You're so pro-big-government you don't want people to decide for themselves when to end their lives.

I can't hardly believe it.

"I can't hardly believe it."

That's because you're not talking about anything I believe in. You believe in a fairy tale. Something that doesn't exist.

Nothing about my stance is "pro-big-government"... my stance is actually pro-limited government.

Again: If you trust the government to decide when people die? You're not that smart.

Then again... you think I'm pro-big-government so... not that smart.

Canada has government run healthcare and that government run healthcare is pushing people to kill themselves to save money.

That's not you deciding to die. That's you getting pushed to die to save bean counters in the government money.

YOU are so pro-big-government that you want to give government run healthcare the right to kill you because it's better for tax payers.

See how that works? I can make non-sense statements too.

Not an especially convincing argument for those who do not see it as axiomatic that “big government” is in itself bad.
