OverlordMcGeek Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Claudette Colvin was the first black woman to not give up her seat for someone white, not rosa parks. Parks was Secretary for the NAACP at the time and when Colvin's actions hit the news the NAACP thought the tactic was a great way to bring eyes and ears to their cause. Since Colvin was merely a child (15 years old) they didn't want to seem like they were exploiting her so they chose Parks as the "face of the movement". When Rosa Parks boarded the bus that day it was under instruction to refuse to give up her seat in the front of the bus; copying Colvin's actions and refocusing the attention on an adult who was better suited to handle the media attention and interviews.

OverlordMcGeek Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 If you are unfortunate enough to need to go to the hospital uninsured (in the US) the astronomical bill they give you is NOT what they intend on you paying Call them and tell them your situation. No hospital expects a patient to come up with 100k for a surgery, the bill is intended for the insurance company because they haggle prices to get to a final bill. They will GREATLY reduce payment if you cannot afford it. Too many people go without care because they think that a hospital visit will bankrupt them when its not true. Some hospitals will even wave the bill completely under certain circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverlordMcGeek Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 If you're a permanent or non-permanent resident alien, you can purchase a home in the U.S. In order to qualify for a loan you typically need to be a permanent resident alien with a valid USCIS card or a "Green Card" and Social Security number. If you are a temporary resident alien with a valid work permit and Social Security number and have been in the United States continuously for the last 2 years, with steady employment and good credit history, you may also qualify for a loan.

TheBrsrkr Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Scientists currently cannot explain why humans and animals need sleep. On all accounts, it appears that all things accomplished by sleep can be done while fully awake, but resting. A tester goes on record saying,"we have no idea why anything needs to sleep. All of our analysis amounts to nothing. The only reason we sleep is because we feel sleepy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverlordMcGeek Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Lysergic acid diethylamide, also known as LSD, wasn't invented by accident. But, was found to have certain effects. Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann had accidentally discovered the effects of one of the strongest psychic drugs in modern times. Although Hofmann experimented further with the drug and pushed for its use in medical and psychiatric settings, he was not thrilled to learn that people were abusing the drug recreationally in the 1960s. As a result, he resorted to calling LSD his problem child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrsrkr Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The nervous system will eventually shut down if sleep is deprived for too long. Yes, but we don't know why the processes that maintain human systems only happen while sleeping. The can, and should, be happening all the time. Also, the reason you become permanently paralyzed when you spinal cord is injured is because your brain is too complicated to recreate those exact neurodes and synapses, and so just gives up.
