Random Rants LIII: F My Life

[choxorn]

On the other hand, it's still not quite as crappy as America, so... partial Rave?

 

[Camikaze]

Yeah, a lot of the fear with the university changes is that this could lead to a worst-case scenario - an American-style system.

Why on earth would that happen? I thought Germany prided itself on its Universal Health System.

As someone who is currently under the American-style system, I feel for you.

Actually I now remember there was a foreign exchange student from Germany in one of my classes not too long ago. He told us something like "We Germans complain about how our healthcare and education systems suck, then we remember about America."

*shrugs*

Na, we're way to self centered to seriously consider that.
At least that prevents our systems from further deteriorating (theoretically), so that we will not get there.


Rant on my own: My left index finger hurts . And I'm left handed. Not nice .

And too much work. But that's nearly normal ^^.

If you use your off hand, it feels like somebody else is doing it.

From what I understand, the German health system is broadly similar to the US - with mandates, subsidies and employer sponsored insurance covering most people rather than NHS style healthcare.

That is going to the "Brought to you by CFC" thread.

It's the little things that make life worth living.

We're talking about Australia here.

And we do... hence the anger over the budget over here.

However, we are being lead by an ultraconservative libertarian government.

Actually...I normally use my other...er...the problem mainly applies for using the mouse/keyboard , and that's really annoying as computer scientist.

 

[Farm Boy]

Rotate palm 180 degrees.

 

[Arakhor]

Then he'd be a rakshasa!

$240mil for school chaplains. I'm positively irate.

'Ultraconservative libertarian' is very situational I think. Compared to US ultraconservative libertarians, the Abbot is a communist.

Rick Santorum uses our prime sinister as a role model.

Not a good sign.

 

[Ajidica]

Was Abbot the guy sort of in favor or returning the "White Australia" policy?

 

[Tee Kay]

Going back to White Australia is taboo but considering this is a government that has proven itself brutal and dishonest in treating asylum seekers, wants to make the school curriculum focuses on "Judeo-Christian values" and "benefits of Western civilization", plans to repeal a law that punishes racial villification, and has just thrown the post-1970s national consensus on health and education policy out the window, the post-1970s national consensus on multiculturalism is definitely not in safe hands.
