rhys 0 #14 December 5, 2008 Quote We become like you? You need to be a little more proactive with your jumping if you want do that, i will do as many jumps as you have in total in a fortnight sometimes. If you spent more time jumping and thinking for yourself and less time on the internet, then maybe one day you may be lucky enough to have an existance such as mine. You would have to brush off those fucking guns though, no room for those in a peacfull existance. eye for an eye?"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if I have complications with the teeth that I had fixed for free in 1989, after a BMX accident I don't have them fixed for free again? Actually I do, I get them fixed for no charge, they have all the relevant informnation, they pay for the dental surgery if needed and the also pay 80% of my usual income while I am off work.

Skyrad 0 #19 December 6, 2008 You make a fair point. In the UK the governmanet has a terrible track record of loosing sensitive data. From prisoners & patients to Intelligency agencies. But this also occurs in commercial companies. Having private healthcare doesn't make you data any more secure. With socialised healthcare there is a greater chance of the loss being made public and investigated properly rather than being swept under the carpet.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
