I headed off in time to swing by the other party and everyone there was having a blast too even if they were all a lot more wasted by the time I got there.

I know it's not a good argument for not getting your child immunized and I didn't consider not getting it for my daughter but you hope that IF the MMR does cause autism in a minority of children, that the odds are in your favour and it won't be your child.
It's not the only time I took my daughter to Germany for medical care but that's another story.
Your friends will have had a normal baby until the time of the mmr but the vaccine wont have caused it.
Getting this second hand from the misses who works as a pediatric OT so lots of autism. She is constantly dealing with this particular myth. Lots of scientific studies on this and it is proven to not be connected - mainly genetic with occasional problems arsing from oxygen deprivation at birth.

Canada became the last G7 nation to report figures on Wednesday, confirming the UK’s position at the bottom of the list
The UK is now the worst-performing advanced economy in the world, with growth slumping to just 0.2 per cent in the first three months of the year.
It means Britain is bottom of the G7 group of advanced economies, while Canada has surged to the top, with an expansion of 0.9 per cent in the period.

Originally posted by Mellor View PostThat makes sense tbh. When is the MMR vac given to babies, around 9-12 months?
Autism can't be properly diagnosed until a child is 18-24 months.
So a child that is autistic would often not show signs until a few months after they've been given the vac.
I think it's acceptable to cut a burger in half if it's too big for your mouth, as long as you eat both halves with your hands.
Ive often cut a burger in half to swap for half of what ever my misses'is having. I get try more things, and still clean up the left overs. Win, win.

Booked in the blood test and paid for them.
Then got a message that results had come back and to book appointment to see doctor
Went back to see him to be told everything was fine, no issues, took my blood pressure again and charged me half visit fee.
If there was no issue whatsoever, why couldn't I have been told that over the phone when I rang to get the results?
Standard?
Shakedown?
Standard Shakedown?
No fee for getting results at all. But the results were only avail between 2-4 each day.

You can of course not take Brexit out of the equation - one of histories most monumentally stupid decisions taken by a nation. This does indeed make May an even bigger clown but does not change the fact that Corbyn will be rubbish.
Obv I would vote corbyn in the hopes that brexit will go away if I was in the UK.
To anyone who thinks that sexism is necessarily a bad thing - I say more sexist voters in the UK is the only way forward.

An excerpt of some things I posted two years ago:
Look at how they treat people on welfare in the UK and yet they are gonna vote in robot thatcher:
I'm 42, worked since I was 15. Was made redundant in July, I've had 300 pounds from Universal Credit since I was let go.
I've had no money whatsoever for 3 weeks now, I have visited a food bank, the should call them snack banks, no meat, or veg is given.
I got milk, a tiny box of cereal, some loose pasta in a bag, porridge and some tea cakes.
I'm fucking hungry all the time, having to walk 4 miles a day into town to go online to work search or face benefit sanctions.
I served in the military, I want to work, jobs aren't as easy to come by a people claim. Is this my future now?
I'm borderline depressed, cold as I can't heat my flat, I have a dog I'm struggling to feed, though he will never go hungry on my watch.
I don't like needing help but I do need it, the government are not doing enough to help and support people in my position.

Autism usually doesn't become apparent until they are around 2 years old.
So you can't see how people buy into the myth. Baby appears like any other baby, baby gets the MMR, then a few months later baby is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
It's not a connection between the vaccine and autism. It's just the normal timelines for both

This will be payed for by taxing the 1% more - fair enough but looking to change the margins for FS in London is a dangerous thing to mess with.
Disbanding the UK armed forces as is the plan but even halving it is creating many more unemployed people in the deprived areas so needing even higher grants and those now increased social welfare payments and housing allowances cost more and more.
Basically very naive policy's - lovely in a perfect world of unlimited resources but unworkable.
May is coming across as an incompetent blowhard indeed and very much is but if you compare either to the list of past pm's both are very low on the list. Corbyn is better because he is not doing the world stupidest thing in brexit but his plan is to do lots of pretty stupid things which is not as bad but is still really very bad for the UK.
It is very important that guys like Corbyn have a voice and are heard in political circles to provide balance but they should not be let in charge.

Last years finals were pretty crap I thought, game 7 aside the others were fairly drab one sided affairs with them seemingly taking turns game by game to conserve energy. Be good to see them both go hard from game 1.Profit before people.

Probably that they disagree for some reason, but I would have loved to have seen, in case.
When people are presented with something contrary to their worldview they don't change their mind immediately (in the majority of cases anyway). Ideas niggle and eat at them and then they change their views.
I think the way he talks works well because he has the very rare ability for a politician to actually seem like a normal person.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 01-06-17, 15:31.

Part of a the issue is the styles of both teams - they live and die from three and can both put huge runs together very quickly that kill games. The Warriors are probably the best team of all time, but through LeBron all things are possible, amen."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

There should be a new sort of bias created for modern day people making broad judgements of wide demographics based on their carefully selected twitter following. Happens all the time.
If you're well learned or informed you're usually going to seek out similar on social media, and it's easy to then think a unanimous agreement or outrage of those followers is representative of the entire population.Profit before people.

Just started on the more advanced pilot qualification. Requires 7 more written exams before the flight training. Fuck meteorology is a slog, give me quantum mechanics any day.

I'm gonna guess (hope) that it's a negotiating tactic and he'll join back if China agrees to reduce more.
The US is less of an issue, and most businesses are going to keep trying to reduce even without the accord. Not as big of a deal as people are making out imo.
