Don’t forget that majority of the commenters on this platform live in a country that views suffering in pain from incurable disease as a “god intended way” (and a horse dose of morphine). Take it with a grain of salt.
- ImPostingOnHN 10mo agoSetting aside that you're factually incorrect, this sort of negative stereotyping of others based on their nationality (or ethnicity, or race) is inappropriate, especially on this forum. We don't need more bigotry here.
- DangitBobby 10mo agoIt's incorrect to notice that citizens of nations have commonly shared cultural beliefs and that affects their individual and aggregate behaviors in predictable ways? Interesting.
- ImPostingOnHN 10mo agoYou're just saying "negative stereotyping of others based on their nationality (or ethnicity, or race)" with more words. And yes, it is factually incorrect to say "the commenters on this platform live in a country that views suffering in pain from incurable disease as a “god intended way", because: 1. A country is not a creature and thus cannot have views, and 2. The views of people in the USA are diverse, not unanimous, and include both the view you cited, and the exact opposite view, just like the views of people in every other country.
- carlosjobim 10mo agoWhat specific country are you talking about? I've had people close to me suffer health problems for years waiting for treatment because they worshipped the government healthcare system and government doctors so much that they refused to seek any help outside it. Problem is, small and solvable health problems become incurable if you don't fix them in time.
