This one is obvious!

I thought the same thing. I lost an uncle, Tim, to non-hodgekins lymphoma at the age of 58. He lived ten years after diagnosis but the treatments didn't help IMO. He hated them too. If I get it I might wait or weigh my options, but prayer would be my first response. I think they have found cures but we'll never get them, only the elite get the real cures. :idunno:Personal anecdote on cancer:
My mom was diagnosed with a golf ball sized tumor. Who knows how long it had been growing. She had a good bodyweight and was quite active for her age.
Two years later AFTER TREATMENTS, she was cancer free. But she was a shell of herself, frail, weak, with a weak mind and very little will to live.
Who knows how long she could have lived WITH cancer and how good her quality of life may have been without treatment.
If I was diagnosed with cancer, I doubt that I would undergo the normal treatment. I would eat raw, continue to exercise, and live as long as I could, as well as I could.
You missed the real and obvious ones like Danica Patrick, last post on previous page.
So you're indecisive?I wasn't even going to acknowledge this, but changed my mind.
I'd answer that's not quite, but almost as funny as the flat earth bit. So there's that. Intelligence is a good indicator of independent and critical thinking. The better educated you are the more likely you are to be that sort of person.I say it's too bad that the educational system in this country so greatly limits it's graduates ability to think independently and critically.
Who would have conducted those studies again? More seriously, I recall a study several years ago that came to the conclusion that around a third of undergraduates didn't significantly increase that capacity, which is a far cry from your note.Did you know there are studies out that show that college graduates show a either a decline in the ability to think critically over what they had when they entered college or no increase in that ability?
One has nothing to do with the other.And since you're such a smart guy I won't provide the links to the studies.
I'm not generally in the habit of attempting to make the case for someone else absent a retainer. Or, it's up to you to substantiate your claims with reason and authority. I noted one I recalled...went back and, bless NPR, they had it online here.You ought to be able to find them on your own.
Your feet are smelly. Same level of evidence, but I'm betting mine at least has a chance of being correct.You demonstrate your lack of critical thinking ability quite clearly.
Nah, but let's see what you believe does the trick.I'll show how with a few questions.
Of course not. But are dishonest politicians the rule? And are they dishonest in a more meaningful way than most of their constituency?Are all politicians honest?
If there are dishonest politicians wouldn't that stand to reason without the new angle? Is it your belief that a reasonable acceptance of the notion that some politicians are dishonest and/or corrupt should immediately become, without argument or reason in support, the rule?Are there corrupt politicians
If they are dishonest politicians they'd have to, or you'd be asking, "Are there dishonest people who are also politicians?"Do they ever lie to the public?
To gather intelligence, on both enemies and allies and to use that intelligence to the benefit of our nation and interests.What is the underlying main mission of an intelligence agency?
Supra. Or, no, though it is certainly true that in collecting intelligence we seek to understand what is true and what isn't and to, where it serves our interests, mislead our enemies or competitors in ways that provide an advantage. Sometimes men have done unscrupulous things with that power. So a healthy skepticism is reasonable.Is it not to understand deciet practiced by others and how to use the ability to decieve for it's own purposes?
That you haven't made the point you mean to yet.What do the answers to these questions tell you?
Are you suggesting that as the rule for either government or politicians? If so you need to find a way to make that case. So far you've mostly managed a very badly handled Venn Diagram.Is it a good idea to trust someone that you know has lied to you on multiple occassions?
Which hasn't been established except as you assumption and which isn't a) a politician or b) the government.Anyone who thinks that an agency whose main mission is to deal in deceit
Actually, I would expect an intelligence agency to be as transparent as they had to be to do their job and not much more.is going to be honest about all of it's own practices when talking about them to the general public is not thinking.
Way too general to be meaningful. For instance, an honest politician might very well aid an intelligence agency in misleading an enemy. Nothing in that would be untoward or unethical. It could even serve the good, as has been the case in most wars.Period. Anyone who thinks that politicians will not cooperate in that deciet is also not thinking.
No, but I can't say it would surprise me to discover that some elements of the agency had done that at some point in their history. But if you know about it then they didn't do it very well.Did you know the cia spied on US senators who were charged with overseeing it?
Needs context.That agency has a long history of lying to oversight committees and to the general public.
No, each assertion should be approached on its own merits. Almost everything PJ is peddling here is rationally unsustainable. I don't know what your particular ox is in that regard.And to think they lied about other stuff is somehow loony?
No, it would be "looney" to assume anything not established as a rational rule. Better to look at claims, arguments, and data in support on a case by case.It's loony to assume they tell the truth.
He said it to Reagan and the point was regarding misinformation aimed at confounding the Soviets, our chief enemy at that point in time. Not as nefarious when you understand the context.William Casey, head of the cia during the 1980s said the following" “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
Not something I've written. It depends on the evidence and claims. .And to disbelieve the cia is a conspiracy theory?
To say something you haven't established to attempt a point isn't credible. To say several things that haven't been argued to do it aren't either, supra.To disbelieve the mainstream media who cooperate with the cia is a conspiracy theory?
Not a leftist. And the only thing I like about Wiki is found in links supporting claims. It's not a source I largely use for much more than finding other, more authoritative links.As to MK Ultra, here is a link to Wikipedia. You leftists love it so this ought to be at least a good intro.
MEGAN FOX ADMITS TO BEING AN ILLUMINATI TRANNY
This one is interesting because about halfway through he starts showing openly tranny men to women trans formation. You get to see what a man looks like as a woman.

Despite his facade of certainty, Webb must have known this better than anyone. In his book he took pains to distance himself from the crack claim. “I never believed, and never wrote, that there was a grand CIA conspiracy behind the crack plague,” he wrote. “. . . The CIA couldn’t even mine a harbor without getting its trench coat stuck in its fly.”
One possible theory of what brought down the three buildings all on the same several hours of 9/11.
You should research Thermite and/or Electro-hydrodynamic Gaseous Fuel device. They wouldn't use commercially available explosives as a demolition company would use.
There were military explosives available in the 90s that can change the molecular structure in a cloud created around a structure. The electrically charged cloud crushes steel to dust.
