Arguing with Idiots

So I was went looking for this video

Found it, and was SHOCKED by the stupid people commenting on it. Maybe it is because I am a math major, I can over look spelling, but not math mistakes! :) Anyways, watch the video - there's more that goes in to WHO will actually benifit (sp?) from the Health Care proposals. (Big Drug Companies, AARP, SEIU . . . ) I am ok with health care reform, just not for GOVERNMENT controlled heath care. Can you say SOCIALISM? Anyways, let me explain the math, just to be clear. 10% of americans men die of prostate cancer (actually if diagnosed with in the last 5 years it is close to 0%) (Health care has improved that much for us - not for UK - no change in last 5 years) Anyways, if 10% survival rate increases by 604% - the word BY means to multiply in math. Meaning that 60.4% die in UK. And his statistics are correct. I Googled Both US & UK prostate cancer statistics and read. (just a page each) Here are the highlights:

FOR THE US:

"About 1 man in 6 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. "

If you were diagnosed with in the last 5 years survival rate is nearly 100%

Diagnosed with in the last 10 years it's 91%

FOR THE UK:

"Around 7 in 10 newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients now survive beyond five years. In the 1970s it was only 3 in 10."

"Prostate cancer death rates have not changed significantly in the last ten years, unlike incidence."

So what that means is #1 Glenn Beck's numbers are correct #2 The US has gotten better at treating Prostate cancer - the UK by the last line above (from it's own website) has not. (At least they have since 1970) :)

Not to put the UK down - but just to show WE DON'T WANT GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE.

Your wallet can't afford it (unless you are a government dependent lazy bumb anyaways)

Your Health can't afford it either.

The longer version (it is long) is
