Yep...his own bio is wrong.. Here's his Ph D thesis...As Missing Transmission said:


http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/3287378


So if he lies about his degree, what else might he not be correct on?

From a guy who thought Pud was short for pudding.

It is here. We speak English, not American.. Incidentally, it isn't my real name.. Savage isn't a very pleasant individual. I think he has a lot of self loathing going on, or maybe he's just not a pleasant individual.

From his bio...
"Dr. Savage holds a master’s degree in medical botany and a second in medical anthropology. Additionally, he earned his PhD. from the University of California at Berkeley in epidemiology and nutrition sciences."

From Wiki:

Quote
He holds master's degrees from the University of Hawaii in medical botany and medical anthropology and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in nutritional ethnomedicine. As Michael Weiner, he has written books on herbal medicine and homeopathy; as Michael Savage, he has written four political books that have reached the New York Times Best Seller List.[4][5][6][7]


Well they can't both be right.

Unfortunate surname; not sure Savage was a better move.

     Don't give up on that dream. I think all of the primary cast is still with us.

     It just hit me that they are more living Dick Van Dyke Show original cast members living, than original Ramones.


It didn't improve his Cockney accent though.

To my knowledge, knucklehead is not a medical term.
Though, in your case, it may be.

I never said it was a medical term; but presumably you have a better idea than the medics who brought the doc back? Based on medical expertise you have.

"doesn't burn an effigy of the pope. It's an effigy (if your imagination runs riot on the word 'effigy') of Guido Fawkes who attempted to blow up the then king. The state doesn't fund the church, any church. "
In reply to my original comments, ignoring the question with the second answer (the question was does your country have a State Church. The answer is "yes". Not some rambling answer about funding. I never questioned the funding- until the follow-up with regard to the Royal Family.) You claim that effigies of the Pope are not burnt or haven't been but only of "Guido". And I show videos of "Pope" being burnt and even other people, like poor slut Jordan's, being burnt in effigy. So, again, either a lie or lacking knowledge of the history of the night.
ps: I just laugh about Katie Price and how she has been able to milk publicity for so long now. But, rest assured, we have plenty of mindless, celebrities for nothing, also. Too many.

To be honest I've lost fucking interest.

You haven't quoted the bits that you previously attributed to me. The bits about the Pope, Church etc.

As for Katie Price, she's a fucking publicity leech. But she's made her coin being so, there's worse career moves. I sort of met her once when I was doing freelance photography. Scrum around her at a race track (motorbikes) and wandered over to have a look...she was big ugly then and very small...still pig ugly, still small.

Again, you are denying that there is not a state church in your country? Specifically you claim the Church Of England is NOT the official state church?

I did? Where?

Quote
I'm not talking about funding but charter-wise and official status. That the Queen, I know you lot still have royalty to which to bow acquiescently, is not affiliated with the CoE? That is odd because they claim she is the "Supreme Governor" of the church. I guess she gets no public funds?



She'd better be affiliated, she's head of it. Or specifically the Monarch is the head of the C of E. Be it king or as we have now, Brenda. She says such nice things about you too.

I don't know what the exact sum is, but the Royal household gets about £35 million per year. Out of that all the salaries have to be paid to all the staff, all the various hovels have to be paid for too. Last count each Presidential candidate spent about a $Billion...Brenda brings in about ten times in tourism what we pay her, so it's not a bad deal is it? Personally, I'm ambivalent about the royal family thing, but that's me.

Quote
It is also interesting to claim that Guy Fawkes night has nothing do to with the burning effigies of the Pope or historical animosity towards the Roman Church.

I said that? Are you sure? Read it again.

Quote
Or that there hasn't been controversies about it over the years. Even as an only casual resident in England and Scotland recall bonfires and also controversies in the papers regarding the effigy and/or any anti-catholic sentiment in them. Even a simple internet search shows the history of the event.

You have remarkable, or maybe just case specific, lack of knowledge on your country's own traditions and institutions.

I do? Oh fair enough. Why are you claiming that you'd like to see the first born of non Americans put to death? Or you'd prefer to see all white enclaves in Brooklyn?


