  4. My first wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. After receiving radiation treatment for multiple brain lesions she suffered either a massive stroke or aneurism. In accordance with her previously stated wishes I refused to put her on life support. She had been put on O2 in the ambulance. She passed that night. It was hard to do but I had to honor her wishes. In my opinion she actually was lucky in that she did not linger in pain for months. Plus our children did not have to see it. In this case I feel for the family but at some point you have to let go. This young boy had zero. Absolutely zero chance of recovery. His continuing to be kept on life support by the parents wishes is in my opinion selfish. That bed in the ICU unit could well have been desperately needed by someone else who would have a very high chance of recovery. I think his parents should have been counseled early on that it was in the boys best interests to simply let him go peacefully.

  10.  @ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz  The reason no one is pushing nuclear. Five words Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Mile Island. Every single one of those were 1st generation designs. The current 3rd and 4th generation designs are far safer in terms of their design. But that does not matter one bit to the anti nuclear activists.

  16. At one point they were also exchanging weapons. The slave trade actually helped kick off a certain amount of tribal warfare.

  17. To be fair it's not everybody involved. But there are more than enough though. Exhibitionism no matter who it is not publicly acceptable. As to the as Hooters analogy that gets brought up. Been to the beach lately.

  18. Well, they've heard on CNN and MSNBC for years. And straight out of the mouths of people like Rev Al. Of course they believe it.

  20. @No one! Political appointees working their way up through the organization. Follow the money sort of 1) Who appointed them 2) Who has backed them and seen to their promotions 3) What political parties or groups do they belong to. 4) Where were they educated and in what field.

  21. All it takes is one 7nfortunate incident they can capitalize on.

  22. Well, that won't work out well for a certain demographic.

  23. Yes there literally are people who should prefer to see people starve rather than have to bend on one of their principles. The field of GMOs and Golden Rice in particular are a prime example.

  24. And not all men are interested in the glamorous types. Hence the attraction to the girl next door. Plus the eternal question. Ginger, or Mary Ann?

  26.  @domdubz7037  No, not everyone. But the majority did. Again and again. If there is an urban area circling the drain in the US odds are it is run by the Democrats and has been for decades.

  32. One of the Central American heads of state (El Salvador or Costa Rica iirc) has gome on record as one major cause of the immigration we are seeing is a direct result of policies in those countries that discourage economic development. IMO part of this is a result of foreign companies having excessive influence and control in those countries. But if a nation has a history of nationalizing foreign owned companies attracting foreign investment becomes problamatical.

  33. The liberal urbanites have long hated the rural communities. For a time they transferred their hatred to the suburbs. Personally I think they suffer from agoraphobia. Myself Iive in a city of about 100k. Lots of parks. Plenty of green. Actually if I were standing looking out of a window in one of the taller buildings in the city in the summer it looks like a forest with church spires sticking up. I'm maybe five minutes from the countryside. A small home by US standards with room for gardens. There is no freaking way I would give this up for living in a brick or concrete box in the sky. If you like living there that's perfectly fine.

  43. I have to admit there were days when I was still working that I didn't have to open my tool box all day. I worked maintenance in a large metal stamping facility. The only reason this happened was because nothing was broke down. The next day you likely payed for it as you were neck deep in it.

  46. Let's see. If we print more money, it will be worth less. Great it costs less to print more money. Now I know why Elon wants to go to Mars.

  49. I hope you noticed the "solidarity tax" mentioned in the Guardian article.

  50. Another thing that destroyed the Me Too movement was the Jacob Blake case. The sexual assault charges against him at the time. Which is why the police were there in the first place to execute an arrest warrant. Were swept under the rug and ignored by the media.
