"...that they're not from some med school in the Philippines."

The furor over a slur uttered against Philippine medical schools on the premier episode of the fourth season of the American TV show "Desperate Housewives" has prompted a response from Malacañang Palace.

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the TV show belittled the abilities of Filipino doctors and sent a message that Philippine medical schools produced "substandard, inferior" medical practitioners.

The offending remark was made by one of the show's desperate housewives, Susan Mayer (played by American actress Teri Hatcher). In one scene Mayer asks for the credentials of the gynecologist who examined her and told her that she was approaching menopause.

Mayer said, "Can I check those diplomas 'coz I just want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines." The premiere episode, which has been posted on YouTube.com, drew criticisms from the Filipino community on the Internet.

I know all surgeons prices vary, but does anyone know the average price for a breast reduction? Does the rate vary based on the amount you need reduced? I am a 34DD and would like to go down to a small C or average B.

I'm wondering about marijuana drug tests. Almost every good job out there test for this harmless drug. I believe there are blood, hair, piss, and saliva test. I assume that the blood and hair can trace the farthest back? How long does it take on average to completely clear your system?

I'm considering getting a job in law enforcement or the military one day, do you think ill be clear if I quit now and get a job in a year or so?

I am 14 and just got my eagle on October 1st. It was a happy moment coming out of the board of review, I have to admit. I have been in scouting for a while and to get Eagle felt good. Does it really help you get into a college of choice? Will it help me get a job that I really want? Will adults,coaches and teachers look at me any differently if they know?

Seems the dems want us in Iraq as much as the republifascists and they just use different reasons.....any one understanding the psychology of the Good Cop/Bad Cop game should be suspicious. I do not like conspiracy theories but they do seem to work hand in glove alot as in the dems seldom undo republican policies all that much when power "shifts"

I'm just curious to know? Because if a racist white brother or sister called me a N*****, I would call them one right back:)
Has anyone ever turned the tables on you like that before?
That would be so neat what do you think?
How would you respond or react? :)

I'm pretty young so I'm really close with my nephew who's only 14. We talk a bunch and he's fine with telling me everything. He's been really stressed lately, so I asked him what's wrong. At first he wouldn't talk about it, but I got it out of him. He said he thinks his penis is not big enough, saying that he showed it to one of his best girl friends (at first he wouldn't tell me this, for good reason too because that was pretty surprising for a 14 year old) and he said she kind of scoffed at him when she saw it. He finally told me he's 4.25". I repeatedly tell him that size doesn't matter and that 4" is long enough at 14, but he disregards everything I say and just gets upset when I bring it up. How can I tell him that he's fine?

If I had found a time machine and could bring somebody back to life it would be General George Patton. If he had let me ask any sort of questions, I would choose to ask those that are listed.

1.When did you inlist?
2.What country did you hate being at the most?
3.What was your favorite weapon?
4.What was your least favorite vehicle?
5.How did you feel when you dad had passed away?
6.Why were you so cruel to everybody you had trained?
7.Why were you called Jr. When you were a III?
8.Why were you called Old Blood and Guts?
9.What did you think about war and it's surroundings?
10.What is it like to be a General?


General George Patton was born on November 11, 1885 and died on December 24, 1945. He was born in San Gabrial, California. General George Patton fought in World War I and II. George Patton was probably the most brilliant military strategist that ever served in any army of the world.
