Thanks for your input. I would love to take this off-list, but I did
that once last year and you publicly berated me for not having the guts
to keep the discussion on-list for everyone to see. I am not one bit
embarrassed, and I find it ironic that just two days ago your response
to me regarding my post on this subject was "I agree with more than most
of this". Look me up if your ever in Texas, I'll show you some of the
real world.

Now you're just embarrassing yourself.  If you must continue this
nonsense, take it off-list so I can add you to my junk mail filter.

"... Stereotypes are ideas held about members of particular groups,
based solely on membership in that group..."

... And a majority of people in the projects have top-of-the-line
entertainment centers and computers.  And if I spend any time at triage,
I'll understand how wads of poor families visit the ED for sniffles.  I
can practically hear them chuckling to themselves for sticking it to The
Man.

It's bullshit, Rick.  Still not sure whether you're either a liar or a
moron (you brought those suspicions on yourself, don't blame me); but
I'm increasingly confident that you're both a burnout and a bigot.

Flame on.  My trash can awaits.

Pret,
You failed to quote the definition of stereotyping that I included in my
last post which included the rationale for my belief that I am not
stereotyping. You are certainly free to disagree with me, however
calling me a liar or an idiot for not seeing it your way, is
stereotyping on your behalf. I could easily assume that everyone who
lives in Maine is a loud mouth who resorts to name calling and
humiliation when they no longer have anything constructive to say, but I
don't. I actually hope for the sake of the State of Maine that you are
the only one.

Skip,
We are not stereotyping...

No?

"...No matter who you talk to whether it would  be a Firefighter,
Paramedic or police officer the one thing that all agree  on is that
upon entering the homes of such people is 99% of them have a  huge
entertainment system of some kind.  All of the fancy gadgets  included.
Hi-Def surround sound, hi-def flat screen TV and hi-def whatever..."

"...I have been in those projects and other public funded type housing
areas, and the majority do have top of the line entertainment centers,
computers etc. Spend some time in your ED triage room sometime, Mom and
Dad bring all 4 kids in for the sniffles, when asked why they did not
see the family doc, they say they can't afford to pay him, yet both Mom
and Dad have top of the line cell phones, and each kid is listening to
his or her own I-pod and Dad excuses himself to step outside and
smoke..."
--Rick Moore, 9 April

"...How many times dose this happen?  Plane load of immigrants lands
from the airport.  Give the Triage nurse something vague that there kids
are experiencing like oh, umm "headache" for instance.  What a
coincidence, all of there children have the same signs and symptoms.
You know as well as I do that they get a warm meal and a full work up...
I agree that the 99% may be a bit exaggerated but I'm not way off..."

--Anthony Caruso, 10 April

Forgive me for wondering whether you're a liar or simply an idiot.  

This thread has run well past the point of usefulness.
