@DietDrMario

I think this octopussy has downs

[manofthehour91]

this is actually quite extraordinary considering most creatures don't recognise images on a screen.

It's funny how the octopus thinks that the images on the screen are real threats/prey. It's even more funny how many idiots watching youtube think that the people that they subscribe to on the screen are actually their best friends, HAHAHAHAHA!

@Soler0 Good thing there are intelligent, free-willed people like you to sit around and gripe on the internet.

Im not suprised. I was watching a doco on snakes once and my cat was glued to the TV. She was trying to figure out how to get inside the TV to get the snakes lol.

@Kasu1917 It's not profitable in a business sense but it is profitable for society as a whole. From a non-US POV I agree the latest attempt to introduce a sane HC system in the US simply entrenched the insurance companies even further. For profit health Insurance companies are the problem not the cure.

@Kasu1917 You misunderstood what I said. I never talked about the care itself. I talked about the science. The fact is, some of the biggest companies on this earth, makes medicine, and do research into how to treat deceaces. Lots of money to be made... That is what we are discussing. The very care, and the hospilization itself is so neclected on quality (and who gets to get it), we agree on that very much!
