N1Vtr44/$_35.JPG). But it kindof annoys me anyway cause the abbreviation doesnt make sense, the key words are Old Gods, so I think you either go full acronym wotog and just use it as a word, or just go old gods or OG. WOG is weird, whisper old god sounds kinda retarded.

About the offensiveness of the word, the N word wasn't offensive in Britain until we basically got told by American films and music that it was offensive, so the racial term people in the older generations used was Wog, so they're basically straight equivlents and just as offensive as each other. People just ignoring the fact that it's an offensive word is kinda annoying, if the British were trying to get everyone to abreviate an expansion to NIGA, pretty sure people would be going mental, but there isnt any context at all for the N word in Britain so its the same situation where we only know its offensive because we're told its offensive.

In Britain, Wog or Golliwog are much more offensive than the word Cunt. Easily, about 100x more likely to get knocked out saying it in a busy street.« Carbon 60: the new ‘cure all’?
There are no representative studies using a probability sample examining whether US physicians recommend so-called alternative medicines (SCAMs) to their patients. This article fills a void in the current literature for robust data on recommendations for SCAMs by office-based physicians in the US.
Descriptive statistics and multivariable regression analyses of physician-level data were from the 2012 Physician Induction Interview of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS PII), a nationally representative survey of office-based physicians. Weighted response rate among eligible physicians sampled for the 2012 NAMCS PII was 59.7%.
Recommendations by physicians to their patients were recorded for any SCAM, and the following individual SCAMs: massage therapy, herbs/nonvitamin supplements, chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, yoga, acupuncture, and mind–body therapies.
Massage therapy was the most commonly recommended SCAM (30.4%), followed by chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation (27.1%), herbs/nonvitamin supplements (26.5%), yoga (25.6%), and acupuncture (22.4%). The most commonly recommended SCAMs by general/family practice physicians were chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation (54.0%) and massage therapy (52.6%). Of all U.S. physicians, 53.1% recommended at least one SCAM to patients during the previous 12 months. Multivariable analyses found physician’s sex, race, specialty, and U.S. region to be significant predictors of SCAMrecommendations. Female physicians were more likely than male physicians to recommend massage therapy, herbs/nonvitamin supplements, yoga, acupuncture, and mind–body therapies to patients. Psychiatrists, OB/GYNs, and paediatricians were all less likely to recommend chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation than general and family practitioners.
The authors concluded that, overall, more than half of office-based physicians recommended at least one SCAM to their patients. Female physicians recommended every individual SCAM at a higher rate than male physicians except for chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation. These findings may enable consumers, physicians, and medical schools to better understand potential differences in use of SCAMs with patients.
Who cares what type of SCAMs US physicians recommended to their patients 7 years ago?
And who knows what the true figures would have looked like, if the ~40% who did not respond would have been included?
Such surveys usually tell us little of relevance. What is worse, they are misused for exploiting the ‘appeal to authority’ fallacy which hold that, if physicians recommend SCAMs, they must be fine. That this is a fallacy becomes obvious, if we remind ourselves that US physicians also are the main cause for the current opioid crisis in the US (if physicians recommend opioids, they must be fine???).
73% of US physicians do NOT recommend chiropractic/osteopathic manipulations.
73% of them do NOT recommend herbal medicine.
74% of them do NOT recommend yoga.
77% of them do NOT recommend acupuncture.
That are encouraging numbers…..
I should like to see those results ran cleaner with a single referral source, ie chiropractic, osteopathic or acupuncturist. I am not sure that by leaving it open like that the results are of such high value. In the UK i doubt any or few practitioners would consider a massage referral a bad thing but there are few who would look upon chiropractic with the same slant.
How much better to prescribe opioids for their placating effect?
you seem to have an endless reservoir of nonsensical comments.
I have noted that many MDs are simply gullible to the notion that there is “some truth” lying behind chiroquackery, acupuncture and massage etc. as opposed to the recognition that they are all entrepreneurial theatrics masquerading as healthcare…performed by a segment of the populous not having the capability to join the ranks of real-scientific ventures. And there are many MDs in the 30% who I’d believe simply patronize the patient with the hope of a placebo response or to diminish their overburdened practices.
And how is that working out for them?
after causing the opioid crisis, they could do with more quackery.
are you claiming that all spinal manipulation is quackery?
Just trying to understand your comment with regards to not referring patients for spinal manipulation….
That’s about the ratio of intelligent, straight thinking US doctors, right?
Good to hear there are some honorable wise men in CON-MED (conventional medicine) who know when to consult alternative therapies.
And the medical Dr will be responsible to your pseudoscience procedure if it goes bad, when he endorses it. A good lawyer in US will go after the money tree when a alternative medicine jackoff hurts his patient. He is going after medical Dr. with much more money tied up in hospital and malpractice insurance payouts. These Drs who do this are very gullible.
Do they really recommend them? Or, are they accepting their patients alternative ideas. Knowing it will not hurt them but in wallet. I cannot believe a medical doctor would recommend it, puts malpractice lawsuits back on them for endorsing it if a death or injury occurs. Lawyers are very good at what they do. They go after the money tree. I am having hard time with these numbers, seems wrong.
Talks about DmC2 only happened a little after DMC5's announcement and I think it was made for PR reasons as DMC5's announcement came off a little like "yeah, this is what we've been wanting to make for 10 years, please forget the reboot"

I find it fairly amusing that just when Ninja Theory was bought by Microsoft, Capcom decided to say "Yeah, we'd totally do DmC2 with Ninja Theory, shame that MS bought them" when a few months after DmC's release Capcom was like "Never outsource any of our IPs ever again"That was Martin Webb, the guy who confounded C-Side with Simon Kirby, the MP who was allegedly so dense he was given the role of finance minister (or there abouts) in the Tory government and the finance industry asked for him to be replaced by someone more competent. C Side was bought by Gavin George and became the foundation of Laine Pub Co. I seem to recall. I’ve no idea whether Martin Webb and Robert Webb are related but I’ve never seen anything to suggest they are. Martin Webb had a short lived career on TV doing a Kitchen Nightmares/ Hotel Inspector show, i think one episode featured a place in Gardner St, then he owned the Dyke Rd Tavern or whatever it’s called and upset the neighbours by trying to turn it into flatsImage Source : PTI External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Catherine Colonna held their first trilateral ministerial meeting
External Affairs Minister Jaishankar arrived in New York to participate in 77th UNGA session.
India, the UAE and France have held their first trilateral ministerial meeting here on the sidelines of a UN General Assembly session and exchanged ideas on a new and more contemporary way of doing diplomacy with a focus on the “active exchange” of ideas between strategic partners and UNSC members. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrived in New York on Sunday to participate in the high-level 77th session of the UN General Assembly, which kick-starts September 20 with the opening of the General Debate.
“A productive first trilateral Ministerial meeting of India-UAE-France. Active exchange of ideas between strategic partners and UNSC members,” Jaishankar tweeted after the meeting, hosted by the UAE on Monday, with UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Catherine Colonna. Jaishankar began his hectic diplomatic week with a series of bilateral and multilateral engagements on the sidelines of the high-level session.
This was the first ministerial-level meeting of India, the UAE and France trilateral. The three countries, while different, are strategic partners to one another and discussions focussed on areas of commonalities and on working out how to specify and concretise these commonalities going forward, official sources said. They said the three countries
