Doctors in Canada think they make too much and others make too little

[Bob Denman]

Bob, tithing is a religious concept.

"Charity" isn't a religious concept: no matter what you call it.

If a Church is giving the money to worthwhile charities: what' the harm in that?

I agree.

Why are you always bashing THE Skinny Community DIVIDER. He was voted out.

Now that is a certifiably ignorant and false statement.

[UtahPete]

I finally read through the entire article and was ready to respond, but it's gone.

I finally read through the entire article and was ready to respond, but it's gone.

The bottom line is that those that responded felt I was trying to start something controversial; so, I removed it. I read the article all the way thru, and just found it interesting, and was not intending to take one side or the other. I actually felt that no one else but you would read the entire article, and I don't believe those that responded did. And, thanks for reading.

not at all, she lost, which meant no third term for the skinny community divider

Back to the subject of medical ethics, Call the Canadian system SOCIALIST or whatever you wish but in my opinion it works great.Pretty well every civilized country in the world has a socialized health system except the USA.Does this mean we are all socialist and wrong and the US is the only one that has it right. Our doctors are free to start there own private practice the same as our dentists,optometrists, audiologists etc. and charge what they wish. They are also free to leave our country and practice elsewere including the USA but I have never seen a line up of doctors trying to cross the border or leave period. Maybe I am wrong but I think we have a wonderful system and would not want it any other way even if all systems has its flaws. Everyone to there own opinion.
All the best

We are all entitled to our opinion. I think the division is greater now, unless we are not talking the same division.

I saw those comments and I can understand why others might have felt that way, but I didn't. It is a very thought-provoking article, addressing many controversial issues (e.g. allocation of scarce public resources, legal vs. religious definitions of death, society's obligations to pay for the consequences of someone's belief-based decisions, the role of science vs. religion in making public policy, etc.)

Your question was really quite limited; is anyone committing murder by pulling the ventilator system from this woman? My opinion is NO, but that is based on my personal beliefs not on any legal or medical protocols, which I'm not qualified to address.

The division is left over from the last 8 yrs and the identity bashing.

It's small-minded people and attitudes like yours that continue to divide communities, not political leaders.

Hi Pete,

Re: It's small-minded people and attitudes like yours that continue to divide communities, not political leaders.

Yup,

Let's talk about redistribution of wealth.........

I am a strong believer in "a hand up, not a hand out" and I help through my church and several charities as I am able. A good start to helping out is called a "tithe". 10% of one's income. It would be an interesting study of how many politically conservative versus politically liberals actually give at least a tithe to those who need it.

giving charity out of the goodness of your heart is a lot different then taking someones money and then distributing a percentage as that person sees fit.

don't tell me what to do with my money and i won't tell you how to have sex with your wife!!

This thread is getting very political and will get pulled.

most off topic threads are issues.

[Bob Denman]

You're the one that made it that way. And, you're the one that began with the insults. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen and good riddance.

Telling folks to leave isn't cool...

You live with "liberals" all around you whether you choose to acknowledge us and our contribution to society or not. We are everywhere, including LEO, military, churches, gun owners, business owners and executives. There aren't enough of you to 'round us up and send us to Canada'.

Why do you feel the need to bash everyone who doesn't buy into the far-right-wing propaganda, which incidentally is the MAJORITY in this country?

Don't you think maybe that's just your bias?

Pete,
But couldn't this be your bias.. against his bias?

My head is starting to hurt...
