Let's be honest: most of the countries that discredit these findings also think that having sex with a virgin will cure your AIDS.

$50 for a printer is pretty cheap, if you don't have one.

The only non-mechanical that I'll use are laptops.

On one side of my family, deaths have been 90% cancer (10% accidents. no old age, barring one case of severe dementia). On the other side it's been 80% heart failure (With the rest being accidental deaths and a few congenital diseases. Again, no old age). My family makes TONS of jokes about these topics (on of the…

Hmm... that's actually not a half-bad idea.

As a comment: I think that they could have a Supergirl show unconnected to the Superman movies and be fine, WITH the caveat that they would need to keep the Kryptonian backgroud relatively intact because it would make absolutely no sense to have Superman movies and Supergirl tv episodes happening at the same time with…

I... would probably watch this. I have a very hard time seeing how they would integrate it, though.

I'd argue that any charges of neglect are due to the fact that they removed the child from treatment, without medical supervision, and without care already arranged at another hospital ("as soon as we sell this house" isn't really a good plan).

No amount of clenching is going to help after that much oil.

You'll get occasional sights here in the UK of people who are obliterated drunk who order meat and chips in those little styrofoam containers and then eat the whole think like a sandwich.

My point is that "just leaving with the kid who is only surviving through a feeding tube without any proof that you intend or are able to keep him alive" is not the wat to go about things. I completely agree that if they were capable of paying for elective procedures that could have a higher chance of success...…

The "order of protection" is something that I've seen mentioned in one article. Ironically also the same article that mentions that chemotherapy was proposed after the kid's major brain surgery. If they wanted to move the child to a different hospital for elective treatment, they should have established this in…

The parents have no medical knowledge. None. If they didn't at least have a registered nurse with them, then they might as well have been using Prayer and Google.

The article linked by Ruiyyanko above references chemotherapy, which I think is a significant point.

Sometimes getting a glass of water requires leaving the room. This is not a foreign concept to most people.

"Just recovering from the giant fucking hole in his head, and the emptiness underneath" you mean. The simple fact of the matter is that parents are obligated to make and explain choices for minors as necessary. Deciding to disappears with the kid makes as much logical sense as shouting "chocolate pudding" and…

Not being an oncologist, I'd have to do some research on radiation dosages (assuming that there are are actual figures available). I do, however, doubt that it was suggested to expose the kid to unnecessarily harmful levels of radiation; if anything, I would expect that the preferred treatment was more localized…

Sure. But there are two parents. The possible outcome of one of them leaving temporarily is hurt feelings. The possible outcome of taking the kid on an illicit joyride is death.

...you're an absolute moron, you know that, right?

Yes, I'm obviously not a parent due to me belief that taking an extremely ill, post-surgical-op kid out of treatment, smuggling them out of the country while you arrange a buyer for your vacation house. I am perfectly aware of all the points you have raised here; you have completely missed mine.
