Usa people, having a NHS is awesome!

Most people in the UK (everyone aside from the uber rich) loves the NHS. I just want you all to know that when we look at you across the pond, we have no idea why some of you fight so vigorously against the idea of universal health care.

I just wanna say this because sometimes I hear Americans bad mouthing our health care system and sure, its a massive organization and like all huge organizations there are horrible mistakes, but you never ever hear of the 99.999% of the times when people are cured/saved.

I always thought bad-mouthing each other was sort of an intramural sport...no?

@Mamapolo2016 sure, its okay if you mock us [i]personally[/i] for having bad teeth and drinking tea. But please, leave our hallowed institutions out of it.

@DrBenway I would never mock anyone's teeth and I drink tea too, although for me it's a beverage, not a ceremony.

How come yoor institutions are hallowed and ours are fair game? Referee!

@Mamapolo2016 we've had longer to develop them, that's why

@DrBenway That's how you ancients always are. Like a teenaged country doesn't know what's up. Never trust a country older than 300.

DrBenway · 61-69, M

@Mamapolo2016 and forgive the trespasses of a country less than 300. They are still finding their feet

@DrBenway Yes. Fortunately we found our wings a while back.

@DrBenway Not finding our feet but inventing 90% of what you use today while feeding the world.
