Heaven forbid we care about the health needs of ppl who aren't us.

You are muting people because he makes a good point. Healthcare is not a human right granted to all by a mysterious power
-
It is a question of 'who pays for your healthcare.' A private system says you don't have the right to my money to pay for your treatments
-
Yes & I think that will result in more people lacking healthcare, suffering & dying than a public one which covers everybody.
-
I will end up contributing to treatments of conditions that will never affect me - testicular cancer, sickle-cell anaemia etc.
-
Its not that I don't understand that people end up paying for the health of people who aren't them. It's that I think that's a good thing
-
How is that a good thing? That is theft when enforced against a persons will. And ultimately the government decides on life or death
-
Because ppl get healthcare & don't suffer & die needlessly. More important than some ppl's feeling that tax is theft.
-
As to whether gov decides on life & death, if you feel the system isn't working to save as many lives as poss, reform it rather than end it.

@vekox Is a good friend of mine, muting him is a bad move. If you don't agree just asking to stop writing you and he will. -
That's OK. He can still be your good friend and not have to talk to me.
-
Of course, but you can just ask him. You were both "talking" to each other. If you had ask him to stop he would, that was my point.
-
Do you think muting people is wrong? I do so quite a lot if ppl are deliberately missing the point or I forget & try talking to them again.
-
Not at all, but in this case you didn't have to. You could have just ask him to stop. We have this type of talks all the time.
-
Is the problem that you think I misjudged him & he's someone you can have a conversation with & so mute-worthy to avoid that happening?
-
Yes definitely, Twitter can be hard to express what he's trying to say, he's a personal friend so I've spoken with him many times.
-
OK. I will unmute and perhaps we can try again another time.
