You think you pay for it now, and you think you will pay for it when the reform is in place? You can take your hero the Dope-Fiend Limbaugh and lay prostrate at his feet and hope that will substitute well for your own contemplative thought, but I assure you it wont. Come the revolution Linda were going to your house first.

I hope your 2 children get good and serious drug habits and they break your heart. God what would you do then? Has nothing bad ever happend to you? I dont and have never blamed my hellish life on anyone but myself. And seriously, is it that you are just jelous that you cant get high or what? Sure sounds like it. You would love to just lay around and get high all day having fun not paying your bills if you only could, but you are a responsible mother of two and would never do anything like that. BTW is that really what your dumb suburban ass thinks drug addicts do? Lounge about all day, living the life of Riley, laughing about how we trick good hard working responsible kind caring people such as yourself into paying for our drugs, by way of catastrophic illness? Do you think all pimps are black and look like suprefly? I sure do see why you are a more important person than me and why I have to die and not you. You have all the depth and complexity of a puddle on a dry day. Hope it dont rain.

I know who you are, by way of the miserably small mindedness you exhibit in your comments. I am a loser junkie and I have more class, couth, decency and heart then you have ever known. If a man is what his words are, then I suggest someone teach you some first. You have the vocabulary of a small child. I am especially impressed when your thought process leads you from IAM A GOOD AND BETTER THEN THAT PERSON to conclusion THAT PERSON I DONT EVEN KNOW SHOULD DIE. I can tell you are breathing and can cogitate, but so did Hitler. You know what else Hitler did? He killed himself. I am dropping hints LKS. Can you take a hint?

I pitty people who regurgitate the simple-minded platitudes of Papa Bill O'really, But you do it well. I am sure you think you come across as a pillar of goodly motivated moral outrage, however, in truth you just reveal yourself to be a scared simpleminded suburbanite, too much of a prude, overweight and with bad hair. I hope you feel sad today and suicide crosses your "wideopen" mind.

Harm reduction is a philosophy aimed at saving money and lives why on god’s green earth would your liberal Artsy-fartsy self be offended by that?

That’s Kim McCarthy? The so called artist? Sweetheart I doubt the veracity of your either being an artist or Urban. Your logic is absolutely irrational and pathetic. I know your lockjaw hurts, so why on earth would you be upset with me? You should be upset with the criminals who deny you the medical help you so desperately need. I know that it hurts and I truly do hope you find help soon. I know that contrary to your assertion, I don’t get “free healthcare” for being a drug addict and neither would you. If your TMJ is so bad as to be emergent, then I guarantee you would get the same healthcare I received. You are a liar if you are anything. Working Class? What work? UrbanSoule?

WoodsWalker: Your suggestion that I don’t have health insurance was in fact right on the money (I don’t think you clever enough to see what I did there, so I will bring it to your attention, “no health care, money” Ha. anyways). Your 4,214 comments, some so stupid I won’t embarrass you by quoting them, make me believe you are a fan of that junkie Rush Limbaugh. In fact much of the sentiment expressed is the rhetoric of the dope-fiend Limbaugh. My first contact with the Law over my opiate addiction was a Felony. Fatuous, obnoxiously loud and being a complete blackguard is no way to go thru life dude. Excellent grammar btw, I can see why you feel you are entitled to think yourself better than me Sat, 17 Mar 2012 08:06:26 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/129806903.html#IDComment318161266 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/129806903.html#IDComment318120654 Trust me, if you take most of your logic to its natural conclusion you will invariably end up with a sentence like this: “drug addicts should simply be taken out back of the court house and shot”. Why? Know you of such a service? I have wanted to die so many times because of my habit on so many occasions that you simply cannot offend me with your admonishment I do it instead of receiving medical care. 2 of us got Wound Botulism in September 2011. I am the male, I am fairly sure the female died. I certainly do hope not and if she ever sees this, I could really use a friend and I would be happy to talk with you. We were both of your community, like it or not. We are Americans. We are from Seattle, the city you live in. We went to the same High schools as you. I am so sorry that my existence is such an inconvenience for you that it demanded you tell me that you hope I die and die cheaply.

Applied sociolinguistic analysis would show your IQ point deficiency to require urgent care. I sure hope your policy covers stupid. I cannot believe what some of you people say. It in fact boggles the mind that you probably consider yourself nice good-folk whose sense of decency has somehow been offended by my 46 days in the ICU. It has cost $239,000. So far. Of course I can’t pay $239,000 dollars to UWMC and neither could you. When your ski trip to Whistler ends in a quarter million dollars of arthroscopic surgery and artificial parts, you don’t pay for it either. It is spread out amongst many so we can all live reasonably comfortable lives. How dare you go skiing? How dare you drive? Why should I help pay for your traumatic injuries from your car accident. I don’t drive. I know most of you are just lonely people, shut-ins who spend their days trolling this website. I don’t really bare you any ill-will for you wishing, hoping I die.

PE teachers Whort ur widdle husband? I hope he solves the issue with a good and vicious smack habit. Think Gene Hackman in the French Connection. Self-righteous, Indignant and voting republican is no way to show how classy you are.

That’s the screen-name you’re going with? Tab for a hospital bill? Is that how you do it? You work real hard then when catastrophic illness or injury occurs, you whip out your wallet? No idiot-child. You don’t, because people get together from the same socio-economic means and share the burden, Right? That’s what managed employer-covered care is, isn’t it? No-body “pays” for it out of pocket? BTW Gutless Punk, I’ve read your 709 comments here. How the hell do you have time to work? I did have a job you self-absorbed, petty person. It was the only job I could get in this economy. It was only 24 hours a week and it came with no healthcare coverage. Surprise, Surprise Surprise. I was a good worker who accomplished much more than my co-workers even though I was strung-out again.

I insist on addressing each and every one of you who's shallow understanding of healthcare, federal law and human decency is not as sophisticated as our times demand. I will go ahead and confirm some things for you so there is some common ground for our argument. First, yep I am a heroin addict, I have been one on and off for 17 years now. It is the bane of my existence and I have heaped misery upon myself in ways too disturbing to discuss openly.

I certainly know where I was 26 weeks ago and apparently some of you, by virtue of your disgusting comments were in some repugnant set of circumstances where you thought wishing me my death and a broadband internet connection went well together. I would just like to remind you first, that a lack of empathy towards your fellow humans is a copiously confirmed sign of psychopathy and I encourage you to seek help, perhaps through some sort of health care system. If your small minds haven’t figured it out yet, I am in fact the man who was diagnosed w/ Wound Botulism back in September.

The Metro website as well as festooned on more buses than I care to count, is the promise that if I stay in touch through email alerts etc, that up to date accurate information about inclimate weather will be provided. Most of it is inaccurate and only proves to exacerbate the problem. Bad info CAN be worse than none at all. Get your act together. More nifty technology that is nothing more than useless bells and whistles. Tue, 23 Nov 2010 21:37:25 +0000 http://northseattle.komonews.com/content/arctic-bus#IDComment111533862
