(Inspired in part by the Darwin Awards). I work pediatrics at a local hospital now. But before I did Peds, back when I was just starting out - I worked ER in a Level 1 trauma center on the east coast. We got cases from the big cities and also from the outlying rural districts. I finally quit ER...

Ahhh, the good old Darwin Award! I think I should start my thread : "Things my patients have taught me NOT to do..."

You're asking the wrong people/person, sport. Not that anything is wrong with this crowd, mind. Just that you ought to be asking her. And the sooner, the better. Just an old fart's thoughts... cheers,

Your kidding, right? :confused: You did know it was a Martin Scorsese film? cheers,

Saxaphone here as well :) cheers,

Departed. Fantastic flick! cheers,

Gentlemen, One final note before I haul my carcass off to bed: I'm simply curious to know what georges means by "American". I've often read his posts stating that a certain PoV is "unAmerican" or that "unAmericanism as an attitude is unacceptable". These maynot be his exact words - but I trust...

Technically speaking - the President cannot veto anything. The word "veto" does not appear in the United States Constitution. Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution states that all legislation ****** by both houses of Congress must be presented to the President. If the President agrees with...

Hi georges, I'm curious - can you define what is "American" for me please? cheers,

Tehcnically, yes. The Legislature - being the directly elected representatives of the people are supposed to wield a tad bit more power. This is why the founders placed the legislature in Article One of the Constitution. But one must also remember that the power to oversee the Executive is a...

I will NEVER forget Jesus! "Don't fuck with the Jesus!" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh That bowling alley scene was just simply classic! :) cheers,

I don't absolve him of blame - especially for something such as "he doesn't know what he is doing". No - he has his share of blame. But the fault is not entierly his alone. Merely replacing "Bush" with a "Clinton" will not magically reverse situations. I mentioned Congress because they have...

... never mind...

To be very honest - there have been some as bad and some worse than him. cheers,

I happen to think he is both - or atleast this current administration is. But I hold Congress equally culpable. And last but not least - I hold we, the American people, atleasts morally responsible. I've come to this conclusion after watching egregious violations and perversions by...

I thought she retired ages ago. I liked her - I thought she had some spunk :) cheers,

Full story Very, very interesting article. cheers,

And they are all at different locii - hence why seemingly non-biracial couples can potentially have mixed 'colour' ****.... cheers,

By the way - this isn't "news" --- I saw this story sometime in February this year. LINK cheers,

I don't see why identical twins cannot be born this way. Identical twins have the same genotype (or DNA) but they have different phenotypes, meaning that the same DNA is expressed in different ways. Traits determined by phenotype, such as fingerprints and physical appearanceare due to the...

Q: If we eliminated the Welfare State, would you folks still vote to restrict immigration? Q: How many of you know or realise that our "quota limit for Visa" system is a hold over from our racist days of restricting "undesirables" from immigating to this country? The "wall" we are erecting is a...

If that "request" sounded like a "threat", then you Sir; have bigger issues to deal with than our mere disagreement. It's way past bed time for this old man. G'night.,

Re: Both left and right are against individual rights ... Guess my wife and I beat the average ;) Like I pointed out before - this ridiculousness first arose (and continues to breed) because of abject apathy regarding eroding property rights. Some people still have trouble equating property...

Mea Culpa. I should have said - "Individuals have the right to do anything (so long as they don't ******* the equal rights of others) - even if what they do is not right. THAT is the essense of Liberty." That used to be my signature line a month or so ago. I can think of banning smoking in...

Been there, done that. Many times over. It worked sometimes. It didn't work many times. And that's all there is to it...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Individuals have the right to do anything, even if what they do is not right. THAT is the true essense of Liberty". All you anti-smoking, dress-the-way-I-tell-you-to morality nannies can kiss my wrinkly old ass... cheers,

But naturally Torre! If each religion wasn't different and didn't offer different things - they wouldn't be "different" now, would they? ;) You'r pointing out the obvious here. My simple point - and I admit I could have been more clear - is that religion isn't so bothered about "Right and...

