| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27352798 01/09/2013 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who tells them the whole truth anyway? Quoting: Anti Vortex I don't tell them every surgery I had at age 2 (can't remember anyway) or detail every time I ended up in the ER needing a few stitches. I don't even admit to being a smoker. Fuck him, lie. Best answer, lie. If it doesn't directly relate to the reason you are seeking medical attention, LIE your ass off to them. Just one more straw Desert Fox. My textbook response is "my child lives in a VERY safe home", though I do understand that answer does not directly address the question, and they may likely continue the hounding. Requiring me to lie means I must violate my religion - though we know "they" no longer regard any of that with validity. Only under one condition has God accepted, condoned, or even encouraged such action: "...but by great deception, thou shalt do war." Where does that leave Christians? You think this isn't a war? Seriously? We are SO at war already. |

| RAG User ID: 4342196 01/09/2013 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And the doctors asking this question surprises you? Where have you been? This very topic was talked about back when the death bill was being passed. There was also talk that the wording of the illegal bill would leave an insured(health) gun owner responsible for any medical cost from accidents that may occur causing injury. No, I cant confirm this, but just wait, it will come up. And you all have to know that people with certain medical conditions or prescriptions could easily be denied their rights. Oh, and higher insurance rates for gun owners as well. Wonder how long before a manditory and honest answer (they will be checking) will be required by law? As for me and my house, We will stand with the Lord. God Bless Israel, God Bless America. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27352798 01/09/2013 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of those soft tactics used to get information from an unwitting target. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1044117 I think doctors are going to have a greater role in the gun "reduction" program, if that's what it is. What if they decided that people who took certain medications could no longer own guns? I've a lot more on that idea, but that's for later. Bottom line, they could target/hype the drugs possible side effects as the reason why a person on those meds can't be trusted to own a gun. They could do it with any kind of drug, not just for mental illness. Just a thought. As Nazi Germany, everyone was turned into snitches. Is it happening to us? Is it? History repeats....the human nature that allowed some percentage of the population at that time to glory in their snitching, is still present amongst us. It is something that will never change. I wonder if there is a collection of stories from that Nazi period describing some of the resistance techniques. (I'm old but not that old lol.) I would like to get some tips while we still can. Things used to be a lot more low tech and people were more "connected" with one another in those days, so it was more of a people game. With us this time it's going to be more technology driven, I think. It wouldn't hurt to think this through and make a plan or two. Maybe somebody will start a thread on the New Resistance People's Army ![]() Anyway, that's a fascinating thought that this is mirroring the rise of Hitler. I apprecate your point of view very much, thank you. |

I, like probably most everybody else doesn't like medical staff even asking the question. (But I don't have guns so the answer would be no anyways) But, since the focus of all this bullshit should be focused on crazy people not guns, then if asking this question somehow stops a crazy person from going postal then it literally could save the lives of both the crazy man and his potential victims. I'd rather these these type things being done than more gun laws. The issue at hand in the country right now should be keeping crazy people from getting guns, not more willy-nilly gun laws that don't do squat. |
