It won't name the treatment center. It simply says medical bills and shows you are in debt.

I can understand if you are working for the government dealing with classified information because you could be bribed. I am talking about run-of-mill jobs. You never tell a potential employer you have been diagnosed with cancer EVER. Even if you get to No-Evidence-Of-Diseasse, you are still...

I guess our senses are deceiving us regarding the fact the earth is an oblate spheroid. It took us thousands of years to realize that and it was human intuition that held us back. Here is an example of real logic. If you have three integers A, B, and C. If A = B and B = C, then we can...

Here is a question I guarantee you will not answer. Even if you accept Aristotle's bullshit premises, were his conclusions 100% pure logic? The answer is NO and pure first order logic and empiricism are our only ways of knowing anything on any topic at all even tentatively regarding actionable...
