10 Woman does not look happy. Probably found out she makes less money at the steel works then her male coworkers.
Is this an evil country or what?
African Americans once were tallied at 3/5 of a white person. Women earn 3/4 of what men earn. You had better be on board with fractions if you wish to live here.

There isn't one modicum of truth that comes out of these people's mouths. There is no cogitative process, no intellectual discernment, no realization of the truth.
There is only Left Wing propaganda focused on electing their God Queen who can do not wrong.
Clinton is probably resoundingly the most unqualified, corrupt, under investigation by the FBI, underwhelming, unaccomplished person to ever run for president.
But you know, lets twist Trumps word to distract from that disgusting amalgam of lies and obfuscation called Clinton.
Talk about people who need a nut punch. They're beyond reasoning, the little smug, partisan hacks sporting their smirks because they know how soho eat they are.

Maybe it's me, but I heard Trump's comments and, frankly, didn't see anything wrong with them.
And even taken in the most extreme biased interpretation that he's saying the 2A enables the people to rise up against tyrants, well...yeah, I think that's kind of the point. This is like getting mad at the weatherman for telling you you'll get wet if you go out into a rainstorm.

Dish Network is offering a semi- a la carte menu, where you can drop things like kids channels or sports channels if you don't watch them. This is a big shift away from the fixed-tier model they've been shoving down our throats for a long time. Not quite actual a la carte pricing, which woujld go a long way toward forcing assholes like MSNBC and ESPN toward cleaning up their act, but it's progress.
All that cord-cutting seems to be producing some results.

I don't think that's a biased interpretation at all. When they take your guns, there's nothing you can do, well maybe there is but that would be a sad day, is basically what he said. That's not a call to kill Hillary, that's a comment on stuff that might happen. It's also not an endorsement of that stuff.

Once again, the Left needs to pick a theme: Trump voters are cunning enough to intuit a very nuanced "assassination dog-whistle" in Trump's comment, and are not the gormless proles they've been portrayed as (and he's far from the one-note jackass that he's been portrayed as), or Trump voters are in fact so synaptically challenged that they shouldn't be able to get to a booth or read a ballot, much less present an concerted electoral challenge. They can't be both.

I'd be shocked if the source mentioned here is true.
According to a 4chan post from an anonymous source who appears to have inside knowledge of the coming leaks, hackers have obtained personal videos of Hillary Clinton that will reveal "the real Hillary." The source of the leak is reportedly Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin.

I have lived all throughout the upper midwest. It seems as though home builders stopped building porches somewhere around the mid 70s and only recently (less than 10 years) started reincorporating them.
The other thing that came into fashion that grinds my aesthetic gears is how, for much of the same period, the garage is the most prominent part of the home and the view of it from the street. Many homes built during this period look like a garage with a house attached in the back.

Understandable. Here's the general question: what is your take on the HPV vaccine, and/or where can I find reliable information about it? Most of what I see is either incomprehensible statistical gobbledygook or utter hysteria. I also can't seem to find anything level-headed on risk/benefit. If you are comfortable providing any info on the foregoing that would be much appreciated. If you don't care to discuss I understand that too.

Not exactly my area of expertise. The purported value of the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine predicated on the notion that there is a causative relationship between HPV and cervical cancer and that preventing HPV would reduce rates of cervical cancer later in life. The efficacy is I think, open to question. The political problems came in when it was being pushed toward younger aged girls (12-13) and was being pushed toward mandatory administration, both of which were seen as promoting sexual activity in early adolescents and taking away parental autonomy.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has shown a willingness (in other areas such as gun control) to cite bogus research and self-referential citations to push political agendas. I canceled my membership in the AAP a few years ago for just that reason. I take everything they put out with a large grain of salt, including their advice to not use large amounts of salt (

He had been under surveillance for two years and the LEO were tipped that he was planning a suicide bombing during rush hour in a large city. When police went to arrest him, he detonated a bomb, but it didn't kill him, just injured him. He refused to surrender and was about to detonate bomb #2, when the police/swat forced shot him dead.
They knew what he was planning and needed the additional bomb expertise.

I pretty much didn't drink from Christmas till my honeymoon. I probably won't drink again till Christmas. It makes me gain weight so I only indulge on special occasions. Husband doesn't really drink at all, except for communion, so that does make it easier. If you're not around drinkers, I think it's a little easier not to drink. And I don't want to get fat. So there's that.

Latest fad alternative medicine thing in sports. They showed how it was done the other night, a cup is placed on the area needing treatment and a vacuum pump is placed onto the cup and attached via a valve. Sits there for a few minutes and creates enough suction that blood flows into the area(and tissue experiences microruptures, which is why you see the circular bruises). Supposedly creates enough blood flow to recover muscles quicker.
The bruises last for almost two weeks.....

