Where's the incentive for me to stop being diabetic? Hey, I should have to work harder than I already am to control my daily blood sugar? This infuriates me to no end. I do one hour of cardio a day, am fit, eat healthy, low cal, low carbs, and test myself AT LEAST 12 times per day and guess what, my blood sugar averages are still high. You wanna know why? PRIMORDIAL FEAR of maintaining a perfect 3.9-5.0 range which, while healthier over the long term, can result in COMA and death if you, say, get stuck in traffic, or have a cold, or are stressed. The same amount of insulin one day doesn't lower glucose in the same amount as the next. So please, let's have some compassion here. I have to work harder at maintaining composure, feeling uncomfortable sitting in my chair coding all frikken day, and then have people tell me my disease isn't so bad and it's a "controlled disease". PURE IGNORANCE. If you wanna live long as a diabetic, you need to be a fanatic, and no matter how hard you try, you will wake up in strange places after having blackouts from mental dementia, and fall into comas ( I have, twice), because as your brain is deprived of sugar you stop making sense and you become demented....so please, take your five fucking dollars and shove it up your ass if you think that's the "added push" incentive I really need to bring my sugars closer to the black hole of near-, or full-, catatonic mania in humiliating circumstances, say, in public or during exams or when you're doing a job interview or just nervous. Guess what, it ain't just food that affects my sugar, it's listening to ignorant (healthy) assholes tell me I'm not trying hard enough.
And the same would apply for people with other chronic illnesses. Diabetes can be just as delibitating, humiliating, and dehumanizing as cancer. It takes the last 1/3rd off your life, but kills you slower. And, you get the added bonus of never knowing when you could experience sudden death or comas because you're simply human and made a mistake of forgetting you already took your dose.
"How's it like to live in fear. That's what it means to be a slave." --Blade Runner
most people do, whether they admit it or not. it's just that ardent zionists are so blazé about it, knowing the likelyhood of their being prosecuted for advocating genocide is nil. at least in my country (canada...where hate speech is a crime, so long as it's against jews. if it's done repeatedly by our national media towards muslims, it's "informed opinion" and "responsible journalism"...i.e. brainwashing)
e.g. Ignatief was the subject of a smear campaign by the zionist press and faction of the liberal party after he called (the simple truth) carpet bombing of civilians and firing missiles for collective punishment in Lebanon, a war crime. not only that, but the National Post routinely publishes anti-Iranian warmongering propaganda such as the (fake) report that iranian jews were being forced to wear holocaust-style yellow ribbons to mark them clearly. if that's not hate speech, if that's not worthy of banishment, concerted, directed efforts to manufacture racist war hysteria, then I don't know what is. let's either strike those laws out, or apply them evenly.
methinks outlawing hate speech (in one direction only, in practice) whilst financing aggressive wars is like screwing on the top to a boiling kettle...eventually it will burst. e.g. at my office, run and owned by jews, it is disgusting how often I hear blatant anti-arab racism and blanket prejudice, not to mention malice and malevolence. mentioning with glee how they are pleased with the gazan "civil war" the israelis and the Us concocted, by subverting a democratically elected government from taking power. The premise is, as usual, the refusal to abandon "terror" (hah, coming from f-16 flyby, missile shooting, door-breaking-in-in-the-middle-of-the-night, torture-you-and-your-relatives in their dungeons, gangster thugs)
it's really sick. most people are afraid to even admit their true feelings, so conditioned they are to only see "jews" as perennial victims, who are implementing their racial supremacist colony every day, and bulldozing more and more homes. I say, hell yeah, censor all the zionists...then they lose their financing...i.e. our (north american's, britons', germans') tax dollars.
