if she is mature it shouldn't even matter papi


back in the day people were getting married early as ****.

It's how are society is, which makes us people think old dating young is wrong.....

Or you can be a pervert :lol. People got married earlier then for a reason. It wasn't about romance all the time my dude. Also life expectancy was a lot shorter. Can't superimpose the societal views then and adjust it for now.
 
I have to go get my student visa pretty soon, I'm kind of scared :lol
I have no idea how other people's government workers act :lol
 
Wow I post about paying off my loan and then people take it to talking about gay porn. NT at it's finest hour.
 
cant be good for you- I know of one person that had it done, and she has all types of problems with it: stomach pains, gets sick easily, had to get it readjusted. I don't get it honestly, if people lack enough self control to watch their intake quantity, how will they control their intake quality when the lapband restricts the quantity?

Yeah hearing that kind of stuff is why I don't want to do it.

Rather take my chances with the ol fashioned way. Just have a problem staying committed to it.

Aight, it's time for a nice wall of text.

Today's evidence that I have too much time on my hands is about a piece of history they glossed over in 7th grade (and all the others), the Tuskegee Experiment. I do so enjoy the outtakes of American history. Hope you will too.

*fittedwearer's note: As I mentioned before, American history is fascinating. Not the bite-size sugarcoated propaganda that fills the textbooks of schoolchildren across the country, the real story.

You see, every government in history from Ceasar's Rome to Cold War Russia has had its' skeletons, but American history is especially interesting because...well, it's like finding out an old family secret that has been hushed up for generations. Our seemingly benevolent and altruistic government is capable of some pretty ****** up **** where the need serves its' interests, and we would do well to never forget that.



Seems legit.
You might be surprised at what has gone down in the land of the free and home of the brave (but probably not).  Time heals all wounds, but the mark they leave is indelible and educational. These marks are often all that remains of these sore subjects, these painful and embarrassing scars on the proud face of our country...these history lesions. Today's deleted scene from the American History DVD is the infamous Tuskegee Experiment...enjoy.

The year was 1932, and the U.S. Public Health service decided it didn't know enough about the way venereal disease, specifically syphilis, worked in humans. They formed a research group at their Washington headquarters to research the disease in more detail. After experimenting with various other animals, they found the results unsatisfying. The research stalled.

After a period of frustration, a brilliant man by the name of Taliaferro Clark had a breakthrough: since we're attempting to gather human data, why not experiment on humans?

Admittedly, he had some difficulty finding volunteers around the lab to be infected with an STD without even going through the fun part. Clark struggled with the duplicity of the task. On one hand, he and his team had to gather data about the diseases' effect on humans, but on the other, experimenting with diseases on actual people was an abhorrent and unconscionable concept.

Just when Clark started to think his dream of continuing research had died, he had another bombshell idea: Let's use Negroes! It's 1932, they're not real people, right?

With that, the government sanctioned experiment began. Working with the Tuskegee Institute, ironically a historically black place of education, the Public Health Service began to lure poor, uneducated sharecroppers in for "special free treatment" (which was code for "a laboratory burn job") for a then-common disease known as "bad blood", a condition now known to be lethal and completely made up.

In exchange for their participation in the experiment, they were given free medical care, free lunches, free syphilis and in what should have been a very telling gift in context, free burial insurance.

The study was intended to last 6 to 9 months, but after a while became "long-term no-treatment observational study", which is a technical term for "we're going to see if they die and how quickly". Predictably, many did. The ones that did survive were able to share the experiment with their wives and children. The really lucky ones just pissed acid for a month or two.

The experiment ended up lasting just a shade over the planned length, ending just 40 years later after a leak to the press (and not by dumb **** like common decency, the various changes in international law to stop similar actions by the defeated Nazis after World War II or the discovery of penicillin as a cure for syphillis in the 1940s).

Even at the time the experiment was exposed, Public Health Services head John R. Heller held that the program held merit, stating "The men's status did not warrant ethical debate. They were subjects, not patients; clinical material, not sick people." You have to respect a man who upholds his Hypocritic oath.

Since then, the government has issued a formal apology for the Tuskegee experiment,  but the incident has led to an distru****l relationship between the black community and the medical community that lasts somewhat to this day. (I don't even understand why everyone is so wary, it was just a deceptive, unauthorized and antiethical experiment that killed a few dozen guys and stuff.) In fact, some accuse the American government of similar activity, such as creating AIDS.

Of course, that's ridiculous. Expecting somebody to do something they've done before is nothing but idiocy. That's why Americans can feel secure that allowing untested prescription drugs with horrific side effects onto the market with minimal oversight, endorsing unstable methods of birth control that sometimes control your birthing permanently and doping an entire generation of kids up with zombie pills with no knowledge of the long-term effects are perfectly safe and beneficial activities...after all, our government would never do anything like this again, right? Right?
