That's laughable. My employer's "polite" request was "Get the vaccine or get fired, and fuck all the times you had our back." Getting fired means no i...

We do not. Let it run. ALL of our attempts to control it thus far have resulted in epic failure, for the very simple reason that it cannot be limited,...

If that makes you happy, go with it!

They are all good to go. We have our reasons for what we do, and yours is no worse, and no better, than mine.

As per the landlord, no. My friend got married, then divorced. Then returned to Canada and has a clean credit history, no criminal record, and works f...

The credit was with the store, not a credit card. My understanding is that should someone default the store would come collect the furniture.

I can not speak to the American Medical system, I don't play in it. However, the Canadian version goes something like this: If you can prove you are u...

Yes. Increasing amounts of agoraphobia ( I am not using the latest term for this condition, phobias are now out of style, it is some other anxiety dis...

I have a true story to represent the Case you requested of Bartricks. Hopefully you find it sufficient to work with. I had a friend, many years ago, l...

I will take it one level further; relative to benefiting from being the victim of a crime. You break into my house, wreck it, and steal a bunch of stu...

you forgot to also demand ridiculous amounts of money in compensation for all the bad stuff that happened as a result of the initial crime. Because, a...

it's ok. You already bought the stuff and did not know it. So you owe the perceived victims of the crime, which seems odd, as you likely bought the st...

The sun exists. My belief in it is irrelevant; it existed prior to me and will continue on after me, and it cares not one whit about my belief in it. ...

I would maintain that, IF, the pizza were still available in it's original state, AND Rodney were to suffer no additional loss, other than said pizza,...

I find the level of assumption on this thread to be head shaking. Assumption of innocence, assumption of evil, assumption of God, and the ever-laughab...

not the US. Canada. If you don't believe me feel free to look up manitoba headlines this last week. No nurses want their names mentioned and only spea...

There ya go! You don't know where I work, but will certainly talk shit about how I am lying. You don't don't work health care, you friends do, but hav...

People should always worry about going to a hospital to get help. It should be the last option used. There are all sorts of nasty bugs there and it is...

I have no illusions: my job IS more important to me than saving lives. I do the best I can within the rules I have to play by, but I did not write the...

No thanks, I still need my job. Simple as it gets really. I am not in a position to change policy or order sets. I am in a position to lose my job or ...

The analogy does not hold up. Drive drunk, more likely to injure the innocent, and increased risk to you. Don't drive drunk, less likely to injure the...

No worries there, I will find it eventually if it is worth finding. Not sure what you were expecting posting the OP though: people would either be int...

Good for you. Your hospital seems to have had leadership move forward to do those things; must be nice. Ours did none of them, which is inline with ou...

Good for your neighbour. Clearly he doesn't work in my health region or he would be saying "Holy shit, someone is talking outside of work! That person...

nice use of milieu!

My understanding is that she withdrew because she was no longer able to determine her body position relative to where it actually is. This is a legiti...

Nice thought, and wrong. Ordinarily I would say absolutely correct, but not for Covid. Your position presupposes that the patient is still the most im...

Aortic dissections are a rough go. He is lucky he made it through the corrective surgery. And yep ICU is where he would have been for a while to be ke...

I can not speak directly to the treatment of only addicts in ICU with Covid. However (and this will raise a ton of naysayers who will refuse to believ...

Her level of safety remains the same. Whatever viral load that is taken up by the newcomer is countered by whatever additional load brought in by him,...

Eighteen years of payments for 18 minutes of entertainment seems tyrannical to me. It's not like there only one person involved eh. Kids from an actua...

Because kids are cool. Best reason to make one or two or more.

I can learn Spanish easily enough. Language is not a problem. I would like to view a copy before breaking out the money though.

Pass. I answered your question. You changed the parameters after the fact. In response to the OP: Most people will have no symptoms of covid, and no l...

Populations, as a whole, do not feel the side effects that an individual feels, therefore, the decision to immunize or not should be from an individua...

notice your initial response had you packing a gun to potentially protect your family, and once I supported that position, with rationale, you suddenl...

you answered nothing. Thank you for a pointless response. Perhaps next time you could provide reasoning?

But why? The population will not feel any side effects of the vaccination, but the individual will, therefore it is an individual decision. The "bette...

Safer if you, and they, know how, and are willing, to use said weapons to defend themselves. If they are unable or unwilling, then they are not safer,...

This argument precludes the concept of learning beyond a single lifetime, which is a self-defeating position for anyone that also believes in an after...

you are operating on a finite amount of evil. Why? Also, why an infinite amount of good? Lastly, why is evil a problem? Why not the problem with good?...

Not usually, no. Usually stupidity is a mob rules kind of thing. And mobs are fairly easily led, provided you use the right tool. Fear is the best too...

So where does the money come from? I did answer the thread. I said No to the living wage/ handouts. You came back with the sob story about all the poo...

I don't have an issue with the poor having no money. I have an issue with the poor having a nicer cell phone than I have, better medical coverage, a n...

As opposed to your "everyone gets a free ride" approach, wherein the main qualifier is the ability to breathe, with or without assistance. Apparently ...

Exactly. In Alberta during the first six months of the lockdown people that apparently could not afford to pay their utilities were allowed to "defer"...

no research at all. I used your numbers so as not to skew any results with my own numbers. And still, you are angry. Not at my math, but that I simply...

you said jeff makes 800/hr. Based on your numbers, those that fill out the benefits and do nothing else make more hourly than he does. Deal with it. W...

Suffering is such an interesting thing. It is entirely individualized and almost entirely based on perspective. I am not sure how an increase in physi...

Actually, with regards to energy expenditure compared to return, they likely make more than Jeff, per hour. Good system.
