Khuutra, Noname told me you were a terrorist! But now that I read that post I think he meant tourist...

Is "Kiwi" derogatory?

Well, he doesn't want to come home still time of year.

Nope! We even name some of our sports teams that way if we don't use some variation of white or black.

We have:

  • All Blacks
  • Black Caps
  • All Whites
  • Black Cox
  • Tall Blacks
  • etc

As you can see we're a racially divided country anyway.

All Blacks are awesome. I even have an All Blacks shirt.

But this is still funny.

All you have to do is look to our neighbors up north to see that government run healthcare is a joke.

Actually this is nonsensical in other ways. Do you think that Canada is the only country with socialized healthcare? What about the UK? Or France? Or pretty much any first-world nation that isn't the United States? Do you know how low the WHO ranks the US in terms of its healthcare system? Are you going to suggest that we have the best healthcare system in the modern world?

Here is a hint: we don't. Socialized healthcare is the norm. In most civilized nations, healthcare is a right, not a privilege. For a lot of folks in the Western world, the idea of losing socialized healthcare is probably the worst thing you could confront a person with.

If you are going to argue for socialized medicine, you might not want to use the WHO as an argument. There means of measuring countries is extremely flawed.

For example, they rate uniform quality of care. So if in the US the worst care a person gets is say 50% of optimum, and the best care a person in the US gets is 100%, we are scored lower then another country if that entire country gets 20% of optimum.

They have several other metrics that don’t tell the real story with respect to how well your taken care of if you need medical attention.
