YESYESYEEEEES.

And I LOVE music videos that actually have clear stories in them. We do not get enough of those anymore.

That's why you hire a bunch of oiled up shirtless men to carry you from room to room on a platform

Sounds like a dangerous hypothesis to test...

Great. More sanctimommy crap heading our way.

"For those with multiple children, the first child results in a 9.5 percent drop in performance, the second child cuts out another 12.5 percent and the third child caps it off with an 11 percent decrease in productivity.

That's been my experience as well. Still anecdotal, but I can't count how many times I've been asked to cover for parents going to soccer games, or assigned to teach sucky night and weekend classes, or fewer classes, because I don't have kids and therefore don't need money or a livable schedule.

Here is an argument I once heard: "What right does government have to tell parents how to raise their children?"

I am not living in fear of modern medicine or claiming that vaccines dont work, if you are in a risk group(pregnant, elderly, BMI above 40, got chronic deceases, and so on) or spend a lot of time with people in the riskgroups , GET VACCINATED . This is what the British , German, and the 3 Scandinavia Health…

It's awesome that you go to a support group, and yeah, I agree. As frustrating as Jenny McCarthy is, saying that it's her cocaine and drug habits (or bringing up that she was in playboy) have very little to do with autism.

Anti-Vaxxing is actually a lot more prevalent among the more highly educated than it is among other people.

Jenny McCarthy is somewhere around 42 NOW, and her kid is 12. Leaving McCarthy aside, plenty of people get pregnant without any scientific intervention at 42 and beyond, and though the risks do increase as women age, the vast majority of women over 35 have healthy babies. The way to fight the McCarthys of the world…

I hear you. Anti-vaxxers are sad idiots.

"Scientists discovered this One Weird Trick for eradicating Smallpox!"

What's really in question here is just how effective flushots are; judging by the experience of people close to me who had it for a couple of years, it did them more harm than it did good, having them catch a really nasty flu instead of preventing it. The parents in this anecdote are actually smart to question the…

Come now, are you saying that Smallpox was eradicated by these so-called "vaccines" instead of a lost green-coffee-bean-extract formula developed by a Yogi who meditated while only consuming mountain spring water and the fragrance of Himalayan salts?

I think that's a little unfair...

The point of the whole damn ad was pointing out that Abbott is disabled. The empty wheelchair, for instance. None of the specific cases she was talking about in that ad involved a person in a wheelchair, so the wheelchair was pretty clearly a reference to his disability. Also, starting out the ad with "A tree fell on…

Eh. I was a big fan after the filibuster, but after her ableist nightmare of a campaign ad (followed by a press conference where she used disabled people as props), I'm over her.

The point of my comment was not to say that 2% of inspections is optimal. I don't work for the FDA, so I don't see their figures.

Question: What percentage of inspection would you consider acceptable, and how did you arrive at the figure?

Crazy as it may seem to you, the FDA quality control process is no different than, say Apple's quality control process.

In other words, they take samples, look at how many defective products are in that sample…
