Thanks for the promote. Eric3579 gave me the link to this -- it is cracking me up that it is catching all these promotes now.

I thought it would languish!

it is a bit long. But there are some gems in this. I promise.
+ Puppets are cool


They aren't puppets... they're muppets. They like to make that distinction.

This one is good, searched for my brother, a list of TONS of army dudes with his name and he was the first on the list. and i didn't need to know his bday, only his first name last name and branch. if he isn't on the list here, it would seem that he's never even talked to a recruiter. not the best proof though maybe if your sis-in-law is smitten.

edit: it seems to depend how old his service is. for instance, brother was in the database but my father (who's service is considerably older) isn't. >> ^MycroftHomlz:

This one is pretty good... It seems I cant find him on either site.

That databate doesn't seem so great, i just entered my brother, i know everything but his SS# (middle name, dob) and it couldn't find him. and i know for a fact he's a veteran. >> ^MycroftHomlz:

Someone has to defend science, why not a scientist. For the record, I personally do not use any animal models in my research. I am physicist. Do you take any medication that ameliorates the side effects of Parkinsons?

I will just say that you value certain things above others that have limited ethical grounding.
>> ^MycroftHomlz:
I think it is naive and hypocritical to on one hand use modern medicine and curl the other to a fist to bash its teeth in. You can't have it both ways. Sure it is sad that we have to use animal models. The best we can hope for is that they are treated as humanely as possible and their use is tightly regulated. All of which is true in the current paradigm.

My best friend has MS. I have a form of Parkinsons. I have had cancer and survived.

I am also studying bioethics at Monash.

Judging by your overly defensive nature even before any retorts you are clearly not at ease with the ethical decisions you have made. I won't lecture you. Rather I will just say that you value certain things above others that have limited ethical grounding.
>> ^MycroftHomlz:

Do you have friends that have AIDS or HIV? Do you know someone (or know someone that knows someone) suffering MS? Parkinsons? Dushanes? Has anyone you known every gotten cancer and survived? Are you vaccinated? Do you take antibiotics when you get sick? Do you know anyone who has been the recipient of an organ transplant? Do you upvote Michael J. Fox videos?
Ask yourself these questions before you question how I sleep...
