as good as Austin is, he was not even in the same ballpark as Roddy Piper. For example, Austin drank beer, gave people the finger 1/2

This tag team buried alive is probably one of the greatest fights in WWF history.

Never understood the idea behind WWE. A TV show where people pretend to punch each other. And there are even champions of pretending.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 29

Because its entertaining?

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

the outcomes are scripted yes, but how do you fake gravity?

4 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

Punching is illegal in wrestling. There is no closed fist hitting

I've never really understood movies. Something where people pretend to be someone they aren't for the entertainment of others... madness!

Oh right, the usual absurd argument. Just grow up and watch UFC instead. It's like watching "American Idol" with people pretending to sing.

Don't worry, that's how normal people view low IQ rednecks watching WWE. Sorry, but I don't care enough to give you angry reply. Bye.

That's because you look at it like a sport. Sure its athletic.But think of it more like a saop opera, in spandex and stunts, lots of stunts.

And I don't understand people watching soap opera either. I know that there is a demand for low IQ tv shows, I just don't understand Y bothe

That's a pretty snobby outlook. It's just entertainment. You don't need to understand it. Some people have foot fetishes.

To be fair, they are not taxis. I mean, you can use them as one, but youll piss off paramedics and pay out the nose for it

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It is a taxi if you are paying for transportation to the desired location.

Take one across town or just down the road the price is still ungodly. 12 to 40 thousand for a helicopter.

I've stopped snowboarding because of it. Took a bad fall a few years ago, thought I broke my back...one $1500 14 minute ride in an ambulance

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Later and ~4hours in the hospital. Turns out it was just a really deep bruise, and I was lucky as fuck that nothing broke. So long $1500

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(Thankfully my shitty insurance covered the time spent in the hospital, I only had to pay like $80 out of pocket. But not the ambulance)

It's another one of those fallacious arguments. Like Reagan's ole Welfare Queen fairy tale.

When you've been so utterly bamboozled by propaganda you say perfectly insanely stupid shit like "ambulance isn't your taxi to the hospital"

4 years ago | Likes 102 Dislikes 1

He's *technically* correct. Ambulances aren't taxis, but for emergencies. But people aren't using them when they need them because of costs.

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

So he completely misses the damn point with his glib remark.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ambulance work is at least half glorified taxi work, and the rest a messy nightmare

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ambulances being abused for a taxi is just that: abusing the system. But rather that than the alternative the US is "enjoying."

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They get "abused" that way in the US too, often by the very homeless or very middle class. (Source: am EMS)

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It isn’t your taxi. Ambulances take much too direct of routes to be taxis.

4 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 1

Wait a moment ... your Taxis don't take the shortest/fastest route to the destination?

4 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Not in the states, because they charge over distance.

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

Taxis where I've lived all charge by time, not distance

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Absolutely not. They charge based on distance. So they'll take the longest, most serpentine route possible to maximize profit.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

The only way they'll take the shortest, most direct route is if you catch them going out of the way and call them out.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I get what you are saying. But we have idiots here who might call it when they had something routine or non-emergency at the hospital 1/2

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

There's often reason for using an ambulance for non- emergency transport, and people will always call for dumb reasons, shouldn't cost $1k.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That might be better than the current system, I don’t know. 2/2

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Just a heads up, I argued once that the ambulance isn't meant to ferry people to appointments and got downvoted, so. Good luck.

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

It still would, though, cause it doesnt do anything else. Its just not when you're supposed to use the krankenwagen.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I mean, they're definitely only meant for when you can't just get there yourself or immediate emergencies...

That pretty well describes my view of taxis.

That's my thoughts exactly, you should be paying your taxi fair.

Then, when you get run over but don’t have a few $k to spare: “well, better crawl to the hospital. Wish my bone wasn’t sticking out my leg.”

The ambulance situation in Australia is pretty good, but you should still be paying for your taxi

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The point is that people have called a cab instead of 911 while bleeding out or giving birth because they couldn't afford an ambulance.

4 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

And while that's clearly wrong, the rest of the world is fighting that some people get an ambulance when they just have a broken arm

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 3

Idk what side your on but my recommendation is you do not drive with a broken arm.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't know why you think a broken arm is life threatening. Get a taxi.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Or some other ailment that clearly could go on a taxi... Which is why Americans pushing this is pushed back against by others.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Yeah, it's not a binary kind of issue. And there are a small number of super-users when it may or may not be advisable.
