Debate & Discuss / Re: Please Sign This Petition To Keep Tax Dollars From Funding Abortions (Murder)
« on: December 12, 2012, 10:37:51 am »Message ID: 655909
I would not get an abortion if faced with an unplanned pregnancy, but having said that, I don't judge those who choose to have an abortion. I'd rather they have the abortion and not bring another child that may end up on welfare and/or jail. The earth is already at maximum capacity and there will be no resources available by the time we are in the year 2050. If China and India consumed electricity, food, and various other resources the way Americans do, we will see a depletion of resources at an alarming rate. There are many ways to prevent pregnancy so it really is incomprehensible people still have unplanned pregnancies. It is utter irresponsibility to not take precautionary steps. I believe in the morning after pill and I hope the government provides it to women who cannot afford it because it's cheaper than supporting another human being. In response to the main topic of this post, my answer is the tax dollars that pay for the abortion are minimal compared to the tax dollars that will have to be used to support a child and the future children that child produces when it grows up and so forth and so on. People do foolish things. I have a vision that will never come to pass about a society in which the government requires a license to have sex in the same way you need one to drive. If you are caught, you pay the consequence (jail time and/or fine). Two types of licenses would be available one to have sex to procreate and another for sex for enjoyment. You can apply for one of the licenses at age 18. Sex under 18 would be illegal. Sex to procreate license would require a person to pass rigid psychological, financial, and physical evaluations to ensure they are fit to parent. If they fail, automatic sterilization if they want to have the sex for enjoyment license. Rapists and child molesters would get automatic death sentences if there is irrefutable evidence of the crimes (excessive victims with matching DNA evidence, video...etc) Those with just one conviction get life without the possibility of parole. In order to cut down costs, arrangements would be made with another country that would house them for a cheaper rate. Mexico comes to mind as a way to outsource correctional facilities. Victims of rape would be given a choice to either have an abortion or the state would support the child and the child's future education. Sterilizing those who have no business having children would reduce government costs and allow the state to subsidize the children conceived through rape. Victims of rape should never be denied the right to abort because they did not ask for that to happen to them. This population control through sterilization won't come to pass until we reach a critical level in population, then the government will have no choice.

I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing praise. I will be careful to lead a blameless life-when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart Psalm 101 1-2

I haven't seen a shooting star, but what an amazing experience to see that. Watching nature is so relaxing. I try to watch a sunset when I can and just sit in the silence of the moment marveling at God's creation.

Off-Topic / Re: Flu Shots
« on: October 29, 2012, 11:16:31 am »Message ID: 631214
Allright People!! I finally get a chance to talk about this since this is an anonymous board. I am a healthcare professional. Unemployed because I won't let the hospital administrators or insurance companies put me in a position were I might hurt a patient with their absurd demands to treat patients like we are herding cattle. They call me inefficient and I call me cautious and an extreme perfectionist. I do not believe in the flu shot for everyone. Sorry CDC. I do, however, believe in vaccines like tetanus, diphteria, and pertussis, varicella zoster, Mumps, Measles, Rubella...etc. I especially believe in the pneumococcal vaccine for folks over the age of 65. Let me explain how the flu shot is manufactured. It is a guess. They guess which strains are going to be circulating in a particular flu season (From about August-March), and they prepare the vaccine according to a GUESS. The CDC has their little disclaimer that the virus is inactived in the injection form and yada yada so it can't make you sick, but I have had my own patients develop symptoms within 24-48 hours of being injected. Now, it is entirely possible that in August they picked up a cold from somewhere and coincidentally are now sick after getting the flu shot. I saw many of these so called coincidences. Also, the symptoms are generally mild but people consider the flu any kind of congestion or general "icky" feeling. The real flu is high temperatures, chills, nausea, possibly vomiting, diarrhea, and congestion, and it can lead to the person being more susceptible to other organisms. Patients do die from the flu. Getting a normal reaction of a "minor cold" is not what concerns me. What concerns me is Guillain Barre: a devastating neurological disease. All vaccines carry a small risk for this, but the flu vaccine is more strongly associated with this GB syndrome than other vaccines. Why take that risk for a GUESS? Now, when is it appropriate to take that risk:

1. If you have asthma or COPD. You will be in trouble if you get the flu when battling these diseases
2. You are HIV positive or have cancer
3. You are pregnant
4. You are very old or very young
5. People who are morbidly obese
6. You have any condition that if you were to get the flu, you most likely will die.

Healthy humans from 6 years to 64 years should not be taking an unnecessary risk with a vaccine made through guesswork. Instead, as soon as you have the symptoms of the flu, go get seen by a physician so you can get Tamiflu.

We are going to carve a pumpkin in the morning. Here in Florida they start to rot pretty much immediately after the pumpkins have been carved. I will bake the delish pumpkin seeds, then I will probably make a lasagna and we will watch horror flicks while intermittently passing out candy to the kiddies. They egged us last year even though we had candy. Not sure what that was about. Little brats.

I procrastinated and didn't update my address so I don't think I will be able to vote. I need to get that done. I keep procrastinating on that. I do think it doesn't matter in the end though.

Here in FL we had some gusty winds over the weekend, but the forecast is nice and sunny for the rest of the week. It is a bit cold at 73 degrees F. Hope all turns out okay for the folks that will be the target of this storm.

If I could own an animal, I would name a girl Roxy. I have allergies and while I did have a kitty cat, he died earlier this year and I don't think I can go through the trauma of losing a pet again.

I'm not sure if it's getting better or worse. For me this was the worst year ever, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger..right?

When you are sick you have to maintain warmth so you don't depress your immune system. You feel you are recovered and you go out and expose yourself to cold temperatures, then you will have a resurgence of the symptoms.

Off-Topic / Re: This is how I do my dishes:
« on: October 25, 2012, 07:02:59 am »Message ID: 629023
Now that I am unemployed I wash all my dishes by hand. I do use hot water and I allow them to air dry for almost a day. I do think the key in ensuring the dishes are clean when washing by hand is to squeeze the sponge well and let it air dry with the spongy side up. I have a dishwasher, and it has the sanitize feature, but I think all things done by hand are actually more effective.

I can't even change a tire. I wish I did have experience in fixing cars because I could own an older car and be able to fix it myself thereby saving money. I don't have a lot of motivation to learn though.

It's been in the 80s here in Florida. I find that I have no tolerance for cold weather so this is the perfect place for me. I don't particularly like Florida, but I love the weather.

I wanted to vote, but I am still on the fence. I think both candidates have potential, but I find myself too late in updating my new address. Will probably not get to vote.

I think we should go back to more independently owned businesses. Being at the mercy of corporations who don't care about their employees is not the way to go. Congratulations for becoming your own boss.
