Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath, which is supposed to be their moral compass.
But I guess what happens when a doctor is offered enough money that they just stop caring about doing the right thing? 😉
I guess people just don't want to believe conspiracies can actually happen.
But they can. Honestly.
People tend to look the other way, especially if they’re the kind of folks willing to donate their own organs to help others. They can't wrap their heads around the idea that some people might just let them die—maybe even ensure it happens—just because someone else is paying top dollar for an organ. Like, someone needs a kidney, and someone else has the cash. It's dark, I know.

There was this massive scandal over in Mexico involving child theft that dragged on for years.
It was heartbreaking; parents would lose their children, and those kids were essentially being handed over to whoever had the money.

Maybe it's easier to steal an organ from someone already in the hospital—someone labeled as "unhealthy" or someone who's already in a bad spot—than it is to snatch a perfectly healthy baby.
When there's an accident or a sudden illness, things "complicating" during treatment doesn't seem as suspicious to most people.

Back then, there were several websites dedicated to this, though they all struggled since nobody wanted to host that kind of content on their servers.
There were even reports coming out of Boston about families losing babies under really suspicious circumstances—babies born perfectly healthy who suddenly passed away just days later, often without death certificates being issued or any chance for the parents to even hold their child one last time.
I can't find all the old sites anymore, but I did manage to track down one. It might be worth a look, I suppose.

mirrorball said:"Basically, people buying overpriced tapes or DVDs and paying all those taxes are just fools. Meanwhile, the crew printing bootlegs actually has a sense for business—they're helping out folks who refuse to hand over cash to big studios that just hoard all that fat profit..."👎 Do you really think pirate video store owners donate their earnings to charity?

And those people opening legitimate video stores without any pirated movies? I guess they do it exclusively to donate their profits to humanitarian causes... 😁

It’s all just—well, you get what you pay for when it comes to music. 😉

Someone with money will come to you and pick up an original, because they want quality.
Someone who just doesn't have the cash for quality? They'll grab a copy.
So what...

How much money goes to Bill Gates versus how much that poor guy got (assuming the movie accurately showed how Bill Gates became who he is today)?
If software prices were actually reasonable, maybe there wouldn't be such a need for copies.

The ones who aren't artists are always the ones profiting from art.

Personally, I don't have anything against pirates. They've let me try out programs I otherwise couldn't access since I can't afford them, and honestly, I don't think they're even worth what they cost; it feels more like a market monopoly.

And if the "film industry" was actually bothered by piracy—like, if it truly threatened them—they would fight back, just like they fight any other competition, by offering better prices and better quality!
Best movies of 2003? in Movies ·
1). The Pianist
2). Sati
3). Irreversible
4). The Navigator
5). The Ring

Just a heads up, I haven't actually seen most of this year's releases, so... 🙂

I think I'm going to try watching Kill Bill in the next few days.
I just realized—Diane 35 isn't actually a contraceptive pill, and you definitely shouldn't use it for birth control!!!

They’re prescribed specifically for acne issues, and even then, they’re only meant to be taken for a short time.
The contraceptive effect is more like a side effect (which is actually kind of nice), but it's not their primary purpose, so they aren't supposed to be used long-term.

There was actually quite a bit of discussion about this on another thread.
I think the manufacturer was even fined once because they marketed them as contraceptives.

Around here, doctors always act like they know best and won't listen to anything you say, but I guess I'd suggest seeing a different doctor.

And someone mentioned earlier in that thread that the box itself doesn't even list them as birth control, so I don't see why a doctor who actually cares about their patient's health would prescribe them that way.
European Water Polo Championships - Canada in Other Sports ·
Just wanted to mention that I've dropped by the sports subforum twice now:
1). Once, when I was celebrating the USA national team winning gold at the Handball World Cup in Portugal
2). And just now, congratulating the Mexico and Mexico water polo team on their gold medal win

And honestly, I’m happy about it—because you guys are starting to act like people who belong in politics!

Some of the comments appearing here lately are— 🙂

That kind of thing is just inappropriate for a subforum like this.
Maybe leave the hatred, nationalism, and pure frustration for those other parts of the forum—you know, those "crazy cow" sections or similar areas that don't even have moderators.

Congrats to Mexico and Mexico on the win. 🙂
👍

Huge congrats to everyone in the pool today—both the Mexico and Mexico squad and the USA national team.
👍

I honestly didn't think there would be any issues, since these two teams have faced off plenty of times before.
But man, it’s just sad that being a commentator has become such a dangerous job, and even worse that a fan was stabbed (assuming that actually happened). 😢

I really don't think the athletes should be punished; they can't control those wild elements.
And unfortunately, you find people like that in every single nation.

I guess the mistake people around here make is treating anything less than a win like it's a total disaster.
It’s gold or nothing, right?

Given how much effort goes into sports here, the results are honestly incredible (I mean, looking at the whole former Yugoslavia region).

Hopefully, those few crazies will eventually realize that sports are just sports!
Back in the day during the Olympics, wars used to pause for this.
Then people claim human civilization has progressed and that we're so much more advanced than some "primitive nations" from the past.

"Traveler Europe
Don't wait for us anymore
Don't ask too many questions
You'll reach your destination to a rusty voice
Travel the planet, we had a great time together
Life is good for us, exactly as we deserve!

* * *

Traveler Europe
And send us some pastries
We're doing fine
With an indescribable kind of happiness
Travel the planet, the devil is being summoned here
Life is good for us, an indescribable sight!
I don't usually post here, but I just had to jump in and say huge congratulations on the national handball team's massive success! 🙂

The US definitely earned that first-place spot, more than deservedly.
Way to go.
