Well, yeah.
100 years ago everyone died of manic exhaustion, consumption or bad air.
We now know these causes of death have a real name, not a lumped in catch all.

The afflicted limb was always smaller and weaker than the other one. There were people who spent most of their childhood and all their adult lives in iron lungs. Due to the vaccinations, you don't see that any more. We may have overdone it, but in general, vaccinations are a good thing.

A number of my pre-school friends cought Polio and never returned to the neighborhood.

They did work.

I remember polio kids, and getting my sugar cube when I was young, and I am glad I did.

Mine had LSD on it.

That could all be true but it isnt. What is...is.

I am not nearly as worried about who could have done what as I am your desire to decide which humans are worthy to live and which are not. That is the key topic based on what you put on the table.

Vaccinations protect populations and civilizations. Individuals suffer ill effects sometimes. Beats walking around behind a waggon yelling "Bring out your dead".

Which individual who lives or dies is up to g-d. I'm not saying I have the right to say who should be vaccinated or not. I'm saying that as a population, MDs now-a-days over prescribe medication. Why? Because you can't be sued for prescribing a medication.

Focus. Lets hit the key issue here.

Living and dying is up to who, exactly?

Patchman · 10-08-2012, 19:21

Living and dying is up to nature.

Yes. Just like the biggest momma bear keeps her cubs from getting eaten...so we have developed pharmaceuticals and surgical technology to keep our kids from dying from a number of things. How is that any different from you using a tool for self defense?

Until something supernatural happens...EVERYTHING is natural. Smart is just as natural as strong.

You're saying, let's use man made science to keep the playing field level.

I'm saying, let's use nature to level the playing field.

Man made science is here to stay. OK, I get that. But the human body doesn't change that quickly. Diseases that you get will kill you, or, if you survive it, makes you stronger (and you pass that on to your children). Yes, this sounds like a line from an Arnold Schwarzengger movie, but it's true.

Well, hard to argue with someone with your extensive medical credentials.

If you do, or don't, believe in god, that your thing.

"Darwin" is a shorthand for saying nature's "survival of the fittest" theory. Whether you want to link nature with god, that's up to you.

A lot less people, which wouldn't have been a bad thing.

I have no medical credentials. I only have life experience.

So what are your credentials that says vaccinations are best for mankind? And that no other opinions need apply?

Why?

You weren't born with it. Maybe you shouldn't defend yourself with it. Maybe if you can't defend yourself with your fists, you don't deserve to live. Maybe you should leave it up to God.

See how ridiculous that sounds?

We evolved brains and hands and technology to help us survive in the world. Medicine is just another one of those tools.

OK. you have a gun, and your opponent has a gun. Who lives and who dies is dependent on what?

A monkey will use a stick to get ants out of a tree. Would you argue that this is nature, or would you argue that this "monkey-made technology" is allowing the monkey to get more food than it should naturally have?

The same thing with a bird crafting a nest. The bird knows how to build a sometimes complex structure for the betterment of its offspring.

Next, an ant hill with its maze of tunnels and dedicated egg rooms.

Modern medicine is simply our stick, nest, or ant hill. It is the culmination of our current ability to safeguard our species against danger based on our natural evolution.

You discuss survival of the fittest as if the only thing that matters is strength. Which is more fit to survive, the strong man who only knows how to hold a club or the asthmatic who can't run but knows how to make a musket and can mix black powder?

In the real world, wisdom and cunning will always win over strength or physical constitution. This goes back even to times when humanity was in a very clear "state of nature".

Sun tzu knew this. Atilla knew this. When Napoleon forgot this, he marched into Russia.

1) It's not Arnold, it's Nietzsche.

2) Do you eat food made with preservatives? Packaged in plastic? Canned? Refrigerated? Cooked with any of that sciencey fire? Seems to me that if you find some road kill or a mushroom, you should eat it. Then, if you die, that's what god/nature/Darwin intended. Classifying, cooking, and preserving food all smack of artificially avoiding the natural and good process of either dying off because you can't eat poison or passing on your superior, creator-endowed, genetically-capable digestive system to your progeny.

Since you're giving guns to both people, I'll go ahead and say that we both shoot each other in the gut. One of us goes to a level 2 trauma center and the other to some homeopathic practitioner who spends his days pushing a book against vaccines on his website.

Who lives and who dies? Why do you pick the one you pick?

Lol... Next he's going to tell us Steven Segal proclaimed God is dead, and that he killed him with a roundhouse kick.
