Matters have passed the limits of "inasmuch as possible" and "insofar as it depends on" me.
I was tempted to say that this is - what's his name again? - Mickiel(?) all over again, but he was just an amateur.

Do I intimidate you so much that you feel it necessary to make up stuff about me so I'm not so "scary"?
First it was your insistence on saying that I style myself as a classicist when I've repeatedly made it clear that I make no such pretenses and am nothing more than an interested amateur. Nevertheless you felt obligated to continue disseminating that falsehood. And it is real ironic, given that you are the one who has taken on airs as being a professional historian, who apparently can't help but to make the same sort of mistakes that a first year student learns to avoid making during the first semester. All while sneering how "with regard to the discipline of history I know a great more than most of the contributors to these boards"
I'm not an art connoisseur, and have never presented myself as one (that's just something you made up), but I do like art and I'm familiar with Bosch (who was a prolific painter). I'm also a big fan of Monet and a chap by the name of John Atkinson Grimshaw, but unlike you just because I'm interested in them, I don't proclaim myself an expert.
As I posted above:
I'll also add that both of the Breueghel's works strongly resemble those of Bosch that the elder Breueghel (Pieter) was referred to as the Second Bosch in his time.

Originally posted by Catholicity View PostI personally did a little more research, because the Guardian is weird. I do think this is an example of overreach. Social Services found no wrong doing. If the medicine was taken at guidelines, there needed to be other questions asked. In general some of the laws concerning opioid prescribing have gotten to a level I would consider to be dangerous. Not because patients get them too easily, but, for example, we had a patient who had broken his leg in 3 places, and two ribs. Normally you'd be given morphine or similar in the hospital, however the local emergency room, so afraid of liability and prosecution gave the man one single oral opioid pill. When he came to the pharmacy he was sweating and his blood pressure was through the roof. We thought he would pass out from shock. Not because he was in withdrawal, because the pain was so obvious.
If a woman has a condition that renders her in such severe pain she is at risk of secondary conditions developing (high blood pressure is one) then she should have the right to be treated even if she is pregnant. The enforcement of the laws should not be so severe that she can't have access to treatment should she be pregnant. I'm not negating that we've been in an opioid crisis, but I do believe that what is happening now is not treating the crisis either.
Now the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, but I think in part because of just how powerful some of the pain killers available now are.

I wonder if the community there has a particular problem with opioid abuse and this is part of a "get tough" campaign to try to reduce it (or more cynically, a part of a political campaign to show he's tough on crime -- something we'll probably see a LOT of this coming election cycle)

Each to their own I suppose.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by CivilDiscourse View PostDoes anyone remember the case of . He was the German guy who was arrested for visiting an air-raid shelter. Germany kept this man, who was sexually abused by his parents and teachers, in jail for 9 years, where they eventually killed him during surgery.
What Bartsch's case would suggest is that he was not born with those behaviours. They were the result of his own serious abuse and trauma; and his case raises questions about other such individuals that sections of the press so often like to term "evil" or "monsters". How many of those had been brutalised, mistreated or otherwise "damaged" in their own childhoods or youth? I recently re-read Truman Capote's book In Cold Blood a non-fiction novel based on the Clutter murders in Kansas in 1959. Perry Smith had a horrendous childhood and Hickock may have suffered brain damage from an earlier auto accident."It ain't necessarily so

From the Wiki article to which you linked, he was not "arrested for visiting an air-raid shelter."
<snipped for irrelevance>
It's an accurate description (well as accurate as your thread title)
