I'll continue to enjoy my free ride aka tragedy of the commons, and keep my blood to myself. It might be far more honest if they'd just fess up (the Red Cross is the prime mover here) and admit they don't test the blood from each donor but wait until much later to test it for all the pathogens, thus losing money on…

They're not banning blood from black women, who statistically have been a high risk group for well over a decade. Wonder why?

I'm gay and I'm ashamed the American educational system hasn't taught you to capitalize.

GLAAD? Groan... Ugh so tired of them.

Monogamy doesn't have to mean monotony, but in its traditional, heterosexual American form it's like watching paint dry.

You must be a straight woman.

This is why modern feminism in America doesn't work: American women have taken the old rules applied to them and in the interests of equality forced the same impossible to meet rules on men.

"She is a princess," he said. "It's all about her. She thinks she's the biggest dog in the show

Because women clearly do. Straight women after all, aren't exactly muff-divers.

There are worse times.

Someone needs to sit down with today's twenty-somethings, look them straight in the eye and say: "you're not perfect and you shouldn't demand others be".

But that's what's been discussed earlier, there's no certification or licensing regime at all. I don't think, based on the crunchiness of the profession, that most people would want that sort of rigor. Plus at that point, why not have a midwife, who are usually more hands on and fully qualified?

FFS there is medical data, including studies to support acupuncture, it's not something that you get to choose doesn't work based on your hippy dippy crazy pills.

Understatement. Newsfeed apparently is Kinja based and it barely loads sometimes.

It means the only people dumb enough to use them are women with money to burn.

I'm going out on a limb here but wouldn't a nutritionist have training and certification and/or licensing?

The most disgusting part of this is that hack Steve Harvey.

Chiropractors are often covered (they have good lobbyists), and acupuncture has medical validation. I can get you cites if you require for the acupuncture side, but it is limited to certain kinds of treatment. Most will not cover acupuncture for allergies, because there's no medical data to back it up, but they will…

Not to worry, that's next on the list for rich women.

Is she Irish or American? In any case tell her to mind her own or she won't have anyone to care for her in her old age.
