ThurmasThoman Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Wow. I just took the time to read your entire post and you're nothing but an arrogant self centered presumptuous tool of the highest degree. You insult people and act like you're better than they are when the reality is that you know NOTHING about who these people are. In regards to the bolded and underlined, why are you here then? If you think so little of us, then go take your higher intelligence to someplace worthy of your level of douchery. You come onto a BUFFALO BILLS message board, and insult, the city, the owner, and the people who live here. So again, Mr. Intelligent, why are you here when it's perfectly clear you think nothing of any of us? No rebuttal necessary Ace. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 No rebuttal necessary Ace. Congrats. so much for intelligent debate, you have zero response to anything you've been factually called out on. Just further proves my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmasThoman Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Why do surgical options with no need for repeat treatment exist? Why should a child with a cleft palate be forced to suffer when Western medicine can fix the condition? Why should a child suffer an infection when Western medicine can cure it with antibiotics? At what point would I have indicated that those treatments aren't phenomenal, 100% necessary, and welcomed by all who receive them. You continuously refer to cleft palates... this really seems to be a spot of trouble for you. I'm sorry if at some point in your life you had to deal with that, and that is not something that any herbal supplement could ever cure. You seem to be willfully ignorant of the greater discussion at hand. Physical ailments that can be cured with surgical procedures have nothing to do with psychotropic medicine, SSRIs, and the massive medical/industrial complex that will suck you in with no questions ask, fill your RX, and send you on your way. IN FACT: it is the wonderful advancement of western medicine that has gone a long way towards eradicating some of the most crippling of diseases that have plagued our species. No one here is saying that there is not a place for Western medicine. But it is a tool, not an answer. There are other ways to solve problems that don't require western "medicine". And living a life of balance can prevent many of these diseases from arising in the first place. As for the mental piece, the act of spiritual healing for supersedes that of pharmacological intervention--but that can be discussed some other time. Perhaps western medicine can "cure" diseases like cancer "better"--but let's discuss the flip side of that coin: why are cancer rates 50% lower in Eastern countries? That is where holistic medicine can provide the answer: living a healthy life means your odds of dealing with these diseases in the first place are significantly lower. But, remember: spoiler alert--we all die! We are just flesh and blood. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. You can live a natural life of comfort and balance here that REDUCES the number of times you need to go to the doctor--but when those instances come up, OF COURSE western medicine has it's place. But even then, I would encourage you to explore your options. Off the top of my head, because I dealt with it this summer: tea tree oil cures athletes foot/jock itch/fungal infections in about a day or 2. It's all natural, from the earth, and effective. Tinactin and Lotrimin are filled with synthesized chemicals from god knows where, and require about a month of treatment. Different ways are out there, and are less intrusive, have less side effects, are more effective, and are CHEAPER. so much for intelligent debate, you have zero response to anything you've been factually called out on. Just further proves my point. I don't want to argue with you brother, because I can feel the rage building up inside of me, and I don't want to insult you. I'm sorry if you took offense to my original point--I did not mean to attack you specifically. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmasThoman Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 awww someone is afraid to react to their feelings. You've insulted everyone on this board, everyone in the city of Buffalo, why stop now? In the span of 3 posts, you've "insulted" me by saying that I am a higher intelligence than you, and too passive to get into a name calling contest with you. You are doing a great deal to both bolster my feelings and notions about myself, and reinforce the stance I took regarding the typical stature of the "Buffalo sports fan" that reflects negatively on the city and its populace. I thank you for "winning" this argument for me, in a more succinct manner than I ever could. Enjoy your evening sir, thank you for doing my work for me, and truly, God bless!

machine gun kelly Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Johnny You made so many personal attacks and then you wonder why you receive these responses. i live outside of Buffalo, but am so proud of where I came from, my family and friends and why this is the best fan city in the Us for the NFL. As far as wholistic medicine, your right. There is a place for Western medicine, and there is a place for supplements, and eastern remedies. I received nice relief for my back with Accupuncture a couple of years ago. With that said, supplements are not subject to the rigors of the FDA and do not have to prove what they claim. i am in medicine, and although I take a variety of supplements for my health, i also understand they are not regulated as Rx are for approval for treatments. Why are you surprised by these responses when you attack persons and their home, and they respond. That makes no sense. i have nothing against you, and just respectfully disagree with some of your positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 So....about Tom Brady partnering with a cancer-prevention fraudster.... I always thought Brady was rather slow. He may have smarts on the field (though it's more his cheating), but off it he's always struck me more along the lines of Bill Pullman's character in Ruthless People. It's simple: lazy out of shape people with poor habits want validation. That's right. We're all couch potatoes surviving on Cheetos and Coors Light, and all of this is about desperately needing your approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your body and your life so enjoy! I just think it's funny how when this topic comes up people on both sides get extremely defensive and want to post never-ending rants about how THEY are right. Fitness and diet basically a religion. Don't expect rational conversation. I'm just hurt nobody asked about my abs.

Mr. WEO Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 . No surprise to see WEO chime in on this discussion: he is the stubbed cigarette butt that floats at the top of that puddle of filth. He wears his moderator badge like some sort of Orwelian overlord, using his stoic stance of intellectual stubbornness to reign over discussions and ban, lock, or delete opposing viewpoints. Yet as your overlord, I have allowed you to post at my pleasure. Wait....WEO is a moderator??? I will neither admit or deny this. Anyone notice how you don't see johnygold and OC in Buffalo (who mistook me for...a lawyer!) in the same room at the same time....ever? I love TBD, not least for its penchant for encouraging certain posters to reveal the full-on crazy that hums along in society at a low level....until it leaps head first in shameless display in mundane threads like this!
