  1. A blood relative is your alibi? How stupid do you think I am? Your saying so isn't proof... it's hearsay. You must do better.

    And by the way... do you want to make the argument that it's correct and honorable for the entire 78 Million Boomers to be indicted just because your uncle is an unprincipled SOB?

  3. Intentionally communicating in a way that makes it impossible to get your message across is a form of stupidity.

    As a conservative. I know health care has to be rationed to those who have not paid for it via insurance.

    (insurance already rations it)

    To quote a NICU person I know well. We are spending millions saving "gworked" out kids who will have no quality of life even if we can save the pre mature babies for a few years. Many times we inflict baby torture at the cost of hundreds or thousands or even millions to get premie to live as a vegetable for a few years. And that is just one hospital.


    We also spend hundreds of thousands giving surgeries to people who only have a few months or days to live.

    This is just screwed up abuse of the tax payers dollars.

    If a person does not have cash or insurance... than it is up to govt to say hey... we will not save babies below this size because it is most likely going to turn out as baby torture. These babies were spontaneous abortions "let the go to heaven"... (to quote same person)

    gworked seems to be a term of art used in neo natal intensive care units to describe pre mature babies who have all sorts of "syndromes".

    Syndromes typically describing mal formations.

    its pronounced g war ked... so I could be spelling it incorrectly.
