I do, however, foresee a raise in the terror alert from lemon to orange creamsicle; possibly even strawberry.

Holy shit..it's not just the Huffington Post. Obama truly does believe that he killed Bin Laden all by himself ..Friggin' asswipe. I'll bet my left nut...my favorite one for some reason, that this is what happened. For generations friggin' Pakistan supports the Taliban causes, causing the death of thousands of the worlds young men...they get a big flood, come to the US, as well as others of course..the US says, "You know, we've known for a long time that you have shithead in Pakistan, you tell us where, and allow us to come and get him and you'll not only get your money, but we'll claim that it was partially your idea and the world will forget that you're evil pricks! Pakistan said, "Well...alright then!!" I'll bet you that Obama knew nothing of the particulars until after it was over, yet he's happy to take all of the credit. I hate that. Babies train their guts out, risk their lives, and old men that have never dropped a bead of military sweat take the credit. Liars, and cheaters and bullshit artists all taking the credit for what was almost certainly accomplished by a bunch of children fighting the wars of their fathers... Thanks for the American respect Squint, though I'll tell you what... I was shocked by the number of Canadian Fallen Comrade ceremonies I went to when in Afghanistan..AK was always there too, going to many, many more before and after me....Who knew the 'Welcome to my nayboo' ood!" Canadians were also friggin' bad ass warriors?? I had no idea there were even Canadian soldiers IN Afghanistan, much less the crucial role that they play. Love to our Armed Forces no matter where in the world..and especially today to the Special Forces. It's a crazy world... Dwayne

Interesting thread...I just took the opportunity and stuck my nose in the books. In Germany it's as following: Three questions, three simple answers: No. No. No. As clearly given by national law, for a german medical professional the patient's will is (mostly) all what counts and I may not tell something to others the patient doesn't want me to. If I would report against patient's will, I would be liable to prosecution and it would be even questionable if the information given could be used in a court. In court, I even would have the right & duty to refuse to give evidence. Exceptions: I may, if the patient allows me to do. I may and depending on the situation I even have to, if it's in his/her "obvious" interest, if usual (i.e. letting know the relatives which hospital we transport to) or if the patient can't clearly declare his will (due to unconciousness, minor age, dementia, alcohol intoxication or such). I'd have to be very careful here! I may, if it's in my interest (i.e. beeing target of a lawsuit involving the case). I have to report a "major crime" (well defined by law, such as murder or rape), but only if it's still ongoing or I have reports that it is planned for the future and my report could still prevent the crime from happening. Physicians have to report distinct infectious deseases (specified by law). This doesn't apply to prehospital care, since this usually involves laboratory diagnosis. This answers your scenarios as following: The girl seems aware of her situation (at least she contacted the camp nurse and/or called EMS) so it's no need to assume I have to protect her from herself. If there is a crime, it's already done. I must not give information to anyone, law enforcement or even the parents, if the patient doesn't allow me. (By the way, the minimum age of consent is 14 over here.) No. The drug use was done, there is no immediate danger for others. I even would be liable, if I report this to law enforcement. A regular occuring case (to me twice last week) is a police officer asking, if the victim is drunk. Most police officers understand it, when I say "go, smell yourself". But last week, one got real angry at me as I said, that I'm not allowed to tell him (it was clearly against patient's obvious will). I then just pointed to his alcotest equipment - I can't measure alcohol as good as he can, so he has to check it anyway. No need to ask me...(result: blood alcohol level of 2.4 g/kg, despite that the patient was alert, fully oriented/responsive and on his feet without any problem).

To the original poster: It seems as though you’re trying to foist your personal views on everyone in this thread. While you personally do not feel that pornography is suitable for viewing in the public library, apparently those who set the rules in said library do not agree. While I do agree that pornography should not be accessible on computers owned by a governmental agency, I don’t feel that we should be limiting computer access by the general public (such as at the public library). Just because an individual CAN access ‘adult images’ on the computers at the public library, most will not access them there, simply because of their personal views. Now addressing your link to the story about the fire chief: The only opinion I can offer has already been offered; you’re comparing apples to oranges. What he was doing is considered harassment, pure and simple. I offer this fact based on the legal definition of harassment which is stated above by Lone Star. Now, I call into play a little personal experience. My father was a Judge, who had a case regarding what one party felt was pornography because a man was taking pictures of a woman sunbathing in her own back yard. The woman, who was the subject of the pictures, attempted to sue the man for civil damages. The suit was dismissed due to the photographer’s attorney discovering that no legal definition had hereto been set forth, and there was no case law covering such a suit. Now, to let you know about these photos… The woman was topless, laying face down on a chaise lounge. The only thing visible was her bare back and her covered behind. While the Court of Public Opinion may have a different view that what the U.S. Supreme Court has, since it’s an unsanctioned court; as Lone Star said, it’s opinions are irrelevant and calling attention to them is a moot point.

Good grief, we can only hope its true!

To You All, Including All Our Brave Service Men And Women That Have Perished Since That Dreadful Day And To All You Brave Souls Still Fighting The Good Fight. We Got The Bastard!! Rest In Peace Brothers And Sisters

If all this hype is even true.. which I doubt it is, it means pretty much nothing. Great, closure on the bastard that orchestrated 9/11. But I am sorry.. it doesn't mean anything else. Terrorism is still a huge threat. Someone else will take his place and most likely make a name for himself very promptly by doing something harsh. Yes, I am glad one less terrorist is dead (possibly). I am, however, afraid of whom is going to take his place and what they will do in retaliation or what crazy act they will commit to show their dominance. Be safe out there troops.. be safe. edit: don't get me wrong.. I appreciate everything our troops are doing and this by no means is me trying to put them down for their efforts. also, I want proof.. not "your word" k thanks

This one is for you: Marc Sullins, Keith Fairben, Mario Santoro, Yamel Merino, and all who lost their lives that day... http://mobile.nytimes.com/article;jsessionid=5D7F95CAAD0FA2DEF5BF4EC696754939.w5?a=783466&f=19

Well these leader's may have some excellent words to add .

I must say that It's genuinely an honor that I was able to participate in the GWOT that ultimately helped us bring the pain right to the cowards doorstep. To be frank, this development is quite surreal to me and most of my comrades. I honestly did not expect that we would ever have the glorious luxury of capping Bin Laden, that he would ultimately succumb to his long list of chronic ailments. I find this to be a bittersweet moment, as I can't help but reminisce of those who did not return on their own two feet, but via that long flight aboard a transport plane cargohold to Virginia. While some of you may vary upon your political opinions, we can all stand unified in rejoicing over the death of this murderous villain. Quit being unpatriotic by arguing over stupid political drama, instead we should be celebrating this massive turning point in the history of modern times. Let us not forget the countless innocent victims of this evil and cowardly monster, nor my fallen brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of his demise. From the words of myself and fellow servicemembers, I salute the special operations team that ended the reign of terror spread by Osama with the tug of a trigger. And to the fallen: RIP, you are gone, but shall never be forgotten.

Hope the bastard is paying for it in the flames of hell.
