    Is Addiction A Disease or A Choice?

    I would say that in some cases it starts as a choice. Smoking because family and friends smoke and you want to also is a choice. But this is not always the case. Especially when you get into non substance abuse related addictions. Also, many people use products right off the shelf of their...

    The US Medical System

    Yeah, it's definitely not the doctors' fault. Like the reason the wait time for neurologists is so ridiculous is that it's a high demand field. Not enough neurologists for the number of patients that need to be seen.

    The US Medical System

    Regarding freedom to set appointments, definitely. How it generally works for us is if you call, they let you know when the next available slot is. If it doesn't work for you, you can ask what they have available after that one. Or you can ask when the next available slot they have that lands on...

    The US Medical System

    I would note that anyone with the resources to be visiting foreign countries aren't likely to be in the denomination of US citizens struggling to get timely health care. And generally would return to their own country for ongoing care. Emergency care is a different matter from what I was talking...

    The US Medical System

    I suspect this misconception stems from differences in perception/what side of the fence people are on. Like, I've personally also heard a lot of Canadians and people from the UK complain about the wait times to see doctors. But take me... I live in the US where the average wait time to see a...

    Nature vs Nurture

    I personally share the general consensus here, that it is a combination of both. I strongly feel that nature is an ingrained element to every single person, but that those elements can be influenced through nurturing. An individual may be born with a predisposition for being short-tempered due...

    What is normal?

    Nillum pretty well hit on my thoughts on the matter. It really just comes down to social expectations and percentages. However it IS a combination of the two. The former, can influence the latter, and vice verse. For example, most people develop heterosexual. Thus we could say that...

    Trump's Executive Order Halting Immigration & Refugees

    "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" That - quoted on our statue of liberty - largely sums up my thoughts on the matter...

    Free Speech

    I find freedom of speech is one of those areas that a lot of people get turned around with. I can't count the number of people I know and/or have met, who don't know what freedom of speech IS. They think it's the right to say whatever they want, anywhere, at any time. This creates so much...
