I suspected as much. I’m one of those socialist Europeans.

I don’t know who “we” are in your context, but strongly suspect my “we” is not the same.

I don’t need either. We have a working health care system. My comment was about people having compassion outside their “circle”.

I sincerely hope and believe you’re wrong. Sure, there grades, but I don’t think there absence of compassion outside our circles.

Nobody with a little bit of compassion laughs at stories like this. People read this with a bit of incredulity and a lot of compassion. We might make fun of Americans at times, but there’s no humour here.

I feel my stubborn tendencies is in sync with the digging of heals. Some people deserve a virtual slap for being selfish little gits.
