How do you feel about assisted suicide at the end of your journey in this life.

Amisja comments on Feb 4, 2019:

I am against assisted suicide. As a nurse, I have seen suffering too, however no person is an island and I think there is no real way to be sure that this is the individual's own desires or someone elses'. Already in some countries, we are seeing assisted suicide of the mentally ill, children and I ...

Amisja replies on Feb 4, 2019:

I suppose coming from the same county as Harold Shipman, I have a different view. I once cared for an elderly lady who told me that every time she saw her granddaughter she would complain about their cramped home. The old lady told me that if she went the house would be available for her grandaughter and that was why she wanted to end her life (she was refusing all interventions). I said, but don't you want to live and she said, 'its not about me now is it'. We have not made sophisticated enough tests to ensure another person is not influencing us. I hate seeing people suffer and it crushes me when someone tells me they want to die. My usual response is, 'do you want to die or do you want this suffering to end?' I have never encountered anyone who said they wanted just to die. For the most part the members on this site are intelligent and thoughtful but most people just aren't. We can convince people they are a burden when they really aren't, we can convince people their suffering cannot be relieved when it can.

I don't think the U.S. even has a nation-wide rubric for treating the mentally ill. It would vary so much from state to state. From what I can see, we either consign them to group homes run by non-profits, turn em loose but medicated, or even run em for President!

Amisja replies on Feb 4, 2019:

@davknight No I mean like me, I am a clinical practitioner (nursing background) as such I can decide (alongside my patients) the best course of action for my patients and either prescribe (if its on my list) or recommend prescriptions. Its not my fulltime job anymore but I still do it from time to time. If I make an error then that's up to me. No one tells me how to act. I just have to show I am acting in the best interests of my patients.

@twshield In the 1970s in UK they had this things on TV called 'the Black and White Minstrel show'. It was loads of men in exaggerated 'black face', singing with white women. It was variety and my parents would never have allowed that on their TV (more to do with it being low brow than the racial aspect). It was racist then and certainly wouldn't be accepted in 2019. It is the idea that an entire group of human beings can be banded together based on what? Slight variation in haplotype which is at its most complex a set of genetic determinants located on a single chromosome. This guy possibly had some misguided notion of making a statement, or being outrageous. I have known 100s medical students and they all work bloody hard and play harder.

@Moravian Sometimes the differences are so subtle as to be difficult to accurately explain. As in the word 'Momentarily' which has a slightly different meaning in USA. The 'alpha' course which came to UK from USA, wrapped Christianity in some woo wooey self help jargon and does appeal to youngsters, however it has recently come under a huge amount of criticism, especially in the context of shaming sexually active young people and trying to undo the concepts of Gillick competency. In my experience these god botherers can only push their message so far (until they try to ban mince pies ;) ) before Brits hit back.

Why do men save badly worn-out clothes?

Amisja comments on Feb 2, 2019:

Actually I do this. As a sewer, I find it difficult to throw things away.

Amisja replies on Feb 2, 2019:

@jvenus I buy most of my clothes from secondhand shops (not undies). I find that is the only way I can afford any really high class stuff. I sew lots too.

Amisja comments on Feb 2, 2019:

It doesn't you know.

Amisja replies on Feb 2, 2019:

@Moravian I lived in USA for years, I never felt so British (wtf that means). We are not American or even Americanised...we are a mongrel country that takes the good bits of other nations and gets rid of the rest. The UK will never become so overtly religious as USA, many have tried and they have always failed. We are at source at set of wild n wooly anglo saxon heathens.

How is this not racist? I wonder what's going on in some people's heads.

Amisja replies on Feb 2, 2019:

@Bobby9 Why do you think they wouldn't resemble their relatives? That is just silly. This beautiful girl is my sister and she looks just like my Mum. The little fella is my nephew and looks and behaves exactly like my youngest son.

Amisja comments on Feb 2, 2019:

Dave this 100% racist and utterly ignorant. In UK less than 10% of the population is 100% caucasian. There is far more genetic divergence within races than between them. I am officially the whitest person earth (According to 3 out of 3 fellas) and even I have Asian friends who are paler than me. ...

@Tilia awwww. Good luck with the move.

If you think the country is being destroyed by porn and the LGBT community, and you support the NRA,...

Denker comments on Feb 2, 2019:

I don’t particularly care about the rest of the stuff, but porn? I mean, I know porn has become more accepted because of the internet’s easy access to it, but that doesn’t mean it is a good thing. I’m kinda against porn.

Amisja replies on Feb 2, 2019:

@irascible @Denker @OwlInASack May I weigh in? I agree that modern pornography is harmful. It sometimes focusses on the 'barely legal' and from experience working with offenders this directly lead to a desire to look at inages of children. Porn is also rather like heroin in that over time its potency becomes less effective, hence the desire for sronger stuff. Cooersion is also a feature in addition to out and out violence.

I have a demon on my wall. Do you think it's a sign and can I make any money off this?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 1, 2019:

No money in demons, unless you get an exorcism and sell the book and film rights. Try renaming it something else like a hairy alien. Or the spirit of Ghengis Khan.

Amisja replies on Feb 2, 2019:

Oh I think some looney Christians would love it. Especially if there were some 'hauntings' #wecouldmakeakilling

You can learn to do pretty well anything with a little help. Try googling the problem or looking for a helpful video on Youtube or elsewhere. You sound as if you are perfecty competent - just not used to doing certain things,

It's not stupid, it's what you need to know or not.....I cannot operate boilers - my parents, my father in laws, my neighbors, because I have not lived with one for over thirty years.

How is it west of the watershed we are still free here in Lincolnshire ? I think the worst is in the south.

Flu shot anyone?

Orbit comments on Feb 1, 2019:

I always get a flu shot, and even if I still get the flu, it's not as bad as it would be without the vaccine.

You shouldn't get the flu, you might get a bad cold.

Biosteelman comments on Feb 1, 2019:

That sounds like the list of a very intelligent capable woman. What kind of heater is it? Does it use a boiler or maybe do you need to light the pilot?

Boiler needed reseting
