• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I can make up a similar one about me. But would you believe it? I don't think so. Why bother?

Bonafides can be checked quite easily these days, mine are:

BSc with honours in Geology Edinburgh University 1983-1987
Msc in Micropalaeontology UCL 1987-1988 by published thesis.

In both cases I am on the alumni lists for the relevant universities.

The fact that you are so sectretive about any qualifications that you do have and that your posts show little understanding of science in general and geology in particular lead me to believe you pose as a scientists to try and gain some kudos on these boards.

I think that is the consensus vieew on this board as well. If you had any relevant qualifications there would be no need to be shy of posting them, everybody else does, there is even a thread for posting your relevant experience somewhere on this board.

If I had to guess I would say that you are are an unqualified teacher of science at a private Christian school.

It is possible you have a degree, I doubt it is in science.

We don't want or expect you to "make up" anything. However, if you posted verifiable data on your qualifications, it may settle a lot of questions about your claims.

Verifiable? Are you kidding?

I'm afraid I don't understand why the idea of providing enough detail for us to verify your credentials would be so shocking to you. thaumaturgy is open to giving the details of his credentials. We aren't asking for name date of birth and social security number, just schools, published papers, degrees, etc.

I'm 4/5s the way through a Bachelor of Nursing from the University of New England... and I ain't seen anything that was irreducibly complex yet.

That is interesting. Just review any of your nursing procedures. In addition to remember them, begin to ask: why? and why not? Then you will see some "irreducibly complex" issues.

You reckon? A big component of my course is whats called "evidence based practice" which is to say, studying why we do things and getting rid of practices (e.g. EUSOL) that have no scientific basis.

Sure, parts of nursing (including biolgy study)are complex, but none irreducibly so. Unless you have anything specific in mind...?

Come on, let's give juvenissun a break. He obviously doesn't have any credentials or qualifications in the matter. Until some positive proof is provided, we're going to assume the negative. (That concept may be strange to you; i.e. absence of evidence being evidence of absence.) You stand only to gain from it.

OK, I guess you are used to the US nursing system. You should know that nurses at different country have a different level of duty. For example, in some countries, nurses DO NOT do diagnosis. But they do a host of things that a RN does not do here.

So, is the issue on the duty of nurse itself complex enough? It is complex right from the very beginning.
