Goddamnit. More comments from the friend who's doing a project about Muslim Americans. And no, I have no idea why she repeats herself in the middle.

Also, I had no idea you could get "decent pussy" by converting (well, reverting) to Islam.

People in jail are ripe prospects for conversion. The number of Christian "prison ministries" is enormous. How dare those Muslims get in on that sweet sweet prison action?

One of my "friends" posted this gem recently:


The lines "I just read a post that was so upsetting to me. people are so closed minded and stuck in their own bubble that something so big to society can be so small to one group, community, or person" are interesting to me, because she is someone, who has shared racist memes (one literally from a page titled "racist"). She is also a nurse, who has written a status to the effect of "I'm glad I haven't gotten a flu shot in five years". I tried finding the flu shot status, but I was unable to find it when writing this post, so perhaps she realized it was a stupid thing to write, but I doubt it.

But fundamentalist christians are against insurance to the same degree - and for the same bible verse reason - so surely if it was true then they'd be exempt too

unless they're not christian enough :smug:

e: it provides no such exemption - although the republican amended version did, although it makes no mentions of muslims specifically - the final version had that attempted scuppering removed.

They're judge the biggest shipping company in the world, it's what they do. That's not even the first triple E, anyway.

They do have a pretty good social media program though, but really that's outside the scope of this thread.

Along those same lines, this is a woman I am/was friends with. She was always liberal leaning, albeit a bit confused about politics in general. Lately though she's been posting some Rand Paul poo poo and stuff about how it's unfair to tax the working to the breaking point just to give it to people who refuse to work. She is the OP in both pictures.

I can't wait for Obamacare so I can actually afford medication and ER visits. I can pay doctor visits out of pocket. I'm more disgusted by the lack of health insurance coverage from jobs. I thought my family was a special case growing up because my father worked freelance. But it's poo poo all over.

I'm already pretty furious about the idea of having state-funded armed enforcers monitoring our children, but it's worse still to see stupid NRA motherfuckers thinking this is actually a good idea. Because the best way to handle a growing police state is to pay the police to watch your children with loving guns. Because that won't affect learning at all!

Vaccines cause autism people!!!!!!! I don't know the commenter, but I'm pretty sure their "research" consisted of reading holistic medicine websites and following Jenny Mccarthy's Twitter.
Doing some research on the article (which is a copy-paste from another ~natural medicine~ website), the author is making some jumps from vaccines to autism. The short of it is that the parents claimed their kid started showing symptoms of encephalitis after receiving the MMR vaccine. Said symptoms occurred within 15 days of receiving the MMR vaccine, which was within the window of time allowed by the court for there to be a correlation. As such, the case was settled in favor of the parents.
The vast majority of the documents related to the hearing and decision are sealed. All we have to go on are what the parents are saying and the information from a few medical exams after the vaccines.
How do people so easily jump to ridiculous conclusions from an obviously biased source?

Couldn't even be bothered to redraw, either - the top and bottom pictures are identical except the bottom picture has the gun arm tacked on. It's the sort of thing I'd expect to see pop up in the CAD thread.

e: And I think the second arm up until the hand is just the first arm copied and rotated 120 degrees. And the hand looks like poo poo and they clearly copied in the gun from elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure the insurance agencies are all just raising their rates in preparation for when Obamacare kicks in. They won't get to randomly drop people anymore or refuse to cover people for things related to pre-existing medical conditions.

Healthcare reform for Dummies posted:


Ending of long-standing rate rules: Insurers will no longer be able to base your premiums on your sex or salary. (Females are typically charged higher premiums than men. Also, in some cases, the more you make, the lower your premiums.)

Insurers also won’t be able to charge you more because of your medical history or current health status, genetic information, or because you’ve been the victim of domestic violence.

Insurers will still be able to take into account your age, geographic area, family composition (such as number of people), and tobacco use when deciding how much to charge you for your insurance coverage.

My ex-husbands company was forcing everyone to take some mail-in blood test. Apparently, if you don't send it in, you get charged an extra $50 a month for insurance. I have no clue what they were testing, and we got divorced before I had to send mine in, but it just seemed really loving odd. Granted, I had to have a blood test to try to get life insurance, but at least I knew exactly what that was going towards and what I was being tested for.

The blood test for the health insurance made me :tinfoil:, since it's not like we were going to get a copy of the results of whatever they were testing for, even though it wasn't going to be an anonymous sample. We had to fill in a personal info.

Now that I'm looking at it again I think the original was just the top part, and some gun nutter shopped it because he was mad at the original suggesting that teachers don't need 9mm.
