There are definitely issues to be worked out — it's basically giving drug companies access to free human guinea pigs, for one thing. That said, what I've read about it applies the bill to scientifically researched drugs that have been proven to not harm and maybe help; real drugs that have not gone through the full…

Yeah, this is really scary. A totally valid and important piece of legislation is going to get tarred with a lunatic Libertarian brush and people are going to reject it wholesale without understanding what it's about.

The laws allow patients to request drugs that have passed the first clinical trial stage – the one during which scientists determine whether a drug hurts people, not whether it can cure them. Just because a drug passes the first clinical trial does not mean it eventually will gain FDA approval.

I want a list of all the monsters who starred your comment. Immediately.

SHUT UP FLEFF

Nevermind, this was the greatest move pulled on me because apparently I can't read. I've never pick anyone up because I'm incapable of flirting so on any given day I'm either celibate or have recently crossed paths with a forward guy.

Alemi recommends making a run for the northern Rockies. While not an entirely practical implication, it's "fun to know," he says

This is an excellent point. I think they should set up a video camera in a confession booth in the Gawker Media office and everyone has to go in and fess up.

Yeah, but Jia what color do you think the dress is?

I feel like I missed an important cultural moment here. People will ask in years to come where you were when the Llamas Were Loose and I'm going to have to mumble "I missed it, I was on a conference call"

I am in no way saying that Christianity shouldn't be mocked. All religions should because they are silly. Mock away.

Because unless someone is imposing their beliefs on you, you should respect whatever ridiculous mind games they play to get them through the day —- including worshiping a power that you may or may not believe in. These girls are not making a statement about the Christian belief system, they are mocking the losing…

Before anyone gets to compiling, what concerns are you looking for, exactly? Ones involving the ramifications of adults cheering children's disrespectful behavior and mocking of others' belief systems? Or reinforcing this behavior in teenagers who will soon decide whether they want to be asshole adults? The…

That's the RAD Manual tl;dr

There's some elaboration if you click the link — that's just a snapshot.

Reminds me of this debacle.

the researchers specifically mention that this is a jumping off point and further research is under way. Hopefully some progress is made.

Yeah, I touched on that elsewhere —- the idea of women becoming hysterical is definitely pervasive in society and can keep them from seeking medical care (the belief that no one will take you seriously is a powerful demotivator). That's undeniable and almost certainly a factor with young women who will assume it's…

sometimes being a woman really blows, Huh?
