And even worse when Hepatitis C joins the mix:

Studies show that women are more susceptible than men to the damaging effects of alcohol. More alcoholic women die from cirrhosis than do alcoholic men.

Something must be done! We need to organize a march to show those unresponsive politicians who methodically remove and corrupt women's issues who's boss!

Are you with me?

OK, I was wrong, apparently you actually did research it.

Seems a shame to tuck the only interesting link at the bottom of a thread that's probably going to get Reefed anyway, though...you'll never make a proper conspiracy theorist that way!

Just more evidence of my lack of credibility...I suppose if I had a higher post count, like 2pac, people would take me more seriously?

I'm surprised. After all this time, folks on here usually get tired of discussing one same old issue (:

I don't think this particular subject has the potential to generate much discussion.

Well, duuuuh. What else is new?

[Utanapishtim]

Hmm, I really intended my comment in the parody thread to be directed at the thread of which it is a parody, which has hit some 21 pages at this point, of the same old...

Maybe I was too subtle.

Hmm, yeah. I'm really not very good at subtle. Sorry.
