Is there a cure for cancer in other countries?
Prayer can be helpful. A cancer patient at my church was healed of a multi-site later stage cancer by prayer. God can help you live a better life if you want Him to. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could try out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
How come this supposed cure for AIDS, patent #5676977, has not been made public?
Yes, that is a real patent. And that patent has been publicly available to anyone with an Internet connection for at least 12 years. The fact that the patent issued reflects the fact that the examiner did not find any earlier references to a method of treating an AIDS patient with Ag4O4. So it might be novel (as of 1996). And now that the patent has lapsed, anyone can do this without having to pay that patent holder. It might have been rejected as lacking utility, but perhaps the examiner was being overly friendly to that applicant. It says treating, not improving or curing. You have to read word very carefully. Note that "cavity-fighting toothpaste" can be called that even if it does not reduce cavities. The term doesn't require that the toothpaste win any fights, just that it fights. Lemon juice can be used to treat AIDS. The patient will still be in the same condition afterwards, but there was a treatment.To that is the answer to the actual question. Now let's answer the underlying question: Can Ag4O4 cure AIDS? One answer is "no" and while that explains why we don't see it being used and people still dying of AIDS-related causes, that is a boring answer. The other answer is "yes". Now, think about it for a moment. What does that imply?- That someone or some group is blocking the development of this as a drug. (Believable)- that group also has some mechanism to keep all medical researchers from breaking ranks, developing the drug and curing AIDS. (Believable?)- that group has determined that the power/money/control that they could obtain through selling a blockbuster drug that works would be less than the power/money/control that would come from having people sick and dying. (That does not appear to be at all a reasonable approach to global domination, because there are so many easier and cheaper ways to maintain a dependent populace than coercing every medical researcher on the planet.)Lastly, I echo the suspicion of the commenter who observed that only after diseases arise and cause significant distress do cures appear. Always on that order, disease then cure. Not cure then disease. Very suspicious. Also, very not suspicious.
Is England a depressing country these days?
It depends on where the person lives. I grew up Grays (Essex) and despite not having living there for years I like going back as people are friendly. The worst place I have lived is Rochdale which is an accident waiting to happen. The ethnic minorities believe they are above the law and the police seem to let them get away with it. It was that bad there was a murder about four houses away from where I lived and it took the police a week to actually come out and interview neighbours. They treated us all as suspects even though we could prove that we couldn't have murdered this person. On the other side of the coin I live in County Durham and I can assure you I don't know any chavs nor have I known any for many years. My husband and I live on benefits not because we want to but because we can't find work nor are we fit enough to do certain types of work. We live from hand to mouth and most weeks we can't afford to get enough food in to last enough. Fortunately we are able to do some voluntary work so people either cook us meals or give us food so we can eat. We both suffer with arthritis in the back, my husband is diabetic, suffers with sleep apnea and has trapped nerves. We both suffer with depression, arthritis is so bad in my hands and fingers that I need help with opening jars, cans and bottle, have arthritis in my ankle, am partially deaf and have curvature of the spine. Even though I do qualify for DLA I have been battling for about 2 years to get it. If we got that we would get above the poverty line. However we love the town we live in because everybody is so nice so we feel better.
What does your country do to help its homeless people?
I currently reside in a homeless shelter in NYC, as I wait for processing for the US Army.Not a comprehensive list, but here are some of the resources that are offered to all inhabitants of the shelter:Public Assistance Cash ReliefFoodstampsMedical CareFoodBedRoofJob Search servicesHousing servicesRent assistanceUtilities assistanceThere's probably even more than that.There's no excuse for anybody who truly wants to succeed not to do so. It is hard, sure. It's very hard, very stressful. Typically, there is a breakdown or panic attack or something similar when a person has been in the shelter system for the first time for the first 3-5 days. After that, they'll be aggressive or solitary for a while, and at some point they make a choice whether they want to try and succeed or just escape. I came to NYC with $18. I've been here for 3 months, found two jobs that both ended up not working out, and had plenty of adventures. I can honestly say that I'm not worried about my future. I'm certain that I will eventually succeed because I know that I can't be deterred. It might take a while, or maybe I end up getting kicked back from the Army, but no matter what happens I know that I will interpret it as a temporary setback and not a fact. Failure is a condition derived from a lack of the continuous application of effort.
How exactly does a country overcome hyperinflation?