Not exactly my area of expertise. The purported value of the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine predicated on the notion that there is a causative relationship between HPV and cervical cancer and that preventing HPV would reduce rates of cervical cancer later in life. The efficacy is I think, open to question. The political problems came in when it was being pushed toward younger aged girls (12-13) and was being pushed toward mandatory administration, both of which were seen as promoting sexual activity in early adolescents and taking away parental autonomy.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has shown a willingness (in other areas such as gun control) to cite bogus research and self-referential citations to push political agendas. I canceled my membership in the AAP a few years ago for just that reason. I take everything they put out with a large grain of salt, including their advice to not use large amounts of salt ( )

Thanks for your thoughts. I'll keep researching independently. My concerns are the relative novelty of the vaccine, it's concomitant lack of data on long term efficacy v. side effects, and that it's an "optional" vaccine in that it's not based on herd immunity the way MMR or other vaccines are.

You must be thinking of something else. Likely one of the herpes viruses, which is very common, and generally transmitted through innocent contact.
HPV is NOT something you want. For men, you can have it, and transmit it to your female partners, even when you have no evidence (or none you notice) of genital warts. For women, they can at times be first aware of it when they get an abnormal result on a PAP Smear.
Yes, there are varieties of HPV, and not all of them are associated with cervical cancer. The vaccine that exists is going to protect against certain varieties, and not others.
In all, it's worth having the vaccine. I do agree with Seamus though, the bigger ethical problem is the dishonesty with which it gets sold, and the fact that parents are being kept out of the decision making process.
That being said, teenage girls (and boys too) should get the vaccine. Unless they are NEVER in contact with other teenagers.

The first summer when I was home in Minnesota was that gosh-awful polio epidemic they had there. We admitted 464 proven cases of polio just at the University Hospital, which is unbelievable. And this was a very severe paralytic form. Maybe two or three hours after a lot of these kids would come in with a stiff neck or a fever, they'd be dead. It was unbelievable. It was just loads of people that came in, sometimes with only a fever but usually a headache and a little stiffness in the neck. And just absolutely terrified. At the height of the epidemic, the people in Minneapolis were so frightened that there was nobody in the restaurants. There was practically no traffic, the stores were empty. It just was considered a feat of bravado almost to go out and mingle in public. A lot of people just took up and moved away, went to another city.

Yes. I was diagnosed with polio when I was 6 months old. My parents noticed I wasn't kicking the covers off of me when I was sleeping in my crib, so they took me in to the doctor who told them, your baby can't move his legs. They don't know how I got it, the only thing the doctors could figure was that my mother had it when she was pregnant with me.
She was asymptomatic, though.

Got it, but I don't understand why a parent wouldn't want their kid protected from any disease. Is the idea that "my kid doesn't need to be protected from a sexually transmitted disease because I'm such an awesome parent" the reason? You would not only have to parent your own kid assiduously up to marriage but whomever they potentially have sex with throughout their lifetime. Getting it for them early, or the push for that, I have to assume is that many do start having sex early, so the standard has to be earlier than later if you want to stem a public health threat. Secondly, and this is from someone with a 24, 21, 18 and 12 year old, you have a lot more control earlier. Once they hit 18 they can just "not want a shot" or not understand.

If someone in contact with you was treated with the weakened virus inoculation it could have been passed on to you as a normal infection. This is also possible as a second-hand infection that someone in contact with you got from someone else who had been inoculated.
I was under the impression that babies carried a fairly wide immunity from the mother's array of antibodies that lasts a while, but if your mom had never contacted Polio she may have lacked any antibodies to it to pass on.
A quick trawl shows the weakened virus method was the Sabin vaccine and the real issue was with "insufficiently weakened" virus, and possibly people with poor immune systems. Sabin's technique also had individuals shedding viral particles in their feces, which would infect other people, just as un-weakened Polio would, and would cause secondary immunity.

They do, but the mom has to have immunity. I gave my 12 week old Chicken-pox because I had never had them. The first response of the medical community dopes when he got it was that he still needed a vaccine years later because his case wasn't "full" because he had my antibodies when he had it. I had to explain to them that when he had it, he didn't have any f-ing chicken pox antibodies because I didn't have ANY chicken-pox antibodies and that they should run a titer before giving him the vaccine. They did, at my insistence, arguing with me the whole time, and of course he had full immunity because he had had a full case of chicken pox.

Did you recover the use of your legs?
Posted by: Kindltot at August 11, 2016 11:45 AM (ry34m)
Partially. I used to have to wear braces on both legs, but when I was aboutt 4 or 5 years old, I could do without one of them.
What complicated things was that I also have one of the 4 varieties of osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease), so I broke my leg a number of times as a yoot. Without that, I might have been able to have a more complete recovery.

