Politics and religion.

Like I said in my last post... Your lack of a clarification seems to justify my translation of the sentence in the context used. And thus, you, as usual, are denegrating any person who does not "think" like you do.


I say again.... Who do you think you are fooling with your bullcrap?

Poor, poor Puckstop...the world really does not revolve around you and what you want.

I do not give a rat's behind what you think of me...you just are not that important!

I'll make you a deal...stop putting words in my mouth to try and stem your guilt and I will put you back on ignore.

[Edwina's Secretary]

In all lanes.

Exactly!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Now THERE's a new wrinkle ...

Earn Your Way into being put on ignore.

Begs the question: What's the next plateau?

[Puckstop31]

I will put you back on ignore.

Atta girl! Can't answer the question honestly, dodge a bit then put me "back" on ignore. With the last barely concealed personal insult before.

You are a wonderful human being.

[Grace]

Not a lot of traffic on the high road today.

In all lanes.

And in both directions.

[RICHARD]

Oh, We had a talk show here in El Lay and when the callers into the program were done, they would ask the host if they could commit "caller suicide" - hang up on themselves!, I'd laugh every time I heard someone do it....

I guess you could commit 'poster suicide' and turn off the computer?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I asked you nicely Puck.

I have no choice but to assume your posts imply you have deep shame and guilt.

That is my translation of your words.

I hope you are able to find some relief from the pain your guilt causes you...other than lashing out at other people.

One can only hope....

Did you not get on my case for assuming?

But I digress, again.


Again, guilt has nothing to do with this. See, I know you are clever enough to never really answer a straight question. You are a master at deception and double speak. All you EVER do is try to turn a person's words against them. A little straight up honesty from you would be refreshing. Or are you ashamed of how you feel? What other REAL reason would there be for you to so frequently dodge easy to answer questions?

So, i'll ask again. This time i'll phrase it for you so it is a simple yes or no answer....

When you said...

Isn't it so sad, CM? "As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be unto me" apparently is not part of the credo of many in this country.

...were you implying that anybody who is NOT in support of THE CURRENT HCR bill(s) uncompassionate to the issues at hand?

Yes or No?

Like a little chesse with that whine?

[Edwina's Secretary]

And in both directions.

I completely agree with you two. There was not a single post on this thread yesterday that was on the high road!

[Medusa]

Or today either.

[Grace]

Trying to get this thread back on track.

Kenneth Bacon died today. He was 64, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and Pentagon spokesman during the Clinton presidency. He wrote an essay for the Washington Post back in July.

A Cancer Patient's Perspective

His obituary is here.

Looking at the difficulty he had getting treatments approved, I think we are all doomed without insurance reform.

[blue]

From this patient's perspective, the current reform effort must do five things:

(1)-- Emphasize prevention, early detection and early intervention.

(2)-- Maximize online efficiencies to reduce paperwork and streamline data.

(3)-- Protect the patient-doctor relationship.

(4)-- Address the insurance/quality-of-care gap.

(5)-- Increase funding for medical research.

I believe only #2 is addressed in the current HCR bill.

[RICHARD]

We are all doomed!

Look,

How many people die each year from-
Carbon Mono poisoning?
Tire blowouts on the freeway?
Dropping a hair dryer into the bath?
Lightning?
Miley Cyrus' videos?
Doing stunts at an amusement park?

The emphasis is on NUMBER 1 - early prevention and screening!


Half of us could give a flying shiat about inflating tires, changing motor oil, changing the batteries on a fire/CM detectors.......

So what makes anyone think about taking a mammogram, blood, pap, prostate or ? test.

LOL, the ONLY way to make it work is to make HC screening MANDATORY.

A few thousands dollars of tests could prevent HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars in treatment and surgeries....But, it will not happen until everyone is screened thoroughly.

sad, but true.
