Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Health insurance and the value of life?

by ~LightAngelSky, Mar 30, 2010, 5:20:41 AM
Journals / Personal

Today I talked to a dear friend, who is like a brother to me and I was shocked as he told be about him having ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) - for those who don´t know what that means: He has a hole in his heart which can be lethal!
I asked him, why he isn´t undergoing a surgery to fix it and he answered it´s too expensive, like $300.000, and he has no full health insurance nor the money to pay for it.
WTF?!?!
Even that patients aren´t treated properly (IF they´re lucky to be treatened) when they´re going to the hospital as an EMERGENCY!
In Germany they would be SUED because of non-assistance of a person in danger!
HELLO?!?!?!?!
Aren´t doctors over there having the slightest bit of HONOR? They´re DOCTORS for Gods sake! To HELP people not drooling for their money!
And who thought of that sick medical system allowing only rich people to stay really healthy?
Health shouldn´t be just a privilege to rich people, it should be open to EVERYONE!

Graaa, that makes me SICK and I wish more than ever to be RICH to pay this for him! *runs around and punshes the wall on the other side of the room*

~Katsumii Mar 31, 2010 Student Filmographer

ASD? That's sure a thing. Too bad, I feel sorry for your friend. Is it developing right now or is it an all-life charge? I had ASD and now I'm the proud owner of a scar on my chest because of surgery (looks like Frankenstein's n_n lol). I consider it rare to not stop it at time. I mean...if this was detected time ago,I find it weird they didn't do a thing. I'm talking about much time anyway. If this is developing now,then...well. It's not mortal if you catch it in time and else. In fact...I find really weird your health system is that way. I always thought things there were more 'fair', or something like that. That everybody had a place, specially in this kind of matter.
There should be something to do about it anyway

I don't think you are all lost. Are you sure your friend can't go to some kind of wait-list nor ask some org. for help? Maybe the insurance can help in any way in the end or cover just a part of the surgery. Not much,but still...something.

Hope your friend gets well soon. Give him a hug for me

and tell him to laugh that if he happen to be in a surgery room, a scar on the chest is not the end of the world XDXD (Just people asking what's that XD)

Kisses!

If i remember correctly he was diagnosed when he was 11. he´s 23 now. the doctor told him once he can be lucky reaching the 30s.
in germany it is like that, but my friend lives in america and when you lack the money no one´s helping you. it seems like the life of poor people is worth nothing there.

you had ASD, too? i´m glad you´re ok now >___<

~Bianca-Jo Mar 31, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

It's the same with me, in a sense. This past November, I got really sick. Many doctors refuse to see you if you have no insurance--even if you have cash, they won't even look at you if you have no insurance. I was ill for about a month before I finally started feeling better.

It really isn't fair that things here have to be that way (I live in the United States). And even if you have insurance here, they will ONLY cover a certain portion of your expenses, and you are left to pay for the rest.

~LightAngelSky Apr 1, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

i talked about ryan there, poor him .___.
i would love to shoot the people i charge for this mess. seems like the life of poor people is worth nothing in the US -.-

~Sunlight-Angel Mar 31, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Wie bitte??? Das kann doch wohl nicht wahr sein!!! Jeder hat das Recht darauf zu leben!!!

~LightAngelSky Apr 1, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

das is krank, oder?
typisch ami-land, das... manno, mir fällt die deutsche übersetzung net ein XD''' *zu viel english redet und hört in letzter zeit*... ah, jetzt - gesundheitssystem XD''' - da hat total die macke, leutz, die kein geld haben sind wertlos wie mir scheint o_O

btw, wann seh ich dich mal wieder >____<

~Sunlight-Angel Apr 4, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Was? Auch noch Ami-land? Also wirklich? Von wegen Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten...
XD du redest und liest grad zu viel Englisch? Bei mir ist das grad umgekehrt. Mein Englisch ist total eingerostet, weil ich kaum dazu kam es zu nutzen.

Hm, keine Ahnung. Ich war jetzt letzte Woche in Freiburg, dann in Bayern, diese Woche bin ich bei Freunden und nächstes WE im Musical XDDD Wann hast du denn Zeit?

~LightAngelSky Apr 5, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

wennde bonze bist trifft das "unbegrenzte möglichkeiten" da vllt zu, aba net für die normalos... is ja wie überall auch, wennde kohle hast, liegt dir die welt zu füßen *drop*

und wie, ich guck auch voll viel in englisch an zur zeit, bn voll auf den geschmack gekommen, das is geil XDDD

~KBStudio Mar 30, 2010

I hatehatehatehate the American medical system, although I'm not sure that's where your friend is. It just sounded like it. =/

~LightAngelSky Apr 1, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist
