The media is ridiculously one sided on the Israel-Palestine conflict

[DD]

I don't think it fell flat. I think you just didn't like it because it's true. I also think it's funny a guy who is in a profession that doesn't require education past high school is giving people who clearly have advanced degrees.

No, it fell flat, just own it--want me to tell the original joke that was made by someone much smarter and funnier than you? Lemme know.

Yes, I laugh at people who have advanced degrees and are making less than half of what I make. , I still laugh at the money wasted on MY BA, and that's not even an advanced one.

If I could go back and redo anything it would be to save the bread and not get that first bachelors. Perfecting a trade (critical care and flight medicine) and having connections>>>>having a Master's in Philosophy and making pennies

[DD]

Is your supervisor a med-school dropout?

You're still going with the "EMT's are med-school dropouts!" joke? Cut your losses already

Yeah go for it

Yes, I laugh at people who have advanced degrees and are making less than half of what I make.

I sincerely doubt they make less than half what you make.

University of Phoenix?

Perfecting eh? Are you a supervisor?

How about this, since you're so awesome: Why don't you show your posts to your supervisors? See what happens.

Is that a yes?

[Cry Havoc]

This thread is already derailed so what happened? Was she your fiancé?

Yuuuup. Stupid enough of me to involve myself with crazy, but hey if you care about someone, sometimes you take risks to try to make them happy.

Fact is, she was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Completely psychotic. Borderline personality disorder to a T. Manipulative. Tossed out ultimatums like they're candy. So I gave her one of my own, told her if she didn't get help, I was gone. She didn't.

I bolted. Told her I was leaving. She slammed a bottle of downers. I made sure she didn't off herself, and then got the out. The if I'm going to stick around when you use attempted suicide as a means of keeping me around.

Stupidest thing I've ever done, man, sticking around for her health as long as I did. Haha. You live and learn. I feel bad for whoever tries to pick up where I left off.

I'd rather make 80k and be happy with what I'm doing than 300k and hate my job.

Very un-beta thing of you to do. Glad you're outta that relationship.

[DD]

Yeah go for it

What do you call a doctor who got C's in medschool? A Doctor.

You went a completely different direction to crowbar a joke that didn't fit--and even then, the answer to your stupid joke would be nurses, since they fail out much more often than medics do. There's a reason med schools are hesitant to let them in--because they've never operated with any autonomy in their lives. Now do you see how unfunny and try-hard that was? Just say yes, it'll be easier.

I sincerely doubt they make less than half what you make.

If they make over 60K, you're right...but I know for a fact most liberals on this site are ashamed to post what they do for a reason. Look at pgardn, for example. He referenced some project that he may have heard about or was a consultant on for a few days--but he's not making any real money on that.

University of Phoenix?

herp-derp, so funny and original! University of Maryland--which I can safely say is a better academic ins ution than whatever school begrudgingly granted you admission.

Perfecting eh? Are you a supervisor?

You're really keen on this supervisor schtick, aren't you?

How about this, since you're so awesome: Why don't you show your posts to your supervisors? See what happens.

Men higher than them have access to everything I post here. They can take a screenshot of what I'm doing anytime they like, yet here I still stand making an ass out of you

Anything else?

I love my job, never had it easier--actually kicking myself for not doing this several years ago. I also wish I made 300K

Still stay in contact?

Me too. Yeah I put my head down over a lot of , but I was seriously worried about her life. You make concessions and convince yourself it's for the greater good. But at some point that has to stop. Worst days of my life wondering what she was going to have a breakdown over next.

I'm with a non crazy chick now, and it's ing awesome. She's also hotter than the last. Upgrades are fun.

What do you call a doctor who got C's in medschool? A Doctor.

lol that's the joke you were talking about? See my joke was about flunking out. While it's not as funny as the joke about C's getting degrees, it's a different punchline.

You went a completely different direction to crowbar a joke that didn't fit

It does fit. EMTs are basically nurses that don't have to go to nursing school. So it only makes sense a doctor that can't finish their medical degree would oversee those people

You know these things for a fact? Ok then I know for a fact you don't make $120,000/yr.

herp-derp, so funny and original!

Thanks!

University of Maryland--which I can safely say is a better academic ins ution than whatever school begrudgingly granted you admission.

Unfortunately you're wrong. Washington University in St. Louis is consistently ranked above the University of Maryland. Sorry.

You're really keen on this supervisor schtick, aren't you?

Well you keep dodging it so yeah.

What does this mean, "men higher than them"?

[Shastafarian]

Back on topic:

Israel has admitted the soldier they initially reported as being captured was killed in the suicide attack that also killed two other soldiers. Unfortunately I must admit this seems nefarious in the sense they used the capture itself as justification for furthered hammering of Gaza. I still think the ceasefire ultimately broke because of Hamas but this doesn't look good. I truly wish a more moderate govt had been elected in Israel.

You are stupid beyond belief. Medics and Nurses are two completely different HCP's and neither require a 4-year degree. Also I explained to you the rationale behind the RN-med-school logic but you conveniently left that part out of my quote--the ONLY omission you made of my entire quote--which is telling. It says you recognize you were wrong. On to the next thing...

