doctors

Got a lot to say but I'll keep it brief-ish. Corporations love unhealthy people. They will artificially celebrate this and reinforce unhealthy lifestyles. This extends beyond weight.

Once entrapped, escape is hard. Some are passive and depressed. Some are dismissive and defensive. No matter which cycle you are in, it's unhealthy.

I think smoking is bad like I think being overweight is bad. If a doctor says alcohol is killing you, it probably is. I don't think hatred is deserved, but don't expect any validation for those choices.

Missouri legislature votes to ban child marriage, raising age to 18

Rep. Hardy Billington, R-Poplar Bluff, was among the few who spoke against the bill, arguing that barring pregnant teenagers from getting married would increase abortion rates.

“We all claim to be pro-life here in the body,” Billington said. “Now we’re going to vote on this bill where babies are going to die.”

Disgusting. What a pitiful excuse to enable the trafficking of children. I'm ashamed to live here. There's no fucking guarantee that it would even increase abortion rate, this guy is a closeted pedophile looking out for his ilk.

Apparently he's been spouting this bullshit for at least the past year. Not to mention he's also a homophobe.

I grew up in the Midwest as a child of a Mexican and American. By 16, I was regurgitating Ben Shapiro anti-immigration rhetoric. Why?

The same reason anyone is racist. I grew up around it. The people I knew and loved were white and that was reflected in the media I was exposed to. Subliminal messages and implied suggestions over entire childhood. They might claim they don't like the illegal, but the truth is that they've internalized the hatred of the culture they identify with.

US deports teen soccer star to Honduras days after his high school graduation

I don't know what's worse. Deporting children to a country they've never seen or deporting people who've been here longer than some of us have been alive.

You can come on a visa, seek asylum, overstay. It's not improper entry or illegal presence, it's exempt for asylum seekers.

ICE is arresting people who are coming legally. People who never chose to come here. People who've done everything right.

USA deports 4-year-old US-children with terminal cancer to Honduras - without medication and contact to doctor

Reply in thread

The federal judge in the state of Louisiana, Terry Doughty, appointed for the 16th century. May a court hearing in “ in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the government has just deported a US citizen without appropriate proceedings.” The US government argues that “all that it was all right” because the mother, who lives without valid residence papers in the US, had expressed the wish that the child would be deported with it. “But the court does not know this,” the judge said. At the same time, Doughty pointed out that the deportation of US citizens was “illegal and unconstitutional.”

You're arguing to deport a terminally ill American citizen out of state. We don't have to kick out the mom just to scratch our racist itches.

ICE Imprisons Danish Dad of 4 at Citizenship Interview

It almost looks like a case of friendly fire by detaining this white hunter, anti-vaccine mandates, Mississippi resident. It's almost too deliberate holding him for a month in facility that has rodent feces issues when he was about to get his papers. No criminal history and wife with high risk pregnancy. I'm sure Fox isn't going to talk about this one.

Young woman's strip search at festival akin to 'sexual assault', court told

Failure to train my ass. Those bastards are completely aware of what they are doing to these women and taking advantage of their own authority. This country would rather see these pigs kill their house pets and sexually molest their own kids before ever demanding a shred of accountability. We've all seen the type of shit that gets posted to bad cop no donut on the daily. The benefits to working that kind of job is bound to continue attracting more assholes.

Edit, need to back up. American here. Is this a problem in Australia too?
