Why so much sickness? A simple answer.

[initforme]

So you have no duty the Human race? We are created to procreate, that is job #1. If it wasn't then why are we driven by hormones, why do we have the plumbing for it? Anyone choosing not to to have children should pay more taxes, IMO.

Men have the duty to provide and protect for women and their families, so much so, that our government mandates them to have a lifelong legal commitment to engage in battle if need be. Women have no such duty, shouldn't they at least pledge to have children if they can?

We should never penalize nor criticize a person or young married couple because they dont want to have kids. Thats just wrong in every facet. If they dont want to procreate thats THEIR business, not yours. Some people want other things and what difference does it make? None.

How is being 'stuck at home' worse than being stuck in a work cubicle for 8 hours a day?

Thats for them to decide not you. They are free to work if they need to or want to. Good on them.

The same reason anyone prefers it, men or women.

I asked YOU a question, would you rather be at home or be stuck in a cubicle? It's a simple question.

Yeah women can work if they need to however, you also said if they want to. Men have no such choice they HAVE to work because they are protectors and providers of women and their family. Any man who cannot provide and protect is severely repressed. Not so for women who require shelter and protection. That's why smart women choose good men who are stable and can provide.

Overcrowding is already affecting our quality of life. More people will just make it worse. Who wants to live shoulder to shoulder and eat nothing but soyburgers.

You need to get out more.
Especially outside of cities.
Overcrowding is an urban condition. Get suburban or better yet rural and that "overcrowding" ceases to exist.
Reality doesn't match your perceptions it seems.

BTW, I think you mean soylent green ...

 

[Stryder50]

But a significant factor in life expectancy.

Lightyears away from the factor of poor care of one's life, poor health care choices.

 

[Stryder50]

Sick people go to the doctor and ask for help not the other way around.

They prefer cures, often only get help, if lucky.
In the USA, most of the medical profession is focused on treating symptoms, but shy on methods of prevention.

You do realize that prevention is the responsibility of the patient, right?

Eating right and exercising are largely matters of common sense and effort.

Most people gather into cities, or close to cities. It's in our nature.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Really? Otherwise, you'd live forever?

Dumb argument. Just because we can't live forever, it doesn't mean we can't live well when alive.

Gtfo.

Comes with a price. Several actually.
Can't grow much food on concrete.

I've mentioned that and 'variations of', several times here.
However not everyone is well versed on effective prevention, so health experts/medical profession has a key role to fill here.

As I've often said;
Health Care is the person taking Care of their Health (nutrition, exercise, rest, healthy lifestyle, etc.)
Medical Care is what we seek when our own Care of Health isn't enough, or in event of illness or injury.
Medical Insurance is what many want to help pay the costs of Medical Care.

We grow exponentially more food now than any other point in human history

Towns and cities played the key role in development of civilization

The tribes in North America that never developed towns to speak of were still basically in the Stone Age when Europeans arrived

But that food isn't grown in cities. And comes with a heavy dependence on use of petroleum.

I've known the role of towns and cities regards civilization quite well. Have played the game scores of times. Not to mention an extensive student of history here.
Lack of urban centers has limited development in most places around the planet.

Point of my earlier post and those following was if one gets out of the city and travels the road away for a couple hundred miles you will see that it's wide open country and a long ways to go before humans ever cover the planet shoulder to shoulder (actually near impossible to ever happen).

Fine, no one is saying that women can't work but IMO, their main duty is to find a good man, don't give away sex, get married, have children and raise a family and do it before your eggs get geriatric. After the kids are up and out, go pursue a career if you must.

My point is that women should be at home, taking care of the homefront and the kids. That, IMO, is the most important job a human can have. Feminism sold women a false scenario while convincing them that men are suppressing them. That scenario never was and the corporate ladder is nothing but misery. I could go on but, my view isn't popular I know.

Theres that "duty" thing again. What you want is not any kind of duty. Its a possibility not something people should be doing. Do that if one wants that.

Crop fields support shoulder to shoulder living in large cities. It is noteworthy that retirees that might have moved to the quiet rural areas are bound to the big cities because of their need for medical services.

America's health, healthcare, and health insurance are a mess. Whyzat I wonder? Could it be just another expression of our nature as it is in other aspects of life?

Even righteous Paul understood the frailty of his nature, addressing what is called "the serpent within".

The whole medical community is anti-science. That's why sickness and disease persist.

When I was in kindergarten we were led to the auditorium where we were shown a giant toothbrush brushing a giant set of teeth on stage, this to show us how to prevent cavities. The girl's gym teacher was a health freak who flossed her teeth openly for all to see. We all thought she was weird. No one flossed their teeth back then, only weirdos. When it became known that flossing was actually necessary for good dental health the school was silent. Whyzat I wonder?

I had Lyme disease once. After two rounds of antibiotics I still had symptoms. My doctor sent me to a psychiatrist who tried to talk me out of my symptoms.

I recently developed a hearing problem in my left ear. I could feel the fluid moving in my middle ear. However, my doctor and the "physician's assistant" that I was referred to insisted that there was no fluid in my middle ear and said that I should get a hearing aid as I had tinnitus. An MRI later revealed that indeed, I have fluid in my middle ear. I have yet to be granted an appointment with a real ENT doctor. Whyzat I wonder?
