    Large explosion at Boston Marathon...

    They killed one of them tonight....massive manhunt underway for the second one. Apparently they were both together when found...one fled. If anyone is in the Boston area...anywhere near Watertown, take cover and stay alert, get informed....they are serious.

    On the constitutionality of being Homosexual

    Sooooo.... all of this gay, drama queen rhetoric you keep posting is basicly useless, stupid and irrelevant in the near future?

    Finally a judge with common sense..

    I have a question. If the egg is fertilized and it does become implanted...but the pill has also been taken. Is there no chance of birth defects or other complications to the fetus because of the pill being in the system? FWIW: I did not read the article and know very little about the pill. I...

    Refusing to cooperate with Border Patrol

    Those were my thoughts. I have never had a problem at the check stations. They ask a few questions and send me on my way. I have never felt threatened. If I find myself being falsely accused or detained, then I'll consider protecting my rights. Until then..I appreciate the fact that these guys...

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    I didn't endanger the patient's life. The patient...in this case, the patient's father chose to endanger their own life through stupidity. Nothing new about that. Sucks to be an idiot...or child of one! Lol

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    No doubt. I agree 100%. He was given his freedom to make a choice. At which time, if I were the administrator, I would have communicated to him his remaining options....NONE of which would involve removing the nurse based on the color of her skin.

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    But... that is my point. The hospital did not refuse care..they offered care. The care offered was refused...tough! Don't let the door ya on the way out. What if the hospital was staffed by 100% non-whites? Whatta ya do now?

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    Ok... I should have shut my phone off 2 hours ago. I gotta get around. We're not going to go anywhere from here. If I were the administrator, there would be one less idiot in my facility...whether he found adequate care and lived or not...wouldn't concern me in the least.

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    No sir...the patient is risking their own life. I didn't demand something stupid, they did. I've never made such an oath. I'm not sure that making an oath requires you to succumb to bigotry. Your oath is "do no harm"...what if the same guy pulled out a gun and pointed it at you?

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    It's not about the staff's feelings. It's about the fact that they offered competent care. Unless you can show me a qualification or a performance issue with that person, I would not allow a change based on bigotry. I just wouldn't allow it. I'm not sure that I would even allow a change based...

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    But they offered the care needed. The idiot chose to be an idiot and refuse it. One less idiot... would be my thought.

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    Yes...it is their problem...and they should take it elsewhere. I wouldn't allow if it I were the hospital administrator. Preference based on qualifications, performance...sure. Preference based on stupidity? the same door that let you in will let you out.

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    Personally...if it's my life...or a loved one's life on the line.... I couldn't care less what somebody's skin color is. I want to know who is best with that particular condition. It would be really stupid and dangerous to refuse treatment from a well qualified and proven provider because of...

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    But how does the person's skin color become involved in that life or death rationale? Some of the best and most caring nurses I had were black.

    Some patients won't see nurses of different race

    I think you have the freedom to choose who provides your medical treatments. But, I also believe that you don't have the right to demand a change of personnel at that particular medical facility based on anything other than performance. In other words, I believe the proper response from the...

    When heads of state use children as props.

    I joined the NRA several years ago. I believe it was during Bill Clinton's presidency. The Democrats were obviously pushing gun control and winning some of those battles. So, I thought I should join....and I did. Once I had joined though, I found that my membership dues were apparently not...
