STFU, Conservatives: unethical medical practices & POC →
stfuconservatives.net
Today I lead a class discussion on unethical medical practices. The class had to read two articles: (1) on the 7 criteria for ethical research (which I thought was great, but never practiced) and (2) on the possibility of coercing American patients (the article implicitly…

I was a little bummed when I realized how hard it’s raining and how I don’t have an umbrella but now I’m not as bummed because now I probably don’t have to wash my hair.
“One stormy night I drove to a mailshop hidden deep in a nearly deserted stand of warehouses. I’d heard something was up and wanted to see for myself. As I rounded the final turn my eyes nearly popped. Tractor-trailers pulled up to loading docks, cars and vans everywhere and long-haired, earring-pierced men scurrying around running forklifts, inserters and huge printing presses. Trembling with worry I went inside. It was worse than I ever imagined. Row after row of boxes bulging with pro-homosexual petitions lined the walls, stacked to the ceiling. My mind reeled as I realized hundreds, maybe thousands, more boxes were already loaded on the tractor-trailers. And still more petitions were flying off the press. Suddenly a dark-haired man screeched, “Delgaudio what are you doing here?” Dozens of men began moving toward me. I’d been recognized. As I retreated to my car, the man chortled, “This time Delgaudio we can’t lose.” Driving away, my eyes filled with tears as I realized he might be right. This time the Radical Homosexuals could win.”

I can’t be the only one expecting an orgy scene though.
Bonus Withdrawal Puts Bankers in “Malaise” →

Andrew Schiff was sitting in a traffic jam in California this month after giving a speech at an investment conference about gold. He turned off the satellite radio, got out of the car and screamed a profanity.
“I’m not Zen at all, and when I’m freaking out about the situation, where I’m stuck like a rat in a trap on a highway with no way to get out, it’s very hard,” Schiff, director of marketing for broker-dealer Euro Pacific Capital Inc., said in an interview.
Schiff, 46, is facing another kind of jam this year: Paid a lower bonus, he said the $350,000 he earns, enough to put him in the country’s top 1 percent by income, doesn’t cover his family’s private-school tuition, a Kent, Connecticut, summer rental and the upgrade they would like from their 1,200-square-foot Brooklyn duplex.
“I feel stuck,” Schiff said. “The New York that I wanted to have is still just beyond my reach.”
The smaller bonus checks that hit accounts across the financial-services industry this month are making it difficult to maintain the lifestyles that Wall Street workers expect, according to interviews with bankers and their accountants, therapists, advisers and headhunters.
“People who don’t have money don’t understand the stress,” said Alan Dlugash, a partner at accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New York who specializes in financial planning for the wealthy. “Could you imagine what it’s like to say I got three kids in private school, I have to think about pulling them out? How do you do that?”…
I want to vomit all over the place
So not supporting gay marriage means your[sic] homophobic?
I don’t support it because blah blah blah. Not the point. I’ve hung out with gay guys and lesbian girls. One of my best friends in high school was lesbian. Still hung out with her and loved her to death. So that makes me homophobic? Please tell me I’m wrong.
No, it just makes you a bigot.
Well, maybe homophobic isn’t the word…but you’re wanting to deny human beings of a right is certainly something..yup, comment above got it right. Bigot.
Here I thought this was going to be an interesting discussion about radical queers and the idea of marriage equality as cultural integration into a culture they want no part of…but no
it’s just some straight dude being a straight dude. Knowing gay people doesn’t mean you aren’t a bigot. Have you told your friends? Have you looked them in the eyes and said “I think you should be legally barred from doing something you (may or may not in the future) want to do because of reasons. And because I’m a straight dude I obviously know what I’m talking about. But please, as I am so ~~~*~*~openminded~*~*~*~ tell me I’m wrong! I’ll totally take what you queers have to say to heart and not make it into an argument about how I’m not actually heterosexist! The way in which I framed this statement clearly shows that!”
guess what no one cares what your reasons are.
I want to wear yellow and blue today
I literally do not own a single piece of yellow clothing, nor do I have an accessories with yellow in them. I have a scarf with a bit of yellow, but it’s mostly brown and pink.
Whatever it’s not like any of the customers would get it anyway
Sometimes I think about animals a lot and get kind of overwhelmed at how cool they are and why they do what they do and how I just love them and I’m literally a 5 year ld who wants to grow up to be a vet because when you’re five vets just get to hang out with animals, they don’t have to know math or science or perform surgery or whatever it is vets actually do.
