  1. I'll back all of the above as well, thanks Jimbo!

    Jeff

     

    I would like to jump in here and say that Jeff (Madd Mortigan) may be one of the newer traders on this site, but his descriptions of the discs on his trade list were awesome as was his communication and integrity. I highly recommend him as a solid trading partner. :beerbang:

     

    (Thanks, Jeff!)

  2. This is easy.

     

    Twin Peaks - Some of the greatest characters in the history of television.

     

    Mystery Science Theater 3000 - My favorite show of all time. Bar none.

     

    Saint Elsewhere - A hospital drama with excellent story arcs and biting dialogue.

     

    Police Squad - How did this show not become a cult classic?

     

    and finally:

     

    The original Headbangers Ball - When MTV mattered.

  3. I don't know the details of this case, but my first question is: How old is the son?

     

    If he is under the age of 18, he is a minor and cannot make decisions about his own medical care. It devolves back to the parent or guardian. If the mother is refusing to get the child medical attention, then the state can (and SHOULD) step in. It's tantamount to child abuse.

     

    Sorry, but I have zero problems with the state stepping in. It's not the child's fault he was born into a cult of religious wingnuts.

     

    Now if the son is of the legal age of majority, then it's the son's decision and the state should butt out.

    I would have to respectfully disagree with Dan. The essence of the argument is that a parent should have the right to refuse medical attention for their child even if doing so is deemed "life threatening" by the government. Should a minor be forced to have an abortion if giving birth is deemed "life threatening" by the government, even if it is against the parents' wishes? Should an obese child be forced to go on a diet if the child's weight is deemed "life threatening" by the government, even if it is against the parents' wishes?

    You may argue for child abuse, but if nothing else in the family's history points to purposeful cruelty to the child, than there is no case. You may strongly disagree with the family's wishes, but the power of persuasion is the proper tool to use, not the hammer (and sickle) of government.

  4. I think it's a reasonable theory. But I wonder if MP3 players will eventually make the CD player obsolete, thus making the point mute.

     

    Vinyl still exists today, so you could safely bet that CDs will live on for years to come yet.

     

    You could be right, glam man. Maybe we should start stocking up on as many low run CDs as we can and store them away for retirement. ;)
