    You went out of your way just to tell everyone that you think former drug addicts aren’t deserving of medical care? Not even people who currently do drugs (who are also all 100% deserving of medical treatment btw), anyone who used to do drugs is disqualified, too? It’s an absolutely insane take to say “they used to do drugs, so they don’t deserve to have teeth.” And what of all those people who didn’t do drugs, but still need and can’t afford dentures or implants? If you can’t afford reliable access to dental care from the start, you’ll likely be stuck with preventable problems down the line that then become even more expensive to fix. The situations of these people aren’t different from former addicts in any meaningful way; they need dental work, but can’t afford it. You’re ignoring the core issue that important and completely necessary dental work (and medical treatment of all kinds) is too expensive for almost everyone, not just current or former addicts. As a result, many are forced to go without that treatment. That’s a bad thing. You saw someone complaining that dental work is unaffordable, and all you could think to say was “Yeah, but they’re druggies, so there’s no problem here.” You’ve justified a terrible system to yourself because you view the people who were quoted as being beneath you. What’s truly dystopian is both that medical care would be out of reach of so many, but also that people would be ok with that as long as it means the “undesirables” don’t get to have any. The societal disdain for marginalized human life and the moral superiority complex that fuels it are both absolutely appalling.

      yeah, no. i said that not receiving it for free is not a dystopia.

      and i didn’t really go out of my way… as someone who’s emotional outburst would make 10 paragraphs, if its author knew how to correctly break the text into them 😆.

        It’s hard to take this seriously coming from the guy who can’t even go 2 sentences without a paragraph break. My points still stand.

          so, comment of your inability to use paragraphs is invalid, because… i can use them?

          you should keep this template, it is hilarious.

          • “your math doesn’t work out”
          • “it hard to take that seriously from someone who can actually count”

          😂

          My points still stand

          is the point you are a clown? i agree. i won’t be replying to you further.

            Lmaooo what a pathetic response. If you’d ever pick up anything more advanced than a coloring book, you’d know paragraphs can be longer than 4 sentences. In any case, a single sentence is never a paragraph, so you obviously don’t know how to use paragraph breaks. You’ve shown once more that you’re completely unable to string two sentences together. Quoting me for things I didn’t say won’t help you, either. Also, you’re still a monster with dogshit opinions and you’re very conspicuously trying to steer the conversation away from that fact.

            is the point you are a clown? i agree

            You argue like a 10 year old lmao. That’s the best you could come up with?
