I don't think they are falling asleep, I think they are slipping into insulin comas based on what they are eating.

... and the sugar coma that follows....

My guy has a parachute, an oxygen mask guess yours forgot to strap his on after he took off his spacesuit.

He also used the friction of the air to warm up nice and toasty.

A real man would do this without a spacesuit.

That real man would hit the ground limp with rock-solid, defrosting balls and quite the story to tell after his coma!

What, did you and smiley just wake up from a coma? 2006 - yeah, it's a good time to start stirring things up.

Hmm...So?

@rbar sorry I didn't see your last post. I think this UDHR is pretty noble but unknowingly evil, because it states that people have all sorts of rights, but what happens to the costs and demands those rights impose? To enforce them would imply a huge amount of force that would deny people of even more basic rights the declaration supposedly claims to protect. Take for example, "Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work". Does that mean the price of labor should be controlled?? By whom? To see that policy enforced, would be an egregious assault on economic freedom.

My ideal is a society where most if not all of these problems that socialists and liberals are also concerned about, like people's material needs being met, living happy productive lives, etc. are handled in an environment where the right incentives and freedoms allows creative solutions and resources to be best allocated voluntarily, rather than by mandates that are noble and well intended, and seem to handle the problem in the short run, but cause a lot more trouble than they are worth because they destroy this very environment in which society thrives.

Your video of Noam Chomsky commenting on Ron Paul's answer in a republican debate, "what if some guy is on a coma and he's going to die" to which he supposedly replied, "it's a tribute to our liberty", is a gross misrepresentation, that was never the answer Ron Paul gave. I'll bet Noam Chomsky wouldn't like to be paraphrased into saying the opposite of what he meant, he just understood what he wanted based on his own preconceptions.

Watch the actual footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMHY21VA8WE
(And please don't confuse a few members of the audience yelling "Yes!" with the position of the Tea Party (not that I care what they think) or Ron Paul's)

Before you talk about capitalism and democracy balancing each other out, you must first question what really happens when people are given economic freedom. A contrived scenario is playing out in your mind.

It's like if someone told you that if people had freedom of expression, people would just start spewing lies on top of lies and society would bury every shred of truth and dignity until it became unrecognizable. All I'm saying is that freedom of expression is beautiful, it's far from perfect, a lot of people will say terrible things, but it's a much better environment than censorship, and that it's not naive to expect freedom of expression to improve society with time, making truth more and more available and affordable to everyone, not only making our society more civilized but effectively raising our standards of living.

Only I'm not arguing about freedom of expression, but economic freedom.

This came out on the 12th, it's been days.

"But public Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed later by Bain Capital state he remained the firm’s 'sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president.'

"Also, a Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002. And Romney’s state financial disclosure forms indicate he earned at least $100,000 as a Bain “executive” in 2001 and 2002, separate from investment earnings."

And the source of this info, from the same article.

"Government documents filed by Mitt Romney and Bain Capital say Romney remained chief executive and chairman of the firm three years beyond the date he said he ceded control, even creating five new investment partnerships during that time."

I don't know about you, but sole stockholder, chairman of the board, president and CEO with 100% ownership and control sounds to me like he might have had something to do with it. Even if he was in a coma he had legal ownership and responsibility for it. The "I wasn't there" argument is a bit thin, and if he gave different info at different times between FEC and SEC filings he may have committed a crime.

Whoever can do this to anything that is clearly going to suffer and for the sole purpose of it suffering, they need to be put down as they are a very cruel individual.

As for the life aspect:

I think the argument for when is someone alive is very to similar for when is it time to consider pulling the plug on someone.

If someone can't survive on their own without extreme external measures, it really isn't a self sustaining life.

One day they might be able to cut off your head and keep you aware.....most people wouldn't consider that a life unless you could react or communicate. Much like a coma patient is not kept indefinitely once it becomes unlikely they will ever be able to function on their own.

A fetus up to a certain point is unable to survive outside the womb, it's more akin to a parasite at that stage....even though that sounds like a horrible comparison and isn't quite exact. But it's closer to a parasite than a carried to term baby if it can't survive outside of the mother's body. At that point it's a part of the mother's body and not it's own functional entity. Not that babies are particularly adept at feeding themselves or anything, but they won't die at any moment if left unattended for a bit.

Being so intense all the time must be tiring.


He masturbates himself into a coma sometimes.

"The Coma Supercluster brought to you by Coca-Cola."

They did a similar thing to operate on a brain tumour close to some guys speech centre I think. Had him talking and asked him to correctly identify shapes etc throughout so that they knew what they had to cut and what had to stay. If I remember correctly he went into a coma after the op but made a full recovery. Pretty amazing.

Also fuck flying cars, we have cyborgs right now.

I came here to say this. Rabies is no joke—well it is because people die, and that's funny—but it's not because it's very deadly...and like you mentioned, once you see the symptoms it's too late. I didn't think rabies was that big of a deal until my girlfriend did a presentation on it for a nursing class. In less developed countries it is a big cause of death.>> ^UsesProzac:

Man, part of me as a parent would insist on killing that squirrel just to be sure. Better safe than sorry. By the time symptoms have started manifesting, it's too late. They've come a long way in the treatment of rabies, what with inducing a coma and all, but brain damage is almost a certainty.
And the treatment, all the shots in the abdomen, best avoided.
If a wild animal comes up to you like that, you should always be suspicious.

Good advice! And be extremely suspicious if the squirrel opens the trunk of his car and shows you these brand new set of $700 Bose speakers that he is selling for $100. Being an animal lover, I fell for the scam and found out the hard way that it's still illegal to buy stolen property even if you didn't know it was stolen. Luckily I didn't get into trouble (much anyway). And of course, hindsight is 20/20 so I should have asked myself how someone who lives in a tree would need a sound system to begin with.

Oh well.
