Yes, idiot. It’s called a contagious disease. And they did it to themselves.

Yes, it can hurt. First of all, you never know what is in an herbal medicine. There could be too much of the active ingredient, not enough, or none at all. Also, it is very common to have a dietary supplement to actually work, only to be discovered that it was spiked with the actual drug. This has happened with Viagra and supposedly steroid-free psoriasis meds. And plenty of other cases. I follow this rather closely, and virtually every time a supplement is actually studied in a well designed trial it is found to be useless (or harmful—Google news hydroxycut). Add to this the fact that something coming from a plant is no more likely to be safe than something coming from a lab. In fact, the most poisonous substances on earth come from natural sources. Think about it- the plant have evolved not to be eaten in most cases. Thus the alkaloid toxins.

I doubt this will ever go away. First it was the mercury in the vaccines. After that was removed and the autism rate stayed the same (maybe even went up a bit?) then it was the vaccines themselves. Next it will be the needles used to inject the vaccines. People = Idiots

Hate to tell you this but Tamiflu is a semi-synthetic drug made from a natural product called shikimic acid. Semi-synthetic means that the starting material is obtained from a natural source. Then, it is modified in a number of discreet steps. This number can be as small as one or as large as 20. The take home lesson it that it makes absolutely no difference where the starting material comes from, or whether the material is derived from a natural or synthetic source. Once an organic chemists performs the first step (the first reaction on the starting material) you have something that is completely different from the original stuff. It may or may not have similar properties—that depends on which reaction is run. The only thing that matters is the chemical structure of the drug itself. In the case of Tamiflu, the structure is enormously different from shikimic acid. Not even close. Ph.D. in chemistry with 25 years doing drug research. And yes, I do know what I’m talking about.

Just got a 2007 Altima 6 cyl. with 265 hp.
It's basically a rocket ship that just happens to have wheels.
Less than 24K.
Can't touch it value wise.

Um, New York isn't in New England. Sorry to burst your bubble. This doesn't detract from the fact that he is so unpopular here that he would have trouble getting a job at the DMV.
A complete nothing.

Flame suit on...

What's the difference between Jewish girls and the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle swallows seamen.

And yes, I'm Jewish.

Seems to me that Lifetime is more devoted to stereotyping all males as abusive and to male-bashing in general than to sappy romances....

I can be more specific:
1. Man abuses woman (preferably Meredith Baxter)
2. Woman tries police. They do nothing.
3. Woman sets man on fire, preferably in bed
4. Defense attorney makes jury cry.
5. Woman gets acquitted.
6. More crying.
7. Repeat next week.

Just too damn funny!

Uh, try BOOR.

I can't stand it. She has just won the Lifetime Achievement Award for "biggest idiot ever to exist on the planet."

I can't tell you how much I hate these celebrities. Somebody just shoot me. I'm begging you.

I've seen conch shells with more listeners.

I think it's absolutely disgusting that you portray women as mere sexual objects in such a fashion!

...Do you have any more?

This is going to be really bad news for the concession stand--Allah Snakbar.

"Shootings tarnishing New Orleans' image"

Perhaps they meant TO REALLY SAY "polishing" it's image. A Simple typo.

Someone must've told him to go eat some ....

You guys are killing me :)

Damn men- they never listen...

That looks like my ex-wife.

Now, THAT's funny.
