They were talking about this on Stossel last Friday on his episode about rising medical costs. He was discussing the benefits of letting the free market into medicine and direct primary care. Stossel makes the argument that by having government and insurance companies in between the customer and business, it lessens the quality of service provided. Additionally, he mentioned this medical service called Pager. www.cnn.com
It is a phone app that allows you to contact a doctor and they come to your house (like doctors used to do.)

I think it was "Bodoni MT Regular." Soon to come: #HATER, #throwbackthursday, "That is like tots cool", "That requires me to think, so no." (applies to other generations too) "OMG I'm like so random!", "Socialism sounds like a good idea!" (Again, applies to several generations,) "My opinion was swayed by a propaganda piece" (applies to early generations too.)

The thing is, most mentally ill people aren't violent. Yes, mental health care in the United States is pretty bad in comparison to other developed nations; however by approaching gun violence as a mental health issue, people are practically alienating the mentally ill. Here is one statement of many about this. autisticadvocacy.org

Commented on The Party's Over

I saw the article title, and I had to do this. www.youtube.com

"The Donald" makes me think of Mafia stuff haha. I'm really not fond of Trump, I think he's a bad idea. But even then, domain hijacking (in a loose sense, what happened in that case) is pretty low, but kind of funny.

Is this referring to the reiteration of the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act?

Also,"One of the best slogans we have seen in years comes from Donald Trump. It's simple and to the point. 'Make America Great Again'. He is the only candidate I have heard actually say that"

These are all flawed arguments. I'm working on an article related; be patient.

Exactly, you're trying to claim that a scientific theory (a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.)
Just because an issue exists doesn't mean it is, or should be, partisan.

Deatherage: This isn't a bipartisan issue, this is a sustainability issue. That argument makes utterly zero sense. Science doesn't care what belief structure you have.

Tony: You are now arguing word choice and possibility of circumstance. The avoidance of the word fact in science is a statement that we don't know everything, where as (idiots) in politics view things in absolute certainty... look where that got us.
I'm writing a really detailed article right now on this subject

1. A scientific theory is "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation."
2. Scientific consensus: climate.nasa.gov
3. You used the appeal to authority fallacy
4. "I offer you an alternative perspective. See things from all perspectives before you act. Ensure your truths are based on facts, not an opinion on fact. Seek that your truths are that of your own, not adopted from another. Follow these three things to avoid being a part of humanity's plight."
-Sabine Retlin
5. This explains better the nature of scientific research, something often misunderstood beaufortcountynow.com

“The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.”
- Neil Tyson, Astrophysicist.

You use the word "science" in quotation, implying that the evidence for climate change is invalid or entirely made up. I'll agree with you in saying Climate Change is just a theory. A scientific theory, just like gravity or Einstein's theory of relativity.

The theory of climate change isn't a "liberal money making scheme" as ignorant conservative propagandists will have you believe. Climate Change is a well tested scientific fact. 97% of scientists support this theory, this is something known as the scientific consensus, when an overwhelming amount of evidence supports a hypothesis. (Climate change in this context would apply to your disambiguation of "man made climate change")

Yes, the Theory of Climate Change COULD be wrong, but you know what else could be wrong? The theory of gravity, the theory of electromagnetism, the theory of radioactivity, the theory of relativity, the theory of propulsion. These are all theories that have a significant impact on our lives. It is your right as a citizen of a free country to believe what you choose, but if you choose not to believe something because it MAY not be true; shouldn't you ignore all scientific theories and resort to a primordial lifestyle since there is a slim possibility it might not be correct?

He is actually running for president this year! That was a real debate broadcasted on CSPAN in 2012. I showed him to my civics teacher as a joke and he gave me extra credit for it

This post wasn't particularly about the vaccine thing (I'll be going after anti-vaxers later ), rather people choosing not to observe definite truths, and choosing not to think for themselves. My point was, people are so easy to manipulate. You tell them a series of fabricated stories, then say a noun; that becomes their enemy.

@Ted McDonald whatever their special interest is at the time is a good indicator on career.

That's an autistic trait called Special Interests. Almost all autistic people have a few. Mine are space travel, Star Wars, and the fall of civilizations. I have friends with all sorts of special interests. roller coasters, potatos (yes), cats, psychology , it goes on and on.

Ted that's another massive topic, except I'm pretty sure what you're referring to is ABA therapy which is available in America, but that is very abusive actually and many autism self-advocacy groups are trying to get it banned. Some of my friends were put in ABA therapy, and all of them have PTSD from it (you don't have to be in combat to get PTSD, contrary to popular belief.)
Here is a video explaining the issue in a much better way than I can, by the same person who did the explanation video, because she explains stuff way better. beaufortcountynow.com

ASD can very in effect to educational progression, it honestly depends solely on how interested they are. I'm going to have to explain this in further detail in another post, as this is getting into something much too complicated to cover in a single comment.

What I'm trying to say is that this whole history of the confederacy thing is not taught in schools at all, just a very general overview. I don't agree in the Confederate ideas at all, and i think flying a confederate flag just makes people look unintelligent, but I do think it should be taught.

Because I relate too many current events to random historical facts.
Commented: Wednesday, July 1st, 2015 @ 10:37 pm By: Christopher Maye
Actually not really. Ask Dave, I have a strange amount of facts about World War II, particularly the rise and fall of Hitler. For example, did you know that the last footage of Hitler was during the Fall of Berlin? The Hitler Youth was reorganized as a last resort defense against the Ally invasion. Hitler was awarding medals to some teenagers who were fighting to defend the falling Third Reich. I could go on and on with this.
But what I was trying to say is that its rarely acknowledged that this history exacted.
As Winston Churchill once said, "History is written by the victors."

AUTISM IS NOT A DISEASE! I hate these idiots, there is nothing wrong with someone being autistic, stop trying to change them! There is nothing wrong with who they are you ignorant ableists. STOP REFERING TO ASD AS A DISEASE! IT IS NOT A DISEASE, IT IS NOT AN ILLNESS, IT IS A TRAIT! AUTISTICS THINK DIFFERENTLY NOT INCORRECTLY!

Also on the subject of pop news, this is about human rights not "OMG DID YOU SEE WHAT MILEY DID WITH THAT FOAM FINGER ON STAGE?!? THAT WAS LIKE TOTS EDGY." That is pop news, I'm talking about human rights. On my next articles, I have a plan to prevent misinterpretations.
Commented: Sunday, June 7th, 2015 @ 4:30 pm By: Christopher Maye
Okay, it seems I have a huge problem with people misinterpreting my motives... I have no interest in sex, it's gross and it is pretty pointless seeing as we are at high risk of overpopulation right now. I did this article because everyday on this site I see so many of you acting as though gay marriage will hurt you in some way. This isn't an article about sex, it is an article about human rights!

Now on the Subject of Caitlyn Jenner. That is a slightly different issue, but it is an LGBT issue, trangender. How I look at it, good for her; she choose to express who she is. I think people made a bigger deal about it then it already is, BUT DON'T BE A BIGOT ABOUT IT. Don't intentionally use incorrect pronouns, or their previous name, when referring to a trans person, it is quite rude. They did nothing to effect you.

That is the LGBT flag, it's for public use.

To some they consider freedom oppressing others by restricting them of natural rights. I'm glad that Governor McCrory made this decision on rights rather than his personal opinions, which is what he should do!.... Other politicians please take note
