Bill Maher...But I'm Not Wrong - Nazi Healthcare (HBO)

[MikeMths35]

Actually the head of the Nazi Labor Front Robert Ley was creating in 1940 a massive post-war healthcare program for the German workers, so Maher doesn't know what he's talking about.

[macktruk13]

nothing wrong with moonshine and leeches

[bweazel]

Bill Maher makes my head hurt. How could this idiot be allowed to be such a condescending putz?

[demented669]

eugenics look it up, give control over your body to the state you get what you deserve.

[MaLoDe1975]

actually nazi germany had universal health care.

[albedoshader]

@MaLoDe1975: Actually health care was invented in Germany 50 years before the Nazis existed or came to power. The Nazis just continued to have it. The Nazi argument is just an embarrassing example of why the rest of the world gets the impression that US Americans are retarded.

[LongBow1600]

@albedoshader I always had the impression that Americans were retarded. Even before Bush. I smart you see.

[Skadoosh417]

is social health care like Canada's medicare system?

[bweazel]

@Skadoosh417 Rationed shit for care? Yup.

[bobthefreak09]

When I think of idiots, I think of Bill Maher. He used to be funny. Now, he's just a smart-ass. :(

[emantabrizi]

@bobthefreak09 ... Better than being a dumbass.

[shaloneithne]

he just put gay marriage on par with child pornography. Either he was joking and he thinks both are actually good things or at least neutral things that Americans make a big deal about, or they're both bad, but How could ANYONE think that two consenting adults making a legally binding contract is the same as an adult person victimizing a helpless child? Either way you cut it, it's an awful thing to do. Gay marriage is harmless at worst, In spite of what some fundamentalists say. But Child porn?

[em129836]

@shaloneithne He was definitely joking. Watch Real Time. He is very liberal when it comes to that and openly supports gay marriage. I was he was just pointing out how ignorant, biased, and hypocritical most rightwing conservatives are by comparing socialism and gay marriage to child pornography. Just a guess tho...

[shaloneithne]

@em129836 Right, I do. But in this one instance he equated them together so if he's joking he just made child porn sound ok.

[tom0968]

@shaloneithne..he's not saying what HE thinks..only what the stupid rightwingers MIGHT think when they hear the word socialism..they don’t even compare those words in the joke..“ they don’t know what it is..just that it is something super awful like gay marriage or child porn..”.we have this saying about someone hoe thinks he knows something ,but actually doesn’t...” he‘s hearing the tower clock sound ,but doesn’t know where the clapper’s hanging." i'm not hearing him make child porn sound ok...

[ukkfayooyay]

You know what the funny thing is? One of the things the Nazis did when they took over Germany in 1933 was to institute universal health care. No joke. Read "The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer. Of course that doesn't mean Obama is like the Nazis -- but it's just one of those odd things about history.

[HBCjunke]

@ukkfayooyay yes but even before the ethnic cleansings of jews and other 'underserables' they were euthanizing the menatly and physically impaired.

[360ElGringo]

@HBCjunke Like the Americans did in the 1930's ?

[HBCjunke]

@360ElGringo im not defending the forced steralizations of 'undersirables' it was wicked and stupid but there was no forced euthanization of the menatly and physically impaired; that said theres not defending the forced steralizations. also im american and say fuck nationalism.

[MikeMths35]

@HBCjunke That was an extremely small percentage of the population, less than 700,000 people out of 80 million citizens.

[miruz19]

@ukkfayooyay

yeah, so? it was national-socialism. both nazism and fascism are a (sick) evolution of socialism. :P

[shaloneithne]

@ukkfayooyay Which is why so many good german people stood by while he turned their country into a poster-town for evil. Because of the clearly good things he'd done on the way. The trick is to latch onto the good things and be ready to cast out ONLY the bad things. and FYI, Sweden and Finland both have universal health care, as do most of the industrialized countries in the world... America is one of the very few that are backward that way.

[bringyourchainsaw]

I wonder what the world would be like if britain,france and spain controlled america... ha

[Kinjamaimai]

I wish couples would just start having ONE baby, maybe the resource problem wouldn't be so pressing in

60-80 years...

[Zighammer]

Hey

[MrTeddy236]

so how is the universal health care there really, i have seen much info but i want a British "real" pov, so are there two types of healthcare, public and rivate where the really rich can get the very best but the middle class and poor can get decent healthcare?

