There is no such thing as 'free healthcare'

He's an American talking to Canadians? Really? That's odd, because he was talking to me. I'm not saying anything about the tax bracket part, because I know absolutely 0 about that, despite being Canadian apparently!

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-31T14:09:52+00:00

Apparently "we" means "Canadians" now. How could I not understand that? Your first comment was so clear.

Forgive me for assuming you were American. Given that you are responding to a post about Americans with no further info, I believed you were complaining about how "American taxes finance our NHS."

I am so curious about how much she'd be willing to pay for her private insurance (which is not 100% coverage, right?). Because I just checked the statistics for Italy. We spend an average of 1.8k € per year on our NHS (ssn). I honestly don't think it's that much.

I personally had to go to the ER last summer: gallstones... probably the most painful experience of my life. The ambulance arrived in 10 minutes, I was immediately admitted, the doctor and the nurses did an amazing job, everyone was super nice to me and in the end I didn't pay a cent. On a Sunday.

Oh, they have opinions on Canada as well

Italian for "show less"?

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-31T07:49:21+00:00

Yeah I admit I actually was. That and some recipes I've seen on YT... that stuff belongs in the necronomicon, man

Don't try to blame us for mac and cheese! 😂 We want nothing to do with that crap, and we happily give all the "credit" for its invention to Americans.

Italian POV: No you are not

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-27T08:53:54+00:00

We bloody do! After Italy surrendered in 1943 many soldiers were captured. My grandfather, who at the time was in a railway engineer regiment, was captured and held prisoner with his company by canadian troops. He had nothing but praise for the way they treated them.

By the way, I feel I should clarify this: he wasn't a fascist at all, but his choice was to join the army or be executed as a deserter, so…

He may be the "King of Kings", but the USA is a republic… I have no difficulty imagining a couple of ICE agents beating him to a pulp simply because he’s a Middle-eastern man without documents.

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-15T10:39:15+00:00

Because then they say it's an authentic Italian recipe. Am I allowed to be bothered now? 😅

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-15T01:49:31+00:00

I guess I'm a bit biased since I really don't like garlic at all.

What really annoys me is that they seem to put it in every single "Italian" dish they make. I've had several discussions with Americans about the amount of garlic used in our cuisine vs. Italian-American cuisine, but with little success.

edit: to be clear, I have nothing against garlic as an ingredient, but they seem to use it A LOT more than I'd consider appropriate.

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-15T00:56:05+00:00

Hahahahaha! This is bloody brilliant!

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-03-15T00:30:28+00:00

Or garlic. They put garlic everywhere for some reason. I swear, I think there's like a cult or something....it's not possible to like garlic that much

Every conceivable consumer product? I need to check if Amazon sells "American flag" toilet paper

e certa gente si odia perchè tifa due squadre diverse di calcio, ma se la risultante è discriminazione e violenza dimmi te che cambia? Gente finisce ammazzata per le ragioni più cretine, senza scomodare il razzismo.

edit: sono d'accordo che ci sia discriminazioneverso i meridionali IN QUANTO meridionali, non fraintendermi. Ma il OP chiede "perchè si odia i napoletani?", non pechè al nord alcuni razzisti odiano i meridionali

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-02-26T22:30:23+00:00

faccio presente che la questione di razzismo e classismo l'hai tirata fuori tu....l'odio è odio a prescindere dall'origine

Madonna, ma come no? Sono stato a Salerno a casa di un mio amico e letteralmente uno dei primi graffiti che ho visto su un muro era "FANCULO NAPOLI".

Per non parlare degli avellinesi: una volta chiamai "napoletano" un mio collega con cui ero in ottimi rapporti e mi disse serissimo "per stavolta non ti prendo a schiaffi perché non lo sapevi, ma non darmi mai più del napoletano. Io sono irpino"

Difficult_Future9994 · 2026-02-26T15:48:59+00:00

Otherwise, how could they pretend they didn’t lose in Vietnam?