They need to start making stuff.Despite monetarist fairy tales about nasty governments unable to follow their grade-school mathematics, hyperinflation is about lack of supply of goods, not oversupply of currency.If you look over actual accounts of Hyperinflation, one word keeps coming up over and over: war. And when not war, other political instability that results in the collapse of national production. Fewer goods and same demand yields higher prices.Hyperinflation of the currency is an attempt by the government to address its own needs for goods, but the lack of goods is the problem. The government’s goal is usually to keep its doors open while it attempts to solve the underlying problem, even though it’s often the cause of the underlying problem in the first place.So there is no one cure for “hyperinflation”. You can play monetarist games to avoid the exponential increase in the currency-denominated price of things, but it doesn’t solve anything about the inflation caused by supply and demand. It doesn’t put food on anybody’s table.You have to solve the underlying problem, which is usually thorny. We have hyperinflation currently in Venezuela, which wasn’t caused by a war but was the result of decades of resource mismanagement, the depressingly common Oil curse. They built their economy around one resource, invested it badly, and were totally unprepared for a drop in oil prices. They have huge debts denominated in dollar terms, making it harder to get loans for any new development.Anybody telling you they’ve got a simple solution is selling something. Debt forgiveness is going to be necessary, but it won’t be done without a serious plan for reducing government corruption. And even without that, what other resources does Venezuela have to sell? Its neighbor Columbia has developed a diverse economy of mining, financial services, and manufacturing, driving an overall positive cycle of construction and consumption. Venezuela has none of that, and it would take an incredibly brave soul to make the investments that would lead in that direction.So the first step in fixing the problem is to recognize that “hyperinflation” is a symptom of a systemic problem. Step two, unfortunately, is a doozy.
What are the most recommended things to have in a First Aid Kit?
I'm not going to sit here and make you a list... John Elder did a fantastic job that's what you're looking for.... my purpose here is to talk about the things that are normally not included but can save someone's life. What part of the country do you live in? If is hot, like south GA in the summer water is a must even though it is heavy and bulky. If not in a hot area, a small amount is still a good idea. If in the cold a survival blanket. I also like to keep trauma dressing as well as 1 use ice packs and ace bandages…. think about what your routine is: for example I teach martial arts so part of my kit has stuff to take care of small cuts, sprained ankles and to splint possible broken bones. The same kit goes with me on the road when I work as a triathlon, marathon and 5k timer so it also has saline wash to clean up road rash as well as trauma dressing for bike/car collisions, and gauze and sports wrap to keep bandages in place (because adhesive bandages don’t stick well to sweaty or very bloody people). In my car kit, I keep more trauma stuff… blunt tip scissors to cut away clothes if necessary, trauma dressings, gauze rolls, tourniqet and rolled blankets (great to splint badly broken limbs with)…..I also have the basic kit you can buy at a store because I have an accident prone kid that rides with me often…..I guess what I’m trying to tell you is think of what you do regularly and pack a kit for minor and major thinks that could happen. And don’t forget when you use something replace it.
What country do you feel bad for?
EGYPTUsual problemsEgypt suffer from over population. The country can no longer feed the population. Food has to be imported to a country that for a couple of 1000 years has been exporting food. This leaves Egypt with the problem to pay for its import. Unfortunately Egypt has failed to create an industry that can earn enough money on export.The failure of the industry is caused by a mighty and corrupt state that prevents private companies to succeed.The educational system is also a failure. Corruption is present even in school. Incompetent teachers are supposed to learn children skills they do not posses themselves. If you do succeed to learn a lot in school you are anyway not likely to be able to compete with people with connections. If you do get a job salaries will be very low.People are desperate and have already made revolution twice without achieving any improvement.Unusual problemLife in Egypt is possible only because the Nile provide it with water. The rains contribution is negligible. No water no life.The water in the Nile is split between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt according to what the British colonial master once decided. Ethiopia refuse to acknowledge that they are obliged to honour a decision made by the British but still stick to the deal. This might change.Grand Ethiopian Renaissance DamEthiopia is building a dam to control the Nile. It will provide Ethiopia with hydroelectricity but also opportunities to use the Nile water for hydration. This would leave Egypt without water. Every drop of water that do not reach Egypt diminish the agricultural output.A worse case scenario is a complete famine in Egypt. Ethiopia has experienced such famines in the 20th century. In a crises situation: Will they priorities the need of Egypt? Needs that is already beyond what the Nile can deliver.This situation is so dangerous that there are people in Egypt who promotes a war with Ethiopia. How such a war would be conducted is difficult to understand. Ethiopia is far away, is mountainous and have a very competent army. Egypt does not.One possibility would be to send in fighter jets to bomb the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam but this could trigger Ethiopia to do the same kind of bombings of the Assuan dam. A destruction of the Assuan dam would make Egypt collapse.Bible prophecyProphecy over Egypt fromIsaiah 19:5–65 The waters of the river will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and dry.6 The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.
