Les humains n'ont pas d'âmes.
I do not floss my teeth regularly. Something no one does but everyone knows they probably should do. Kind of like smoking...everyone's trying to quit...except @dmbruce
I am a Type B personality. More B than A, I think.
The federal government should tax employer-sponsored health benefits.
I do not worry about growing older.
I do not practice Yoga.
The town hall protests against health care reform are not appropriate.
La consommation de lait a un effet positif sur la santé d'un adulte.
Il n'est pas nécessaire de cultiver des produits bio.
Pneumonia vaccinations are effective.
Viagra should not be available over-the-counter.
Marketing and advertising restrictions in the tobacco regulation laws violate free speech.
There should be limits on the amount of damages awarded in medical malpractice suits. To say nothing of the money paid out in these awards, drs over -prescribe and over-diagnose their patients as preventive measures, purely out of fear they'll be blamed for an individual's health problem. This, of course, further jacks up the medical costs.
The outbreak of the influenza virus (Swine flu) in Mexico will become an international pandemic. The WHO just declared the Swine Flu to be the first flu pandemic in 41 years. I guess my foresight benefits from holding out from taking a stand.
Media coverage of the swine flu outbreak has not been overblown. It's been blown sufficiently. The information being disseminated comes from major international health organizations. They're the ones sounding the alarms. Sure, cable news might be sensationalizing it, but how is this different from every other story it covers? I'd prefer the overcautious attitude than that of ignorance.
Habitual consumption of marijuana is worse on one's personal health than habitual consumption of alcohol. Getting high three times a week is worse than drinking a glass of wine with dinner three times a week. But what's habitual? Alcoholism is MUCH worse than whatever marijuana's equivalent is. For now, I'm going to define "habitual use" as using in moderation a couple times a week...in which case alcohol is better.
The size of a man's penis does not affect his level of confidence. buncha Napoleons up there in the 'yes' column
Soldiers returning from battle should be given a mandatory PTSD screening. What possible reason would there be to not? PTSD is one of the most distrubing parts to this war and it largely gets swept-under-the-run. A screening is the least that the government should do.
The U.S. government should not provide universal healthcare.
La vie commence à la conception.
Plan B should be available over-the-counter to women under the age of 18. although there's a fine line between it being a last-ditch birth control effort and encouraging this as a frequently-used solution.
Organic milk is not safer than regular milk.
The use of birth control is not equivalent to abortion. seriously? there are people who reasonably believe that it is? good lord....
HIV should not be a factor in evaluating whether a non-citizen can enter or permanently reside in a country. i've done no research on this and have no background information, but my gut tells me this is a bullshit law that will hopefully be rescinded.
A universal healthcare system would require a tax increase.
Congress should strengthen regulations on direct-to-consumer advertising.
Restless Leg Syndrome is a legitimate medical condition. sounds suspicious though
Les vaccins contenant du thimérosal sont inoffensifs. Don't know a lot about this issue, but I always side with science in this case rather than Jenny McCarthy
Les contraceptifs devraient être remboursés par les assurances maladie.
La FDA ne devrait pas réglementer les produits de tabac.
The FDA's drug approval process is effective.
States should mandate driver testing after a designated age. seems logical
La pensée positive ne peut améliorer votre santé.
The FDA should not prohibit gay and bisexual men from donating blood.
Frequent marijuana use adversely affects sperm. damn...
The identity of sperm donors should remain anonymous.
Les femmes enceintes devraient arrêter de boire de l’alcool pendant la grossesse.
Les États-Unis ne devraient pas redoubler d’efforts pour lutter contre le VIH-SIDA en Afrique. I feel like an ass taking this stand..poorly worded issue
The U.S. should implement a single-payer health care system.
Employers should be required to offer health insurance to full-time employees.