See how this misquoting shit works?  ;D

"get whitey", "retribution" plan, "capitalists"?!   I'm not sure who you are quoting, but it's not me.  My intention was to provide you with some actual historical information about contagious diseases in this country and to point out that your paranoia and attempt to scapegoat "illegals" is unwarranted.

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." - Rod Serling


Rod Serling should have been President. He was a supremely erudite and subtle man. Sadly the parables have been wasted on most.

There is no Church of England? No Bonfire night? I thought you lived in England. Maybe I was wrong.

The waste of money that is bonfire night on November the 5th, doesn't burn an effigy of the pope. It's an effigy (if your imagination runs riot on the word 'effigy') of Guido Fawkes who attempted to blow up the then king. The state doesn't fund the church, any church. You'll find the C of E is the wealthiest land owner in the country, it has no need to get any funds from the state.

Blah, Not news. There has been the atheist tv show for decades, at least in my area. And, yes, some of the callers are rude or uneducated. But so is the host sometimes. Whatever. In the USA you can express your opinion, even religious opinion. Even if it offends someone. Got the money or a lot of time on your hands. Go put up a billboard or harangue people on the street. At least we don't, yet, have a state funded church as you lot do. Or burn effigies of the Pope on Nov 5th.


Where exactly do you get your information from? Whoever it is, you need to punch them really hard.

GabCast tomorrow at 8pm EST.  We'll be discussing ghost photos, ebola, jazmunda will be talking sexy voice, and assorted nonsense.  Will Taintco have a new commercial?  Will jazmunda's sexy voice actually be sexy?  Are Australians capable of higher reasoning?  Tune in to the GabCast tomorrow at 8pm to find out.

*jazmunda has been a really good sport with all the fun we've poked at him about his butthurt and being Australian.  Hats off to jazmunda for being such a solid dude. 

But but, he's still Australian.

** jazmunda is only being a good sport because we're Americans and any country stupid enough to elect George Dubbya Bush TWICE is obviously collectively ignorant so an insult about intelligence from us would be a compliment in the eyes of every other industrialized county.  Except for TonyBlairsylvania.


Let it go on record I never voted for the party that Tony Bliar represents. I wanted nothing to do with the smarmy, mendacious, self agrandising, mendacious, smarmy, mendacious prick. He lies too.

I still find this hard to believe. How paranoid can people be that they they're not sure of their faith they will be this vile to those who are not religious? This is spreading the word of their deity?  :-\
It also suggests some are not that bright either.

Quote
Atheists in the US are rallying together, launching a new TV programme and providing support for those who go public with their beliefs.

The parents of Katelyn Campbell, 19, from West Virginia, have been very supportive of her stance as an atheist. Her problem has been other members of the community. "In high school, when I walked down the hallway it would be completely silent, or I would be spat on," Katelyn says.

A recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Centre shows Americans would rather have a president who was either in their 70s, or openly gay, or who had never held any public office than one that was atheist.

Astonishingly, a previous poll by Pew suggested respondents in the US regarded atheists as less trustworthy than rapists. One of Atheist TV's new phone-in programmes, The Atheist Experience, has already had a taste of how many Americans perceive "non-believers".

"So you were studying to be a minister, and now you don't believe in God? You're the devil," one caller tells the host. "You're a Marxist, you're an atheist and you're from Russia," says another.

That was a strange Pavlovian non-sequitur.


I think the implication was that as various populations in the past have been destroyed by imported diseases, it won't be a surprise if it goes around again. The difference being, the bloke in isolation in hospital is unlikely to be spreading his seed the way it was done in  the past with reckless abandon. There's even a possibility he may recover.

Blah blah blah.  The chances of anyone in the USA getting infected are less than being attacked by a great white shark in your bathtub.  Some British guy with bad teeth and a perpetual sneer said so.


It's less a sneer and more a curled lip, you're okay on the rest though.

So I have no compassion, eh? 
Why it seems like only yesterday you were advocating shooting drug addicts in the head. 

