He can always see if Conny will give him one of those new meds...
Misleading statistics Don't help Notch.
America spends more per capita on health but that doesn't mean we should admire the American system.
The reason Ireland spends more on health is because most people have to pay through private insurance.
Waiting lists for treatment are for those who can't pay.
Odds is upset because I pointed out his many opinions stated as fact on EU.He can always see if Conny will give him one of those new meds...
take Brigs advice and calm down

...... or a line if that's your thing, but it'll just get you more hyper than before
“The reason Ireland spends more on health is because most people have to pay through private insurance”
and the lies keep on coming.
less than 50% of people in Ireland have health insurance -so no most people do not have to,pay through private insurance.
“Waiting lists for treatment are for those who can't pay” - thats true in the U.K.
Obviously.Odds is upset because I pointed out his many opinions stated as fact on EU.

He also claimed that this caused huge numbers of homeless people.
I didn't claim any such thing.
Notch was banging on about Ireland having a 60 billion euro surplus.
I replied that it's easy to save money if you don't spend on defence , health care and housing.
What percentage of GDP does Ireland spend on defence.
You do like to twist people's comments into something they're absolutely not. You did it to me, when I questioned if something had really happened, and you twisted it into, "So you think they deserved it"!
Your English comprehension is a lot lower than many English speaking foreigners I know. At least if they have a problem,, they have the grace and honesty to ask for an explanation.
You lack both of those qualities, on top of your poor command of English comprehension.
Notch did absolutely not say what you think he said:
Notch said, "Vinty is a tribal unionist.".
Now if you need that explaining, just ask.
Notch also said, "It is the dogmatic attitudes of people like you that kept the violence running so long in Ireland".
I will explain this one for you because this is obviously the bit you're having problems with.
It is tribal unioist attitudes (similar to that held by Vinty) that helped to prolong the violence in Ireland. (The same could be said about tribal Nationlists, but that's beside the point).
Notch did absolutely not suggest that trobal unionists attitudes affected in any way the NHS waiting lists.
Your tactic of debate is dishonest and immature.
I suspect that is because you have difficulty with the fallibility of your arguments.

There are lots of homeless in Ireland, but that’s true in Northern Ireland and rest of U.K., probably across Europe too.
it’s a common dishonest technique used, same thing as brexers who claim EU is “protectionist” without making meaningful comparisons.
I wasn’t banging on about it.
But that’s not true, Ireland clearly does spend a lot on healthcare - just because better off people in Ireland pay a small contribution doesn’t mean it’s not govt funded.
It isn't plagiarism if he provides the reference to the original.You aren’t allowed to steal my lines
Maybe trazor and gant will want to pursue this.
