hopemountain's Journalnot reporting a rape does not mean it did
not occur. in addition, there are many possibilities for your other "reasons" why the story is faulted. and yes, there may be faults to the "story" - but a rape may still have occurred.
but you can ask yourself these questions - why did the writer of the story and rolling stone find the story believable? what would point to a woman being raped and then providing a different name? why would the "story" be mixed up? why would the police not find any "evidence" to support the story?
from my own past experience i believe a rape occurred.
cannabis salve saved me from chronic,
debilitating nerve & inflammation pain from fibromyalgia. i'm unable to smoke it - but a basic cannabis & olive oil based salve helps me function and deal with the pain.
disagree. a cannabis
group would allow for expansion of topics related to cannabis as not only medicine and for recreational use, but also many topics to discuss around cultivation, workers/laborers, etc., in addition to all of the other possible topics. "drug policy" is too narrow and conflicts with the broader impacts of cannabis as a legalized herb.
stating exactly what progressives say
but meaning the opposite. mirrors intended to confuse the voters. exactly what the powerful .01% are intending to do to get the votes to support their "prosperity" agenda.
their use of the descriptor "religious freedom" is an example
of twisting and mirroring progressive platforms for their hateful, sick, & twisted agenda for revamped legislation and election campaigns.
alec is particularly good at twisting progressive think into slogans for their pacs and campaigns.
in oregon, alec/kochs have several pacs with very slick ads to "protect our forests" and "protect our rivers" - with these very words to name their dot orgs. their extreme right sponsored legislators have just presented legislation (Oregon – HB 3444, HB 3240, and HJM 13) to transfer federal lands (blm, usfs) to the state of oregon with the express purpose of then opening up the 'state owned lands' for sale to private ownership. and then, to allow un restricted and regulation free logging, mining, herbicide chemical spraying from helicopters, etc - and whatever the hell they can think of to make money off the rich, natural resources on current public lands/federal lands.
another recent example of alec/kochs is their effort to get an l-n-g pipeline approved calling it "opportunities for jobs" in oregon - while planning to run the pipeline through watersheds including the rogue river herself to the coast.
they are despicable.
got it. thanks.
corporations are too damned big for their own britches when they think they are owed money for the money they believe they are entitled to receive even thought it is in the future and in the past and they did nothing to earn it other than to exist.
and this is exactly where the gop want the american public
the recent dis-spiriting news of racial bigotry and crimes against people of color along with the circus and theater in congress are frustrating and overwhelming for many who feel their votes mean nothing.
meanwhile, msm is spreading the "powerless" themes and capitalizing on the sensational depressing stories aimed at democrats and people who respond to the emotional attacks and sensibilities of people who clamor for social justice. the overkill is deadening the populace. jeez. i'm worn out myself - then i come here and it is overwhelming.
positivity, people - let's keep it positive - if there is a disturbing fact or story - provide a solution or action for voters. let's empower one another and strengthen our base.
the gop are well aware that a group of committed individuals can move a progressive agenda and that united we stand - so their tactics are to separate and weaken our resolve and passion for social justice.
put up your shields and show others how to do the same!
well, i have been there
so you cannot tell me not to go there.
i do not go to alt med, by the way. nor do i take things solely because they are touted to be natural.
first, yes, i do have a racial bias about white men in science and their arrogant denigrating attitudes toward women in science. that is an entire category of misogyny & bigotry in and of itself.
second, having faced a catastrophic diagnosis and prognosis in 1985 which i overcame and survived against odds by not following my specialist's pharmaceutical recommendations - but instead working with this doctor for over a year to monitor my status on a weekly basis. "what are you doing? it's amazing" i was asked and though i detailed my activities, diet, and lifestyle changes - the doctor did not notate nor acknowledge one single thing i did to alter my life's trajectory.
first do no harm?
when one considers the deaths and complications individuals have suffered at the hands of poorly regulated pharmaceuticals with known but not reported side effects and contraindications it is more likely first, harm is done. just look at the courts and try reading the inserts with medications these days - and the requirements for constant monitoring with frequent blood panels.
i do agree - medicine is medicine is medicine - but base my respect and honoring of medicine on healing - not only white man's narrowly and inept definition of science. science is in it's infancy. so much is unknown - there should be some respect for this fact.
incorrect.
according to you the only medicine is that discovered by white men over the past 300 years, right? from the way pharmaceuticals are ravaging the last few remaining cornucopia's of medicinal plants and healing medicinal cures & modalities used by indigenous shamans, your statement is incorrect.
let me tell you, if you were suffering from some type of dysfunction - bronchial infection or other, and there are no eastern type doctors or pharmacies for hundreds of miles around - good luck to you.
