And don't most authority figures you know give you those causes almost immediately? I have never in my life known someone who was in charge that deserved to be in charge.
Well what kind of in charge are we talking about? I had plenty of very respectable teachers, met a lot of very respectable cops even when being pulled over...
The skillset required to gain a position of authority is entirely different than the skillset required for managing that authority well. Monarchy had many issues but at least it was possible for a fit king to be just born into the role. It was also entirely possible for a complete loon to be born in instead...
- The evolution gap is widening, and homo sapiens are becoming the new monkeys. Most of the idiots I know have a porn addiction/jack off daily, and pretty much throw shit everywhere they go. - making women shave is weird and wrong, and I believe this makes people in our culture: depressed & possible pedophiles. - Professional sports are a joke, but I'm tired of it being around/ taxes spent but not returned - Nothing good comes from a law - I'd be happier with American Wars if we actually treated areas like offshore colonies instead of decades-long occupations, but I'd rather we just had state militias without a national one. - I stopped wearing my hearing aids seven years ago because I like the world more when I can't hear it. - The primary elections are a sham - I like the feeling of a flower high more than a concentrate high, most of the time. - cannabinoids are essential to health and endocannabinoid deficiency is a major cause of chronic and degenerative disease. Doctors that don't prescribe cannabis are greedy and enjoy seeing their family and friends sick and dying.
I don't see the appeal of the 'Post Your Thoughts' thread. I felt like we were getting a few more interesting threads than usual in the short span that it was shut down, too.
I don't feel all that warm and gushy about a guy that trades 5 enemy commanders for a fucking deserter also making a secret (unwritten???) agreement with the largest exporter of terror in the entire Middle East as to WHEN that nation can have nukes. Can have nukes??? Are you fucking nuts?! When that fucking nation finally acquires nuclear capabilities along with the ability to spread them to all their favorite militant orgs, then the world will start to witness the ramifications for having wimpass, delusional bullshitters for leaders. Can't have that shit in this age of insane hatreds and zealous desires for mega-infidel-killing power.
I think the worst thing you can do in life is to desperately try to fit in and be accepted. Following the path of other followers just leaves you a mediocre Joe.
Instead of opting in to be an organ donor, you should have to opt out. Too many organs that could potentially save a life are wasted because people have to sign up to become a donor. A lot don't, and then suddenly it's too late. You die, and someone who could really use that liver or heart, or whatever it may be, can't get it because someone didn't sign up to be a donor. Even though they would have been for it! It's ridiculous, it should be mandatory unless you specifically request that they're not removed. You don't need them when your six feet under!
That's the way it is in Spain and Austria, if I'm not mistaken. In the US, organ donation is really the deceased's next of kin's call. Even if you're listed to be one on your license, your family is still asked for permission, assuming you have one. If they're traditionalist and oppose it, it doesn't matter what the deceased's wishes were, unfortunately.
Where in the US? As far as I''m aware (and I just checked again) the donor thing on your license counts as a legal contract. Your family's consent is not required, though they will be asked to provide important info about your health, and so can make it more difficult if they wanted. They can't completely stop it. At least in Virginia and DC, but i think there's a federal law
I'm sorry, I was off on that. The family's consent does not legally override an individual's donor status. However, a physician or donor agency can choose to refuse to take a person's organs when the family is opposed to it, even if they are listed as a donor. Probably to try to avoid a lawsuit or something.
Despite the fact I saw how much people prefer joints over blunts on this site, I fucking love blunts there is nothing like smoking a blunt after a stressful day to me
