Bill's spot on IMO, and I'm surprised there's not a stink about him as big as Michael Moore from the conservative side, or idiot sheeple.

[phee]

I believe he is correct... He usually is... although sometimes he can be a bit of a douche... but much nicer the M. Moore

[Shaun]

Agree with everything he said there.

[creatureofthenyte]

He is just as much of a douche as Michael Moore; if not more-so sometimes.

I'm sure Mr. Maher has absolutely no trouble accepting the fat paycheck he gets from doing his tv show; there by making him a bit of a hypocrite in lecturing about greed.

Actually I think he sort of admitted as much at the end of the monologue

...why you hate Bill so much?

...are his rants just to true?

He does get a check but nobody loses their insurance because of his show. He's not pointing out that it's bad for companies to make profits. He's pointing out that it's bad for companies to make profits off of harming other people. If Kaiser-Permanente(sp) refuses coverage for someone because of a minor spelling error on their form and someone has to pay $50,000 for a surgery that KP was supposed to pay for it means that KP has $50,000 more.

Years ago insurance companies used to be about insurance (you pay a little every month...when something goes bad we help you).

Now, insurance companies want you to start off paying a little every month, then they find out that your great-grandfather's brother-in-law's son's best friend died of thyroid cancer in 1905. Then they say you're an risk for thyroid cancer so your rates double. And then you find out you have a heart defect that you didn't know about...however, you may have had that since before you signed with us, therefore it's a pre-existing condition. So that $40,000 it costs to fix the heart defect won't be paid by the insurance company. It'll be paid by you. Anybody here have $40,000 to spend?

That's it, right there. You hit the mothafuckin' nail on the mothafuckin' head. It ceases to be "insurance" when you have to use it for things that you can foresee, like routine office visits.

Well said,what pisses me off is how the government goes and helps poor sick people in third world countries and does nothing for the poor and sick people here.

WTF,another thing that so many(sheeple) fail to recognize is the beginning of fascism in this country,I hate huge corrupted greedy corporations with a passion and always will.

Yeah well the government signed a contract that sealed us into wasting millions of dollars on AIDS in Africa and other shit...also that crap where we provide aid to countries in need of it after a disaster. It is both a shame and something to be praised depending on the situation. However, it is often the shame part because of the contract to the UN that certain people signed...not going to mention names but Obama...sorry I just had to.

Anyways...I am just wondering how you equate us sending billions in foreign aid to other countries to corporate greed? I mean, if it were greed you think that they would be keeping the money for themselves right? And the corporations are not making the government do this...the government screwed the pooch all by themselves which makes the fact that they need a nanny all the more true. Is it just the fact that you mention corporate greed in almost every single post or is there really a link? Just wondering...

[Hellion]

Well candyman,look up MCI Worldcom and Enron,two good examples of corporate greed

Hey where'd you run to? Don't like living in reality?

I'm sure you have some rational facts to back up your dislike besides he's rudely bursting the magical little fairy tale hole in the mud most conservatives/republicans have firmly planted their head in.

This could possible cause another thread but.. I wonder.. compared to the rest of the world (will be using the London riot as an example)

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO AMERICA?!?!

They raised the rates a bit in England and didn't listen to the protests so what happened? The lads of England put down their tea cups and RAGED. They have a backbone. America doesn't. We get fucked over all the time by corporations, insurance, and government, we had a chance for change, but the republicans won against the health care reform and rich bastards in the drug companies are still rich, and people are still dying.. what does america do? silently sighs as it gets rammed in the ass once again. Where's our fucking backbone? What happened to our fucking pair of balls?!?! What the fuck did we forget from the 60's? How could a nation, hellbent on not letting this happen, just one day roll over and take it in the ass without even a fight.

And WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO INTELLIGENCE?!?! Is this why we're taking it in the ass so hard? We're too stupid to know any better? We ONLY elect people who believe we walked with the dinosaurs 4,000 years ago.

I don't know about you, but I sure as shit don't feel safe with someone having access to nuclear codes and relations with other countries if they still believe in silly shit that was believed in the dark ages.

Oh and I would like to point something out.. Religion is the ONLY thing people still believe in that's from the dark ages, no matter how ruthlessly and brutally science, rationality, and just basic common sense prove over and over again that these stories are retarded. I mean, lets look at some other things that were believed as fact in the time religion ruled (the DARK AGES for those who wonder) Bathing was a guaranteed way to get ill from evil spirits, the world was flat, the sun revolved around the earth, stars were actual celestial beings, sea monsters existed, a man had sex with a sex changed clone of himself made from a rib (incest from the start) and invented sin by listening to a talking snake, and then had children, that had more incest, to create another generation that had inces.. wait that actually explains a lot about people today.. but anyway, the dark ages also believed alot of other stupid shit that we don't believe anymore.

We didn't lose our intelligence, we simply adopted willful ignorance. And that along with giving up our backbone, results in a country of pure fail with it's population's heads up their asses.

And if you don't believe america is this fucking stupid, look to who some people are talking about as a potential president of 2012.. Sarah Palin.. (maybe the Mayans were right about 2012 being the end of the world after all) Look at tea baggers, never admitting Bush ever did anything wrong, but watching Obama worse than a paranoid scitzo thinking he's the fucking antichrist against humanity or something.

If you want my Opinion, using the word antichrist as symbolism.. I'll tell you who the real antichrist is.. it's Jesus Christ himself. Every time I see any one person, or a group of people, who manage to make such huge asses out of themselves it defies physics, that shady character, Jesus Fucking Christ seems to be lurking behind their actions.
