What I think about when I hear the term "public health" is the disturbing extent to which medicine has been hijacked by big pharma, there was this swine flu fear mongering a few years ago and you can literally count the number of people that died on one hand while there is this Ebola epidemic in Africa and the mainstream media is barely mentioning anything about that. People are taking more pills and vaccines than ever before yet they are sicker than ever before and I don't think that is a coincidence. There is all this crap in the food, air and water and the "cure" being presented to people is only poisoning them further.

For PC games you have to constantly upgrade your rig just to keep up which is something I really don't want to have to do and this is coming from a guy who like a lot of power in his PC. Sure you get a lot more graphical and processing power in PC but I just want to be able to plug the game and start playing,it is true that consoles are becoming more computer like it seems more and more like consoles are trying to be something they shouldn't be which is part of the reason why this current console generation hasn't had as much of an upgrade in its power as previous console generations have. There are a couple of PC games I do like though but for the most part I tend to go more for consoles. With handhelds Nintendo keeps dominating, Sony can and should be able to catch up with all the potential that the Vita has but nearly all of its games are Playstation 2 or even Playstation 3 ports. There is of course also the rise of cell phone and internet games but nearly all of them just seem to be clones of each other and ripoffs of old school games like Tetris and just don't impress me. The rise of downloadable titles is great for all platforms, it gives indie developers a shot to get their stuff out there and consumers a chance to get old games they missed out on.

A katana and 2 kodachi's for short range and a Glock pistol for long range and maybe an AK47 for when things really get dicey.

This thread gave me a good laugh, I suppose if I had no other choice I would. I would probably roast him over an open fire, that is relatively easy and in a starvation situation I might not have the luxury of cooking in a more complicated fashion.

I live in a condo complex and I would much rather have nothing whatsoever to do with most of my neighbors. There are these neighbors that live upstairs from me that are complete pigs, they throw trash everywhere. I came home from work one night and found raw ground beef splattered all over my patio crawling with ants complete with a note about how they want it back. It was the last thing I wanted to deal with at the time but because I didn't want an ant infestation scooped everything up and took it straight to the dumpster. What really takes the cake though is they got a cockroach infestation which is no surprise and wouldn't be my problem if the infestation hadn't spread to my perfectly clean house. I suppose on the plus side it gave me a great idea for a fanfic where Rarity gets a cockroach infestation. Though they are much more quiet now I used to overhear them having sex all the time, to be honest part of me enjoyed it but another part of me was pissed that they had to be that loud at 2am when I am trying to sleep. I still occasionally hear them going at it but they are much better about it now, I swear that lady has one hell of a set of lungs on her. There are these other neighbors that live in this house just outside of the complex that used to have a lot of loud parties, but either new ones moved in or they have gotten more considerate. Either way, less noise and less sleepless nights is fine with me. There are these neighbors I have though that I do like. They are fairly friendly and their dog Charlie always gives his own hello whenever anyone passes by. The husband has offered to fix the cracked ceiling in my bathroom at a good price so I am probably going to let him do that.

They gave you an IV? Either they didn't give me or I was so doped up from all the painkillers that I just didn't notice. I was awake the entire time but I was so out of it that I might as well have been knocked out.

That is why I am a bit stingy with brohoofs, nothing against people that are generous with them but for me I like to save them for what I think are the best posts.

Finland rarely even makes the news where I live here in America so what most Americans know is a bit limited I know more about what goes in world affairs than most people and I will admit I don't know that much about Finland. I never knew that one of the largest cell phone companies and that Angry Birds came from Finland. What I do know about Finland is that it is a small Nordic country located near Norway and Sweden and has a similar culture, political system and economy to those countries though I am sure there are some differences as well. I know that as a region those particular countries tend to have somewhat socialistic democratic economies with fairly liberal social policy. What I like about these countries is that they tend to mind their own business overseas which is something I wish my country would do. The founding fathers have given many warnings again entangling alliances and not being the police of the world which are being increasingly ignored with grave consequences.

I am sure there are some idiots that are, but it is never going to become a major thing since heterosexuals are the majority.

I am one of the few people that can read my handwriting though if I look at something that I wrote 10 or 20 years ago than even I might not be able to read it. Because of this I have to get testing accomdations at school for any tests that involve written answers, I have tried to improve my hand writing I really have but I think where it is now is as good as it is going to get.
