    Health Insurance!!! I can't even get started cause I'll never stop. My husband and I pay more in healthcare per month than our rent is and we still don't get the coverage we need. One of my husbands medications, which is required to keep him out of a coma and surely followed by death, is not covered and there is absolutely no other drug on the market that works in the same way. The drug is $1,500 per month, that would be over and above the $1,300 per month we're already paying. We filed grievances and etc etc etc. We exhausted every possible avenue and finally had to start getting it in Canada which is still $150 per month. I can't imagine what we would be paying if we had children! I could go on and on and on with examples, however I've already ranted too much. Sorry and thanks for letting me vent.

    I'm an Aussie, so when I learned about the US healthcare system I was amazed. It's a joke

    I'm Canadian and feel the same way lol

    Ahh the fact that working individuals are constantly penalized while the lazy people taking advantage of social programs continue to get more and more free crap all the time. :) Also people the fraud, waste and abuse in social programs.

    agreed

    YES! I remember when I worked at the bank. Not a hard job, but a job nonetheless, 40 hrs a week on my feet in uncomfortable shoes/clothes. (strict dress code) and having to dole out 3 and 4 times my monthly salary at one time to perfectly healthy and capable yet unemployed woman who get angry if they have to wait more than 3 minutes in line. Excuse me, If I could get that much money for doing nothing, I'd wait for an hour +with a smile. Another got a separate check for each of her kids. She bragged about purposefully having each once deemed mentally challenged just for the extra money. Nauseating

    More:
    Those Sarah Mclaughlin animal commercials. No that dog is NOT wondering if he will be hit tonight. NO that cat is NOT wondering when it will eat again. Animals don't reason people.. With that said I am against animal cruelity of any kind and am a pet parent but those stupid dag on commercials make me want to throw something at the TV.

    People who want the results yesterday but wont change their lifestyle to get results. They will do atkins, or south beach or the body wrap, or the latest Dr. Oz scam but won't put the fork down and move.

    No muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. 5pounds is 5 pounds. It just takes up less space.

    My husband would be in a coma and eventually die if it weren't for Canada. There is absolutely no way we could pay $1,500 per month for one medication on top of the $1,300 we pay for healthcare. I love Canada :)

    The erosion of common courtesy is a hot button topic for me.

    I enjoy discussing religion and politics......there is a difference between having a debate and conducting an emotionally charged, irrational shouting match without evidence to substantiate claims on either side.

    Simple.....never discuss either with friends/family or someone is getting cut out of the will.
    ^This. And the same applies to MFPeeps except replace "will" with "FL".

    Mental illness! Several in my life have made the comment to me "what the heck do you have to be depressed about?" and" if you had the Lord in your life then you wouldnt have to be on all those high powered medications." It really aggravates me because I didnt ask to be this way and it burns me up when they make comments like this!

    Religion

    Teachers calling themselves "co-parents"
    (I'm pissed off just thinking about that last one)

    Okay so if your not a teacher there is no way that you can know whether it is true that the teacher is a co-paeant. Fact is I'm a teacher (in Denmark) and fact is that we do many of the parents's jobs like talking to them about what is happening in their lives and teaching them how they should be treated in different kinds of relationships and sex-education, which most parents do none of at all, I have had to make sure that the kids got something to eat and that they were well rested and that they had done their homework (the children's parents should want their kids to do their homework and make sure of it since they should want them to be educated and do well) I have had to deal with a kid that got absolutely no attention from home so he would spend every minute trying to get my attention and the parent just didn't want to deal with. Teachers has to be our students trusties -have you ever had a kid come to you (or noticed because you pay attention) who is starving and cutting themselves and the parents has no clue at all.

    In Denmark we are fighting the government at the moment because they want the teachers and students to be in school from 8am to 4pm every monday through friday from grades 1-13.

    That means the student will spend their whole day in school sitting having to focus then they will just go home watch tv, eat dinner and watch some more tv then bed and repeat.

    Great family life, so who do you think will be them ones teaching the kids how to interact with other and to be a part of society. Who do you think will become the primary caregivers when all their wake hours has to be spent with the teacher and they just have to recharge to 2-4 hours they have at home to do homework, relax, eat, shower, do after school activities and play and so on.
