Yes. And that has nothing to do with the topic. But thanks for sharing. It's raining here right now. No, that's not relevant to the discussion, but neither were your comments.
In the neo-natal unit, the rules were immediate family only, or others with written permission of the duty nurse, and even then, only breastfeeding mothers are allowed outside hospital visiting hours. In the geriatric unit, the rule was "anyone any time", even relaxing the official hospital visiting hours.
The hospitals set rules, but the rules aren't consistent across departments or duty nurses, and that will open them up to lawsuits, unless they have a simple written policy.
When you are too unconscious to name the person who is authorized, and they are out (at the movies, working, whatever), and it's bad practice to keep all possible papers on you at all times, they would be unable to prove it when they got there.
So a person with a matching last name is presumed family.
I've seen no plan that is remotely practical that would allow pre-identification of those allowed, and even when someone does set the rules, they are unenforceable. Your mother has the right to be in your room if you aren't conscious and ordering her out. Even with an iron-clad living will, family has the right to be involved, just like valid wills are challenged all the time by family and others.
Do you know that the vast majority of those "sex scandals" was caused by homosexuals (and actually not priests but teachers in church funded schools)?
In the US, the scandals were almost exclusively ordained priests, not teachers or such. Also, the teachers i church funded schools are required to be members of the church. At least for the schools I know the details of. Thus they were all 100% church funded, ordained, certified, and all that. At least in the US, 100% of the scandal was the church's members abusing children, and the church refusing to expose and correct the behavior, but instead covering up and actually encouraging it.
civil unions is your civil right, I support it - having sex with Jesus is not! Please stop suppressing my right to religion.... everyone will benefit from that.
Jesus hung out with 12 guys. He preached "love" all the time. You honestly think that Hippie Jesus wasn't having sex with John? There's a reason neither married a woman. The wording of nuns, married to Jesus or God, is very similar to what John did, married to Jesus.
Nobody is having sex with Jesus, except John, and Mary in a 3-way. In heaven.
How in any way is anyone suppressing your right to religion?
Considering how the Lutheran church allows openly gay pastors, I assume they would be ones on the list that would. And you don't need a church for a marriage.
George W got in Yale as a legacy because his grades weren't good enough. He was handed benefits based on who his daddy was. That's affirmative action. If AA was abolished, it would still exist, but would be rich white-person only AA, as it was before AA was started. That's the reason it exists today, because the racism that exists benefits whites, so AA tries to balance the opportunities, to achieve some semblance of equality in our biased society.
And every society has also made meat a topic of control.
The primitives did so because they knew that eating pork made you sick. They didn't know what food poisoning was, so they asserted that the meats or animals were mystical.
Sodomy with an infected person is a transmission risk for almost all diseases.
There's nothing "moral" in the reasons. Other than the governments asserted so when declaring it.
You want to claim every people in history were a bunch of fools, be my guest. But, only other fools will believe you.
There are many good pieces of advice in the many historical and religious books handed down. They stumbled on many things. The Bible says pi is 3, which isn't a bad estimation for someone building a well by hand 3000 years ago. But that doesn't mean that there is a math proof in the Book, or that the Book is wrong because those who wrote it down didn't understand the meaning. Someone noticed the pattern, and put it in the Book. Like the rules on crops, fabrics, and cleanliness.
They weren't fools. They were just ignorant. Now that we have germ theory, we can understand what they were seeing, and how it would look to those without a germ theory, who attributed everything unknown to God. But that doesn't mean they did what they did for intelligent and fully-informed reasons.
Because the power of the contract is so large, it is restricted, both entering and dissolving. The restrictions have usually been bigoted. Enforcing social norms through law. Banning blacks from marrying whites, gays, peasants, and other groups have been targeted as well.
It'll never happen. How does the ICU at the hospital keep mere acquaintances out of sensitive areas, while balancing the "right" of family to visit. If the government wasn't in marriage in any way, you could marry everyone in your town, so anyone you know would have the right to visit you in the ER, and any of the thousands of other rights and powers coded in law or policy to married people. It's not just taxes.
There is a Gay Agenda. Those Gays want to be able to walk the streets without being tied to the back of a pickup and dragged until dead, or left for dead, just because someone is offended by their manerisms. That's an agenda. I think that rather than "hide" the agenda, the gays should own it. "Yes we have an agenda, we want to e treated like humans."
