The fact that they think the problem could have been solved by a special ticket instead of a normal ticket and a business card shows just how clueless 110 supporters are.

Making treatment optional is the problem, not the methodology of communicating how optional it is.

    Contribution isn’t arbitrary.

    Do you pay taxes? Congratulations, you’re a contributer.

    Unemployed homeless drug user? You’re a DRAIN on society, not a contributor.

      Nah, you still don’t get it.

      Taxes are not the only valid way to be of benefit to the world. Frankly, reducing human beings to their financial worth like you’re trying to do is bullshit.

      You just managed to lump three different groups into one, and it’s disgusting. You start fun the assumption that being a slave to the system is the only good thing a human can do. And that’s assholery of the highest order.

        Not talking about “being a benefit to the world”, talking about not making other people scrape your shit off the sidewalk.

          That’s a different thing entirely from where all this started, but that is a very important thing. It’s a specific issue that can be addressed without the need to dehumanize anyone. There are plenty of options to rein in individuals doing that, and other bad acts. But that is different from what was previously said.

          You were talking about them in a broader way, dehumanizing them.

          Tell me you didn’t read the link without telling me you didn’t read the link. Or maybe you did, and you’re just an out and proud follower of Hitler, idk.
