Why can’t animals talk?

I have noticed that United Healthcare and other health insurance companies are being sued. I think it is a class action lawsuit. They are being investigated for fraud. These insurance companies seem to be corrupt. That would explain why health insurance costs so much.

With all due respect, companies are sued daily. This is nothing new, not newsworthy

Did you write that yourself or did you copy and paste it?

It is odd that you should use medicare as an example. Medicare costs about 14% of all federal spending. Hardly something to brag about. And I thought you had a problem with medicare for all. That is what Bernie Sanders wanted.

If you think medicare is so great why not support medicare for all?
Socialism for the old, capitalism for the young?

Why mistake my polity. Medicare for all would be a dream, a great program. I would like to be on the board to guide the way that it would be paid for.
Why won’t you make my job easy and tell me right now? Are you think it would be paid for.
And could you answer the question that I pose to you that you are responding to?

@AverageJoe1 said
Are you saying the government administers Medicare, or are you saying the government owns and operates the healthcare facilities where Medicare patients receive treatment?"

Which is it?

Huh? Medicare is government. No need to complicate it.

I have a question for those of you who have been so critical of me since the election.
Last week, I suddenly became woozy, felt sick, and started breaking out in a sweat. I walked into a hospital and received wonderful care. I had doctors and nurses looking after me, received an X-ray and two CT scans, had my medications and healthcare needs taken care of, and spent seve ...[text shortened]... d PERSONAL CHOICE????? Do you Really want govt in charge? Just who is that stranger cutting on me?

Dude, everyone’s been critical of you since you first posted here. Don’t flatter yourself.

Good that you were well taken care of though.

You are an animal, you talk, I am an animal, I talk, certain species other than human beans have fairly sophisticated language, so they talk too.

In any case there are similarities between parrots and humans; some humans have been heard to say 'The Iran war was a good idea, the Iran war was a good idea' because they have heard another human being say this.

Animals do communicate using various kinds of signs, both body language and utterances. There are tribes of monkeys, for example, which have different alarm signals, depending on what sort of threat is in the vicinity: the alarm signal for eagle elicits a response which is different from the alarm signal for cheetah. Researchers recorded these different calls and played them to other tribes of the same species of monkey which lived in different regions, and the same responses were observed. However, one particular tribe of monkeys lived in the vicinity of human habitations, and there was a different kind of threat, namely man with dog. This particular tribe of monkeys had evolved a different alarm signal for that particular threat, and when this alarm signal was played to tribes of monkeys which were not exposed to this threat, it elicited no response.

There’s actually quite a lot of research that’s been done to figure out why animals lack the ability for speech and most scientists seem to agree that it has to do with hahaha you lost the midterms you dumb idiot!

Thanks.
It goes without question that the liberal faction takes exception to the ideas and force that I put for. That is why we have the forum. It is for fun. I think that we should have closed borders for a country (for it to even be a country) and some of you think that we should not even have borders, so the person that thinks we should not have borders takes exception to average Joe. So why would you even bother saying that?
And I can respond to your comment by saying it is sickening that we have to read the profanity that you post on the forum. “ everyone is critical of you.”.

Maybe if they didn't F up and actually served their customers, maybe they wouldn't be (sued daily).

Not necessarily. Some suits are considered frivolous, and thrown out. And some people like Magione decide on their own that an insurance company is bad as it covers claims left and right, and shoots its CEO… Murders him. When he could’ve filed a lawsuit.
I could sue you for anything . It would be thrown out.

Hey, did you see where Shavmit offended me by saying that people are critical of me on the forum. For whatever their reasons. I’m sorry that I had to nail him and say that is nothing compared to how critical we are of his profanity.

The forum is a dangerous place.

Are you enjoying that wonderful fuzzy feeling of the government wrapping its arms around you?

My profanity is an exaggeration; a form of poetry, if you will.

Extreme right-wing ideology is full of fear and hatred. It’s disgusting.

The anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-non-white rhetoric is 1930’s claptrap.

That’s probably why.

While I have you and your wasted insipid banale comments, could you tell us why the Republicans did not start riots after the election and burned down the pharmacies and the businesses, and ruined the lives of people. Slime dependent socialists, like the dependent Dutch and the French ,would have done that very thing if the Democrats had lost. Fear and hatred you thrive on.
Start over, little feller. note that we have been going on about our business. Actually, there is money to be made.
Why don’t you lie, and tell us that you would have not burned down businesses and started riots????

So you had a supplimental plan also because Medicare pays 80% Not 100%.

REPUBLICANS did not cause riots after the election your lord and master TRUMP started that riot we call insurrection on Jan 6, I guess you thought we would forget that atrocity caused ONE HUNDRED PERCENT BY TRUMP.

Trump is not through with his dirty work to eleiminate votes and he WILL be doing more of his dirty work in the next few months. First to get impeached though looks like it will be Hegseth but not a second too soon.

He has just about RUINED our military just as he did in his own leadership of two right wing military organizations he ran into the ground, nearly bankrupting two separate organizations with wild company spending on booze, drugs and sex parties.
THAT dude needs to go and fast,

all his crap purging top generals because they critizised him or Trump and firing women because they were women and firing blacks because they were black. A sad day for the military I spent 4 years in.
