Then you WILL not get the respect from me that I accord to other human beings, because YOU aren't respecting other human beings.
Because you are being a racist.
No not really, if we came up with a functional unified plan that was given the resources of all the unnecessary specialized semi-functional plans, we would almost certainly end up helping more people altogether, which almost certainly means helping more "down trodden minorities". I don't think we should drop the current plans
RIGHT NOW!!!, that would be stupid and harmful, but it would be significantly more effective if we worked more on a plan taking advantage of a concerted effort with more resources behind it thusly helping more, probably significantly more, people.
Oh and did I mention you also come across as close-minded and rude? If everyone else just decides they don't want to talk to you anymore it doesn't mean you've "won" the debate.

Wrong again. I eschew needless medications for the later benefits of greater overall health; I don't want to flood my system with unnecessary doses of foreign chemicals sending secondary signals to body and brain that often do minor, and rarely major, harm. A little, very temporary, pain or discomfort is a small price to pay for a healthy body and mind.
