    Do you appraise your local GP on his Hitler youth haircut? :pac:

    When I was young and carefree and looking for a fella, nothing put me off a man more than him having a jumper or coat tied around his waist. Nothing.

    If I hear anyone linking vaccines with autism, I don't want to know them.

    I'm a scientist. Intelligent homeopaths exist, but they know what they're doing is screwing desperate people for profit. Worse than big pharma by a country mile IMO.

    Im with you on the vaccinations but is there not a legitimate argument to be made that "big pharma" as you put it are more interested in treatments than cures. Im not talking about cancer specifically, just in general.
    Im by no means an authority on this so im open to being corrected, condemned and humiliated on the internet

    Well, not really. For one thing, cancer cells are too similar to ours to be killed off en masse without side effects which are thankfully becoming less severe with new drugs. Also, these firms have shareholders to answer to who won't be pleased that they're hiding a potential revenue stream when they could charge the farm for it.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    I agree with you on this, Aongus - they are not nice traits at all where they actually exist.

    I reckon they exist in rather large numbers. Being very materialistic is the key.

    This.

    Also, anyone who thinks cruelty to animals is funny, people who swear a lot - it's like sitting in a stream of ear pollution sitting upstairs on the bus; groups of girls on hen weekends giving off those piercing mating squeals that go right through your head; people who thinks a political point can be made by violence and anger. Oh, and, Jesus, crisp breath.

    I'm not proud of it but I've noticed recently that I automatically have less respect for obese people. It's not that I dislike them as people but I tend to not value them as much, I guess some part of my brain is thinking "Well if they can't keep their body mass at a healthy level then they're unlikely to have much drive in other important areas of their life/work"

    People with tunnels in their ears. I think they're gross and can't understand why anyone would want to do it to their body.

    Those dog owners annoy me too. You have to respect other people's space and know not everyone feels the same about your dog as you do, I agree that's not on.

    Yeah, I think all pet owners are weird.
    Dogs/cats are nice animals but I don't want them sh*tting in my house/garden and have me clean it up.

    But in terms of revenue stream is there not much more to be made from a continuous treatment than a cure. Again, Im really not specifying cancer given the various types and, as you pointed out, the nature of it.

    "Lol I'm such a hardcore nerd because I watch Doctor Who / love Marvel movies."


    If you have to constantly tell people how much of a nerd you are then I don't think you're a nerd, you're gobshíte looking for attention.

    No, i never mentioned anything about other peoples gardens:confused:, cleaning up after a pet is one of the many reasons I wouldn't want a pet.