[Sideshow1111]

@MrTeddy236 Basicly say somebody who cant afford Healthcare privately is in a car accident, and his leg is broken or something. he will be put up in hospital and cared for for as long as they need till they are absolutely fine again. free of charge (except the tax for it which tbh is completely reasonable rate). However Private Docters and so on are always quicker and your usually in a more sterile environment if you need. they arent necessary, just something the rich do because they can, =]

[MrTeddy236]

@Sideshow1111 thanks for the info, now i can join the protest to help america catch up :)

[Sideshow1111]

@MrTeddy236 No problem at all cousin from across the pond!

[MrTeddy236]

@Sideshow1111 haha, im not a citizen yet, but i want to be politically active starting early because im in high school

[Sideshow1111]

@MrTeddy236 Its a crime when citizens are not political active in my opinion! Good luck in your endevours - btw love the sabbath profile pic ;)

[Sideshow1111]

@MrTeddy236 Oh and a private docter will do plastic surgury for right amount instead of looking at all ethical routes and having uber waiting lists for non essential needs.

[ThePoisonYouth]

He looked like a Nazi on his last show with Rachel Maddow... they simply would not let dissent act against him. It's easy to get everyone to like you when manipulating the facts and interrupting anyone who has an actual point to make. Someone said "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."... this hack actually wants you to trust your government...he is willing to trade freedom for security. Pussy motherfucker.

[MrRobertGulabo]

@ThePoisonYouth You were not around at the time when private corporations and the nobility ruled over Europe and what a disaster that was for regular folks. Back then, their idea of "government" was the nobility ruling over the peasants. The idea that a government was run not by nobility, but by the people for the people is what made America the great country that it is. So it pains me when there are folks who want to return to feudalism. It wasn't the libertarian utopia they make it out to be.

[ThePoisonYouth]

@MrRobertGulabo Do you really think the people run the US? The powers that be wouldn't let that fly. That's why there's an electoral college.

[xaviqaz]

@MrRobertGulabo Nobility and corporations ruled Europe? They still do

[IronVen]

if hitler was president, he would give americans all healthcare.

[darkmiles22]

I'm from Arkansas and what is this?

[ghostymcghosterson]

@useacondompeople you are an idiot. you should get sterilized so you never reproduce. condoms and the pill are not 100% effective.

[MustacheVerra]

What does Bill Maher knows anyway huh? The health care bill was written by the insurance company on wall street. Only fool would follow that idiot!

[apoplexy1974]

social health care all the way..... im from uk.. our hospitals are free and top notch too

[cloudbuster77]

@apoplexy1974 then why are their private hospitals for rich? it's two tiered

[computerjero]

@apoplexy1974 Take away the 1 week waiting time and you're fine.

[MrJJModern]

@apoplexy1974 and in more debt than the US. good point.

[thoostorm4]

@apoplexy1974 looters too

[PhilanVortex]

@apoplexy1974 As an American, I do envy your healthcare system. I am curious though, and I'm not trolling, but one thing I've read many times is that your health care system has a waiting period for surgeries for up to months at a time. I saw in a documentary that some hospitals are being slightly privatized to reduce waiting further, but that would take away from the idea of social health care. Maybe you could shed some light. Like I said, I'm just curious.

[albedoshader]

@apoplexy1974: Similar in Germany. If universal health care (free or not) already qualifies for communism or loss of personal freedom, then call me an unfree commie, if “you Americans” feel better then. At least I HAVE healthcare. :)

[SaveTheWheat]

@apoplexy1974

It may be satisfactory treatment. But it is second to how treatment would be if we all *kept our money*. If we kept our money, the dollar would not devalue. If we kept our money from devaluement, the cost of any med procedure would cost a FRACTION of what it costs now. I'm talking birth control packs for $5 per month. Playing Monopoly with the workers money through redistribution is a scam.

[IchFresseTitanJa]

Moon shine and leaches lol.

[meb659]

The only problem with the health care thing is the crushing generational debt that will be created to cover the cost of the plan; the very beginning of which will still be being paid when our grandchildren have grandchildren. . But yeah, let's give people health care though. I'm for that.

[grendelee]

@meb659 so if paying for insurance makes companies go into debt, then why do the health insurance companies do it? dur dur dur dur durdur....

[useacondompeople]

@meb659 HOW ABOUT GIVING UR SELFISH, SENSELESS BREEDING A BREAK, HUH? THIS FRAGILE, OVER POPULATED, POLLUTED EARTH IS ALREADY AT FULL CAPACITY. U CAN STOP BREEDING 4 AWHILE NOW. use a damn condom or birth control pill; would it kill ya? if u can't manage this concept, then let's just TAX THE RICH AND SUPER RICH. they got mor than enuff. duh

[MustacheVerra]

@useacondompeople lol... You're just an msm brainwashed idiot. The earth can sustain a lot more people than it does now just fine. Get off your couch moron and go outside and you will see that.

