That's besides the point. People die everyday, but it doesn't negate the fact that we ought to take precaution. There are a variety of affected ages. ...

I actually work in the emergency department and I can tell you people are dying and it will only get worse. If you don't give a shit about yourself, g...

One of the initial psychological assessments many clinicians make is the distinction between a cry for help, or a risk for being a danger to oneself. ...

The above is best left to argue whether a personal or impersonal deity exists. In addition, we must consider the context to which we are discussing wh...

Where does Optimism fit when one is terminally ill? I find it a non-pragmatic way of observing life.

This.... As someone who works in the emergency room this is exactly why my hospital in particular is facing an uptick in admissions because younger pe...

July 14, 2020 at 05:29
I've listed several sources that maybe you refused to even read that verifies my position.

I'm mostly referring to the U.S. whites who believe they need to sustain their privilege, power, and influence in U.S. society. But because of their d...

Because of the fact that whites at least as it is genuinely known, is that they'll lose political/social influence that they've held on for so long. T...

BTW when you mentioned me, that paragraph was not my writing.

Depends. Very complex. There is no one answer.
