  • Almost like you got this out of Chris Hitchens mouth.

    I don't like religion either. But, I don't agree with banning religion. Banning something only give reason for martyrdom. It is too naive, to say that the Israel-Palestina conflict would be gone if both of them turned atheists. Too much bad blood between them. Instead it would need a long process to fight for peace. Short term cease fire, making them to have a long one. Stop giving Israel too much privilege and upperhand by giving them more advanced weapons. Reeducate the people! Honest education is one of the best solution against religion. And we might have a chance to have a peace there in the long future. The conflict wouldn't be resolved in the next couple of years, I believe it would take decades.

    The western block has to stop giving weapons to Israel and stop supporting Israel blindly. What they did there, has to be condemned also.

  • You're right. There are other options though. Like oxygen therapy triptan, etc. I don't understand why didn't the doctor just prescribe the drug. Just let the patient sign an informed consent.... especially if the patient isn't pregnant and not planning pregnancy at the moment.

  • What is the medicine in question? Any other MD (or better, neurologist) here? As far as I know, most of the standard treatment for cluster headaches are safe for pregnant women...

  • That's true. :) I don't even know whether they treat UC with nicotine nowadays.

  • Many countries are forced to do that, because if they don't, they would be the one being exploited.

    I'm an Indonesian, and this thing with nickel export ban makes me upset a bit.

    Everyone is doing anything to gain advantage on international politics/ economy.. when the western block are the ones on the receiving end, they don't think it's good. The exploitative acts have been occurring since the colonial times.

    I'm all for cooperation for all countries. I'm all for free movements, free trade for whole world. I'm even against nationalism and I don't think it as a virtue. I really think that people should live as one and I really think geopolitics are bullshit. I think the formation of the European Union is a move in a right direction, but why define it to Europe? Why not for the whole world? In this all of us have to work together. The reason why it's going in this way, is because what has happened before.

  • The Singaporean are forced to do that because of how small their land is. In places where single family unit shouldn't be a problem (Europe or States), it shouldn't be forced to make the people to live in a multi family unit.

    Owning an extra house should be punished (financially) to discourage people buying houses only to rent them away.

  • What's wrong with it?

  • Everyone fucked up is my motto.

    I really believe both can play the same game. Both the western and the east block can do propaganda.

    US/ CIA was the... mastermind of many collapses of communist government during the cold war. I'm Chinese Indonesian and we are definitely one of victims of such acts.

  • It helps against one disease, as far as I know (believe me I'm a doctor.).

    The disease is ulcerative colitis.

    Fun fact: Alcohol improves symptom of one disease too. The disease is called essential tremor.

  • This is one of the reason why I think the price of property should be regulated somehow by the government. The cost/ tax of a second house should be exponentially higher to discourage people doing this, so that a renting a second house should be a financial catastrophe. Capitalism, free market does not work, especially for basic human needs (food, shelter, health, energy, and if I may say education).

    I myself bought my house 2 years ago, and the price was already ridiculous. Let's say I paid almost 100k€ more than the estimated worth of the house (cause of market price). I'm pretty sure the price will collapse after some time. The price can increase 30-40 percent in 3-5 years. It's crazy. The money invested here is much higher than I did when I was renting an apartment tho.

  • That's bad. It's bad enough that your teeth can hurt your husband's penis during blowjob, you can have the situation during anal too?????

  • Apparently he's bad at math.

  • Good point. :). Btw. Capitalism is shit. It's not sustainable, and it has to stop.
