"only used their fingers..." isn't warranted as physical abuse? That's just plain stupid, rape is rape. If I penetrate you with a finger or two would you be ok with it? if i had to chose between your fingers or your penis (and exposure to your body fluids), fingers would be an easy choice.  i am not at all excusing ...more

whats sad, and i do think it was pretty lame for "someone" to bust out the race card, is how this will affect poor people across all races.   regardless of race, people of low socioeconomic status have higher rates of obesity and smoking than people of higher socioeconomic status.  so, really, it's people who were alre...more

thank you reptile woman.  i also don't know how "unconditional love" is making someone suffer so that you can be with them.

how shallow they are?  how selfish are you to subject a kid to many many surgeries and likely a very poor quality life full of suffering?  not to mention the financial and emotional cost to the rest of the family.  be thankful you weren't in their position facing this decision

callin it real,   i doubt the truth of your comment unless there was something more going on.  ERs cannot turn people away and they are the main gateway to hospital admission

it blows my mind how ignorant the vast majority of americans are about health care.  i bet that its safe to say that about half of people that go to ERs do not have any insurance OR any intention of paying their bill when they get it.  it is a law that everyone who presents themselves at an ER be seen and treated, many...more