"You know these things for a fact?" You or anyone else is welcome to provide evidence to the contrary. I've never hid my profession, unlike others, and it's common knowledge that the very least an expat medic will make in AFG is 100K. You're welcome to find any link saying otherwise (if they are, they're a sucker). So again, please provide evidence of your current salary if you wanna take this route. If it's more than half, you'll have my apology. Next...

Washington University in St. Louis. Not bad, what's your degree in? Don't even waste my time if it's a liberal arts one--cause all that means is you paid more than I did for a piece of paper. If it's not--tie this into the previous question and tell me the fruits of your degree and what it's netting you.

No, I'm not an EMT Supervisor and that's not even a le out here...that's not even a position in FD's back home Are you finished with that dead joke now?

and lastly--The Site/Project Managers of Southern Afghanistan Operations can read and take a screenshot of my stuff anytime they damn well please--and that's been the case since I've been out here.

[Clipper Nation]

Remember the old, I was just trolling schtick?

Th' got getting all emotional about DD's takes

[Clipper Nation]

Lol you're an intervenious drug using degenerate gambling racist who's a medic in the world's asshole.

^ More emotion from Th' got

[Shastafarian]

You are stupid beyond belief. Medics and Nurses are two completely different HCP's and neither require a 4-year degree.

I never said nursing school was 4 years

Also I explained to you the rationale behind the RN-med-school logic but you conveniently left that part out of my quote--the ONLY omission you made of my entire quote--which is telling. It says you recognize you were wrong.

I left it out because it was based on your conjecture and opinion and I didn't feel like responding to it. My joke still holds water, even if it's not perfect

"You know these things for a fact?" You or anyone else is welcome to provide evidence to the contrary.

Why would anyone show a person such as yourself proof of their professional gains? You're a nazi.

What would this evidence entail?

Washington University in St. Louis. Not bad

It's quite a bit better than your ins ution since you brought it up

, what's your degree in? Don't even waste my time if it's a liberal arts one--cause all that means is you paid more than I did for a piece of paper. If it's not--tie this into the previous question and tell me the fruits of your degree and what it's netting you.

I got a BA in Anthropology, minor in Biology. Used it to become a doctor. Oops.

No, I'm not an EMT Supervisor and that's not even a le out here...that's not even a position in FD's back home Are you finished with that dead joke now?

I didn't mean it as a " le" but unless you're the boss, you have someone over you ie a supervisor.

and lastly--The Site/Project Managers of Southern Afghanistan Operations can read and take a screenshot of my stuff anytime they damn well please--and that's been the case since I've been out here.

That's not what I said. I said you should show them your posts. Just because they didn't happen to catch your bigoted comments doesn't mean they would approve. But you won't do that because it's easy to be a bigot if you can hide behind a screen name. Am I right?

So you're in Afghanistan now? I honestly don't know the background of it.

How have you gotten this far and not realized this by now?

and at being a doctor and making less than someone whose "profession doesn't require any education past high school." Oops

[pgardn]

What's the project? Would love to look into the details

Fluorochromes...

Binding them to the right antibodies (bio)and then, the tough part, actually getting them to fluoresce (Biochem)correctly to be picked up by sensors (physics). Then having right settings on the photomultipliers (physics)and sensors so that the signal can elicit enough range of electrical signals (physics) so that a human can look at it properly or read it off a graph. Requires the computer nerds. I am not an expert in anyone area but can translate and communicate across groups.

Huge question: What if you could use more than 3 lasers and a wider range of fluorochromes so that one would take out the overlap and the lab personnel would not have to be so highly trained (art and experience) in choosing the proper fluorochrome panel. It has been done. But there are some hang ups on all fronts.

Look up flow cytometry.

So now your turn. How did the distaste for saving some people lead you to Hitler?

[Shastafarian]

How have you gotten this far and not realized this by now?

so you're ting on jobs other posters have but you work in a third world hole? For real? I'd rather be a janitor in the US than anything in Afghanistan. Holy I know lol is used colloquially but I did just laugh out loud.

and at being a doctor and making less than someone whose "profession doesn't require any education past high school." Oops

I currently make less this is true (though you just assumed) but that's because I just graduated. I'll be making a considerable amount more than you in a couple years with the bonus of not being in Afghanistan (also without being a nazi, which is a plus).

[Shastafarian]

But you won't do that because it's easy to be a bigot if you can hide behind a screen name. Am I right?

An Israeli white phosphorous round explodes over a Gaza residential area. 11 January 2009

That's from Operation Cast Lead.

wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Wa...%E2%80%9309%29

Here is a report by Human Rights Watch:

http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/fil...9webwcover.pdf

Hamas just doesn't learn from the retaliation Israel is willing to inflict.

Will Hamas ever learn?

[Wild Cobra]

Israel cast the "rain of fire" for reasons like this:

As of January 13, 2009, Palestinian militants had launched approximately 565 rockets and 200 mortars at Israel since the beginning of the conflict, according to Israeli security sources.[221] A source close to Hamas described the movement's use of stealth when firing: "They fired rockets in between the houses and covered the alleys with sheets so they could set the rockets up in five minutes without the planes seeing them. The moment they fired, they escaped, and they are very quick."[222] It is reported that 102 rockets and 35 mortars were fired by Fatah, Hamas' chief rival.[223]
