This is also my experience. The one at Wade Green Road and 75 can be a shit show at times. Confused drivers hesitate which seems to cause a lot if minor accidents. Hopefully, as these intersections become more common, everyone will get more comfortable with the odd feeling of being on the wrong side of the road.

It is impolite to call people regarded. /s

Half of all railway engineers have killed people with their trains? I feel as though I would have heard more about these crazy engineers and their murder trains.

Why would Pam Grier (Jackie Brown) not be allowed in a women only gym?

You do have this choice. If you want one then choose to buy one.

<quote><p>Used to live with 3 cats and between them, they'd kill a bird every couple months, and those are just the ones I knew about. One of them actually ate the birds and once bagged a hummingbird.</p></quote>

Respectfully, how could you possibly know? If you saw them kill three then you have a minimum number, the actual number is surely unknown.

<quote><p>...and humans kill how many more creatures than cats?</p><p>I'd estimate 100m chickens are eaten daily worldwide.</p></quote>

Right or wrong this is classic whataboutism and completely irrelevant.

<quote><p>I have never understood the mentality of one who professes great fealty to their deity to guide them through the trials of life such that they shun modern prevention, and then subsequently run to a hospital to seek modern medical treatment. If your belief is that your great creator(s) are the ones who will save you from affliction, wouldn't it make more sense to instead run to your house of worship and give alms, hymns, and/or prayer?</p></quote>

That is why I have the tiniest bit of respect for Christian Scientists and the like when they just let themselves die. Oh, to be clear, I think they are idiots but at least they seem to believe in their nonsense. The worst are people who do what you described which is talk a good game but never back it up with action.

Well, they are the 2nd worst. The worst on the ones that force crazy on their children.

<quote>Vaccine-derived strain. So if the spreader had been an anti-vaxxer this wouldn't have happened?</quote>

No, almost certainly not. This idiot was caught in a perfect storm of stupidity mixed with bad luck.

Had he had the non-live virus vaccine here in the US then would have been (almost entirely) protected from the virus whether it came come an infected person, a person who received the live-virus vaccine, or a random sketchy goat.

While the live virus vaccine has its issues, it is generally considered better than nothing and a shit load better than praying the polio away. At least they still try injecting bleach.

Even if the person is an adult, child protective services should force* the parents to live in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives for not vaccinating their child. This is\was\and is again abuse.

*Unless there was a VALID reason that the child couldn't get it.

<quote><p>A principled argument for redistribution here is missing: why should the taxpayers or other subscribers pay that $27K to service a single customer?</p></quote>

Because they sanctioned the monopoly from which Comcast benefits. The taxpayers (via the government) may also be able to force Comcast to pay for this. It would depend on the wording of the monopoly allowance.

Does your refusal to pay also apply to my liberal arts degree? I am a disabled veteran, Army Infantry. I am gainfully employed and am only using my GI Bill because I earned it and I enjoy going to school. Personally, I think your naivete is cute. How exactly do you think you get to decide how your tax dollars, to the penny, are spent?

I also am tired of hearing the same old nonsense that studying certain subjects provides no benefit to society. Gender Studies, Racial Studies, even Medieval Music are worthy of the pursuit of knowledge. If no one studies these subjects in depth then we as a society become dumber. Half of the US is actually proud that they are stupid. It is sad.

You do know that there are liberals in every branch of the US military including the Marines? As an Army Infantry combat veteran I can confirm this. Serving your country does not require one to be on the Republican, libertarian, fascist, etc. spectrum. Or are those Marines not eligible for your cage match fantasy?

The US Army has phased out all LRRPs and LRS units.

Please stop referring to the Republic of Ireland as Eire unless you want to move this discussion to the Irish language. I would hope that you do not also say Espana, Deutschland, Magyarorszag, etc. when speaking English...
