You might enjoy sharing this with the world too:

Causation hypothesis is not supported. In the UK, cannabis consumption increased by a factor of 30-40 while incidence of psychotic disorders was either stable or declining. Over 600,000 cases were used in the study.

Furthermore, Portugal, Netherlands, USA and Canada all have virtually identical schizophrenia rates, despite having differing cannabis usage rates (10, 17, 22 and 28 percent respectively).

There really isn’t that much tidying up to do afterwards, especially if the baby is born in a pool.
Good luck for your birth!

Congratulations! We had two babies in a free-standing birthing center, so we were able to go home within a few hours of the birth. I would do a home birth, but I don’t want to deal with the subsequent laundry! I wish more people would consider non-hospital births.

Just like Jonathon, I am just truly interested for the opinion of those of you who do not believe in a creator. Does it not seem to take more faith to believe that everything in the universe just happened to work out just right to sustain life here without any help from some creator; it seems to me that the possibility of that is much worse than all of the parts of a watch being thrown into a drier and coming out as a whole, functioning watch, and I bet no one has been able to accomplish that feat. There are many more parts to our world that would have had to happen just right to sustain life, such as the relative location of the Earth to the Sun, than there are in a watch. If the Earth orbited around the Sun any faster it would be shot out away from the Sun and the resulting drop in temperature would destroy most, if not all, life on Earth. Likewise, if the Earth orbited the Sun any slower it would be pulled closer to the Sun. The resulting heat increase would once again kill most, if not all, life on Earth. If you are truly informed in the scientific aspects of Earth how can you say that it was randomly located here without admitting that you have more faith in the random, highly unlikely, odds of the Earth supporting life than individuals of any faith place in God?

How can you say that miracles do not happen? There are people around the world who have been shown to have cancer, on a regular basis, who suddenly without any treatment no longer have the cancerous cells in their bodies. Would that not be classified as a miracle?

Yeah… that is called the placebo effect.

Actually “homeopathy, aromatherapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, crystal healing, prayer or any of that nonsense” work on some people, not physically, but psychologically. Many studies have shown that when a doctor offers any treatment, people expect it will help, and that expectation itself can aid healing. What this means is that, people using alternate medicine sometimes can become better, because they think they become better, even when those treatments have no direct impact on the body. So, maybe they can work, if you know completely nothing about them.

Reblogged this on konfou's blog and commented: I have already started using sentences instead of obcure passwords. Also, as Greek I can easily make them even more difficult, by using words in "greeklish" (greek written in latin alphabet).
