Its not unusual in the north for homeless people to commit small crimes during the Fall so they can go to jail for the winter. The police really hate Fall.

go for walks? you could get hit by a car, that's risky. Don't go for walks? Not exercising is dangerous. Spend time outside? you could get skin cancer, not my problem. Don't spend time outside? You're not getting Vitamin D or enough activity, you'll probably have a heart attack.
Basically if you don't live exactly the way that i do, and make all the same judgement calls i do, you're clearly a crazy risk-taker or lazy bum who caused their own problems. My illness, however, is just bad luck.
It must be tough to live your whole life worrying that someone, somewhere is having something good happen that they didn't "deserve". And of course if something bad happens, fuck that person, they obviously did deserve it. got cancer? Fuck you, here's a free bullet, grandma. Go suck some dick in a back alley if you want chemotherapy. Also, we need tort reform so that grandma can't sue the company that told her Asbestos was safe to eat in her breakfast cereal every morning for 30 years even though they had proof it was deadly. I don't want ambulance chasers affecting my 401k.
Fuck you sick people, if you weren't such lazy and immoral people you'd be healthy and rich like me!
God bless America.
Sure, you pay for mine, I'll pay for yours. Average it out over 300 million people and you've got a large insurance pool.
LOL. Your plan for health care reform in America is very straightforward, I'll give you that!
1) Be born to middle class or upper class parents. if your parents don't have insurance, you should have picked a wealthier vagina.
2) Get a job from a company that provides excellent health care. If you are ever fired, laid off, or outsourced, kill yourself. Ignore the fact that fewer companies provide health insurance these days, and that major employers like Wal*Mart will be sure to schedule your work hours so that you never qualify.
3) When you are old, the government will suddenly become an acceptable solution. But not before then, because if you're taking care of old people it's compassion. Taking care of young people is communism.
This story is clearly a troll, thank you for pointing it out. The man obviously has health insurance, as you have so aptly proven -- everyone in America does! He must be wanting to go to jail for the lulz.
Oh, you would rather have two cars, cable, and a big house than health insurance? That is your choice, stop whining to me about it.
Also, if homeless people would stop buying gold dubloons and fine art, maybe they could buy a nice house, too!
Awesome! All you have to do is stay 20 forever, and never get sick and you're set.
You do not get to pound your fist about free speech and then deny it on your own website.
Why not?
I'm all in favor of free speech, and the KKK should be able to march down main street just as frequently as the Shriners do. The government shouldn't be in the business of telling us what is acceptable to march for. But if you start spouting racist stuff on my web page or in my living room, I'm going to kick your ass out.
I've built and worked on several Drupal sites, and it is definitely a love/hate relationship. It is a system built by programmers, for programmers, with some site building stuff tacked on. It has gotten better over the years, but it still feels a lot like a college programming project that grew too big. There's lots of theoretical greatness to it, while it seems to have been built by people who never actually built a real web site before. Basic things like adding images, or trying to change layouts has historically been a huge PITA. But every site gets a slogan and primary/secondary menus. WTF?
"IT people are usually of higher than average IQ... " You obviously don't understand how averages work.
How so? Are you claiming that any given set will always be statistically representative of any sets it is a member of? If you can show that is the case, you'll win a Nobel prize in Mathematics.
