Politics without a political slant – marublog

Stef, you are generalizing.

Just curious, do you know anyone in poverty or on welfare?have you ever lived or been in the inner citys of america?.If I had to guess your from an upper middleclass family?.

There are many people in the public sector who have pride of workmanship, and do the best they can. Often, they tend to rock the boat, annoy their supervisors, and fail to get promoted, and either quit in disgust or get relegated to the most demeaning and irrelevant positions.

And for every one of these dedicated people, there are 5 to 20 “time servers” who focus entirely on not rocking the boat and keeping their jobs and their pensions, and winning promotions.

Wait, what? Why would people working in the public sector have a smaller incentive to put in some effort? There is something called working pride, you know. This way of thinking that “no one does this job as good as I do, so I’d better not let anyone else have it by slacking off”.

You can go to the Freedomain Radio website. podcast number is 915 , Drugging Children.

Can somone tell me how welfare shaves iq points off children?

can’t believe i actually listened to this waffle. there’s no substance.

Human life span is decreasing. My generation won’t live as long as our parents.

Well, the difference between my projecting myself onto comic book characters and greens projecting themselves onto the government, environment, etc. is that my projection won’t be creating needless laws and state powers.

Thanks wholethinker.

umm yes I did quote it.. as I was replying to your posts one by one as I always do.
Be honest?? (not sure I like the insinuation there buddy)
How about being honest that it was YOU who attacked me (needlessly) initially?
In fact I can’t even see a post where I’ve ‘needlessly attacked you’..
please produce references

Anyway my point was that bugs develop immunity to anti-biotics.. much as WE would develop immunity to those bugs over time (without the antibiotics).

I researched the (invisible) pink unicorns.. & nope.. I’m afraid they haven’t been found.. but then they are invisible eh?
your point was? Oh no point.. just sarcasm.
Do that sarcastic BS one more time & I’m done.. come to think of it.. I’m done anyway.. it would appear there’s no more point trying to explain why people care about the environment to you, than to stef (who seems stuck in some weird Freudian pseudo-psychology of the 1800’s when it comes to.. umm.. ‘political analysis’)

There is a book on whatwemaybe dotorg with a wider vew:
“Future of Human Evolution” by J.Glad.

It might be of your interest, and it goes even farther than ejbh3160 does.
It’s about our grandchildren that ejbh3160 has mentioned.

“To clear things up before you continue needlessly attacking me: my point there was that the overuse of antibiotics does not automatically mean that antibiotics are useless. It should not be interpreted as saying that overuse does not increase antibiotic resistance, which is a real problem.”

You read that, because you later quoted that. Be honest.

“Research & you’ll see…”

Do this one more time and I’m done with you. If you don’t provide sources for your claims, you’re a waste of my time.

Pink unicorns have been found in Sri Lanka. Research it for yourself.

LOL!!
“before you continue needlessly attacking me”

oddly enough when I look back over this little exchange.. it was it was not I who was attacking you but YOU who stepped in & was attacking me… & for what? for stating that China & India managed to grow HUGE populations before ‘western’ medicine came along…
just more data.. silly me.

“the over-prescription of antibiotics in no way affects the actual effectiveness of antibiotics..”

You ARE joking I hope??

Everytime someone is prescribed anti-biotics who would have got better anyway.. the effectiveness of that particular anti-biotic is reduced because the bugs develop IMMUNITY…
gosh look even the bugs develop immunity.. do you think more complex creatures like human beings might do so too??

“is being phased out”.. oh yeah.. by when? You mean its still there.. but newer vaccines won’t have it..
What ALL vaccines or just some? Research & you’ll see…
The measles ‘outbreak’ is actually connected with loads of OTHER factors too… but let’s not let the data get in the way of selling more vaccines.

Fools always misquote.

I don’t care if a person is religious, I am a christian anarchist myself, my only problem is that there are some unsavory policies that I have seen from the US LP, not tosay it is all of it, but you can’t deny that there are people within the party that are more right-winged than most other Libertarian Parties would prefer.

I do like everything you yourself have listed being for and against, just overall, I am going to be cautious toward any American political party.

‘pollution isn’t a problem’

you are a moron

To clear things up before you continue needlessly attacking me: my point there was that the overuse of antibiotics does not automatically mean that antibiotics are useless. It should not be interpreted as saying that overuse does not increase antibiotic resistance, which is a real problem.

To continue: the over-prescription of antibiotics in no way affects the actual effectiveness of antibiotics in treating infection. Your point is moot. Do you somehow think that I’m advocating antibiotics be prescribed to everyone, even if they don’t need it?

The use of mercury (thiomersal) in vaccines is being phased out. Shows you know nothing about what you’re talking about. You accept celebrity, conspiracy theorist, and just plain uninformed views on vaccines, yet you attack me for my “blind acceptance” of the medical consensus. These “opinions” aren’t saving your life, and they aren’t saving the lives of the children in the UK dieing from measles outbreaks, which were controlled for decades until vaccination levels went down.

There are a few libertarians who are religious, but they all understand that they must never force their religion on others via the law.
The majority of libertarians are atheists and agnostics, in my opinion, and I don’t even think the D’s can boast that high a percentage.
I’m in favor of marriage equality and oppose federal attempts to make abortion illegal. I’m for free speech, and against the PATRIOT Act and middle east wars. But I want less spending and lower taxes, so I am a Libertarian.
