  1. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Of course I did read...the things I posted came directly out of the link you provided. Seemingly now in contradiction to the things you now say. Your link says that every atheist is a weak atheist,...
  2. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    There are organized atheistic organizations. And I think it's important to draw a distinction between a church and the services it provides...not all services are direct injections of dogma or...
  3. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Thanks for the link. So it says ALL atheists are weak atheists, and it opens with this; So all that said, an identifying reference to God by an atheist just seemed odd to
  4. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Apparently I misunderstood this as well. Wasn't my intention...just seem contradictory to
  5. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    It was a pretty balanced reply that was designed to counter the mean things that were said about atheists. Didn't take a side or insult either atheists or religious people. That's it. And I...
  6. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    I must've misunderstood this
  7. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    I didn't see that it was about 'enforcing' their beliefs, but just living them and sharing them. I have no problem with that. And work isn't always or necessarily a 'public' setting. I don't subscribe...
  8. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Overall an interesting thread, and it reinforces my belief that some people have trouble identifying themselves as anything but a victim...of something, anything, whatever they can find to use as a...
  9. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    Unfortunately, that's speculative...as noted; thanks. There are, however, UHC systems that heavily integrate private insurance...systems that are often held up as superior to ours. What IS missing...
  10. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    I would say that it's reasonable to note that there is health-care rationing in the US. I would think, however, that it wouldn't make sense to trade one rationing system for another. And I would...
  11. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    Yes, it is rationing...but I can't be drawn into supporting either solution. What I am inclined to do is say...this is what UHC leads to, and I don't want any part of
  12. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    i note your posts for the very objective presentations that they are, but i need to point out that i only respond to the issues you present. and i need to point out that rationing is not exclusive of...
  13. I think the area of Oakland in front of UPMC looks a little rough 'architectually,' but I would live there if I were a student. Heck, I worked there, partied
  14. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    I don't know why it would seem that way; I've said that I support the Singapore UHC system, and I only introduced that because I was challenged to present what I would consider a reasonable...
  15. Oakland and the Southside are close. Of course you realize that the SON is right next to Duquense University, so you might want to look for craigslist apartments close to Duquesne. Keep in mind that...
  16. Judging by the appearance of some of the RN's I've come across, you can apparently work until you are
  17. Might be. When I graduated 10 years ago, there was a fellow in my class who recently retired from the auto industry (assembly line). He was looking for something to do in retirement. He was 62 when he...
  18. Nurse and Firefighter

    I was a paramedic and a firefighter, and worked at the fire department (and as a flight paramedic) while completing nursing school. I can't see any situation where I would ever go back; I can't stand...
  19. Getting out of the UPMC tuition forgivness

    I started working for UPMC in 1999...but keep in mind, I returned my check before it was learned that the contracts were unenforceable. Contact a lawyer. There are more than a few in the Pittsburgh...
  20. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

  21. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    I never said they do. I remind people of this forgotten issue because one of the tactics used to support a UHC system is to attempt to discredit private insurance, using stories where private insurers...
  22. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

  23. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    In areas with limited and/or declining volunteers, there is no expansion of paid fire services UNLESS there is a subsequent increase of population. Even then, it is still rare. Of course you can dial...
  24. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    Proof? First, San Fransisco is not in Canada, so just because someone went to school in Canada, it doesn't mean Canada can claim UCSF as their own "world class cancer program." Especially if they...
  25. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    Well, that's interesting. Suddenly 'outsourcing' is OK? There are several problems with Canada exporting their patients. Operationally, when people are sick, they are generally at their most...
