Doctor tells Obama supporters to f*** off

Some people can't accept change.The old health system was a farce.

Whether this one is any better.? Who knows but there's not much point in shooting the messenger before the message is delivered.

This Doctor is not going to convince too many that he has an interest in their wellbeing but rather some self serving unresolved issue with his political affiliation.

In order to support your accusation that I am rationalizing, you first have to prove that my justification for accepting Medicare is invalid. To simply dismiss the argument as rationalization without first addressing the subject matter is cowardly evasion.

Therefore, it is moral for doctors to accept Medicare as recompensation even if they are philosophically opposed to government involvement.

I'll reply to your other post by citing this one. If you believe that government involvement is philosophically objectionable, accepting money from a prime example of such involvement IS, in fact, hypocrisy.

Tolerating government involvement when it profits you morally weak-minded.

Subjugate physicians? Where in health care reform does it say that? I mean I'm not crazy about the health care bill, but this physician has crossed a serious line.

And no, a free agent does not have the right to choose who he wants to do business with. A private landlord cannot refuse to do business with somebody because of their race, for example.

And before you get all high and mighty on me, I am a senior pre-med. Will be a M1 next year. Am looking forward to practicing medicine just as much now as I was pre-March 23.

Russia will be a Net Oil importer by 2025.

Russia will be majority islamic by 2026.

Putin will have to retire sometime before then.

Russia can either side with the west or watch itself be destroyed from within, and then genocided by an alliance of China and its ethnic Muslims.

What does Russia have to do with this? Why would China ally with Muslims to destroy Russia when they already oppress Muslims? What would China do with Russia? What's wrong with you?

Well, I would have agreed with you, but the actions of this doctor, that you defend, are very clearly and unarguably against my morals. If they are in accordance with another's morals (yours and the doctor's), then morality must be subjective.

They're nihilists, Donny, nothing to be afraid of.

He's an American hero!

I wish I could ask people who they voted for and not deal with them at work.

Sorry, but the statement that "morality is objective" is a subjective opinion.

The AMA should put the guy on notice and threaten to yank his licence. My 70 year old right wing grandad, who is a doctor said that. He says that there is no place for extreme politics like this in the hipocratic oath.

The AMA doesn't control licensure and your grandad is an old fool. The whole point of a free economy is that it prevents fools like your grandad from f***ing up the lives of others.

True, the statement "morality is subjective" is an absolute, but since it is a meta-statement about morality, and not a predicate of any moral code, its being an absolute doesn't invalidate/validate its subject.