And drunks. The ones who attack medical staff. I might compromise and allow them to be thrown in a pit outside the hospital until they sober up..Okay, a pit with a foot of dog shit in the bottom.. I can't say fairer than that.


Quote
My compassion lies in the fact that I think it would be best for everyone if any infected people were treated within the confines of the quarantine zone of the outbreak.  I would like it very much if zero more people were to die from Ebola.  It was noble to bring him home to the US for treatment, almost as noble as his Christianity driven efforts to help the poor people of Africa, but it was a risky and cavalier move that has endangered a new set of healthcare workers unnecessarily.  I'm not panicked, but I find the situation troubling.  I also find it interesting that the same people who say "America has the worst healthcare system in the world" now suddenly seem to believe that the USA healthcare system is uniquely superior and qualified and obviously the best place to treat a US citizen with Ebola.


In Africa, his chances of any treatment are severely limited. The reason he's been taken to where he's been taken is because there's a specific unit that is geared to what he will need. He's a US citizen going back home to be treated, but because he's got Ebola you'd prefer he not be repatriated and then you can sleep easier at night.. I bet tonight you're glad you're you and not him.

Who has said that America has the worst healthcare system in the world? I think what has been said, is it isn't open for everyone to use unless they can pay for it. Not the same thing. It's also quite inefficient in relation to capital expenditure, but that isn't really relevant to the Ebola case.

Edit:

Here are the highlights.

Caption to a photo.

Kent Brantly (right) insisted the only serum available go to a colleague.       I don't know about anyone else, but if he isn't owed a flight home, what is?

Quote
A senior US health official said the outbreak was out of control but insisted it could be stopped.

Ebola has claimed 728 lives in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone this year. The current mortality rate is about 55%.

Meanwhile, an American doctor infected with the virus is improving in hospital after returning to the US from Liberia.

Dr Kent Brantly arrived at a military base in Georgia on Saturday before being driven to Emory University Hospital.

"The single most important thing we can do to protect Americans is to stop this disease at the source in Africa" he said.

Special plane
The plane carrying Dr Brantly was outfitted with a special portable tent designed for transporting patients with highly infectious diseases.

The same aircraft is due to bring missionary Nancy Writebol from West Africa.

The hospital facility which will treat both patients is one of four in the US able to handle Ebola patients.

US officials say they are confident the patients can be treated without putting the public in any danger.

The National Institutes of Health in the US has said it will begin testing a possible Ebola vaccine in September.

Just in case here is a map for you.
http://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/quarantine-stations-us.html
CDC has the legal authority to detain any person who may have an infectious disease that is specified by Executive Order to be quarantinable.


Yes, that's the same all over the western world. All notifiable diseases are subject to similar regs.

0 ebola deaths in the US at this time. i believe i pointed that out
yes ebola always generates a large amount of mindless panic. you have to note many thing things about ebola, the very 1st is it occurs in a very poor part of the world. these people are often malnourished to begin with, which dramatically lowers the chance of surviving ebola. often there are secondary infections, or even the ebola is a secondary infection (things like cholera and e.coli run rampant there, due to poor or no sanitation).
   

Yes. Added to it in the African countries they have the superstition and denial.

Quote from: wr250 on August 03, 2014, 12:36:26 PM
well the risk of being shot by a person that legally obtained the weapon is many times higher than any us citizen catching ebola at this time.
however, your risk of dying in a hospital due to malpractice and/or preventable medical errors many times higher than being killed by a firearm, legally obtained or not, in the US is much lower.
210,000 on average yearly from hospital preventable errors, and 32,351 (2011 stats) deaths from gunshot (includes all gun deaths, suicide, self defense, violent crime, accidental ,etc).
so pick your poison, you have to die from something. death and taxes are the only 2 constants in life.


32000 with firearms? Wow... Ebola deaths?

Malpractice is big business too, lots of lawyers depend on it. Mind you you're better off without it.

But Ebola is way way down the list; yet seems to be generating quite a bit of panic without evidence to justify it. And someone to assemble a poster with Obama in the back of his presidential car to imply he's the culprit is frankly ludicrous.
