I know MP3 players and the like are designed to crap out in a few years (would-be engineer): planned obsolescence. Why would engineers build something that costs more when people are generally silly enough to buy a new one since theirs is not cool anymore? I hate pop culture and what's hip.

I think pop culture (i.e. action movies about teens, music about hoes, music videos with guys dancing, magazines about actors, botox, blowjobs, and Bradjelina) destroyed the IQ of America's youth.

UPDATE: Paris Hilton giving blowjobs I meant. I don't mind the blowjobs. I just don't give a shit when it is some one "famous."

Ingestion. Don't lesbians eat babies?

I believe that they will always make Chuck Taylor's, for the rest of my life. And that brings me joy.

I believe that I could eat just about any one of you if I was hungry enough.

That would be cannibalism. Lesbians were babies once too:

"Congratulations, it's a lesbian!"

It would have rocked if I had two mothers; especially if they both wore Chuck Taylors.

like if your car says to you "a door is a jar" in a kind of urgent voice, it is expected that you will then do something.

i don't understand things like that.

An old friend had a Chrysler LeBaron from the late 80s that said that.

And no, Crompsin, the voice isn't like Leslie Nielsen's. It's a pleasant, feminine computer voice...sort of like Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

That I will continue to care as much in many years, as I do now, for the people I treat as a medic.

Pretty much everyone has said that, that feeling goes away, and lots of people feel like they're going to want to help everyone for forever and ever.

It's my understanding that what I exhibit is typical "care about every single patient" new-medic enthusiasm and it's extremely rare, almost unheard of, for a person to actually keep that up over time. Like... 99.99999999% of all people become like everyone else, they get frustrated with those "bothersome" calls and it comes out in the way they behave and interact with the patient. And in those rare people that do, they generally are borderline basket-cases who are annoyingly perky all the time... and they burn out. I think I can honestly say that I care, but am not unrealistic, naive, misguided, or a basket-case idealist twit who thinks homeless people fart sunshine.

However, both medics that I've trained under have now said to me that they believe that I truly care, and will be one of those exceptions to the rule. My current medic told me this yesterday. The subject had never come up, and I'd never told him about the other medic saying something. We got done with a particularly "annoying" call and he just kind of said, "you know... I think you actually give a shit about people. I don't think it's because you're new." I asked him to elaborate, and he did, then I told him that my last medic had said the same thing.

He said, "see, I told you I'm always right". lol

(we'd been joking around earlier about how he likes to believe he's "always right".)

Good Luck......I think that most people who go into the EMS field must care, it sure as hell aint for the money & glory......The most difficult part for me was remaining objective, especially when treating seriously sick or injured women & children. An army base not only has all the common accidents that plague a field dominated by heavy machinery & dangerous weaponry but also a civilian population including retired military, dependent wives husbands & children, & civilian employees with all the accidents, injuries, and illnesses that go with it.......I wouldn't say I burned out, my enlistment was up & I decided EMS work wasn't going to be a permanent career choice for me. Had I moved on to civilian EMS, I'm sure I would have burned out.........

I believe that there are times where a thread has run its course and starts to be a mockery of itself when it wanders so far off topic that it belongs in another part of the board completely.

I believe that the end of the year is a time of stress, hard work and under-recognition.

I believe that Kevin Costner made two of the three greatest baseball movies ever (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Natural) and is still a horrible actor unworthy of ever receiving another dollar for his work.
