I dont think they realize that with american data, will come american economic interests, which will inevitably bring american policy pressure and interference in their government.

I know where you work, I work there too :)

(highfive)

so thats, like, what, about three people hitting F5?

can't tell if troll, but, you forget that we have multiple immune mechanisms.

the people who "rarely get sick" are still typically exposed to the same environmental factors as everyone else, including pathogens.

What makes them different is that their primary immune system is able to nip the invader in the bud, usually without the person even realizing that they were exposed to a pathogen. From that point forth they develop secondary immunity to the pathogen, avoiding all the inconvenience of fever and other symptoms.

The people who get sick frequently don't an adequate primary layer of defense for that particular pathogen, and must suffer through the aches and pains and fever until their secondary response can kick in and deal with the invader and give them more permanent protections.

These people get legitimately sick every time they encounter a new variation of a pathogen - typically once every flu season.

no particular reason, just figured that a hole in the ground is easier to come by than an incinerator.

That's pretty much also my parents view toward my brother and myself (both parents are Docs).
The only times i've been to a doctor outside serious injury was for mandated physicals and dental checkups.
Now I work in healthcare as well, and don't feel the need to take meds for minor problems that will clear up on their own.

-played in the mud my entire life
-never understood neosporin and band-aids (although i did need to use duct tape and paper towels to halt profuse bleeding on one occasion)
-never had an infection
-I get a cold/flu maybe once every 3-4 years and i don't take anything for it.

back to the original point

-I am not afraid of death
-I'm not going to need my organs once im dead
-I'm not going to need a $20000 coffin once im dead

When I die, take what you possibly can out of me, toss the rest into a pit in the ground, no need for the box, have a beer. <- that is how I want my funeral to go.

I never had any problems with addition,
well, ive had *problems* sure, and sometimes they were difficult ones.
But eventually i overcame my demons and won my battles, without any outside help, mind you!

Now, multiplication, that's a whole other story!

I heard you like battery, so we put some batteries in your bat so you can battery while you batter.
