Alternative for bradytheater.com&gt; If you're really concerned about mental health, would you support a mental health screening as a precusor to purchasing a firearm?

Because of the very grey area in regards to patient privacy and then what limits you can set. If someone is on a mild anti-depressant is it a disqualifier? What if his record shows he sees a psychologist, does that make it an instant revocation? If it depends on what the physiologist appointments are about (like something mundane like smoking addiction counseling) then you get deep into patient privacy issues. Sorry, just think the issues lie with mental health and not firearms.Which Vancouver Canucks should get an ‘A’ on their jerseys for 2021/22?
Over the past three-ish years, and since the conclusion of the 2017/18 season, the Vancouver Canucks have watched four full-time letter-wearers depart via retirement or free agency. Henrik and Daniel Sedin were first. Then Chris Tanev flew the coop last summer, and now in 2021, even Alex Edler has gone Hollywood. Only captain Bo Horvat...

Unformatted text preview: from myself, when a new semester almost begins, I need to buy some textbooks. However, I cannot go to MC book store because I am busy taking care of my brother, so I just go to amazon. All I need is a laptop and internet connection to be able to buy the textbooks. I just need to type the title and the author of the book, and just like a magic, the book is there. I can just buy the book without even need to go to book store and then make a line to pay that book. Therefore, buying of goods over the Internet is really convenience for some people, including me. However, there is still some competition among companies; amazons rival is eBay. So, in able to get more customers, each company needs to please the customers wants and needs first; customer is king....

I.e. admiration IS NOT A SYNONYM OF infatuation.
Hence, when I express admiration for certain people,... say, Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond, a certain soprano, a certain female mountain biker, etc., it does NOT mean I am infatuated with them, actively pursuing them, or even considered pursuing any sort of relationship with them.
I admire from afar. And I am content with that.
This is the way I personally look at it:
I admire the Ferrari 575M Maranello and Modena.
Does that mean that I am going to put them on my credit card?
Does that mean that I will purchase them outright even if I have the cash?
No.
Why?
I won't because I know ahead of time that I will not have the resources to support it at this point in time in my life. A US$6000 brake job every 8000 miles? A secure, covered garage to park it in? Bringing it in for detailing every month? Come on!
It's the same thing with females right now. I am not willing to spare or commit resources for a relationship right now. I am perfectly content being selfish in this regard. If I want to relocate out of state, or out of the country, or even the continent, there is only one person to consider, consult and negotiate with--me. If I want to stop what I am doing right now and spend a couple of years with the Hari Krishnas, I can just do it. If I want to renounce all my worldly possessions, turn celibate and become a Jesuit, I can just do it (actually considered it and have not ruled it out yet). If I want to take 2 months off during summer and cycle from the West Coast to the East Coast, the only considerations are if I am fit enough and if I have enough money. If I want to watch hentai all weekend... Lets not go there, eh?
There is no one else to consider or seek permission from. And I love it that way.
And so, I admire from afar. Nothing more.
I won't even accept it if it was handed to me as a gift, for all gifts incur obligations, said or unsaid.
I am also not interested in the drama and illogic that are staple in many relationships today. Fluctuating hormone levels must be a bitch, eh? (Oops! Pardon the pun! I said something politically incorrect. Politically incorrect but true). A diabetic must adhere to a regiment of medication to control her fluctuating blood sugar level. Why can't the same be said of certain individuals who turn into a hurricane or a typhoon once every month? Why must the guy "put up with it" and "accept it"?
That, and the utter crap that's force-fed to couples these days:
From a jewelry company:
MALE VOICE TRYING TO SOUND ALL AUTHORITATIVE: Gentlemen, do you know what's the most important single purchase in your life? It's not your car. It's not even your house. It's your engagement ring. A properly chosen engagement ring lasts forever. blah blah blah.
OK, some points:
Firstly, 48% of marriages end in divorce. Now, while it may be claimed that your engagement / wedding ring will last forever, your marriage won't: you part at death, and for many, much sooner.
Secondly, get your hands on a copy of a National Geographic magazine focusing on the diamond trade. You will be surprised just how common that rock on your finger is. The perceived scarcity is the result of a 100-year advertisement campaign to brainwash consumers into thinking that diamonds are a symbol of love and scarcity.
Thirdly, try and get your diamond appraised. Seriously. Go ahead. What do you have to lose? Ethically, an appraiser may not offer to buy the object he is appraising. It is a conflict of interest. So, go ahead. Check it out just how much your diamond is truly worth. Now think about the profit De Beers is making off your schmuck of a husband.
Check out the following excerpt (that summarizes in part, a March 2002 National Geographic article on the diamond trade):. (Source)
These are but some of the reasons I refuse to play this game. The most important purchases in your life are the money you spend on your education and your medical insurance.
If you want to taunt, at least observe some degree of accuracy in your word choice and grasp of simple concepts.