This whole global warming is a lie the establishment uses to draw more power to themselves.

But i agree about taxing the super rich of course that's nobrainer since THEY have the wealth.

[types10000]

@MustacheVerra

"This whole global warming is a lie"

- oh great another global warming denier.

yeh, fuck the scientists, you know better than them.

idiot.

[MustacheVerra]

@types10000 I'm guessing you are smart enough to know the politicians are bought and paid for right? In turn, the politicians finance the scientist. But he will only(mostly) finance scientist that goes along with the plan. Plus, scientist can be just as corrupt as politicians are. You know when you have kids to feed and all that, some people quickly loose their principle. Hope you learn something here but i suspect your programming is to deep and will take a while. Just planting seeds here. :)

[types10000]

@MustacheVerra

"I'm guessing you are smart enough to know the politicians are bought and paid for right?"

- only in conspiracy theories.

how scientific research is financed is financed is irrelevant as all scientific findings are subject to the scrutiny of the entire scientific community through peer review; and not just the scientists in your country either.

your position is informed by an ignorance of how science works.

[MustacheVerra]

@types10000 Well if you don't know politicians are bought and paid for you are in big denial.

And who do you financed the scientific community to begging with?

"your position is informed by an ignorance of how science works"

Actually, the problem is i understand something you don't. You live ins system that was, like your computer, construct(by the elite). Scientist can do what ever they want, but the establishment will protect their interest and silence those who area a threat to them

[types10000]

@MustacheVerra

"Well if you don't know politicians are bought and paid for you are in big denial."

- no, your just a delusional idiot who believes in conspiracy theories.

"And who do you financed the scientific community to begging with?" - the freethinkers of the enlightenment, but that doesnt matter as regardless of who finances science, it is scrutinized by the entire scientific community through peer review.

[MustacheVerra]

@types10000 blablablablabla You can use all the linguistic/name calling in the world but it doesn't change the facts.

[MustacheVerra]

@useacondompeople lol... You're just an msm brainwashed idiot. The earth can sustain a lot more people than it does now just fine. Turn off the TV, get off your couch moron and go outside and you will see that.

This whole global warming is a lie the establishment uses to draw more power to themselves.

But i agree about taxing the super rich of course that's a nobrainer since THEY have the wealth.

[MustacheVerra]

@useacondompeople Do you realize there's a part of the elite who wants to reduce population? Not because we are to many, although I'm sure they think so, but because it's more difficult for them to mange us. Now if you encourage them with this over population nonsense they might be actually state releasing virus to lower the population on this planet, do you understand that?

The msm is manipulating us and they've convinced you the earth is over populated which is ridiculous.

[types10000]

@MustacheVerra

"Do you realize there's a part of the elite who wants to reduce population?"

- do you realize that there are leprechauns that live under the ground and are planning to take over the world?

you have your crazy-ass conspiracy theories and i have mine :)

[MustacheVerra]

@types10000 Well i heard there are actual elitist who want to reduce population. I assumed it was true but did not verify this info myself so i could be wrong. But it makes sense once you understand how the elite thinks and what is their goal.

[types10000]

@MustacheVerra

"Well i heard there are actual elitist who want to reduce population"

- from where? fox news or some crazy-ass conspiracy theorists?

[PhantomSephiroth]

@useacondompeople Glad somebody else realised this, Capitain Caps lock.

[GermanStraight1]

@useacondompeople

well

you what Mr Carlin once said ...

Quote , " one planet is meeting the other , the first one complains ... UH I got humans , the other one says ... do not worry , you´ll get over it " :-)))

[vgman94]

@useacondompeople Yeah. Most Endangered Species will all die out within 50 years if we don't quit breeding. People need to learn to stop thinking with their genitals and the US Government needs to stop spending it's money on stealth fighters and prostitutes and spend some money giving real education (which also helps reduce population) and contraceptives to people in 3rd world countries. Most urgently, the majority of countries in Africa.

[albedoshader]

@useacondompeople: Ur is the name of an ancient city in Mesopotamia. What does it have to do with the topic? And why are you using all caps? Nobody listens to people who scream all day long.

[SaveTheWheat]

@useacondompeople

Ick. Yeah. I know people who ADMIT to trying to outbreed other religions and races. On the other hand, if everyone alive were to be good stewards of the planet, then we wouldn't see it as "overpopulation". Theoretically, we could double pop (or more) with no problems if we treated the earth like the living thing she is.

[MrAngryLiberal]

@meb659 The health care plan would actually reduce the deficit.

[bigmaxuu]

hahaha
