Wistful of Dollars posted:... Wat? Faustian Bargain posted:It's 2 conservatives simultaneously arguing the Coulter should be able to go to Berkley and use hate speech and Colbert should be fired for making a joke about Dear Leader. Regalingualius posted:It's calling out conservative hypocrisy, though? seiferguy posted:You understand that it's saying people who are demanding Anne Coulter be allowed to speak are also demanding Colbert apologize / be fired over his cock holster comments. In other words, their defense of free speech is only for when it spouts their views. Eh, I guess it just feels lazy. It's almost just a dude copied and flipped with text on the shirt. Like if this was "Stop Ann Coulter" and "Keep Colbert", people in this thread would have mocked it and called that laziness out. Maybe I'm just setting expectations too high for American political cartoons.

Maybe it would work better if the two guys weren't off-model, so it is clear it's the same fat dipshit wearing two different shirts? I dunno I'm with you - it's a badly done comic that obscured the message.

I think you're right, there's plenty the visuals could convey other than "here are two old white fat guys, probably republicans by the vacancy of their faces and souls." The comic works fine, and brevity is preferable to Mr Fish Writes Words On Paper. But it is definitely possible to stick a confederate flag or Fox t-shirt in there to specify that, while the joke is that these dudes are hypocrites, maybe the problem is the upbringing these guys had or the information these people consume.

This was posted about a couple pages back without much comment, so I'm posting again with the comic .      I never really followed this comic, but I do feel bad for the artist. It must suck to have your art hijacked, but death of the author and all that.

Other than being pretty drat funny I don't understand what the deal is with the Zelda comic. How did it get into this thread in the first place? It isn't a politioon I think.

I'd dig out that picture of people on a train with their noses in papers but I can't be arsed, because the fact of the matter is people don't want to loving make small talk every time there's a god drat lull. Some people just want a minute of peace and quiet instead of having some jackass talk their ear off about the loving weather.

Lemming posted:It's the wrong staff too It's hard to blame Ramirez for that one when it's all over hospitals and medical organizations. It's a much clearer reference for a political cartoon than the single-snaked Rod of Asclepius. Alternatively, its a reference to a method of paying for healthcare rather than medicine so the caduceus is actually more appropriate!

Cardboard cutout Ben Shapiro is unrealistic because it looks smug. Real life Ben Shapiro has long since surgically removed all emotions from his body, so that nobody can hurt him ever again.

I've got a single-payer story, from a single-payer nation, for some perspective: In Australia, where I live, I had an anal abscess. [DO NOT GOOGLE THAT]. I waited 4 months for treatment in the national health system, and got treated for free. I guess it was sorted out adequately, after they had the second go at it. You get what you pay for. When my wife had an exceptionally poor surgeon slice open her bladder while removing rampant endometriosis, we were faced with two choices: sit her on a gurney in a public hospital corridor for 36 hours in agony, (and low but real percentage chance of death), or go "Private", to a profit-making hospital, for about $6,000 of your US money and get it sorted rightaway. Easy question because we had some credit left, not everyone has that. My wayward points are these: Single Payer rocks if that is like the NHS in the UK or Public in Aus or NZ, I fully support socialised medicine, yet You get what you pay for, And in an emergency it is good to have private options, These private options will cost you. Hope that helps! Edit: We didn't have health insurance. It sounds mental to people in the US, but down here it does sometimes make sense to self-insure Vandalseed fucked around with this message at 07:43 on May 9, 2017 |

Vandalseed posted:I've got a single-payer story, from a single-payer nation, for some perspective: My wife had endometriosis in the US. She almost lost her ovaries because she had HMO insurance, which is a type of insurance that tries to control costs by requiring that all medical issues go through a primary care physician first before going to a specialist. And through a mixture of perverse incentives to reduce costs her primary care physician was very resistant to order tests or refer her to a specialist. That meant that for several months she was misdiagnosed with IBS. Between deductibles and the cost of prescription birth control pills which she took exclusively to manage her endometriosis post surgery she easily spent over $6000, and that is without including insurance premiums.