Do all transsexuals really have a congenital birth defect?
Let me explain some things simply, that should clear up what you seem to miss: Point 1: A person who "[has a] sex change to live out their fantasies even though they are not really gender identity disorder patients" is not transexual. Point 2: Gender is your identity (technically/medically, a part of your brain), sex is your body. When it comes to pronouns of the him/his/he or she/hers/her sort and generally regarding someone as male, female, etc, you go by gender. Point 3: Transexual means having the gender that is opposite to the sex you were born as (to put it simply for you. I can't seem to word it right while keeping it simple though, so hopefully others here will forgive that). Having a sex change does not make you transexual by necessity, but I doubt very many non transexual people would have a sex change due to not only the cost, but the fact it wouldn't be easy to reverse something like that. It's not something to take lightly. Point 4: Not wanting the surgery, for whatever reason a person might have, discovering later in life, etc, would not stop it from being a congenital birth defect. Point 5: This is minor, but from your words "You don´t need to prove that you have gender identity disorder. If you have money it is easy to find a surgeon who will make you a women." You seem to think it only applies to those whose born sex was/is male, which isn't true, as it goes both ways. Point 6: "They would even make you into a cat-women if you payed them enough money and wouldn´t give a rat´s asss about ethical concerns!" You can change a persons sex, you cannot possibly, however, change a persons species. So no, you couldn't. Edit: Re- Point 1: Which, and I still stand by my sources, isn't the proper definition. Re- Point 3: I never said it was impossible, just unlikely. Re- Point 4: That's (whether or not it's the case) what we're debating, it's too early to say that without the question immediately becoming redundant. Re- Point 5: Ah. Well, regardless, it applies to all transexual people. Re- Point 6: Plastic surgery doesn't change what makes you human, surgery ("plastic" or otherwise) can change your body and thus your sex, but not a persons species as what makes you human isn't how your body looks, and not entirely how it works either. I wasn't arguing with you on the ethics part, just that it's not a valid comparison.
What is the most hated or disliked country in the world?
I think Israel has the most vocal haters. Even neutral Muslim countries have to “hate” them to show “support” for their “Muslim brethren”.Diplomatically, it’s safe to “hate” Israel because, well, everyone “hates” them but under the table, their governments still carry on, and everyone knows Israel is cool with it, because they don’t give a fuck about anything, except for getting things done.On the other hand, I think Saudi Arabia has the most invisible haters. They have their actual rivals that openly hate them (Israel, Iran, Qatar). Their fellow Muslims secretly hate their racism and Arab Superiority Complex (Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc). Their fellow Arabs also hate their Superior Arab Complex (Syrians, Lebanese, North Africans, etc). Their nominal allies (USA, UK, Canada, etc) hate them for their backwardness, i.e. for stuff like this:Or implicitly sponsoring this:I know some Western diplomats who kiss their asses because their government tells them to, but off the record, they are totally embarrassed that their government has such a close tie with Saudi Arabia. One guy said, “I can’t wait for the day oil runs out and they’re back on their camels again.” Let’s not forget that the terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks were from Saudi Arabia, funded by a member of a Saudi Arabian billionaire clan. And I wouldn't be surprised half their citizens hate their own country, assuming half the country is female, and hate the institutionalized sexism. One man’s utopia is another (wo)man’s dystopia! And what should not be understated is that many Muslims worldwide are not pleased about the Salafi and Wahhabi influence on their religion, sponsored by Saudi Arabia.The runner up is probably North Korea, because everyone either hates them (including their “ally” China), or doesn’t know or care about them. If the DPRK spontaneously combusted tomorrow, literally no one would miss them.Countries like USA, China, and Russia get lots of hate because they are so big and influential on the world stage, but they also get lots of love too from their little pockets of fans all over the world. The Anglosphere nations are traditionally anti-China and anti-Russia, which is something we English-speakers need to be mindful of as we consume English-language content.
