I see China invading (or at least attempting) and just doing some seriously fucked up war crimes to any other Asian country they invade. Of course Japan would get the worst of it.

The judge is now ordering the guy/girl to have his lawyer's fees reimbursed which could amount to 500,000 dollars.

I guess the system does work.

Isn't it swell how prisoners have a constitutional right to free health care but law abiding citizens do not?

Absolutely. I also love bamboo splinters under my nails and snakes using my face to take out aggression.

The past two days have sucked. Yesterday I woke up in a lot of pain and realized that one of my wisdom teeth is trying to break through the skin, so I've been on the hunt for an oral surgeon in the area. This morning, I woke up barely able to breathe with a horrible sore throat and congestion. Went to the dr, I was told I shouldn't be going to any classes, or my internship for the rest of the week. I feel like a pussy. :|

Make sure the surgeon gets all of the pieces if he breaks the teeth...

That sounds cringe worthy.

It sucks- I have pieces of all four teeth still in my gums. Every once in a while one works its way to the surface and I can pull it out.

I guess I could just find another surgeon to remove them, but the amount of pain is tolerable, as opposed to the cost which is not.

You get some great drugs, though. I never understood how people got addicted to painkillers until I had them. So you should also start worrying about drug addiction, is what I'm saying.

I've actually always wondered that as well. The strongest pain medication I've ever had is over the counter tylenol. What do stronger painkillers do exactly that makes people get addicted to them? Do they just really relax you? Is it something that can't be described and you must experience the feeling to understand?
