;s card club who always got the neighborhood husbands to fix her garage door for her, or the creep in your dad&#039;s office sucking up to the boss.  People, in general are opportunistic assholes.  Always have been, always will be.  You just got your eyes opened, that&#039;s all.

Sorry I couldn&#039;t put more four-syllable words in this post.  I&#039;m the product of public education.

		<description>Yeah, yeah. Same old same old, whine about how mankind is getting worse and worse every minute. What shall we do? Everywhere you look its plundering, spoiling and massacre. We will all die and destroy earth and universe in process. What s decline of a mankind from..... stone age, right?
Irony is that it never gets old. pretty sure after another millennium there will be someone saying this exact shit as somebody did in the last millennium, crying over the day that has gone by. If you look hard enough you will find the stories in all the cultures showing how it was the absolute decline of the mankind and eventually one or another messiah came and restructured the society. only to start the gradual fall all over again. What are the odds that it will ever happen again? I mean it&#039;s not like history is full of incidents where man made a mistake and learned from it and then made a totally different one and again... oh wait!

Laugh or cry, Laugh or cry, Fuck it. Imma have a drink rather.</description>

		<description>anglophile-  

I&#039;m not upset, or even moved by your comments, but it is possible that they were unnecessarily harsh. I&#039;m &#039;worried&#039; about that.

The expanse of one&#039;s vocabulary, while possibly suggesting an equally expansive range of thought -  is also not necessary. And while I have access to an impressive vernacular, and not just a thesaurus like you might sumise.... it neither prevents nor ensures my understanding. That little thing happens all by itself... without big words like &quot;marmalade&quot;. 

My intention in that larger comment was to talk about how it&#039;s so common to see now, people such as the poster of this panote, exploiting something/someone so effortlessly and without pause... for their own ease in transaction, upper hand in a situation... We&#039;re so comfortable with this form of entitlement - that we are entitled to exploit, or put to use (more euphemistic approach) these things that society prioritizes... like the girl who fakes her cancer for her own gains of pity, money, fame... etc.

i was fusing that above thought (albeit in a smaller sentence) with the concept that the transition into this exploiting nature (to generalize)  has become more apparent through the actions and dialogue of the last few generations.

I hope that THIS comment will be acknowledged for the benevolence and relevance that it was intended and for christ&#039;s sake - i really did like the &quot;novelesque health care BS&quot; that was written above. Good stuff, congratulations, really. Fuck.</description>

		<description>Many massage therapists won&#039;t work on cancer patients because the massage can actually cause the cancerous cells to spread more quickly.

And a manicure would almost certainly entail all kinds of carcinogens.

Besides that, chocolate and sugar are highly acid forming once digested, and create an ideal environment for cancer to spread (as opposed to alkanize forming foods, like lentils, pumpkin seeds, and raspberries).  

Heh.  If you play the C card, at least pick an appropriate gift.</description>

		<description>Sorry, Bexx, but as my post was written as a response to strudel, for some reason I wrote what would be relevant to strudel.
Whether or not it would be relevant to you, or anyone else for that matter, seemed irrelevant at the time.
I didn&#039;t know you felt entitled to a response from me which would have universal relevance.</description>

		<description>sigh. 

Mark, you couldn&#039;t be farther from grasping my point. 

I&#039;m sorry that i was misunderstood on that colossal scale, i don&#039;t know your demographic, vice versa... but i was hoping that the involuntary perception of demographical focus wouldn&#039;t be involved. Crap.  

Without reiterating my point I will clearly state that my above monologue was NOT &quot;Kids These Days&quot; rubbish. Read it again.</description>

		<description>Bexx, in other words, you&#039;re saying some variant of &quot;Kids These Days&quot;?  Eh, you hoser?

How about this:
&quot;The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.&quot;

Commonly attributed to Socrates (though that may be apocryphal).  The point is, adults have been bemoaning &quot;Kids These Days&quot; since time immemorial.  But somehow the kids generally turn out alright.

Still, though, &lt;i&gt;GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU WHIPPERSNAPPERS!&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>When we get around to having that chat room, it would be just so [uber-awesome] if it was compartmentalized (like our thinking), and have sections for the illiterate, the loquacious, and the talented.

There should also be an exam for the &#039;talented&#039; chat room, for obvious reasons. 

***erased text where i tried to be an illiterate dumbass who couldn&#039;t spell for a joke but then started thinking of existentialism and the futility of it all***

That was a nice informative to the &quot;american?&quot; health [industry]... the subject was american shit, right? So kind of interesting on a whole, but really irrelevant to myself as a Canadian? Good stuff. You&#039;re well written. Congratulations. Really. 

My dad died of ALS last year. It&#039;s right up there with the nasty deaths that this jackass c-card person was eluding to. 

The whole Cancer thing... the whole Entitlement thing that we are so motivated about as westerners. It&#039;s just a whole other topic. 

A forum, if not that chat room idea would be nice so that we could talk about the [important] things, like why the last three generations (the last being the kids in preschool/gradeschool now) are so fixated on ruminating in their own defecated entitlement, and lack the previous generation&#039;s free and progressive thinking. 

It should be pretty fucking apparent now that we&#039;ve entered a phase of human existence where we SHOULD BE functioning more towards a global awareness... yet we&#039;re still stuck - i have to say it again - Entitled to all the bullshit that we perpetuate. Takes &quot;grow up&quot; to a whole new level. 

I&#039;m existentially exhausted with the repetition of falling in circles as a species, but appreciate the mild gossip-socialization-drama need that this thread has filled. Damn, i&#039;m one of you too.</description>
