I agree, but that is not the point of the thread.

Seriously what does that have to do with this thread?

"So while the capitalist world is busy curing erectile dysfunction and sleep and anxiety disorders that it has helped create, a socialist country just ended mother-to-baby HIV transmission. Oh yeah, and they have a lung cancer vaccine"

I think this bullshit opening quote rubbed some(including myself) the wrong way.....seems to be the theme in more than one cherry blaster thread..

That's fair...CB took a shot, and it isn't the first. But, in simple terms his side's concern in terms of capitalist medicine being about the money more than for the betterment of medicine is well taken. Problem is, rarely in life can you have your cake and eat it too.

Why would that rub anyone the wrong way? Someone mentions capitalist ideology concerning health care that apparently lampoons the long held notion that our country pays our doctors more, therefore they are superior, and people get offended? Holy shit. For decades the same tired arguments have been bandied about and widely accepted as fact simply because we don't know any better and are rigidly opposed to change. Imagine if Cuba came out with a phone that had advanced technology equivalent to this medical progression? How accepting of it would we be then? The fact is, we know little to nothing about Cuba's health care systems because we are too apathetic to care.
Everything is not a stereotype and sometimes ideologies evolve and others become obsolete. We only use a small percentage of our brain capacity as it is, some much less than others. I can't see how closing it off to progressive ideas and advancements simply because we're comfortable in situ ever helps.


Hope this helps,

it doesn`t help...you see no problem with that quote?...really?...it`s outright inflammatory ridiculousness was s intended to troll for a response....

well I responded on an open forum...mission accomplished....

we know plenty about cuba`s healthcare system...theres absolutely nothing "progressive" about how cuba or it`s two tiered health system is run...

I`ll never understand why the left loves to aggrandize monsters like the castros and the hell they put their people through....but it`s deeply engrained so I doubt anything I can say will change anyone`s mind....

You know what brother, that's bullshit and you know it. You don't get to bastardize something and then back it up with "we will never know". If you didn't know the truth, which was my entire argument, than why did you assume license to speak on it as if you did? You've never been to Cuba so why denigrate it as if you were raised there?
