You are not wrong, however, neither am I. Comforting eh?

Not real clear how my carrying a knife is relevant to my ability to discern questionable directives based on cloudy science, but ok, clearly you have ...

sure, but science changing in 4 days? on multiple points, all aligning to secure an otherwise tenuous position? Highly suspect.

There are multiple reasons why it seems that most medical professional are supporting the dominant narrative, rather than balanced approaches: Firstly...

I would suggest that we already follow the idea of miller's Law, or at least, the majority of us do. We, generally, do not read an op and instantly as...

I feel basically the same about it. I am not supported in doing my own research on it, I am advised to promote it based only on propaganda. Makes me n...

Other people are absolutely for entertainment, as is pretty much everything else.

Not to rain on your Anti-kid parade, because it's a decent rant, but kids are cool. Show me a screwed up kid and I will show you a bad parent.

Depends on your life experience. I would rather have a gun, or knife, and not need than need and not have. I am not allowed to carry a gun in Canada s...

I have always maintained that if a person won't follow the professional's advice then the person should at least not waste said professionals time and...

I would suggest that hate/hatred is simply an emotion or emotional state. As with most emotional states, the state itself is not a problem. Actions wh...

Located in Canada. Our system "works" as long as no one thinks about the long game, no one considers the bill attached to keeping it going, and no one...

You bring up valid points, however, each of those improvements were only required due to the baseness of humanity initially. The rapist that stops rap...

yes we are. Likely the worst of all animals.

The writings of the Marquis de Sade would certainly support the claim that he advocated for pedophilia, rape, infanticide, and murder. He also covered...

No. They don't want to be free, not ever. The vast, vast majority of my patients want someone to blame (just never them) for whatever predicament they...

I would suggest that the real question is: Am I morally entitled to force life saving treatment upon you, regardless of your stance on it? That is the...

Well, the ones that agree with the state accept it's authority, the ones that don't do like everywhere else and grumble while not getting too much att...

I have wondered about this. The concept of removing identifiers is bizarre to me. Consider it this way: 200 resumes. First we remove any identified re...

If I agreed with it they would not be restrictions. I have an issue with the restrictions because the historic science does not support them. The new ...

Please explain how every death is a tragedy. Then explain how deaths are bad. I don't follow either of these assumptions. It's like rain is bad and wh...

Absolutely, the government can do what it likes, always could. My issue is with the lame-ass attempt at justifying the action. The rhetoric used does ...

Thanks for that eh. A non-answer, but if that's all you have to support your position...fair enough.

But live in fear of everything is mentally healthy? Do you read your responses or just go with whatever you are feeling at the time?

Nope. They can't see past the headlines. Not ever.
