Funny Political Picture Thread Part VI*** It can't get any worse...can it?

[DoggyDaddy]

Agree with the question, what are the beliefs of the middle? Are conservatives more or less conservative that 30 years ago? I say far less. Where is the left compared to 30 years ago? Much farther left. So just what ground is there for the middle? The division between conservatives and the left is no longer policy, it is constitutional. How does that split work? That is the crux of the election

I made a comment in some other thread (I think) that the political spectrum is no longer a standard bell curve and that the "bell" has shifted to the left.

Hypothetical question, as I'd never wish harm on another person who was not both an existential threat and a clear and present danger.... with the three of them lined up like that, would a standard FMJ round penetrate all three or would an actual AP round be needed?

I vote for 45-70 with a hard cast.

And tell the universities/colleges that if they want to preach debt forgiveness, then it can be done by those universities/colleges absorbing all the debt.

This. It does appear that universities and colleges took knowing advantage of students, both in getting the students to take out loans and jacking up their tuition rates (as well as keeping mum about how few college majors actually turn into jobs that can pay back those loans), so they've been acting as first cousins to loan-sharking and predatory lending. I could see some justification for relieving a percentage of student loan debt --- but that "relief" should come out of the hide of the colleges and universities that have been taking advantage, not on US taxpayers.

This, exactly.

I wonder if it is less that they are centrist issues and more that they're just not as personally important?

Example: I am a smal-L-libertarian, as in not a member of the LP. Libertarians are often characterized as just being potheads, etc. I do not use marijuana or any illicit drugs, and never have. I have had a "contact high" at a couple of concerts, back in the 1980s. I could not care less if marijuana is legal or not, as I won't be using it, either way. If I'm pressed on the issue, I don't think government should have anything at all to say about it, or for that matter, about any substances used for a medical reason.... I don't like the idea of having to get permission to buy something that I know how to use, which is what a prescription is.

Pot is not a hill I'm going to die on. I don't really care if it's legal or not.

Second example: I was married for 25 years. For a number of those years, the house two doors down from me was a lesbian couple. I never asked if they were married. It didn't matter. Whether they were or not did not affect my marriage, and to borrow the punchline from the old joke, yes I still have the rolex they gave me when I said I wanna watch.

I don't believe in _________ supremacy. I don't believe in __________ inferiority.

That pair of sentences is correct as long as the same word is in both blanks: White, Black, Asian, male, female, gay, straight, rich, poor.

It's not about what labels are used to divide us. We are Americans. We are humans. What holds us together is of much greater importance.

I am not for the use of intoxicants for recreational use, medicinal use, sure. Did you mean that all drugs should be available without FDA approval and a doctors recommendation?

As for the other I don't want to know what anyone does behind closed doors. Get a room. would be my response to you whatever your sexual proclivities.

I make an exception for those doing harm to children.

I look at this kind of like with electronics. "UL Listed" is not in any way a requirement of law. Various manufacturers offer their product to Underwriters' Laboratories for testing and "listing". If you want to put something in your body that is untested, that's your choice.

Here's the thing, though: When my daughter was very young, about 6 or 7, as I recall, we took her to her doctor for evaluation for headaches. At that time, we asked about ibuprofen, and the doctor was hesitant to give us a prescription for it, as such was required at that time, for children. OK, there are some effects it can have that might be problematic with her medical status at the time-- I had researched these and knew of them.

The pediatrician however, had no problem putting a very little girl on Valium and Fiorinal, however.

I believe that if I know I need a med, and I know what it is and how to use it, I should be able to go buy it. If I need a med and I *don't* know what, or don't know how to use it, I have the responsibility to seek out advice from someone who knows better than I do.... Case in point, I won't get into fiddling around with my house electric, as I know enough to know I don't know what I'm doing in there. I call a professional in to fix what I can't.


All kidding aside, the couple two houses down from us were just like any other couple, it's just that they were both women. Could they have been just roommates or sisters or cousins or whatever? Sure. I don't actually know from any evidence that they were romantically involved, and again, I don't care. The comment about the rolex was just a line from an old joke.

Blessings,

I did take that as a joke.

There are many of us that do not have the level of medical training that you do. I am hesitant to do anything without my doctors insight.

Doctors generally get perques for pushing certain pharmaceuticals, Ibuprophen just did not happen to be on the list.

When a clinical study is done they have to document EVERYTHING that the study subjects experience while on the drug. Thus, Hydroxichlorequin, has heart attack listed, not that it caused a heart attack, but during the study one or more of the test subjects experienced heart attacks.

Thus Nancy P. could attack Mr. Trump for taking a drug that is used millions of times a year.

Most of us don't know what expert online is giving us good info and which is an idiot that has a way with words.

My wife lived in a house with 3 female roommates,before we were married.

I recognize that I have more medical knowledge than most people do...

I know how to change the oil in my car. I choose to have someone else do it, partly for the space and tools they have to do it more efficiently. I have changed my car’s brakes, and again, if that job needs done again, I would have someone else do it.

I do not believe that I should have to consult an ASE Master Mechanic to buy brake pads or fluid, even though, used or installed improperly, I could injure or kill lots of people.

There is no reason you would not be able to consult your doc, and there are some things for which I would consult mine as well. I’m just saying we should not be required to do so.

I have in the supply room at work, bottles of half a liter of sterile water.

Purchase of this product requires a physician’s order. Water.

See how stupid it gets?

ETA: If I found out her pediatrician was willing to put my 6 year old daughter on barbiturates and benzos because of a motherf***ing kickback, we would be having words. Well, I would be having words. He would have shut up and listened if he knew what was good for him.
