I think the idea is that if they really cared about their patients, they would eventually find one they're a match for and donate it. Not sure that necessarily follows, but I believe that is the point.

Yup, I don't do that. The author of the post under discussion made statements about Israel and about Jews. It's the blanket statements about Jewish people that I'd call anti-semitic.

Losing track of what I've written on my own personal blog seems really unlikely to me, despite havig a terrible memory, but I gues it's possible.

And Jewish != Israeli. How is that hard to understand?

It helps some if they've ever actually claimed to have changed.

If he had ever changed that view you'd really hope he would have gone back and updated that essay.

There are tons of scenarios in which I think human observations are all that matters. I think trying to generalize about populations on this scale from personal interactions is worse than pointless. I have plenty of value for a reduced sta

Smaller than that - each author's mind is unique. Any piece of fiction should be considered on its own for whether its characters are plausible and consistent.

I bet Hawaiians working in tourism meet a lot more people than I do. Maybe as many as two hundred a day (granted, only for a few minutes at those volumes). If you manage to do that five days a week for thirty years, you meet 1.4 million peo

I don't think it's easy to generalize about Japan's population either.

I wasn't at all trying to say this doesn't happen. I was trying to explain some of the common attitudes that might be related to the OP's response.

I have a keyboard that runs custom, open-source software. It would be easy to figure that out about me, if you cared. Say if you found a list of employees and contractors. A sufficiently-motivated attacker could backdoor my firmware with a

It's hard to generalize correctly about a population of three hundred million. That's especially true when doing it based on personal experience.

"Walking out" of a job implies leaving the employer without warning in the middle of a workday, something many people in the US pride themselves on not doing (despite largely having the legal right to do so). It's related to

I worked for a US health insurance company for a while, and they were almost this strict. People got away with breaking some of the rules, but it was definitely a risk - it was theoretically grounds for dismissal to bring in your own hardwa

I don't think universal morality means universally _accepted_ - I believe the idea is that it's universally _true_. Truth is not truth due to everyone agreeing on it.

Historians are the only sources you'd accept for evidence? I guess that's your prerogative, but I'm not going to put in any further effort to help you find the evidence you asked for. FYI, I don't necessarily agree with

In most homeschooling families, one of the parents stays home to be the primary teacher. Many of the best teachers I've ever had didn't have education degrees and were totally outside of the formal academic system. The worst teach

I think the belief (based on what evidence we're aware of) that breast milk is genuinely better for babies. My wife and I are both sort of gluttons for punishment if we're convinced something is the right path.

I was homeschooled up until college. I had finished standard high school course work by around sixteen, so my parents had me start taking CLEP tests. At seventeen, in what would have been my senior year of high school, I took a few classes

The OP didn't say he wanted all financial activities to be considered criminal - just available for investigation. I get that's not what you want, but it is what OP wants and I can see why. All part of the eternal struggle between

In the US legal system, that refers to whether you can be punished for a crime, not investigated for one.

That was about the total for each of our hospital births. Medical experiences and costs in the US really are crazy variable.
