Not only that, but there's the people who would rather buy into unfound claims against vaccination and don't want to be bothered to look at the clear, concrete evidence that vaccinations are the best way to protect themselves and their children from 14 very serious diseases. Also, it puts a toll on resource allocation as we're having to spend extra hundreds of millions on people who don't vaccinate when we should be putting that towards clinics, developing/improving more vaccines, etc.

It really, really makes me furious because it puts people like my uncle in a deadly situation because of 1) ignorance, 2) chosen ignorance, 3) bullshit pseudoscience posted around the internet, or 4) belief in the autism/vaccine link that was blatantly false.

Humanity has created this amazing thing called “herd immunity” because of vaccinations. It means that people who genuinely cannot be vaccinated - the old, the immune compromised, infants, people honestly allergic to vaccinations - can be safe from those diseases because the “herd,” the majority of humanity, has been immunized. By choosing not to immunize you not only put you or your children at risk, but herd immunity as a whole.

Only one question folks? How disappointing!

Anyway!

25 Biggest turn on: Oh man, picking only one is hard. I love intelligence, a sense of humor, goofiness. But I’d have to say that my #1 turn on is a kind heart.

26 Three spots that drive you insane: I am an absolute sucker for being rubbed/massaged during foreplay, especially my head, my butt, and my shoulders.

27 Worst possible time to get horny: EASY one for me; while TEACHING.

28 Do you like it when your sexual partner moans: Who doesn’t?!

Tennessee Representative: The Bible says not to feed the “unwilling to work,” so we should cut food stamps to kids

As the GOP keeps looking for somewhere to cut government spending that won’t affect their pockets at all, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is now in their sights for cuts that could potentially devastate families who need it most.

Almost 47 million Americans are now receiving benefits under SNAP, also known as ‘food stamps’, and many of those are children, elderly, disabled, or working poor. As expected in troubled economic times, enrollment in the program skyrocketed and with it the costs of the program, which more than doubled to $80 billion. What many people don’t know is that food stamps are funded under the Farm Bill, the same bill that funds Federal subsidies for farmers.

So as the House Agriculture Committee debated this week over how much to cut from SNAP, it was not surprising that Representative Juan Vargas, a California Democrat, would remind the committee to follow the example set forth by Jesus, who said that how we treat the least among us is how we treat him. Of course, not to be out-Bibled, Representative Stephen Fincher, a Tennessee Republican, came back with his own Bible verse, quoting the Old Testament when he said, “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

I believe your Jesus very much disagrees with you.

Luke 14:12-14 “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

Luke 3:11 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”

And the rest of the New Testament disagrees with you too.

Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

Oklahoma Senator: Tornado aid “totally different” from Sandy aid

Sen. James Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, argued that there is no comparison between Hurricane Sandy relief, which he voted against last fall, and aid for his state in the wake of Monday’s devastating tornado because the two are “totally different.”

Inhofe contended on Tuesday that the Hurricane Sandy relief bill was different because it was filled with pork. “They were getting things, for instance, that was supposed to be in New Jersey,” he said on MSNBC. “They had things in the Virgin Islands. They were fixing roads there, they were putting roofs on houses in Washington, D.C. Everybody was getting in and exploiting the tragedy that took place. That won’t happen in Oklahoma.”

In the past, Inhofe has also voted against additional funding for FEMA, though in 2008 he praised relief from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to Oklahoma counties affected by “severe weather.”

Inhofe’s senate colleague, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, also a Republican, said he would push for federal aid to Oklahoma to be offset by cuts elsewhere. Coburn also voted against the relief package for Hurricane Sandy.
