Calm down there Mr. Spencer

^exactly, look at Scandinavia, that's a good example, not Venezuela or the Soviet Union the Republicans keep screaming about

@celticrose I know what the story is about, just wasn't sure whether that was what the post was referring to. And yes I am absolutely in favor of letting the family go to another country for care. I was just saying that if the care in the UK is this bad, then push for change. But many people (conservatives) don't want to have a good healthcare system because "BUT SOCIALISM! AND VENEZUELA!!!"

Or, you know. If the healthcare in Italy is of a higher quality than whichever country the original tweet is from (I'm guessing Murica), that means that system is superior. In other words, improved.
As far as I know, Italy has a mixed public-private system and it's regarded as one of the best in the world. You wanna decide to go for something worse, just because you have the power to decide? Be my guest, I'm not the one who's then gonna a cry next to a baby sized coffin.

That reaction in itself is a sign of ulterior motives, you probably dodged a bullet

Ha! Nice South Park reference

My dudes, shit like this is why bodycams are a must. There are news stories out there about cops beating people up for "resisting" when the people are just stressed out and don't know how to follow their orders. Remember that drunk guy who was shot to death while trying to crawl to the cops, as they told him to do? Extreme case, but still. There are also opposite cases. Just recently a woman accused an officer of rape because she was pissed he gave her a speeding ticket. When they reviewed his bodycam footage they found out that not only was she lying, the cop was also a super nice and helpful dude, just doing his job. Bodycams help us find the truth and judge these situations accordingly, so we don't have to argue whether that dude was brutally beat up because he was resisting or not. (Which, even if someone is resisting, is not an excuse to smash their face in. I'm into martial arts and self-defense so I know that there are techniques how to disarm somone without hurting them at all)

That's actually really good to hear! I was afraid it'd be another Ghostbusters lol (though, even that movie wasn't as bad as I expected it would be, it's just that it felt like there was no reason for it to exist)

I haven't actually seen the movie yet, just the trailer, but here's something I've been wondering about for a long time. Hollywood tries so hard to make more female-friendly reboots/sequels, but in the end, isn't that kinda sexist? Like, in the case of Ocean's 8, in the trailer they mention that the main character of this movie and the main character of Ocean's 11 are siblings, right? But that kinda gives the impression that women can't be successful without being somehow related to a successful man first. Not that I actually think that, I'm just trying to show how this SJW logic could easily backfire. Why not make an all female movie similar to Ocean's 11 but just let it be its own thing? As far as I know, Ocean's 11 isn't SUCH a cult classic that they'd feel the need to hitch a ride on its fame, would they?

Yup and the reboot is called Hansen vs. Predator.
Basically, Chris Hansen (the guy in the last pic of the post) and his team start an internet conversation with a predator pedo, have him meet the "bait" (an actress who looks younger than she is) at an empty house, then confront him. I think in most cases the predator is then arrested, with the internet chat log and camera/voice recordings from the house serving as proof of a crime.
If you wanna watch the older show, To Catch a Predator, I'd recommend watching the whole thing only if you have loads of time to spare. It usually moves quite slowly, with the pedo chatting with the bait over the internet, then getting invited to the fake house etc, and the few moments of joy when they finally catch him are brief. But I would highly recommend watching some compilations on youtube. The newer version, Hansen vs Predator, is a lot shorter, like 10 minute segments, but there aren't many episodes.
