Does that include both parents working a minimum wage job? How do you make it a reality? Increase the minimum wage (there will be fewer jobs to go around, and prices will increase. And do teenagers with part time jobs need to make enough to support a family) ? Price controls (shortages, businesses closing, lack of innovation)? Handouts (you specifically stated you don't want handouts)?<BR/><BR/>You say that it's hard for people like these two to support themselves because they're just too dumb to do anything more complex than flipping burgers. That may be true, but it is impossible to determine how much of that is due to intellectual laziness and never having to work for anything and how much is due to inborn stupidity. Mom being on SSI/disability for 17 years due to "depression" from a car accident doesn't give me the impression that she has much of a work ethic. The point (911 already said this) is that we don't know what these two are capable of, career wise, because they haven't made any effort.<BR/><BR/>Your description of Action T4 is inaccurate. The Nazi docs murdered institutionalized people with real mental and physical disabilities. It wasn't aimed at killing fat, lazy people on welfare.<BR/><BR/>You also state that 20% of the American population is obese, "proving" that ignorance about healthy eating is rampant among all economic classes. While there are obese people in every class, more of those 20% are in the lower classes than the upper (a paper by Charles L. Baum III and Christopher J. Ruhm published by the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates that weight is inversely related to socioeconomic status throughout life.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-66965536484433693822008-07-31T02:17:00.000-05:002008-07-31T02:17:00.000-05:00Holy Hell.

I swear, 911, I wish you'd lower yourself to use the goddamned shift key. <BR/><BR/>I propose that from now on, all Anonymi be referred to as "Asshat". <BR/><BR/>I question why you're letting yourself get all worked up over the opinion of some douchebag that thinks that it's OK to have children when you can't even support yourself. You know, because babies are so miraculous and they are gifts from god and all that so everyone should have one. Give me a fucking break. And how dare you refer to said blessing as an "it"? Um, because that is the proper grammatical term for the sentence, you bleeding-heart asshat.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Asshat said, "<I>Nothing you're doing in your ER seems to be changing the way things are going there.</I>"<BR/><BR/>Perhaps asshat needs to learn what an 'Emergency' is. Last time I checked, changing social awareness, feeding fat unemployed women, providing free childcare, and whatever else asshat thinks needs to happen to make it so that you can work at Burger King and still have two children, were not 'Emergencies'.<BR/><BR/>A critical intubation with posterior oropharygeal bleeding, now THAT's an 'Emergency'.<BR/><BR/>But whatever.<BR/><BR/>Glad you're the troll magnet now.<BR/><BR/>Try not to have a stroke.<BR/><BR/>PS: I still believe that my money should go towards making <I>me</I> fat, not some unemployed lazy bitch with two kids.

This blog was founded by 911, so he can say anything he wants. I don't agree that he is unable to employ reason (and gosh, he is smart enough to figure out how to construct a fake name and avatar). In fact, 911 went to two years of law school. And DUH, he is burned out and angry--what blog did you think you stumbled on--the one with kitten photos? Wy do you think the blog is Medical Doctors OverDosed? And if you'd read his previous posts you'd know that "911" is a separate entity from the doctor himself, who obviously prides himself on providing compassionate care.<BR/> And yes, he's a conservative, and why would a conservative start agreeing with liberal positions?

I referred to shaken babies, beheaded teenagers (and other casualties of unseatbelted, drunken driving) as "unavoidable carnage" because of the perception of the clinician that it doesn't seem to stop.<BR/><BR/>I am not suggesting that someone who shakes a baby, scalds a baby, or drives drunk should escape the consequences of their behavior.<BR/><BR/>I do believe there is a class of person who is incapable of responding in an intelligent way to children. But given the way I have seen nurses screaming in a rage at older adults coming out of major surgery, I'd suggest that I wouldn't trust some health care professionals alone with a small child any more than I'd trust them with the asshole who thinks that dipping a toddler in scalding water is the appropriate punishment for wetting her pants.<BR/><BR/>Since people here seem to have difficulty grasping subtleties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-85450562692465897832008-07-30T15:25:00.000-05:002008-07-30T15:25:00.000-05:00I knew you couldn't do it.

