The science of opinion ...

Personally I don’t relish the idea of being put under anesthesia. In fact, after consultation with my doctor I had my first colonoscopy done without anesthesia. I did not (rpt not) do that again. For my second colonoscopy I was put under, but toward the end of the procedure I suddenly awoke 😳and looked up on the tv monitor and joked, Am I at the Multiplex watching a science fiction movie? Much laughter ensued. Well, maybe it was only me, I was a little groggy.

How does it feel to have to come here? Does it help to have someone to talk to? I think I felt better when I was locked up in the hospital. I’ve been using these threads as a journal, but also as a joke diary, you know, if I have any thoughts or frustrations. I think I told you, I’m pursuing a career in standup comedy.

geoffkait,

I understand you. At least the anesthesia part.

Did you ask for half of the money back from the anesthesiologist?

No, once he got past the hairpin turn at the duodenum it was smooth sailing.  

geoffkait,

Who knows, maybe your reputation preceeded you and they woke you up in the middle of the procedure on purpose.

Nope, someone did pretty much call me a communist. Communist, Nazi, it is a common refrain of the intellectually lazy and weak from those at the farther ends of each political spectrum and a term thrown around when they are unable to address arguments so they lazily attempt to dog-pile their followers and adherents.

It is exactly the same as those in audio who use terms such as subjectivist and objectivist as an attempted weapon, usually followed by some other weak and wrong statement. They do it to avoid addressing arguments and to dog-pile.
