allopathic vs homeopathic?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Certainly! In nature, when it's not breeding season, it's the males that tend to scavenge since they are migratory from one pride to another; it does not work like it does in The Lion King, unfortunately.

In desperate times, a lot of true carnivores will scavenge.

And I thought I was the only one that watches discovery channel and the likes.

Actually even in abundant times the lion will scavenge (true for the big carnivores in general). What's easier to get as a lion 1) a gazelle that is alive or 2) gazelle that is being eaten by a couple of hyenas? I think you know the answer to this one...
 
:shrug: Maybe you've just got a thing against blood. I mean, I've reached the point over the years that I just don't even care if I get blood from patients on me- give it a good scrubbing and you're good to go. In that context girlfriend blood is like, whatever. Some people have a natural and severe aversion to blood though.

I do enjoy Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel entirely too much. Also the Food Channel too. ^^;

Although a lion may drive off hyenas for a carcass, in the breeding season, the group hunting makes them less reliant on scavenging than a lone male wandering to keep himself alive for a couple of months.

I saw this heartbreaking program about cross-species animal bonding where a lioness was so traumatized by losing her cub that she found a baby gazelle and acted like its mother. She then relieved the trauma when a male lion spotted it and broke its neck and killed it instantly in front of the lioness. 🙁

You're ok with getting patient's blood on your member?
 
I've been disappointed in the direction major education networks have been going in the past few years. That's why my TV basically consists of Netflix. If they're showing only what people want to watch our populace must be getting stupider. I heard on NPR that "Shark Week" specifically has become dreadfully unscientific and sensationalized.
 
Sharknado was so astoundingly stupid that I'm surprised it was made in the first place and that people actually watched it!
 
Well everyone; it was a pleasure. I've got a test later this morning. It was great talking to you all! Good night. 🙂
 
I think it's said more in jest, when it comes to those comments you said above. I know that most dads, in reality, would be furious if their 12 year old son was caught in that position.

I don't think it is in many cases.

There are many men out there, who either aren't fathers, or have this view that this is a good way to "school" their boys. These are the same men who take their sons to a brothel when they're 16 for their birthday. I grew up with families that did that.

I agree that most dads would be furious if their 12 year old got someone pregnant, but I'm not sure that they all would agree that this was child abuse or rape.

What about if the teacher kept pursuing their son?
 
Girlfriend blood is different than stranger blood in the same way that girlfriend saliva is different than stranger saliva.

so true, just like hot female saliva is way different from ugly/hot male saliva.

I think I actually remember the story with the gazelle. The narrator said that the same lioness actually kept taking in baby gazelle and nurturing them. It maybe a compulsion due to the loss of her cub or something else (not sure). I felt really bad for the mother.

What I am about to say may give you a negative view on the lion (I kinda feel bad for it too). Even during breeding season, they will still go for the easiest meal possible. There was one documentary showing, during breeding season, lionesses waiting by the wilderbeasts when they give birth. As soon as the youngster is born, they immediately snatch it up and eat them. When I saw that it just blew my mind. It is not scavenging, but you might as well call it that because of how easy it was to get the offspring.

True that it is more efficient to hunt. However, if it is between hunt and scavenge. They will scavenge.

But I get what DV is saying. Just cause you don't want blood all over your wang, even if it is your SOs, does not mean you have a total aversion to blood

The thing is, I view it as more of an inconvenience post-sex than a barrier in and of itself. It's not the blood so much as the ensuing shower when I'd rather be cuddling and passing out that makes me wish there were another way.
 
Depending on who you are, yeah. I don't know what flavor of saliva trolls prefer though.

hmmm...the age old accusation, when you have nothing else to say to put down a person, call them a troll. I remember one SDN member recently mentioned in a thread that they would much rather have trolls in a thread than "troll hunters". Maybe someone can remind me who wrote that in SDN. I believe he referred to "troll hunters" as insecure people of low self esteem who boost their own self esteem by putting down others. Schadenfreude, much?

