    He has already won. He broke bones in a man's face partially blinding him, got no jail time, kept his job, merely goes on vacation for 45 days and loses a little pay.

    I'd not be surprised to see him win his case and put that poor woman in jail.

    I wonder, are most cops psychotic or just some?

    Ahh yes, lets have more blame for people who don't know who to trust, but decline to address the blatantly obvious in your fucking face fact that they don't know who to trust because of the way they are lied to constantly and every day.

    This is not their fault. It's the governments fault, and the reason it is the governments fault is that the government does not serve the people, the government serves the money that elects it. A huge portion of that money comes from drug companies.

    This is not going to change any time soon. The first thing is that you have to admit that it's a problem rather than blaming people who suffer from the consequences.

    OK, I take it back, you can blame them if you want but it won't change anything.

    When most of the people on drug review boards are compensated by drug companies, it'd difficult to trust their collective objectivity.

    So, identify the experts for me. Is it the doctors? Pharmacists? The drug companies? Who?

    So you see what a wicked web we weave when we say it's OK to lie to people.

    Transparency please.

    My children are grown up, and I was speaking in general terms.

    What you say is true, at least I believe it be so. My point is that it is the state of society today that people are lied to, to such an extent, that it is difficult to trust anything anyone says without first hand knowledge.

    So who can really blame them for fearing for the safety of their children?

    I really dislike big pharma and it is part of the reason I do all I can to avoid using their products or services.

    I've extended that boycott to ALL corporations. It's tough to do, but I think about where every dollar I spend goes.

    People are still reluctant to give their children vaccine shots

    When you can't trust the government or media, how do you know? These are your kids.

    The people that sit on drug review boards are almost all taking money in some form from drug companies. Similarly, the people who work in government agencies. It's now up to you to decide what is dangerous and what is not. The government no longer serves the people, it serves corporations. You, buddy, are on your own.

  17. Re:Can't they moderate their own wall? on Drug Companies Lose Special Protection On Facebook · · Score: 1

    But don't you think if you got a little bit of information on a patient--where they lived, when they died, a little bit of info on their history (enough to know what other drugs they might have tried), and a doctor or two of theirs, that you could guess a fair number of patient identities from the numbers?

    Considering the huge amount of research that goes into tracking internet footprints, I would say that tracing identities from prescription info in the manner you suggest would be a no brainer.
