If not for that press conference, are you saying Whaley would still been employed as the GM? Scary thought if true.

Oh yeah? Do tell.

So if a soldier in uniform, which represents not the soldier individually but the U.S. Army, whom is on a military base which isn’t privately funded either, kneels during Reveille or the anthem that is okay with you right?

I came from a family of 6 kids, I went to private school until third grade where the tuition was just too much for my parents to afford, to homeschooling until 9th grade when I was given the option to decide if I wanted to go to public school. I was part of a homeschooling group that got together but the other kids were just socially awkward, but there were Boy Scouts and other activities to help with that problem. I never liked being homeschooled, I think you need to learn to deal with people, because you will be dealing with people most of your life but I can see the advantages for example in college I was in class with two homeschooled high school students that were allowed to take some college elective classes like my public speaking class. It it all depends if the parent is a good teacher as well and how the student learns.

My main department is chemistry, I’m not in a research lab, so all I do is report the results. I do enjoy conversations like these, societal issues that have medical implications, and conversations like today remind me to brush up on some theory I may have forgotten along the way, cheers to you.

Yeah your correct, that’s my bad, most likely transmission would be breastfeeding or if there wasn’t a C-section done. That was stupid of me. And I agree carelessness is behavior but those things do happen.

My answer would be yes, with one or two exception. These exceptions are HIV is what we call a retrovirus/reverse transcription virus so simply put it makes a copy of itself into your DNA. So any offspring afterwards could be infected. It it would be the parents behavior fault not the offsprings. Another case would be in the hospital, myself or one of the phlebotomist could accidentally prick ourselves by accident when drawing blood, the viral load would be small, but it could happen. One more exception is in bloodbanking department, for transfusion but it’s so rare something that big would be missed I wouldn’t include it.

The nomenclature disease is synonymous to a viral infection, I mean we can split hairs about the terminology, you see it as syndrome and I see it as stage 3 in HIV.

None of those kill you with a healthy immune system. Those are what we call opportunistic pathogens. That is my point the actual HIV virus isn’t what kills a person, it’s an opportunist pathogen after the immune system has been weakened. In fact Kaposi Sarcoma was an indicator that HIV was an immunosuppressive disease, elderly usually are the patients due to a weakened immune system, but young men that seemed healthy had this skin lesion. Which in turn asked the question why does a young person show an elderly patient disease.

Well hopefully we continue to research it, but prevention is the best option either way.

It would probably blow some folks minds that HIV/AIDS doesn’t actually kill you.

You did know Obama was a smoker, right?

So this isn’t really a thing with global warming, as it is introduction of a species where it isn’t usually endemic. Now I see your trying to go with rising temperatures but East Asia is a temperante zone, so it’s not a stretch to see a tick survive in similar conditions even if it’s not endemic to that area.

Very interesting, looks like they are on their way medically.

You would have to have FDA approval, along with the DEA It would be hard, but I’m sure somebody is willing to do it.

It may not possess addictives, but it sure does seem hard for people to just quit, for example football players that get paid millions of dollars and still can’t pass a drug test.

This is such a good point. When they say it’s natural, so is tobacco, poppy plants, foxglove plant. When they do these studies for medical use, are they keeping track of the genetic strains of these plants? Will the effective doses really be more theuraputic when it’s all said and done? I almost hate to say it but every time I see a study it reminds me of reading a homeopathic article

For a drug to be used in a medical treatment to be effective it has to have maximum theauraputic benefits with minimum adverse side effects. A route of administration is another factor the fastest being IV administration. Oral in particular pill form is a popular one. So if the FDA one day wants to approve marijuana for medical treatment, you all realize you won’t be smoking it right? It would be probably be in pill form. My point is if you want legalize it for recreational drug use go for it, but if all you want to do is smoke it, medical angle might backfire.

So let’s say Mr. Barnett does dismisses his negative writers. He hires new ones, would the message change? Is is it the writer or is it your bias as a fan? Does a fan ever want to hear the negativity of their favorite team? I live in Pittsburgh, you would think there wouldn’t be any criticism or negative vibes because of their success, but you would be wrong, especially after a loss. We have a unique situation where someone has reached out and included fan columns, you want to voice your positive angle do so. Or is it just easier to complain about writers?

The poster had a good point that football wasn’t invented for children, I see their point and it makes sense. We we have adopted it as part of our culture, and their view is children play football as they would playing doctor. To some people football is more than a game and I can respect that view. I also get the annoyance of drunk rowdy fans, but rowdy fans are part of the live game experience, Could you imagine watching a steeler game without seeing those terrible towels?

Thats a good point, I just always associated football as a kids game because of backyard football when I was 10, or a kid receiving a football for a Christmas present. But it thinking it through, I also had an archery set and .22 when I was 12 and those things are not really for kids either.

If I get paid to play chutes in ladders with a bunch of other guys in their 20’s and 30’s in a highly competitive environment does chutes and ladders stop being a kids game?

So peewee football doesn’t exist? And your age limit pretty much proved my point, your considered old past your thirties in the NFL, the NFL is nothing but grown men yes, but they are young men and are playing a game they played when they were in single digits in age.

Well if we all want to be adults all the time maybe we should get rid of the NFL, it is after a kids game.

Seriously! Mad at grown folks acting juvenile at a venue where grown men get paid millions of dollars to play a..........juvenile game.