Porn is acting on our culture like an addicting drug. We need more and more of it to get the same high.
Posted by: OregonMuse at August 11, 2016 11:38 AM (BqKyT)
It is true. The trends in porn are ahead of the curve for the culture. Best example are girls that take pictures with their tongues out like they are getting ready or begging to get blasted in the face. Another example are the trends in cuckholding. I'm sure step siblings are banging each other by now and there step parents. Women teachers banging students
Porn died when Vivid lost the gold standard like Playboy. Now the gold atandarad is dictated by the internet, which really ruined porn.

I read somewhere that the new schlub (can't remember his name Edmund something? not Muskie) the never Trump segment of Republican Party was put up to keep the 6 Utah electoral votes from Trump. Maybe Utah a possible for HRC.

Yes.
>Got it, but I don't understand why a parent wouldn't want their kid protected from any disease.
Vaccines have side effects. They don't recommend every vaccine for every population for that reason. Otherwise we'd all be getting unnecessary, potentially harmful shots. The benefits have to outweigh the costs.
Not that I'm against HPV, I just would have wanted more data to start with and I am more cautious about new things like this. In 30 years, I'd love to see the results.

On the other, I hear they find sex boring and would rather play video games (guys) or shop (girls).

The desire to protect an individual from a particular disease hinges on the notion of certainty.
We deal with this uncertainty principle when it comes to requests for cardiac testing. I see parents who request (or demand) a certain test (e.g. echocardiogram) because they "just want to be sure". The practice of medicine however is based on probabilities. A simple medical history seeking symptoms or warning signs of a heart condition might reassure you with a 75% confidence level (made-up number for the sake of discussion). A physical examination listening for abnormal heart sounds might reassure you up to an 85% level of confidence. A chest X-ray and electrocardiogram might reassure you up to a 95% level. An echocardiogram might reassure you to a 98% level.
But just like Zeno's paradox, you cannot achieve a 100% degree of certainty in an uncertain world. And at each step in the sequential filtering process there is a cost (time, money, inconvenience) that must be born by somebody.
Point of diminishing returns.
The same principle applies to vaccines, and HPV is way down the scale in terms of confidence level compared to MMR/DPT, and others.
Whose decision should it be?

Kinda tend to believe it. Fantasy is probably endless and boundless, whereas participatory sex requires some level of engagement and effort. Don't think that's a strong drive anymore.

Exactly right. And I know a couple of men who have abandoned their wives because the p0rn they were into was feeding them false information about what sexual relationships were like and so they grew dissatisfied with what they had.

My ex brother in law was a pron addict and after he brought back a Malaysian whore from a business trip and they got divorced, I was amazed at what he'd been having my sister do for decades. It wasn't "sex," it wasn't intimacy, it was more sport. I don't really know how to describe it.
I had always wondered why she felt compelled to always always be dolled up in thongs and 5 in heels, etc. It was like their entire marriage was based on a porn fantasy. For those of you who think that sounds good, it's not and is a real unattractive gross 'look' on some 60 year old old goat who depends on her income for his weed and fast cars.

Right. The husband needs to understand his wife and make adjustments accordingly. But also the wife needs to make similar adjustments. It's all a part of getting to know and love one another so the marriage will be a happy one. And it doesn't happen overnight, it takes years.
A lot of crap thinking also comes in from "romance" books and movies where a couple falls in love and everything just sort of magically meshes together perfectly without effort.
It takes a lot more work than that.

Jean Dodds has been working in immunology with dogs and other animals for years and has largely been responsible for the AVMA finally accepting a 3 year vaccination booster protocol instead of the yearly.
Read up on how vaccines are developed and approved. The FDA only requires challenge studies to prove the effiicacy of a vaccine last a year. After that, there is no scientific determination for how long immunity lasts, and how protective a level of titer is. Because there is no money in researching that kind of interest.
So that is where, at least in animals, we had the "take your dog in for annual vaccination" meme that became the standard of care, and was legislated in many states to be required of anyone boarding a dog/cat, showing, etc.
Lots of information on her website. Not an antivaxer by any stretch.

Yeah, but I got it at 28 and I had a new born. I think I was naturally immune until I was run-down as hell. Picked it up in the grocery store b/c that's the only place I had been. I was never so sick. It's really miserable for adults.

Agreed.
The challenge is knowing how to calculate how "remote" the eventuality and how "minimal" the risk. That's a touch calculation, even for thoughtful people.
I also think the Gell-Mann amnesia effect should be kept in mind when considering "expert" advice from governmental or quasi-governmental groups.

Both hall-of-fame actors are basically in that one scene, although Hopper does another scene when Clarence and Alabama come to visit him, and Walken/Hopper absolutely grand theft with what is otherwise still a pretty kick-ass flick.
Walken is determined to kill Hopper, but knows he wont get any info out of Hopper in the process. Hopper knows he's going to be killed and is equally determined not to give up his son to the mob.
The small but decisive parts played by Brad Pitt, Gary Oldman and a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini also threaten to steal the film but the "Sicilian scene" tops them all, although I use the line "motherfuckin' Charlie Bronson" pretty much every day.
