You're splitting hairs about the colloquial usage of the word 'administration' in the American context. I meant 'governing body' in general, including the executive, the legislative and the judicial. I understand it

I think a lot of the commenters on this thread who are skeptical or dismissive don't really understand what a 'civil war' actually is or would be in a country the size of the United States. I believe this stems from the assum

Ugh.. My personal experience. I come back from a trip in Romania. Arrive at Seatac, open the Uber app, it costs $100 for a trip to my house. Wait for my luggage to arrive, I open the app again, it's $120. I go outside the terminal and

'Psychopathic' is a generous take, as it would assume some level of truth. The take is just wrong and mindlessly repeats the contrarian bullshit we've been hearing for the past two years. I'm very disappointed to be read

Is it possible that these people already had asymptomatic gallstones and whatever was in this food triggered a gallbladder attack?

You're spot on about bile not flowing. I'm very interested in the final verdict on this. I'm also not an expert, just someone who parted with their gallbladder a while back and became a major consumer of information on gallbl

Cholecystectomies can also be performed in cases of cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) which can of course be caused by gallstones but also by infections of the bile tract, reduced blood flow to the gallbladder and other nasty

The child is not a child nor a person. Not even the Catholic church considers a fetus a person, nor the government (as you can't get a tax deduction for your fetus). I used to be fairly religious and godfathered a couple of kids. Neith

The government doesn't believe that life starts at conception. Otherwise you'd be able to get tax deductions for an unborn fetus. This has nothing to do with when life begins. This has everything to do with population control and
