In spite of me regularly paying into the Medicare kitty since I started working as a teen, and in spite of my monthly Medicare bill of $104 I still need a supplemental to Medicare to pick up the 20% and other costs it doesn't which is another $136.80/mo. for Plan F. And that doesn't cover drug coverage which just increased to $18.40. $259/mo. total with the best coverage and services available. That's a helluva lot cheaper than Obamacare!

There is no easy solution for medical insurance. Am thankful I live in a country with the finest medical care in the world. Can't imagine living in Kenya, Syria or even England where you have to wait for weeks to get your tonsils out much less a kidney transplant or chemotherapy.

Does anyone watch street fights on the web, If so i'm sure you've heard of Kimbo Slice. He's a huge black guy and he was undefeated..Just lost his first fight. If you haven't seen them but want to search Kimbo fights and you should be able to find all his fights. In one he knocked a guys eye almost out of his head..

what is your definition of a mass shooting? How many people shot, how many dead?
If you're going to flirt with statistics, then you need to set the goal posts

This is the objective definition of "mass shooting", time for you to stop bitching about it

"Mass shooting refers to an incident involving multiple victims of gun violence. Mass shootings can be a form of mass murder, which is commonly categorized as the murder of four or more people with no cooling off period. While the U.S. has 5% of the world's population, 31% of public mass shootings occur in the U.S."

Is that another prediction from the liberal beloved Nate Silver, or are you ready to bet on it?
If Trump or Cruz is no longer in the race when July rolls around, I will leave. If either one of them is still in campaign mode, then you pack your global warming bags and go away...

Certainly the fact that the USA has 5% of the population yet 45% of all the guns might skew the statistics from the norm. Perhaps.
Where do most of the mass bombings happen?
Mass stabbings?
Mass blunt force traumas?

Deaths are deaths, way more people being killed in car accidents caused by inattentive drivers than from firearms wielded by mentally unstable individuals. No one calling for highways to made illegal, cars to be made illegal or driving to be made illegal.

Stop trying to put the genie back in the bottle by making inanimate objects the brunt of your scorn.

Perhaps the 200,000 violent acts or 16,000 murders the average child sees on TV by age 18 has something to do with it?
Maybe we should make violence on TV illegal?

Perhaps the hero worship we dole out to rifle toting soldiers and Marines has an effect on the mental well being of young boys who want to be like the hero?
