Do doctors who only perform unneccesary procedures such as breast enlargements, botox and collagen injections and other "enhancements" take the Hippocratic Oath?

If so, how does the oath apply? Do such procedures truly contribute to the overall health and well-being of an individual?

To society? Short and long term?

OK, so I was talking with my cousin on the phone the other night and I heard her soon-to-be-husband saying something in the background behind her and then she said to me "oh, 'sam' (her soon to be hubby) wants you to know that his mother just LOVES you". I didn't know what to say since I've only met this woman 3 or 4 times in my life. I said "um haha, tell him I love his mom too(she really is a very sweet old lady)" and she did. Today she informs me that she is annoyed because his mom doesn't like her very much and she apparently "loves" me and she's kinda been taking it out on me since then. I don't know what to say. Did I say something wrong? Why is she acting like this? She declined my dinner invitation and has been very short with me. why did he say that?

Is it a racial slur to call a japanese person a jap? I didn't think much of it until I almost used the term refering to my japanese friend. someone asked me if she was korean and i was going to say "no, she's 100% jap" but i remember that white people used to call them that in concentration camps in WW2. so is the term "jap" equivilent to the n-word or w*tback?

I moved into a new neighborhood some time ago to discover that I was the only non-Indian living here. I have noticed that many cars are smashed - they appear to have many accidents. Office lady told me they almost ran over a toddler the other day as he was playing around (they had put a sign not to drive faster than 10 miles an hour but no one appeared to respect that). I see many little temples hanging out of their windows (yellow and red colored especially) and I could inhale some odor as if they burn stuff all the time. Some elderly spit frequently. I said "hi" few times and didn't get a single response. A lady looked at me in a strange way as I greeted her. I feel I am living in a ghost town. I am thinking of writing a novel about it :-)

Of course, it could be an isolated incident :-)

Do you get offended by a total strangers comments and remarks to your questions? Do you ever find yourself taking this game personal?

That are still living in environments similar to that of the setting of "Pirates of the Caribbean"? For example no electricity, or cars, people still carry swords and dress like they did in the 18th/early 19th century? If you have watched the films you'll know what i mean, i'm just curious as to if anyone still lives like this. Thanks.

no, seriously it seems like their are more better paying jobs with fewer hours like private contracters in iraq make $600 a day tax free. hell strippers and porn stars make more money than college educated people and all they have to do is show off their goods or suck something on camera . and yes not everyone can do that cause of psychological effects or just plain don't have good bodys.hell bounty hunters make alot of money too almost the same as mercenaries although mercenaries aren't allowed to go back to their native soil. but all in all college educations don't do squat but make you work your *** off and make you pay back most of the good money you earned for no reason

Ok, so I'm only 21 right now but I'm a little worried about this. It seems like most of the pedophiles are in or past their middle ages, like age 40-60. Most of them like young boys, and I know from history that many of the Roman citizens and politicians had their own slave boys which they performed sexual acts with.

This is all very disturbing to me, but I am just wondering, this is disgusting because it's basically homosexuality. Are these men all homosexual for wanting to do things with little boys, or is there something that changes in a man's mind when they reach a certain age that makes young boys sexually desirable? Some of these people seem to have no preference between young boys and young girls, but it seems like most prefer boys - why?

on Y!A, while this forum gives opportunity to answer questions and engage in meaningful dialogue with others, it also provides the opportunity to become totally anonymous. While there is nothing wrong eith that, I believe some answerers take this opporunity to launch the most brutal and vicious attacks on people they know nothing about. Perhaps they forget they are dealing with much more than an avatar and are interacting with human beings who have feelings, and can be hurt by unprovoked and venomous attacks. My dear friend on Y!A was attacked in a most vicious way for asking a legitimate question. I watched in amazement and dismay as about 90% of answerers took it upon themselves to call her names and offend her dignity without knowing the first thing about her. Yes, the question was legitimate and asked in a most polite way.
No, reporting such people is not an answer. I sense fear in such people. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate is a sure path into the dark side.

I'm not going to say names but some people do believe that when you go Hollywood you forget your background and you have to help Caucasians or people from other countries to keep being recognized NOTE: I dont agree with this this is just a survey to see how you feel?
