Over on Facebook, I make two paragraph arguments. Sometimes they lead to real discussion, most of the time I'm talking out the side of my neck, like everyone else. But as usual, I tend to use rather precise language. I'm a programmer, sue me.
In one of those passing skirmishes, someone mentioned that Europe (rightly) embraces health care insurance. So I added the following simple comment.
I have health care insurance.
You know how to say this in an argument, as if it were no big deal. *I* have health care insurance, so what's the problem? Your adversary Obamacrat will sneer, well of course you do, you're part of the ruling class. The point is that everybody doesn't have affordable health care insurance.
You may then calmly remind them that the sentiment they just expressed is precisely why we call them Socialist. While you're at it see if you can keep them away from the suggestion that humans have a right to be healthy, or failing that, at least get them to donate blood.