Whilst I'm not as "observant" and "enthusiastic" about death and ******* [even rouge 'scum' ] as Georges - and I am by no means speaking for or defending him:- I resent and disagree with your implications and conclusions about "huge weapons collection" and "*** magazines". I presently own 4...

This is p[robably the funniest thing I've read all week. Church of England anyone? :rolleyes: You have no idea what you're talking about. I oppose Roe V Wade because it's bad law. I'm not a member of the "Religious Right" and there are thousands of poeple like me who think the same way. My...

George Washington was a great President but a lousy military commander. The title of "Commander in Chief" is just that - a TITLE. It's not a LITTERAL post - the dude is the symbolic head of the armed ******. I say "SYMBOLIC" because back when the Republic was founded, there was no real standing...

BNF, you might find this article somewhat relevent: (emphases mine) Full article The gist anyway is that the U.S. Supreme Court has held that inciting others to break the law may be punished only in very narrow circumstances; even flatly advocating a ********* of law is protected under the...

A year to 5 years jail time. Peter: The options for your poll do't really stagger well. Three of the choices are somewhat redundant.... which is why many folks might be choosing the "1 year" option. I didn't vote on the poll. cheers,

You go down on yourself?? :eek: ;)

My wife prefers it to be trimmed atleast. It's the least I can do :) cheers,

I beg to differ. This whole concept of "supplements are NOT harmful to you and they have no side effects" is what is causing some of the troubles I see in my hospital everyday. ANY "supplement" taken in unbalanced quantities HAS a detrimental effect on the human body. The simplest (and most...

I can personally attest to the truthfulness of the following quote: cheers,

Please don't pop "supplements" like they are candy. Wanna shoot bigger loads? Play less often. Easier way with the least side effects. My honest opinion. cheers,

Well, according to some people - it's NOT that simple ;) I don't know why - but the very fact that an individual owns their body and thus has the right to do whatever the hell they want with it seems to scare the bejeezus outta some people! Great post LL :hatsoff: cheers,

I don't care if I'm called a "MCP" but, Gentlemen don't strike ladies. Simple. cheers,

Yes. Very good film. Brings back a lot of memories cheers,

I have VH. Here's reasons I don't like it: 1. Too many ads 2. Too much "commentary" 3. Too much focus on extraneous bullshit rather than just the song/preformace alone. 4. Still not nearly as much freedom to choose content like the internet allows me to. By the by: VH1 doesn't play enough...

YouTube. Where else can I relive concert memories from my youth? I don't get to see Jim Morrison or Robert Plant on TV now do I? cheers,

:glugglug: cheers,

Hearing my **** laugh and watching them play and grow up. My two darling, precious miracles. The way my wife smells and feels after a bath - her hair and soft skin. Seeing her impish smile ... dimples winking in and out. Enchantment and magic in her soft grey-green eyes. Sitting still with my...

There is also evidence to suggest that the opposite is also true... (circumcision leads to lower sensitivity and feeling). cheers,

V: For Vendetta For a couple of hours I got to enjoy watching those bastards recieve what they had coming! :) cheers,

"Popular music" has phases - Led Zeppelin were dismissed in my youth for being the spawn of the devil. They were considered "Heavy metal" or "Hard rock" in those days .... guess they never figured on hearing Pantera. Me? There've been days when I've thrown on Beethoven. But there are also days...

Incredible! cheers,

This is a nice thread. Thanks for the pictures :) They already do. Here's a question: When American spy sats orbit overhead, do you think they turn off the cameras just when they go over the US? I know that the NRO has used cameras so sensitive that they can tell the colour of your hair and...

To say nothing of the hurt it will cause you 10 years down the line.... Hotandready ~ Pay heed to the wise words of LadyLove. Do not take actions when you are angered or upset. Take it from an old man - Regret is a powerful thing. Avoid it at all costs! The ball is in your court sport - walk...
