Pssh. Compassion and forethought is for sissies and liberals.

HA! They'd probably think you're a man-hating lesbian, too, because aren't we all?

It is the inner meanness of the far right. They used to keep this level of sheer meanness to themselves, but in 2008, it was let out and has been their dominant policy ever since. It blames the poor for being poor, the sick for being sick, the hungry for being hungry, the unemployed for their layoff, immigrants for…

Well, if she didn't WANT TO DIE, she shouldn't have been born POOR!

Me? I'm going to keep enjoying pizza and burritos and sushi, even if it kills me prematurely.

No surprise. This is what happens when you live in a scientific illiterate society - instead of alchemy or magical potions we now have miracle diets, magical herbs/minerals that supposedly are "good" for the body - many of these silly fads lack independent research published in reputable journals.
