As I understand it, and I am no EXpert on the Canadian system:
1- All who work pay into the system. 2- All who need reasonable health care of all kinds get it free. 3- The government owns all facilities and buildings that are nice. 4- All Dr's, Nurses, Dentists, techs, (all personell) are govt employees. All are reasonably paid but no millionaires. They are compitent and good at what they do. People with bad performance records are fired. They all work reasonable hours for good benefits and there are enough of them to go around. In a new town, no worries! 6- Supplies are purchased with bids. Drugs are cheap by the truckload. Along with everything else! 7- If you want a heart transplant at 80 yrs old you can go to the states to get it yourself. They won't waste government money on it for you! 8- LET'S GET REAL AMERICA, we pay more for less health care than any developed country in the world. 9- It's a crime.

I know there are exercises out there that will help one to grow taller and i'm wondering if someone can send me a link to a free site or post some to help me grow taller. Basically I want to know what exercises will help me to grow taller?

Thanks in advance.

I have a problem with my ears and it really bugs me. It is called "Tinnitus" and it is a ringing in your ear that never ever ends. If i am in my room with no noise trying to fall asleep I hear it and it really bugs. I have a noise machine that has like a waterfall, rain, crickets, etc. I would like to know if there is any kind of herb out there that will take away this ringing or at least lower it. It gets really annoying because it doesn't go away. So if anybody out there is going through the same thing as me or knows about something that I can do, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

What’s a drug you ask? In chemistry a drug is a compound. For example the compound of water is H20. When molecules come together they create a compound, for example water is H2O (2 Hydrogen molecules, 1 oxygen molecule) I know water isn’t a drug but it’s the same way drugs are made.

So my question is why do people say only use natural drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, even legal drugs that increase energy Ginseng, things like that are accepted more than unnatural drugs? You always hear people say "oh this stuff is great its 100% natural gives me great energy and its wonderful" When its Exactly the same thing?

For instance:
Methamphetmine is C10H15N
THC is C21H30O2
water is H2O
Ginseng is don’t know off the top of my head actually.

As you can see all they are is arrangements of molecules, it doesn’t matter where the **** they came from their all the same (in a way)Morphine is 100% natural and is considered the second most addicting drug on the planet next to heroin (near the same drug

I've noticed how chin implants have become a common procedure in plastic surgery today, but unlike the nose or ears, the chin has muscle in it. Rather than get an implant could one somehow build that muscle to make a slightly more prominent chin? I wouldnt think it could make a huge difference considering that it would be very difficult to add resistence to that area, but it seems like it could be gain mass like any other muscle

How do you stop contacts from drying out and getting headaches from them at the end of the day? Besides using eyedrops.

Hey!
are there other common causes of diarrhoea other then the 'gastro' virus..and generally is diarrhoea contagious?
my boyfriend has come down with a bit of it the last 48 hours.. and i REALLY dont want to get it (haha how selfish am i!).
he hasnt really had any other symptoms, maybe saw muscles, and a 'heavy head' he started off being really tired.
Keeping in mind he had a rather big weekend (lack of sleep and whatever else he got up to).. could he just be run down?
thanks

I know bad guys use it for making meth, but does this mean it's now illegal in California. I have not been able to get a straight answer from any store other than they don't carry it anymore. Can I buy it in other states and legally have it in California? How about with a perscription?
