No. But dropping $100,000 for some of the answers I am looking for would be a basement level bargain. So again, what is the title of this book? Findin...

Does your expensive work have a title? Depending on the content the price might be an amazing deal. I would drop $100,000.00 for the right information...

I suppose those who only want followers, not thinkers, would not be supporting freedom of speech, or thought, as it would threaten their positions and...

I am not a brain in a vat, simply because I am self aware, therefore more than a brain. Now I could be a spirit occupying a brain in a vat, but the ex...
June 23, 2021 at 11:51
yep. And then say irrelevant, or anecdotal. Either way, whatever you dislike, you dismiss. Nope, not ever. You are projecting again. I think the pande...

Philosophy is the name given to the attempt of describing the guiding principles of one's life...to someone that likely disagrees, or at best, doesn't...
June 23, 2021 at 10:34
There it is. Never gets old eh, back to the old "irrelevant" position. So your position is that it's ok to rebel, maybe, but not now, and not against ...
June 23, 2021 at 10:29
Not sure if you will get a lot of objections. I can think of one poster that seriously supports censorship and the blind following of government, but ...
June 23, 2021 at 09:56
Agreed. With one exception: I feel no need to forgive myself of anything. Otherwise spot on. I am not anti-vax. Not at all. However, much like I do no...
June 23, 2021 at 09:45
So, for arguments sake, I will go off the deep end here and dive into a theoretical worst case scenario: Strictly hypothetical. - As per social contra...
June 23, 2021 at 07:33
So...big brother knows best eh. Scary stuff. Applicable to you my friend. And yet...you are still posting. Most of your rant is fully applicable to yo...
June 23, 2021 at 07:22
You have yet to specify when I claimed any sort of conspiracy theory. Still waiting on that. I have given examples of when public health has had less ...
June 22, 2021 at 12:39
:up:
June 22, 2021 at 11:48
When did I say there was a conspiracy? Be specific now. You are clinging to the premise that public health is entirely correct and that they are compl...

In about a year...actual herd immunity. And minor population control. Now Ebola...That goes pandemic, I will likely get the vaccine. 70% mortality rat...
June 22, 2021 at 07:09
So far. Give it a few years eh. Let me know then.
June 17, 2021 at 13:01
life isn't safe eh. We all die. Adjust. I disagree with getting the vaccine, at least right now. I don't buy into the sales pitch. A lot of us that wo...
June 17, 2021 at 13:00
Vaccine information is medical information, that makes it none of your business. Wear a mask if you want to fly, fair enough. Come to my country and y...
June 17, 2021 at 12:57
Any evidence that contradicts your position you deem irrelevant. Just pathetic.
June 17, 2021 at 12:50
The mask thing for airlines I am fine with. You want to fly, you play by their rules. Fair enough. The vaccine thing I disagree with. There is no way ...
June 17, 2021 at 12:49
Not at all.
June 17, 2021 at 12:43
Hey thanks for bringing that up! I had forgotten that crap. I work for the same outfit now as I did then. Then it was mandated that I get that vaccine...

Thalidomide had awesome reviews initially and was the wonder drug of the time. That did not work out so well longer term. Long terms studies matter. M...

Going with the over-dramatic option. Sure we could end our existence on earth, but will we really? Nope. I kinda wish we had the stones to though. At ...
June 17, 2021 at 08:22
And that pretty much captures your stance. Also nothing to do with ethics. Bravo.
June 17, 2021 at 08:15
And colchicine as well. Used to treat gout for many decades. I won't take the vaccine but I would have no problem with colchicine if needed.
June 17, 2021 at 08:13
Thank you for clearly elucidating basically everything I find abhorrent with the pro-vaccine types. It must be horrible living with that kind of abjec...

A "divine" bank account that replenishes itself would be nice.

I mean speech specifically designed to promote hatred and subsequent violent response, for example "all french Canadians are less than human and so sh...
June 13, 2021 at 15:08
I support free speech. Not hate speech, but actual free open discussion to expand understanding of a topic. Disagreeing with the other posters greatly...
June 12, 2021 at 21:28
I support that we should be able to question whatever we feel will result in a decent conversation/discussion, however, as I have had threads deleted ...
June 12, 2021 at 21:10
So through a personal choice, declining the vaccine, one could become a drain on the system, taking the place of someone who needed the care. Correct?...
June 12, 2021 at 18:48
I disagree with the OP. Belief in God is irrelevant to being good, or evil. Both are a matter of perspective, nothing more. In a nutshell, that which ...
June 08, 2021 at 09:30
They also push for organ donation which I also did not sign on for. There are a lot of party lines that I tend to ignore.
June 08, 2021 at 06:42
interesting that you taught ethics and have no problem with the vaccine rollout. I am not advocating that my patients not get the vaccine, nor am I sa...

Lastly, I am coming at this with a 4 year university degree in a healthcare field, 14 years direct patient care experience including 9 in critical car...
June 04, 2021 at 00:05
not at all. I use the same measure across the board, the measure I was taught to use to assess risk and benefit for all my patients. I do not work on ...
June 04, 2021 at 00:00
I elect not to get the vaccine because I do not believe the science that I have been told. I also do not push my patients to get the vaccine, or to av...

I have only seen one patient with a right sided heart. Very cool. The initial ECG looked really bizarre (done on the left side) and an older doc took ...

Thanks for the welcome. I postulate the theory of stepping forward into the unknown as an alternate, although much less frequent, explanation for a su...

What about the people that are bored and curious about what is on the other side? Sometimes people get tired of eating the same sandwich so they get s...

I won't buy another new vehicle. I traded my 2018 Ram pick up to my wife for her 2002 sentra. The sentra doesn't talk to my phone, has no cameras, doe...

Clearly it is, despite your tirade against it. You can also rage against the Sun, proclaim the injustice of if rising in the East and setting in the W...

I have never understood the immediate assumption that the rich and powerful MUST be greedy. It is baffling. I have always assumed that those who made ...
May 28, 2021 at 22:09
Nothing rare about humans. Finding a spot without one is less common than it was before, therefore the idea of rarity lacks strength. Not sure why you...

Some of us require that it is anonymous. I could not post my opinion on a number of things if those posts could be traced back to me. I would be fired...

They find each other sexy. See? Not tricky at all.

Sociopathy arises from multiple social plights as a learned response to increase chances of survival based upon perceived levels of threat and peril. ...

The term Psychopath is no longer used. The features of psychopathy are now just rolled into the Antisocial Personality Disorder title, which is much l...

Thanks. It was a conscious decision years ago, I have just stuck with it.
