What is a kink community?

You missed your vocation. You should have been a writer.

How many mg per hour of Dilaudid would constitute sufficient pain relief in your opinion? What happens when the patient gets habituated to Dilaudid and it no longer works? What happens when the Dilaudid puts the patient into respiratory failure and you have to induce a coma and put them on a...

The only time I have had to treat gunshot wounds in the ED was in the 70's when I was working on my residency in Boston. High powered rifle wounds were rare in those days, and we would primarily see wounds from handguns. In my practice as an attending, I would get called in to the ED for a...

So you have never owned any of these guns; you have never carried any of these guns as part of your job duties; you have never been trained to use these guns in any kind of formal or informal setting; you have never used these guns for hunting or recreation, other than shooting an AR15 at a...

I have read his posting history and I am convinced that the ignorance is deliberate. Learning stuff can be detrimental to religious faith, and the thought of losing one's faith can be terrifying, so ignorance is used as a shield. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone who has been on these...

Rifles shoot bullets at anywhere from 2,500 to 3,500 fps typically. A far cry from handguns which fire bullets at anywhere from 800 to 1,200 fps typically. The same projectile fired from a rifle or even a short-barreled carbine will have much more energy than that fired from a 4 or 5 inch pistol...

Very well said. I read a book on this subject last year - A Universe From Nothing by Dr. Lawrence Krauss, and I found it somewhat dense and unintuitive. One distinction or wrinkle that he added is the question of whether the word "nothing" means empty space (no matter or energy) or of a...

I was pointing out a factual error in your post. A factual error that serves as the foundational premise for the hypothesis you provided later in the post. Perhaps you should stick to making skinny points in the future. Your chubby points don't have the wind to make it to the finish line...

This is what I said: I did not claim God created cancer. I argued the position that is highlighted in my post above. I am an atheist and I don't believe God exists. And you would know this from my posts and by looking at my profile. And the context and meaning of my post would have been...

Oh, he gets it. I am sure of that. It is impossible not to recognize the meaning and context of my statements, but Lion manages to do just that anyway. Pretending that atheists believe in God and blame God for various phenomena is an act, designed to draw our attention away from the fact that...

Nobody here, with the exception of you, believes in a creator god. And nobody here has claimed that God is the cause of cancer. Take your misrepresentations of what people are saying and shove it.

If the creationists are to be believed, God created life, he created the living cells, and designed them to mutate when subjected to certain conditions. Heck, some people have claimed that God designed rivers and streams to polish pebbles that fall into the water, and the gems that are formed...

As a doctor who worked with cancer patients for over 40 years, I can attest to the fact that God did a superb job of creating cancer and spreading it amongst the unsuspecting public. I have lost many more patients than I have saved in the long run over my career, so God clearly wins. Wonder why...

Allow me to clarify what I think Learner is saying: When I, a Christian, do bad things, it's Satan's fault, for laying his snares. When you, a non-Christian, do bad things, it's your fault because you have free will. When another Christian does really bad stuff, that means he wasn't really a...
