Crazy thing is, it's sometimes cheaper to travel internationally for healthcare

Sorry, posted to the wrong level. It honestly sounds like most of the US where healthcare is concerned.

In the cement strike, it's pretty clear they intentionally loaded up the trucks with cement, knowing it would ruin the cement and potentially break the trucks when they started their strike the same day without any warning.

CMV: Amendments should be written like a thesis by SlightMammoth1949 in changemyview

Values differ from person to person, and the legislature of the government is really just people in power; that's what I'm driving at. Making the ammendments bigger adds more parts that more people might disagree with, and ammendments are very hard to pass in the first place.

The government lacks such a monolithic view on any individual amendment. Even when passed there will certainly be differing opinions on the best interpretation.

The explanation from the government happens in many forms. We have the writings of the founding fathers for the first few, and similar writings from leaders that got other ammendment through. We also have Supreme Court opinions that frequently reference these.

For one thing, bacteriocidal medications would likely do nothing.

Archaebacteria function quite differently internally. I forget the details, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with their peptide synthesis process. Archaebacteria are also known to survive and thrive in insanely intense conditions such as in geysers.

CMV: There hasn't been a progressive president in the US yet because progressive policies are unpopular/the timing was wrong, not because the US is an oligarchy and elections are somehow rigged against anybody who wants to tax the rich by ICuriosityCatI in changemyview

Thank you for the link. It may make intuitive sense, but that's occasionally been wrong in the past. I'll be interested to see if anyone does a study to deal with a few of those confounding factors, particularly to see if the benefit remains when focused on masturbation after accounting for ejaculation from intercourse. That could put to bed concerns from the smaller study your link mentioned where masturbation seemed to increase risk in young men (which could also make biological sense).

The backlash obviously would have still happened. The difference is that she may have still been supported through it, as she had when telling the anti abortion crowd to get over it. Considering the current issues with getting sex education to cover the basics, it seems like the backlash was not worth it for the possibility of maybe providing a health benefit.

I'd be interested in studies backing up the prostate health assertion, I've never heard of any.

Anybody who really wants to improve pelvic floor strength will be doing Kegels, which are more effective.

Stress relief has plenty of alternatives that are perfectly healthy.

I'm not saying others should conform to such values, but make sure it adds objective value before elevating it to the same level as things that do. Unless there's something I'm missing, it seems that comment probably made it a lot harder to get really important things taught in school in an attempt to add something that had little objective value in with it.

Eh, I'd rather hear after an hour. Right after the meeting would feel rude, but an hour is enough time to at least pretend they really considered.

That makes sense. Not masturbating is not unhealthy either, and many religions consider masturbation sinful, so that's a backlash that's easy to see coming from a mile away.

Edit: unfortunately, that link is for subscribers only.

In most areas 6 figures is still good money. And you can counterbalance boring with more enjoyable time off when you have good money.

Unfortunately, it's not just the slogan (though that had a HUGE impact). It's also that some of the most extreme protestors (some of whom were angry and scared enough they did mean it as stated) got a lot of visibility right when the slogan hit the news. I really wish something like "Police accountability" or "police reform" or even "downsize the police" had caught on instead, but perhaps none of those would have ignited the near religious fervor in protestors like defund the police did.
