welcome to city life, whiner.

yes, that's an interesting wrinkle. i doubt the insurers hold tobacco smokers to the same standards, ultimately, however, this little wrinkle is irrelevant...

aspergillus testing can be done, of course. i'm told that there are in fact medical marijuana clubs or co-ops or whatever that do this already, as HIV patients are also suceptible. again it comes down to the drug war, and if marijuana were legal and medicalized properly, this man would have had a much better chance at survival.

mr diamond, like many who speak to a broad audience, makes certain simplifications that others may be unfomfortable with. this does not make his assertions false, or make him a shyster, because the nature of generalizations is such that one must exclude the outliers and exceptions in order to make a generalization in the first place.

mr heinlen: so you're a clinical psychiatrist, then, and can make that sort of diagnosis?

you know, i find scientology kind of annoying, just like i find christianity kind of annoying. however, i also find the 4chan/GNAA axis that has arisen to fight scientology annoying as well.

its hard to figure out whose side i should be on. moron group a, or moron group b?

these guys are from england, and WHO GIVES A SHIT?
