Death rates: Britain's Health System more dangerous than America's Guns


So, the socialists love British socialized health care and the British ban on guns.

So let's see what that means in reality eh?

In 2010:
UK: 157275 cancer deaths
UK cancer death rate: .2489%

US: 569490 cancer deaths
US cancer death rate: .1844%

The US has a dramatically lower death rate from cancer, because the US (somewhat) private health care system does a better job of treating, managing, and curing cancer than does the British system.

If the UK had America's superior cancer death rate, that is 40,734 more Britons who would have survived 2010. That's a 0.06% rate of death by socialized medicine.

Compare to the roughly 16,000 Americans who were murdered by a firearm - a 0.005% chance.

So, the British are 10 times more likely to die of socialized medicine, than an American is of a gunshot.

America's death zones hits If this is the state of our nation during relative peacetime and perceived prosperity, imagine what it’ll look like in the midst of financial, economic or political turmoil. Americans living east of the Mississippi River will likely experience the brunt of it. But anyone residing in and around any major U.S. city will, likewise, have a tough road ahead of them. So for want to know more about America's death zones hits being with us....

Is Government "just the name we give to things we do together"?

"Government is just the name we give to the things we do together." Well, no. This is a truly deceptive statement. Because look here, there are many, many human institutions where people get together to do things. Churches. Clubs. Corporations. Non-profits. Families. And these all have their own unique characteristics. If government was simply a variety of these, or vice-versa, why would we bother to have a unique word for it? If government were *merely* a charity, wouldn't we just call it a charity? What is it about government then that makes it unique? I'll tell you. It's the use of force. Government is the sole human institution that legitimately exercises physical force against others. Churches don't commit violence. Corporations don't use physical coercion to get you to buy their products or to work for them. Families don't (shouldn't) do that. BECAUSE government's essence is the use of force, government simply should ...

Murder in the US

In 2011, I calculate the overall US murder rate as 4.6 per 100,000 population. But if you recalculate this, and assumed that black men murdered at the same rate as everyone else, the overall rate would drop to 1.9 out of 100,000 population. That would give the United States the 147th highest murder rate in the world - or, the 60th best. The insane disproportionate murder rate among US blacks is why the overall US murder rate seems so high. I don't understand why liberals refuse to talk about this. I don't understand why blacks refuse to talk about this. Blacks are just as often the victim as the offender - almost SIXTY PERCENT of murder victims in the US are black. Shouldn't they care about this? Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to talk about this? Yet they are silent. And it's not like this is any secret. This culture of violence, abuse of women, and plain thuggery is paraded around daily in pop music. It's glorified on TV shows like "...

Self-loathing is the root of Marxism

  Marxists think having to work for a living is "slavery". Let that sink in. We are living beings. We require certain things for our survival. Those things don't magically appear before us. We have to work for them. Food, shelter, and all the things we have created in our industrial civilization, have to be CREATED through productive effort. For most people, there is nothing bad about this - it's a fact of life, and, many of us find satisfaction and joy from the effort. We work to sustain and improve our lives, which we love. Marxists rail against this fact, and call it an "injustice". They call it "slavery". Terms like "wage slavery" are what they call having a job. So, to be clear: Marxists hate work. Because they hate the idea of working to sustain their lives. Because they hate their lives. Because, at root, they don't believe they are competent to do the things the rest of us do - creative productive effort. So they hate themselv...
