    Interesting, thanks for the Canadian history lesson Perhaps that’s where the Americans got their weird terminology from.

    you guys need to clear that up

    Who needs to do what? I’m not sure what I said that somehow gave you the impression I was an American.

    My society pays for universal free healthcare, like everywhere in the civilized world.


  • Pretty sure no one with universal healthcare calls it “socialized medicine”. That’s just a buzzword Americans use to scare each other.

    It’s not a means of producing anything other than health. Health is seen as a human right and it makes sense even in most western capitalist countries for it to be extended to everyone.


  • Put it this way. No one in their right mind would have their healthy teeth pulled out without anaesthetic and sell them, if they had any real choice.

    We know that he “bought” teeth from slaves, and that he was a slave owner, we also know that he had dentures made of other people’s teeth. No one knows for sure that the teeth he took were for his own use or from the people he enslaved himself, but it seems probable. More info here.
