There aren't any freeloaders.

Let's back away from social engineering via heartless and criminally inclined paramedics. Why should a drug addict be more responsible for herself tha...

Is this view based on a principle such as liberalism? Ot what?

The non-vaccinated are suffering from the delta variant at the moment. They'll get some immunity that way.

How about small numbers without basic needs?

I was thinking concrete, and it could be marketed as a way to teach kids about human anatomy. :chin:

Miniature golf course where each hole is a mouth or ear. Or nose.

These days scientists use "Big Bang" to just refer to the expansion of the early universe. It doesn't refer to a singularity at the beginning. See the...

Because what I have to say is so damned important I have to quote it.

The force where you pay attention to advances in science.

People who quote themselves. Why?

Trust the force, Luke.

Nobody watched the video on inflationary theory. :sad:

Do you have little holes in your palms? Or any 6's on your scalp?

No you're not.

I'm a vegetarian these days. No bacon.

I see. Well I can respect that.

No, the hypocrisy is in doing the very thing you criticize.

Do you see why you appear hypocritical here? If not, we're sorely be lacking in enough common ground to carry the question further.

Fewer pigs please.

See this is why someone would accuse you of arguing in bad faith. You throw out a scrap of data and build all sorts of assumptions around it to suppor...

You're more likely to be a vector if you don't get vaccinated, so there's that. Don't ask for citation. You should have already read the findings on t...

Yes, yours has primacy.

That's so weird to me. Your job orbits around abstraction, mine around concretion, usually shattered in some way.

I think this might be an El Dorado of misplaced intellectual weight.

El Dorado? Hmm.

Socrates had a rough life because his wife bossed him around all the time, so I guess we should have empathy?

We're presently in an interglacial period of an ice age. The glaciers will come back eventually. They're due to start coming back in the next 500-1000...

I agree that preventative medicine, a diet of whole grains and veggies for everyone, replacing cars with bikes, gun control, etc. would reduce the loa...

It's mostly genetic. Asthma is mostly genetic. We don't know what causes MS, but you'd need to show a proven preventative strategy to stay consistent ...

Hypertension, asthma, and MS don't. That's why I mentioned them. :razz: You were guessing, then.

You don't even know what the comorbidities were. Some of it was diabetes, some hypertension. What about cancer, asthma, MS. etc? Plus you said that wi...

I would probably look for research aimed at identifying what percentage of patients admitted to ICU have comorbidities. But using that data, how do yo...

72.2 percent... of what? The first article was about identifying risk factors for ICU admission of COVID19+ with underlying CVD. Again. You've lost me...

In the Ruins of Neoliberalism: The rise of antidemocratic politics in the West. Wendy Brown

Try smoking more crack.

I don't see how that article supported your claim. Could you point it out specifically?

It just doesn't square with my experience in trauma, neuro, surgical, and medical ICUs that half of the patients on any given day wouldn't be there if...

Your perspective is afflicted by a disconnection with the real world. Chinese authorities knew about the pathogen and they responded by suppressing co...

There's no way to be constantly ready for a pandemic. Last year hospitals stopped doing elective surgeries to devote all the ICUs to covid19. Most hos...

I've been reading about that time period. There's a view that this was an opportunity to enter more maturely into socialism in the west, but they sort...

:rofl:

I thought of that too. There are reports of summary executions and homes being raided for child brides. Their leaders are saying this wasn't authorize...

It's always been that way, though, right? Too much fury, too little rational thought.

Taliban leaders are saying women can continue working. Maybe they're different now.

Well this is troubling. I'll have to change my entire outlook on life now. Thanks a lot.

Are you saying buying garden hoses has nothing to do with the weather? Citation?
