I am from Germany (it was relevant a few posts ago).
Yo can call me a fuckin leftist if you want, but Germany is spending most of its money on the Bundeswehr, too. Much more than on health-care if I can believe the statistics I got, when I asked for them at the Finanzamt. It's been a while, so I can be wrong.
Smokers cost a lot of money. But it remains legal (even though smokers are getting cornered increasingly these days) because they also make a lot of money for poppa federal budget.
See, that's where they pay for their treatment.
I don't smoke and I don't like smoking, but I don't agree with you.
But the things that cause their lower lifespans (diabetes, heart disease, cancer) are damn expensive while they're still alive.
Well, not so long, that they come to the costs of people who are living healthy lifes, appeareantly.
@topic:
I don't see her point. Faye is not fat and most people I know are skinny and not Faye-like. And most of them are complaining about their figure, so this is just something nearly every girl seems to do (and I compliment every girl, who doesn't).
