    My heart bleeds for the poor underpaid US doctors.

    $230k for US docs vs avg $129k for non US. Are they really that much better?

    I saw this thread, didnt take much interest and didnt look in it .
    Then I noticed that Sabang had posted .
    I thought to my self "I bet that Sabang has posted a something about the opposing group" , finger pointing as if to say "Thats nothing so and so's even worse"
    He seems to do that very often .
    If theres a thread about a certain topic, criticising a group or cause that he believes in, he just replies with some made up facts accusing the otherside of being even worse.
    For example : If there wa a thread about bnot being able to take sausages into Gullivers in a Muslim country, hhis typical response would be "Thats nothing, in the USA some places dont even let you take your telephone in"

    Are these figures gross earnings or net? Makes a big difference as the cost of insurance for doctors in the US is extremely high

    'LiberalSpeak' has been decoded once again:

    DIVERSITY: People who look different but think the same way. Diversity applies to race, sex, disability, and sexual orientation. It emphatically does not apply to opinion. Indeed, when it comes to political views, it has taken on more or less the opposite of its Oldspeak meaning.

    GREED: Wanting to keep your own money.

    NEED: Wanting to be given someone else’s.

    COMPASSION: A politician arranging the transfer.

    FAIRNESS: State-enforced equality. It absolutely doesn’t mean reciprocity, proportionate reward, or just deserts.

    INVESTMENT: Government spending. Any lingering trace of the original meaning—that is, of assets producing some kind of return—was obliterated by the spending splurge that preceded the 2008 crash. The beauty of the word, from the Left’s point of view, is its flexibility. Almost any financial settlement can be described as “underinvestment,” in the sense of being a smaller settlement than someone, somewhere would ideally have liked."

    The Left (Once) Loved Snipers, Too

    "American Sniper has been an unstoppable juggernaut at the box office so far, surpassing the money earned by James Cameron’s Avatar and Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ in their respective opening weekends. Clearly this is a movie that is broadly resonating with the American public."

    ...packed theaters having to turn away moviegoers. Selma, not so much.



    That’s a Woodie Guthrie song dedicated to a Soviet woman sniper during the Battle of Stalingrad. Could it be that lefties only hate American snipers?

    "Let’s see: if you can’t make the moral distinction between terrorists who aim to kill civilians and a uniformed military person, in a lawfully authorized war, shooting terrorists attempting to bomb your comrades using children dressed in civilian clothes, then you must be a liberal. With lots of empathy"

    Boon Mee, as an American you might think there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans... for a non-American such as myself, it's all the same crap and BS.

    It's actually not a bad movie although the ending was underplayed in my book.

    Him and his mate got shot dead by a nutter they were trying to cure of PTSD .... at a shooting range.

    And, to add insult to injury, that fat old POS Jesse Ventura won his lawsuit against the widow.

    Very bad ending.

    Because Kyle made up some fairy story about chinning him in a bar.

    And to make matters worse, even having won, he's going after the estate for more because the publicity made them loads more money in book sales.

    I would imagine he'll be after the film rights as well now it's cleaned up at the box office.

    I wonder if that Paris stuff was a false flag operation by the movies producers to stoke up interest in a film about killing ragheads?

    Well, it appears the Lefties are into some heavy-duty Kyle Derangement Syndrome stuff since the obvious success of this movie.



    In case you didn’t​ know: “​The Real American Sniper Was a Hate-Filled Killer.”

    So reads the first half of the headline to a January 6 essay by Lindy West at the Guardian’s website"

    No argument from this poster although the differences are ideological rather than along straight party lines.

    btw, Hollywood has let its mask slip - they really do hate the Military.

    They like it just fine as long as the money keeps rolling in. The military and various agencies within the govt have been in bed with Hollywood for a very long time I don't see that changing anytime soon no matter how liberal most directors claim to be.

    Did you read the essay or was the headline about all you could manage?

    And perhaps quoting the full title would help, or don't you like being referred to as a "simplistic patriot"?

    The real American Sniper was a hate-filled killer. Why are simplistic patriots treating him as a hero?
    That question came to the fore last week on Twitter when several liberal journalists drew attention to Kyle’s less Oscar-worthy statements. “Chris Kyle boasted of looting the apartments of Iraqi families in Fallujah,” wrote author and former Daily Beast writer Max Blumenthal. “Kill every male you see,” Rania Khalek quoted, calling Kyle an “American psycho”.

    Retaliation from the rightwing twittersphere was swift and violent, as Khalek documented in an exhaustive (and exhausting) post at Alternet. “Move your America hating ass to Iraq, let ISIS rape you then cut your [at][at][at][at] head off, fucking media whore muslim,” wrote a rather unassuming-looking mom named Donna. “Rania, maybe we to take you ass overthere and give it to ISIS … Dumb bitch,” offered a bearded man named Ronald, who enjoys either bass fishing or playing the bass (we may never know). “Waterboarding is far from torture,” explained an army pilot named Benjamin, all helpfulness. “I wouldn’t mind giving you two a demonstration.”

    The patriots go on, and on and on. They cannot believe what they are reading. They are rushing to the defence of not just Kyle, but their country, what their country means. They call for the rape or death of anyone ungrateful enough to criticise American hero Chris Kyle. Because Chris Kyle is good, and brown people are bad, and America is in danger, and Chris Kyle saved us. The attitude echoes what Miller articulated about Kyle in her Salon piece: “his steadfast imperviousness to any nuance, subtlety or ambiguity, and his lack of imagination and curiosity, seem particularly notable”.

    There is no room for the idea that Kyle might have been a good soldier but a bad guy; or a mediocre guy doing a difficult job badly; or a complex guy in a bad war who convinced himself he loved killing to cope with an impossible situation; or a straight-up serial killer exploiting an oppressive system that, yes, also employs lots of well-meaning, often impoverished, non-serial-killer people to do oppressive things over which they have no control. Or that Iraqis might be fully realised human beings with complex inner lives who find joy in food and sunshine and family, and anguish in the murders of their children. Or that you can support your country while thinking critically about its actions and its citizenry. Or that many truths can be true at once.

    Yes, some of it is just plain old antiwar whinging, but some it is is quite relevant.

    Kyle sounded like he was full of hatred for all Iraqis, and who wouldn't be in a war like that? But the movie never addresses this issue and how it affected him, it just paints him as a good ol' American hero saving the world every day blah blah blah.

    I wouldn't expect you to be interested in the truth, after all it was your beloved party that blocked the bill intended to help stop the 20+ veteran suicides every day, wasn't it?

    Now all of sudden veterans are your heroes.

    And you opened a thread about double standards; you can't make this shit up.

    Kyle might have sounded as if he hated all Iraquis but that's only to the ears of an anti-war whinger, eh? Kyle was just doing his mission in time of war and if that means killing as many of the enemy at long range as he could, well that's what it's all about.

    btw, another example of Liberal Double Standards:

    War is war, Booners, personally I couldn't give less of a fuck if he did his job.

    But that isn't the point, is it?

    The point is all these hypocritical wankstains getting indignant about him being a hero when they couldn't really give a flying fuck about other veterans that need more help than he does.

    And you prattling on in the meantime about "Double Standards", you utter mong.

    You still don't get it, harry...the dichotomy here perfectly illustrates the attitudes between the left-wing latte-liberals and the folks who need to get the job done.
