You sound so much more rational and intelligent when discussing
poker. It's like you are completely different person than the
ranting, grade school insult-chucking fool we see discussing
politics. I am 100% sincere when I say this Beldin, if you took this
attitude, this tone and applied it to other topics you would gain
far more respect for your opinions.
Why bring your condescending attitude and tone to what was a quite
interesting and informative series of posts?

(Sincerely, if you would stop this attitude, this tone and just lost
it somewhere in a closet or someplace, we could all be quite pleased
with your comments.)
Whatever you're getting all tilty about here, its your problem, not
mine.

You surely don't disagree... I absolutely do not recognize him as the
same person from this thread and the other ones, do you?
That's because you're listening, not lecturing, and you understand that
this is fact.
Nothing of the kind, the difference is in this instance you are giving a
reasoned opinion about something, in the health debate you are raging
out of control because someone does not accept your point of view.

Dutch, I'm not giving an opinion OF ANY KIND here.
The definition of 'fold equity' is a matter of FACT, not opinion.

You can surely disagree with what the fold equity of a certain situation
IS, but that doesn't change the definition of the term.


You don't understand the facts about socialized medicine, and it gets
in the way of your opinions that universal care is better than best
advancing care.
You're confusing your opinions with facts.

No

Yes, you are. You have assembled some facts and ideas in your head about
health care systems and you have discarded other facts and ideas. The
reason behind your choice of facts appears to be self-interest, which is
not necessarily a bad thing. However this process is known as "forming an
opinion". As long as you try to pretend that it's something else,
something 'objective', you will continue to make yourself look stupid.

No, dutchie, I'm stating facts.
The FACTS are, government regulated pricing eliminates innovation by
reducing sharply incentive for R&D.
That's not in dispute by any rational adult, history is far too clear on
this.