Anyway, you can insult and belittle me all you want by calling me a troll. I will not insult you. If I'm a troll, I suggest you don't "feed the troll".

People have kept a close eye on you because you might very well not be a troll, but if not, you're a very different sort of person. Not that there's anything wrong with that (look at Ark) but you definitely have some characteristics that would be defined as unusual.

which "people" have kept a close eye on me? How have they been keeping a "close eye" on me? They were reading my thread posts?

Could you elaborate how I'm a very different sort of person? Is it because I want a big family and want my wife to stay at home?

"people" being mods- they've made sure you aren't other suspected trolls and checked your IP.

You're a different sort of person because you don't understand a lot of basic facts about human sexuality, which is, quite frankly, unbelievable to many of us in the 21st century.

well I'm glad I passed the IP test though I do find it a tad intrusive of my privacy.

What basic facts do you refer to?
 
Most of them. I guess I'm going to just let this die and let the thread get back on track (if there ever was such a thing).

I disagree that I'm ignorant of many "facts" on human sexuality but yes, let's try to get this thread on track.

The original track of this "thread" was comparing allopathic medicine to homeopathy and classifying osteopaths as homeopaths. So, no, this is way better.

I mean you seemed pretty confused by the whole concept of period sex...
 
When I woke up this morning and saw that this thread had ballooned to six pages, I should have known that the reasons included a combination of (a) @touchpause13 talking about sex and (b) @DermViser arguing

The regulars here are reliable, aren't they?

I just un-ignored Derm again. I swore I wouldn't, but I end up missing too much of some threads where he is carrying the argument, erm discussion, forward. Besides, I do actually like to hear what he has to say most of the time. It is just too irresistible to argue with him sometimes.

EDIT: And I just want to personally thank everyone who took this necrothread off the rails and has kept it off. Any discussion of homeopathic woo as related to allopathic/osteopathic medicine raises my blood pressure to aneurysm levels.

There always has to be a catalyst though, like an Ark, EMDO, PL198 on a bad day, or Skip Jr.

Again with the hating. As Taylor Swift said in her recent song:

"the haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate and
the players gonna play play play play play so
shake it off, shake it off, ta da da da"

I guess y'all are the haters and I'm the playa. 🙂

I ain't hating. I'm just saying, that's always how it plays out. You have catalyst that throws out a comment, then DV and TP go at it over their views on said comment. Without a catalyst, these things rarely occur.
 
Funny thing is, the main argument between TP and DV was about the "period sex" which I never mentioned in this thread. TP was the one who brought it up in this thread. Yes I had given my views about period sex in a earlier thread but even in that thread, TP was the one who brought up "period sex" in the first place. TP might be a pretty good catalyst too lol.

If you have to quote Taylor Swift to prove you've got swagger, you may be trying to prove the wrong thing.

And another Mitchell & Webb video that I enjoy.

Taylor Swift is a very rich , very famous young woman. Most women hate her because they wish they could be Taylor Swift.

I don't hate her; but you quoted her like you would a rapper to prove you were "against all the haters", which isn't exactly the case.

well I guess we have to disagree on that because I do feel that way. Also, I forgot to mention that Taylor Swift is extraordinarily beautiful, another reason most women don't like her.

Again, I'm not even bashing her. She is a country/pop star and you're trying to throw a line bummed off a rap song like a motto and it doesn't work with the tone of her work.

I have no issue saying she's pretty. She's doing well for herself too; which is nice. But she is not the rapper sort commonly associated with "Haters gonna hate" sort of language. That was my point.

well she did clearly say it in her song. Read the lyrics for shake it off by taylor swift

I'm not saying that she didn't say it, either; I'm saying that most people would probably find a rap song to cite the phrase rather than Taylor Swift.

I would argue though that artists like Taylor Swift are evolving, just like artists like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber have evolved. It's unfair to state that only rappers have enough credibility to talk about "haters". At any rate, let's agree to disagree.

I just stir the pot. I rarely just post stuff that's inflammatory out of nowhere.
