Yes, I'd like to see the great, altruistic Mexican healthcare system offer to fly me back home for free, if I got sick there.

Oh, and first, they give me half-a-million in treatment, gratis. Oh, you can bet I'd be seeing red if that happened. Yeah, right.

P freakin' S:

The US will never come after this woman for reimbursement. The US will (would, if I owned it on paper) seize my home for payment of my cancer bills.

yeah. Ok. whatever.

Just remember that in no way do illegals cost taxpayers more money than they give us B.:rolleyes:

She should be wherever she will get better treatment.
I'm tired of people having this Americans 1st opinion. She's a human, I'm a human, everyone is a human. That's it. Caring globally is the only thing that makes sense to me.
And no, i am not saying that America is the only country guilty of this and yes, I think the whole world should take responsibilty for everyone.

Goddess willing, we all should be. I should be in France or England or Canada. No one country can or should take up the slack for every other.

You can be as idealistic as you want. Fact is, you land where you land and go from there. Mexico needs to care for their infirm and unemployed and poor. GET REAL. I should be a fucking princess in Monaco, getting bedside morphine via a Sheldonrs look-a-like. Life isn't fair. This chick got a pretty fair deal IMHO. She could have crashed in...oh, I don't know...CHINA.

I agree. And I think we should all get a pony too.

Kick all illegal aliens out, regardless of country of origin, and start over. No one gets a pass. Next.

I wonder what these guys think about all this illegal immigration.

And before anyone asks, no I don't care where she came from, how she got here or if she paid taxes. Humans are supposed to help humans.

Ah, Shel. Are you sure you don't want to play for the other team, 'cause you are the grooviest! :)

pourbill 03-18-2008 08:33 AM

What you and Shel don't realize is that it isn't about humanity, it's about economics. I can barely afford health care for my family and I sure as hell don't want to pay for other's needs. Hope that your checks have arrived in time to help her. Which of you has the half million?

I do realize that it's about economy. But what I KNOW is it shouldn't be. It should be about humanity. And not just for this woman. For anyone who needs it.

Shawnee123 03-18-2008 08:39 AM

Jump back, jack. I was just commenting on what a nice person Shel is. Sorry if that offends you. Snarl growl spit.

What you and yourself don't realize is you're a dick fuck.

Thanks for setting me straight, though. Whew, almost got sucked in by nice words. Lord knows we don't need that shit.

pourbill 03-18-2008 08:47 AM

Beggin" your pardon ma'am!

Shawnee123 03-18-2008 08:56 AM

Pardon granted.
