Thank you NC for showing me that patch adams really wasn't an annoying clown but a very intelligent and fascinating individual.

Glad to see how the movie was completely false in it's portrayal of this guy.

@HardkoreCasual oops, before I meant to say you are over-privileged when I said underprivileged. Damn auto spell check.

[DriscolDevil]

@HardkoreCasual I am not a liar or an "anti-government" moron, just an educated adult, I wish you could understand such a thing.

Yes I have went into a ditch once but not in the snow if that's what your saying. What difference does it make? There was no real damage so there was no problem. You seem to be attacking me for no reason now. It wasn't due to "roads being maintained" it was just an accident, like they all are. What are you rambling about now?

[HardkoreCasual]

@DriscolDevil You have never not slid in a ditch or got in a crash due to roads being maintained. You're a liar. And I'm done with you. You're just an anti-government moron.

@Tu4sker49 "Guy says we need roads to live, I try to tell him we once live without roads, he stars going on a rant about the government. What's a man to do?"

I couldn't resist. Simplest explanation. I just can't ignore ignorance, no matter how hard I try.

[DriscolDevil]

@HardkoreCasual I lived this long with the government doing nothing but taking (I have yet to see a single one of these "services" positively affect my life) so how does wanting more of that money to go to schools and road repair mean I should live outside like an animal?

Simple, you are underprivileged to a point where you see anyone self sufficient as an animal. You think the rest of us can't live without the government because YOU can't live without the government.

[DriscolDevil]

@HardkoreCasual *sigh* yes I have neighbors that have snowplows so no snow is not a problem and now the state does not plow our roads regardless of how often we have called about this.

So if I think our tax dollars should go to our roads and not into the pockets of corporate rulers and politicians, I should live in the woods?

Taxes didn't pay for my house dipshit, try to educate yourself before rounding us up and killing us or "Relocating us" into the forest, psychopath.

[Tu4sker49]

first of all i love how the first few comments on here are about roads and infrastructure, whereas the video itself is about a man talking about his theories about medicine and his life.

second this man is right, I believe every word he said. His continuing work is fascinating and I am going to try to apply what he says to my own field of work.

[HardkoreCasual]

@DriscolDevil I drive in the snow all the time. But I mean a big snow. If my tax dollars help salt the roads and prevent accidents, I am happy about that. That is what I asked the fucking guy. So I don't know why you decided to jump in. My argument was that I am happy my tax dollars go to things like roads and schools. If you're not, live in the fucking forest and cut wood for a living.

[DriscolDevil]

@HardkoreCasual Yes, it sure would be tragic if we had to drive through the snow.

How will we get to work? Do you put an umbrella on your car when it rains too? Oh I guess you probably depend on the state to put a big one over the whole town or something, right?

Are you seriously telling me you never had to drive in the snow? There is no way you ever lived in the country like you claimed, places like that would eat you alive.

the one thing i can say for sure is that this mans heart is in the right place
