Sir, my mother has overspent and on top of it put a caveat on the house. My situation is that i have to help pay off her debt so it is wise to get an understanding of my very individual circumstance which my mother put me in. It has nothing to do with our system and everything to do with my mothers individual greed. Sorry, but you seem to be covering yourself over with already preconceived ideas ad closing the door without knowing the full picture with regards to me. Ehem....perspective.

I knew about your situation with your mother. You've told us a lot about yourself including the situation with your mother. You've told us a lot about your country as well. I get the picture, so to speak. You given me enough of the picture to form some opinions and make some decisions. I'm a Republican voter. I've been told that Republican voters are very very rare in your part of the world.

Given you know of my particular situation judging my country on my situation is a poor judgement. Judge by what goes on for the majority, not just by my situation. Your comment, "Lady, based on what you've told me about yourself, I've got everything you dream about/talk about having some day. You're going to have a hard time convincing someone like me that your system of preference (government controlled) is better than the system that we prefer (individually controlled)." Tells me you are comparing my situation to your own individual situation. A silly comparison given we are both living different lives with a different past. If you were talking about the crap that goes on with the govt you may have a leg to stand on. But as you said, "Lady, based on what you've told me about yourself, I've got everything you dream about/talk about having some day.  You instead are comparing our lives. If you know of my situation it is silly to compare us. It is wiser to look at the wider human condition in both countries or preferably, state by state compared to NZ perhaps. Not by two people in two countries. You are not getting a wide picture that way. One thing you are right about is that Republican voters are not a thing here. Good that you are listening.

Who has a broader view, the person who knows the Republicans, the Democrats and the Progressives or the person who only knows two of the three? I've been comparing more than just our lives. Its silly of you to come back at me the way you just came back at me. You must not have been thinking. You must have been just going with your emotions.

Nope. I am basing what I say purely on what you said to me. "Lady, based on what you've told me about yourself, I've got everything you dream about/talk about having some day." Those are your words. YOU personalized it. The words YOU, YOURSELF and ME are personalized words. It is a comparison of your life and mine. Given you did not say that was a misinterpretation by me in that one comment to me that is what I have to go by.

You, your life, your situation with your mother, your experiences, your feelings expressed about America, your feelings about Republicans in general, your relationship with your government and its single payer healthcare system are all personal. How am I able to respond without getting personal with you, so to speak? You're trying to turn this into something more personal that it is. I've got/accomplished everything that you dream about/talk about having including health insurance without government assistance or a single payer healthcare system. Is that personal or a truthful response that you may or may not have been able to handle emotionally?