You had to construct a straw man, because that's the only way you can hold it together.<BR/><BR/>If someone disagrees with you you go on an apoplectic rant. You can't engage in reasoned debate. You bring in all kinds of ridiculous ideas that are nowhere mentioned anywhere in anything I said, because you can't address what I said in a reasoned way. You have to manufacture things that are completely unconnected with the main points raised. I suppose chronic sleep deprivation might do that to the reasoning skills. The truth is, you're a bully. Believe it or not, it's not interesting to me whether you were a bully before you decided to work in the Emergency Department, or became one after you got there.<BR/><BR/>Where I come from, after working for a long period of time with shaken babies, scalded children, beheaded teenagers and other completely unavoidable carnage, people switch departments for a while because long-term exposure to this sort of thing tends to dehumanize and desensitize people to the suffering and weakness of others. Time to switch to plastic surgery for a few years until you get your emotional equilibrium back, doc. <BR/><BR/>You're a physician, but you can't come up with one useful thought about meaningful social policy. That's not surprising, given the fact that you spent your entire undergraduate career taking chemistry courses and physics. That doesn't make you an expert on social policy -- although you seem to think you are, but as soon as anyone has a question, you start talking about windmills. How long have you associated a living wage with windmills and Priuses, doc?<BR/><BR/>I don't know who you're angry at -- although it appears to be just about everyone -- but nothing you've ranted about is connected in any logical way with any of the objections I've raised. <BR/><BR/>Nothing you're doing in your ER seems to be changing the way things are going there. It couldn't be that seeing this particular class of people realistically and proposing a solution that takes their limited resources into account might actually effectuate change.<BR/><BR/>You're not capable of having a reasoned discussion. I'd suggest getting some sleep but your problems seem to be a little deeper than that.<BR/><BR/>Where I come from they'd consider someone with your responses severely burned out and in need of a long period of R & R.

I have repeatedly ma...Can none of you people read?? <BR/><BR/>I have repeatedly made one statement:<BR/><BR/>You should be able to work at a minimum wage job and support a family of four.<BR/><BR/>AnneCoulterLover: Where in that statement is any suggestion that they deserve a handout?<BR/><BR/>I am suggesting only that right now it is impossible to make a living on minimum wage -- especially if you have children -- and so as a matter of policy you're going to have people avoiding working.<BR/><BR/>None of you people, apparently, have reading comprehensions much higher than the people you malign, and stop pretending you have compassion for these people, given that none of you batted an eye at the flour joke. You have no trouble at all with people who objectify these women in the most degrading way possible, but the teensy beensy suggestion that if they got a job, they might be able to live on what they makes has reputedly mature people having little Napoleonic temper tantrums. <BR/><BR/>Talk about learned helplessness. I asked a simple question: You are a health care provider. You have these two women in your office. Recognizing their manifest intellectual and educational limitations, what do you tell them? <BR/><BR/>I pointed out that even schools can't by example serve as sources of information about healthful eating for the reasons I mentioned, and also pointed out that the average well-educated individual can't either. In fact, I observe that EMS personnel and nursing staff (and quite a few of the anesthesiologists and pediatricians out there) at the average hospital and medical building themselves have weight problems.<BR/><BR/>In fact, twenty percent of people in the US qualify as not merely overweight, but obese. So many, many people haven't figured out how to eat properly.<BR/><BR/>Here's a start: Aspartame increases appetite. It is an appetite stimulant after the first 12 or 24 hours (I forget which). <BR/><BR/>These people make up any reason they can to not work, but given the fact that you can work a job that either of these two women can work and not make a living, I am merely suggesting that a change in policy is in order.<BR/><BR/>No where, but no where, have I suggested that these people are entitled to a handout. What I have been saying is something people can't honestly answer, in good faith. <BR/><BR/>I have to say too that I haven't seen a more shrill contingent of profane, obscene thinkers outside of a graffiti-covered bathroom wall. None of you can debate in good faith. None of you address the actual premise -- that it should be possible for anyone of any ability to go out and get a full-time job and be able to support a family of four. No where did I even suggest that people are entitled to have as many children as they want if they can't afford to. <BR/><BR/>Other than point out -- protesting too much, I think -- the many ways in which you are different from these ladies, making obscene comments, and calling names, none of you have addressed the one consistent premise I have put forth: that there has been a class of people like these two ladies in every culture in history; the Victorians dealt with them by allowing them to starve, putting them in debtor's prison, and consigning them to beggary. But then, they also had little children working 14-hour days doing piece work. <BR/><BR/>You people don't seem to want to kick around potential solutions. You just want to make flour jokes, talk about how you're superior to them, ridicule them and scream at straw men.<BR/><BR/>Socialism didn't work, but neither did allowing these people to starve to death. I pointed out a solution that might work -- which is that if they did work, they might actually be able to earn a living -- which is a solution that hasn't been tried before. But none of you apparently can read well enough to see that and answer it intelligently. Instead, you'd rather complain about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-78368755068271099242008-07-30T13:27:00.000-05:002008-07-30T13:27:00.000-05:00liberals, ever generous with our money.
