    Hehe, Adam, I like you man, but you sure seem to get wood any time anyone in the states does something incompetent or stupid. Dude, look around you.. it's the whole fucking world man. Everyone has their own agenda and they're promoting it. It's fucking amazing we don't die just walking out the door dude.

    Adam, bro... please for once in your damn life (and maybe I only see this side of you, so pardon) look on the fucking bright side! Hehe, at least they didn't plug up her vagina or remove her spine or something. Sorry, I'm kind of a sick bastard.

    Australia's Royal Perth Hospital pays $3.6 million

    "Royal Perth Hospital has been ordered to pay $3.6 million in a payout to a woman who suffered a brain haemorrhage.

    Adele Sixsmith went to her doctor with an intense headache. Her doctor immediately sent her in an ambulance to RPH for a CT scan. But the hospital didn't do the scan and sent her home after a few hours with some pain killers.

    Six days later Adele suffered a brain haemorrhage which detached her retinas and left her severly disabled.

    RPH has admitted negligence for the misdiagnosis and agreed to an out of court settlement. Glyn Palmer, chief executive of RPH, says Adele's disability was the result of a tragic error and deeply regrettable."

    Actually I post about any country that makes the news. This happened to be on the news website this time when I looked. The fact that you get all defensive about it indicates a denial mechanism regarding your own feelings about the USA.

    I say "plugged up vagina" and this is all you say in response. I'm hurt. I don't say "plugged up vagina" for just anyone Adam. *sigh*

    Okay, I'll leave you to your half empty damn glass.

    I think you do more than just post the news when it concerns the US. Hey, that's your right, but at least have the stones to admit it.

    1) Go read through the news website where the story is from. A great many stories are about the USA. I post stories about many things.

    2) Back up your words, or you're just pissing in the wind.