So long as the government is expected to arbitrate the terms of contracts, there is no such thing as a private contract. I can't privately contract myself into slavery, of for sex for hire, or a large number of things, for various reasons. Private contracts don't exist, until such time as the government abolishes all human rights, so they aren't expected to step in for unfair, coerced, or otherwise illegal contracts.
Also, in this case, the public contract has been around so long that many laws have been written assuming it. "Family" law assumes and is built around government-approved marriages. To change marriage would change thousands of laws, with unknown and untested consequences.
The processed water is then reintroduced to the environment upstream of the community that originally created the wastewater.
So "toilet to tap" is the same thing we've been doing for a very long time. It's just a new word for the same thing, to make people hate their tap water, and adds no useful dinstinction or information to the conversation.
Got it. Thanks for confirming it's a useless buzzword used by pedants and markeing departments, with no technical meaning.
It means "wastewater into a shared waterway that's used for municipal water supply", the same as we've had for a very long time. Nothing new or useful.
Though it makes me wonder why some idiots are so passionate about a word with no meaning.
And yes, there's no functional difference when I'm drinking the water from a toilet in Gainsville, vs from a toilet in Dallas when I'm in Dallas. Both are drinking toilet water. Both are from a toilet to the tap.
The windows ones were less successful, which is why it has a functional, as well as form-factor meaning. A Windows 8 device with 16 GB or ram, quad-core i7, and big SSD isn't a "netbook" no matter what the form factor. "netbook" means small, cheap, and with only the power to surf the web. So the powerful small devices are called tablets, convertables, or ultrabooks, depending on the form factor, but never netbooks.
You look to be clinging to the "original" definition of them, that was form-factor driven, not the actual use of the word, which has evolved as devices evolved.
Then give a definition, rather than telling me mine is wrong. 99% of the jackasses who do that would argue with any definition I give, so there's no point in me wasting my time.
I get it, you are the self-appointed guardian of "toilet to tap" and argue with anyone who uses that phrase.
The UK is anti-immigration, and has been for a long time. I was surprised when I saw them join, knowing it opened their borders to all EU citizens. I've since seen many complaints in the UK media and elsewhere about the level, numbers and types of people entering the UK for work.
Dallas doesn't pull any water from the Trinity River. It pulls water from reservoirs, and not all of them are fed by the Trinity.
It pulls primarily from reservoirs that are man-made dammings of the Trinity River.
Toilet to tap is not common in the US, and it is non-existent in Dallas.
Where does Gainsville put its waste? Where does Dallas draw most of its water (previously nearly all)?
Yes, I'm over-simplifying slightly when I consider a wide, slow section of the Trinity River to be the Trinity River, but Louisville Lake is the Trinity River, just dammed and slowed. And waste is thrown in that river, and drinking water is take from it.
You've not contradicted me, just argued with me. Why are you being contentious over something you didn't even really disagree on?
Maybe because when they ask, all the luddites are jackasses about it and can't articulate a single problem with them. So far the only complaint I've seen is that they help concentrate other pollution. If there was no other pollution, they'd be harmless is the implication. So why focus on a catalyst, and not the problem? IF they have a negative, why can't the luddites share it, rather than insulting anyone who asks about them?
I'm aware that there are places that make potable water from effluent, but no major city does that with all their sewage, or even most of their sewage.
Then how do cities like New Orleans do it? The get at least some of their water from the Mississippi, and there's a lot of waste added to that along the way.
Dallas pulls from the Trinity River (less now than when it was founded, at least percentage-wise). It does pump the water into some city resevoirs, which are then used as settling tanks. The only problem with that is White Rock Lake needed millions of dollars of dredging, as the lake became more and more shallow. Though that wasn't the Trinity. They dammed that and used Lake Dallas as the settling tank (now known as Lewisville Lake, though the naming isn't always consistent). And Lake Ray Roberts is upstream of that. Not sure what the percentages of drinking water from each, but it's well filtered after. White Rock Lake is less filtered than Lake Dallas. Maybe that's because Gainsville dumps waste into the river, which needs more filtering, or maybe it's related to the rules that allow motor vehicles on Lake Dallas, but not White Rock Lake.
Toilet to tap is common. Most of the water I've drunk was toilet to tap. Only when I moved to Alaska were the main sources of water pure mountain streams that are more pure at the start of the purification process than the ideal tap water in most places. The main treatment is to clean the natural organisms out of the water.

Then you could marry a new person every day, and divorce them every night, right?
