Just put in the new video games and they can have
-virtual smoking
-vitual drinking
-virtual carousing with female members of the opposite sex even.

In the VA hospitals its always great to see former brave combat vets being led around by the nose by some 20 something little cupcake treating them like 6 yr olds...

Now it's time for arts n crafts kiddies and some really kewl wholesome entertainment...milk and cookies and nap time later.

It's a Canadian facility.

Well, I wasn't a brave combat vet (I was scared ****less the whole time), but I am a combat vet that refuses to have the smarmy pieces of no-caring excrement talk to me as though I were a child and treat me as though I were nothing more than a pain in the ass that they have to deal with.

If I ever go back to one of the damn things, it'll be because I need a death bed.

And as I die, I hope I crap all over and vomit like a demon, just so one of the stinking "compassionate" employees (that rarely speak english) have to clean it up.

I would not have my dog treated in a VA hospital.

I guess once you are old or disabled enough to be controlled, your life is not your own.

I'll NEVER be that old.
I'll pee in their wheaties and put butter in their shoes, I'll hide their ink pens, I'll tear up their remittance forms. If nothing else I'll strip 'em to their underwear in my mind and laugh uproariously at the picture.
I will NEVER be controlled no matter how old I become.

" It is a shame how we treat those that sacrificed for this country, a crying shame."

I'm sure MOST have always agreed with that and don't need convincing. I don't understand why it has been continued for so long. This problem should have ben fixed long ago.

Ah, yes. The much-vaunted Canadian health care and social safety net in action.

Sadly, we are becoming more like them, as other posters have noted.

Nanny staters are repulsive in thought, word, and deed.

Isn't the left, in their push for euthanasia, that is always citing "quality" of life over "quanity?" If you can't enjoy life, why live it?

Seems that only matters when they are ready to kill Granny or a disabled wife.

Wholesome and quality somehow don't seem to mix well.

Since restricting cigarettes and alcohol from the facility,

IMO this was a wise choice since studies have found that smoking and alcohol will lead to premature death.........(/sarcasm)

In terms of ammenities (sp?) and quality of life, this country is unsurpassed. In terms of erosion of freedoms, this country leads the list. I have had the pleasure of visiting central America many times, I have a friend who married a woman from the Ukraine and in all the conversations I have had with my friends in CA and my friend's wife, their respective countries still have the personal liberties that our grandparents enjoyed...........
