I honestly don't know what we're arguing about because we agree?
I'm going to play video games now.

changeling (might) = better than being burnt at the stake. Even if changeling perception = killed its better when you're little to be killed, than being killed when you're older. Mary says that if I lived back then my mh differences would have taken a different form and I might have ended up touched instead of ending up this way. She probably said that to make me feel better. It kind of worked, but I don't believe her, I should be so lucky.
Great points Jack about kids and germs etc.
Maybe honesty and saying exactly what you want to say can be a form of trolling, even if you're not being mean. With this group I think that is indeed the case.

Perception is reality Riona....
It blows my mind how the RWED, on a daily basis, has tons of realities colliding everyday.
I'll step aside from the conversation now, and just address the main thread topic.
"CDC says flu shot only 9% effective against flu".....
That's shitty odds....
I got better odds at winning a free scratch off ticket when I buy one....
In my book, that's not worth it to me. Even when I was sick for a week longer after replacing my sump-pump, it wasn't because of "the flu". I was still hungry for food as ever.
For anybody else, be my guest. Let them pump you with whatever vile viles of whatever they have cooked up in a lab and maybe you'll do better. I'll take my chances. It's worked out so far, and I haven't had health insurance since 2009 (and didn't use it once since I first got it in 2005).
Here's hoping I live only the average life expectancy before 1912.
Why would I want to work one day longer than when my youth/beauty failed me, and more importantly, one day after I was no longer able to climax?
Thanks for using my "fear of death" to line your pockets with the money that I should have bequeathed to my next of kin hospitals/government, but not this guy. You can take those needles and shiny cutting objects and stick them up your ass and spin on them...
When I get sick enough that the local no-appointment clinic can't do anything, I'll only need enough money to keep me drunk and/or high enough to bear the pain until I'm dead and then I can be one of the few remaining people in the 99% that can actually supplement their loved one's income instead of taking away from it when they die.
My living will says not to do a damn thing with me unless I'm conscious enough, with a sane mind, to ask for it.
I don't want the hospitals/government to get one fucking dime of the meager castle I've built. One day, this may be my brother's home, and I'll be dammned if some hospital is going to take that away from him because of some laws that demand they keep bleeding my equity while keeping me alive.

One of the commonly recommended remedies for a changeling is to throw the evil child upon the hearth fire or into an oven. So not really.
If the child were truly a disguised fairy, they'd take their true form and flee the house, never to return - meanwhile human problem children would be killed and most authority types would look the other way, so it kinda worked out for the beleaguered parents.

Hmm. I kind of agree.
In the very least it's clear that our medical system is screwed up - I don't think it's productive to ruin people's lives and destroy their assets with exorbitant costs and skyrocketing insurance just to keep them alive.
Of course it's not better if they died, but the way things work right now it almost becomes a tempting alternative for some of them after they've lost their job and their finances are ruined. Becomes a question of whether it's really about helping people after all.

I still maintain that being burned alive is better the younger you are, you understand less of what's up.

I would think there's not much ambiguity no matter what age you are.

Preying on the sick and dying is the mode of scavengers and parasites. If someone provides a service and their customer/client comes out at the end worse off then they went into it, then they aren't honest, and they aren't humane.
I know I give the impression of hating medicine, and I don't intend to. Science and medicine are great advances, and we still have progress to make, things to learn. Vaccines were progress when they were invented, and they have changed things. Small pox was eliminated.
But there's some styles of medicine practice and hospital management and businesses associated with it all that kind of offend me because they exploit the people depending on them.