valueing style over substance is a primary reason why democracy (Bush), is a flawed concept ("he was *trying*" --during the televised debates). I can assure you, if it weren't for drunkenness, I could write ten perfectly parsed paragraphs why I deserve to benefit personally from the repealing of this US law, and why I frankly don't give a damn why any internaut wouldn't just skip a post without any pagination (fyi, slashdot fubared it, it was my first post and for some reason multiple line feeds were condensed---thus, not my fault). attacking someone's shoes or hair color instead of their arguments is proof positive of dogmatic anal-retentiveness...you should get that checked out whilst I make my millions profiting from poor suckers too dumb to realize gambling is a losing game--for them. it takes a form of religious arrogance, hubris and faith to believe falsely that statistics don't impact you. but in a very personal note...who gives a damn if there are no p tags in a post? skip it if you can't deal with it. Try reading a William Burroughs novel, you'll have a conniption fit.
look, I'm all against fornication and sinning so long as it's others who are forbidden...but if I wanna gamble away my brat's edumacation cuz I have a "problem" then I should be able to! I mean, I could just as easily be a sociopathic philanthropist who gives the same money to heroin squeegee punks who demand more change! like zombies (super chill to the homeless)
but instead, I'm a.Net programmer who profits from a previously legal industry that was destroyed overnight last november by a line item in a port authority bill, that actually had nothing to do with trade other than restricting free trade (online gambling ban is technically illegal according to free trade laws, which America doesn't really care because it doesn't obey any international laws/treaties itself, except it expects others to bow to its magnificence and cower in fear of its new world order of capitalist scumfukkery)
does that make me a hypocrit? directly profiting from the misfortune of others? first off, no. if someone is dumb enough to give their cash away in a game statistically rigged against them, that's their damn fault for valueing the temporary thrill of a win to rational, sanity. same reason why people jump off planes or mountains in flimsy human kites or human bungee yoyos. That is their fault! same thing as others have pointed out about alcohol (not a sin, drink jesus' blood, you vampires) or drugs (metarx? we got a cure for depression: suicide! take two of these and don't call me in the morning, you gullible pill pipping dumbfucks). do we ban alcohol? no! "puritanism was a bad idea in victorian england, and it's a bad idea now", someone once wrote here on slashdot...that's totally true. the more you whitewash humanity through litigation, the more you demand its existence to its subversiveness. there's something very important in THE SPIRIT of PERVERSENESS, the longing of the soul to vex itself, to do wrong for the wrong's sake only, to offer violence to our own natures. maybe it's a survival mechanism...for every 90/100 who are sheep by confluence of genetic predispositions, there are 10 who are vehemently opposed to "going with the flow". uniformity, conformism, are extenction characteristics of a calcified, doomed species. since we're adept at adaptation, I'd say, let the natives profit where they can, off our misery, off their own...and either rise or die as species do. we can do all we can to change or help, but if there's something fundamentally broken in their mindset (I work on a reserve, but am caucasian...so I know something of the suicide stats there and furthermore the ugliness of the big chief/italian/israeli nepotism that is the online gambling industry)
anyway, I hope this damn law gets repealed, because eventually the world will get fed up of america and will massively invest in ways to bring you down...barbarians at your door, so to speak. You can't pretend to be "for the little guy" when the "little guy" can't afford a major surgery, or stand for fairness and justice when there is already a thriving non-internet gambling industry of $30B USD per year. Go against gambling addiction by fighting the root causes...a lust for earthly gold as opposed to gold of character. I'm not talking about forcing spirituality or some other nonsense as a solution (which never worked before, and never will...believing in lies does not illuminate the truth, no matter your pugnacity or persistence to portray it so)...I'm just saying let people make their mistakes, let them have their sins...because the word "sin" only has power to those living in fear of divine repercussions...humans should be ruled by our intellect, flaws and all... in a sane, un-extreme and somewhat fair way. Government nepotism was just as sure a sign of decline of the roman empire as was its military anarchy or civil wars. Politicians are trying to create a theocracy and natural selection will eventually deal with people whos heads are in the sand. Eventually ignorance will be a burden even the US economy will no longer be able to bear.
