All we have to do is to work without being paid and you won't have to pay for anything

What if I don't want to work. do I still get everything for free?

Because if so, hell yeah baby I'ma have a good time, chillin on your dime.

'cept you ain't got no dime, cause ain't got money.

Oh well. I guess you'll have to do twice the work while I'ma go jet-skiing.

For free, of course!

If you don't work it is proven that you'll be sick, unhappy, and go to hospital and will die.

Sick? I'm going to eat the best food, and take good care of my mind and body. Go to the doctor and dentist every day. I'll exercise and socialize with my other non-working buddies. We will spend our days enjoying art and fine literature, and discussing metaphysics. Like the ancient Greeks, we will live like gods on the earth.

You get to work. Oh and pick up that garbage we left over in the corner of the park there. We don't like it.

You could probably get some free coke and heroin for your down time from the down time too.

If you work without getting paid, why would i give you anything in return? Go ahead and work - you don't get to have anything.

If you go to see a doctor every day, you'll die quickly

I'm not sure you understand what doctors are.

Maybe if it's Dr Death....

A doctor is an assassin who kills with poison

Yeah.  that might just be your doctor. And your teacher and your parents and probably most people that interact with you.  That might not be a shared experience with most other people.  Glad to see you've built up an immunity.

He’s got a point though.  In Canada putting people out of their misery like dogs is healthcare.  In fact, if the caregivers around the “mentally unfit” person get sick of caregiving, that may soon be grounds for “assisted suicide.”  Pretty diabolical stuff.

well that's not wrong of course but so far from what i can see it's not really the doctors that are pushing that.  You see things like the military vet councillors suggesting it to vets and such.  And you see the gov't turning a blind eye when people are specifically choosing it because they can't afford a place to live.

But i don't think the doctors themselves are terribly happy about it by and large.  Not much they can do tho.

As to everyone else in his life wishing he'd eat poison, i stand by my original statements
