But she doesn't--she just thinks the actual treatment will be more harmful than the cancer, which is a fucking stupid thing to say. It's essentially a mild delusion--an informational deficit--and in an instance like this it's perfectly okay for the State to coerce them into this, because it's commensurate with their desires and somebody's life is also on the line. 9004

I've changed my position.
She absolutely needs to have this treatment. I refuse to tolerate people needlessly dying in the name of "alternative" medicine. 9005
Serious / Re: Obama to Propose 2 Years of Community School for 'Free'« on: January 08, 2015, 05:46:41 PM »All comes to implementation and what the proposal actually says tomorrow.Of course, but it just seems like a more mature "think of the children" style of political expediency. I'd oppose this on any grounds unless the administration can provide solid evidence that I) this won't substantially increase credential inflation, II) the community colleges have the infrastructure and expertise to handle the influx and III) the community colleges don't suffer financially because of it. 9006

We go from this thread, where we say we shouldn't be censoring speech we don't like, even if it is shitty, to these government need to censor?I think he means the Imams and other Muslim leaders should be censoring hate speech in their own mosques, not governmental intrusion.

Serious / Re: What causes gas prices to rise and fall?« on: January 08, 2015, 05:11:42 PM »Since the United States isn't a member of OPEC, where does the US and other countries' oil go to?I'm not well caught up on U.S. legislation, but I'm pretty sure there are some restrictions on how much/what can actually be exported--at least on natural gas. It's part of the reason OPEC are really having to shoot themselves in the foot, because natural gas in America at the moment is depressing prices so much. 9011

Supply and demand.
The more/less demand, the higher/lower the price. The more/less supply, the lower/higher the price. OPEC nations have decided to not cut production at the moment, despite the price of gas. 9012
