Huey Driver: I don't know do you have any good liberal arguments…

Nagy: My "good liberal arguments" are my own. The proof is in legal arguments I have advanced that did not even appear in the dissenting opinions of District of Columbia v. Heller.


Nagy: "Good honest people" are not being held accountable for what "a few bad folks do." If they were, they would be imprisoned for murders they do not commit. You seem to have difficulty understanding or accepting that a certain percentage of those "good honest people" will become "bad folk" by gunning down a friend, relative, coworker, etc; that it is impossible to predict which of them will become "bad folk," therefore, to preserve the lives of their victims, nearly no civilian should have firearms.

Huey Driver: I think maybe we should ban all knives, cars, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. They seem to k**l people also.

Nagy:

1. knives, cars, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. have purposes without which far more damage would be done than their occasional malevolent misuse. For example, banning motor vehicles would cause the collapse of the infrastructure, resulting in millions of urban residents starving to death, a far greater carnage than the tens of thousands of accidental deaths and the very few murders caused by vehicles.

2. the primary purpose of firearms is to tear through flesh and bone.

3. per unit time in use, firearms cause far more carnage than motor vehicles. The average adult is in his car about an hour a day; that is hundreds of millions of people. The average person does not even own a gun. About a third of the population does, and the guns are kept under the bed or in a cabinet most of the time. For the relatively few moments they are in actual use, they k**l about the same number of people as traffic accidents. Unlike cars they serve not much good purpose.

After making arguments so unbelievably weak, you should consider not labeling what I write as any liberal talking points. You, not I, are the person who is not thinking about this at all, but regurgitating stupid points that somehow impress him. Try canning the NRA line about banning cars, etc. It is too easy to refute.

I have suffered from episodes of vaso vagle syncope in the past, gone through cardiovascular and neurological workups, and they never found the root cause. In my case each time a severe cramp somewhere in my body drained my blood from my upper extremities and caused me to pass out for a very short time. But, cooling down quickly can prevent passing out, you just have to catch it early in the cycle for the cool down to keep you conerent. Cool compresses on the back of your neck works the best.

This doctor is basically becoming Chicken Little and crying "The Sky is Falling"!

If it was a syncope episode it's really no big deal, unless they start happening more and more often in some kind of time line pattern.

But, it was most likely was caused by pneumonia related exhaustion.

And yes you can recover rather quickly with rest, cooler temoeratures, and fluids in and short space of time from either of these causes.

Huey Driver is a perfect example of what happens when one's thinking is infected by Fixed News. The US has by far the highest murder rate of all advanced nations, but that is no problem to him. He apparently opposes background checks, but is adamant against allowing Syrian refugees into the country on the premise that some of them are probably terrorists. He accuses the Democrats of allowing them into the courtly without properly screening them, although he has not the slightest proof for this. Thus, to him, the proven mortality caused by guns in private American hands is not an issue. The hypothesized threat of Syrians admitted to the country is.

The most devastating example of this thought process was Bush II choosing to attack Iraq because, among other false charges, it was working on developing an atomic bomb. North Korea already had the atomic bomb, but Bush attacked the country he said might develop one. Once again, the real problem was less of a concern than a hypothesized, indeed, fabricated one.
