i wonder how the 'some experts' figure that chc's are 'better'?
or do they just say that they're better because they don't do abortions?

what really gets me....capitalism is supposed to be so great, except when someone dare make money on certain medical procedures.
but when i say we should have universal health care, oh hell no! that's communism or socialism, or something.

as for 'fallibility' and the argument over right to life, that's been covered.
as the fetus gets further along, things change. read the roe ruling, it'll explain.

McCarthy drops
 

It's official now with McCarthy dropping from the speakers race. The inmates are in charge of the asylum

yeah, i thought the above was a good one...until i saw this one:

http://news.sciencemag.org/policy/20...ist-requesting

science is partisan?!
this reminds me of the good old days, when fossil fuel companies fought the removal of lead from gasoline. paid scientists to say the evidence showed nothing to worry about.... lead is a naturally occurring substance, how could it be bad? they asked. :rolleyes: hell, even the ancient romans knew the stuff could be bad--but plenty more peasants to take the places of those who died in the lead mines. lead was right there, easy to mine, easy to use....who cared if it was deadly to a few?

oh,and speaking of lead.....it's still in aviation fuel, and is the leading cause of lead in the environment.

Allegedly due to threats of revealing an affair:

Which, I mean, I don't care who the eff a politician is sleeping with; I only care how they vote on actual issues, but in this case, apparently the threat to go public came from the GOP side, not the opposition.

I was amazed when I saw about that story.....cannibalism at its finest.

but then, I just saw this:

I am appalled. carson blames the shooting victims, than he blames the jews, and now this guy doubles down on it.


this is a complete fabrication, and completely misunderstands history-with a bit...well, a lot of alteration to go along with it.
and it also ignores the fact that most of the jewish people killed in concentration camps weren't germans, they were poles, or from other countries overrun by the Nazi war machine. and then there's the fact that the effing german populace fully supported the Nazis, hitler, etc.
good god, people. know of what you speak before opening your stupid mouth and making up crap!!

There is an alarmingly large portion of the population that seems to think Red Dawn was a documentary.

It's really funny. The left used to pride themselves as being the party of inclusion and the right being old, rich white candidates. Now you have an african american, a women and 2 hispanics on the right, with old rich white people running on the left.:)

I think perhaps you need to review the net worth of the leading candidates:

And also perhaps their ages. I would not exactly call multi-millionaire Ben Carson a spring chicken. ;)

(I'd also argue, with the exception of Bernie Sanders, that any of these candidates are running on the left, but that's a whole 'nother topic.)

for the love of Pete :wf

you gotta be kidding me.
who sues an 8 year old?! well, now 12, he was 8 when it happened.
i don't know that this will fly, how could it?

The part that gets me is the claim that a "reasonable" 8 year old would have known better......give me a break :rolleyes:

I love when people say 'not to be _______, but'......and then say something that is just the opposite of 'not to be'

There's some commenting that it may be the insurance company requiring her to sue in order to recoup costs from the dad's homeowner insurance policy.

Or, it could be that the kid inherited a life insurance policy from his deceased mom and she wants a cut. Families get weird when money gets involved.

a lot of people get weird when money is involved.
but that would be appalling if her health insurer was forcing this issue...i mean, what negligence is there? the kid is 8. and to sue, when the dad just lost his wife....just a completely horrible situation.
what a betch

I thought I seen a news trailer early this morning stating the suit was thrown out.....

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34523300

no, she lost. as she should have. just visited bbc, and there was the link.

i have a concealed carry permit...doesn't make me think i'm a cop.
hell, not even a cop should shoot in this type situation! stupid.

in hockey, they give two minutes for dives like this...

And indeed, she said the insurance company forced her to. They paid exactly $1.00 of her medical expenses, so she's out over $100,000 over her broken wrist.

"“From the start, this was a case was about one thing: getting medical bills paid by homeowner’s insurance,” her lawyers’ statement said,“Our client was very reluctant to pursue this case, but in the end she had no choice … Her hand was forced by the insurance company. We are disappointed in the outcome, but we understand the verdict.”"
