During a debate I had today someone told me that blacks are treated unfairly as patients. She stated according to recent studies (I’ll post links below) that 50% of medical students in a survey believed that blacks feel less pain than whites.

What I really want to know is: does anyone really believe these studies are truthful and legitimate? It is so completely absurd and foolish that it’s hard to believe anyone would believe this study is anything more than propaganda.

First of all, unintelligent people don’t get admitted to medical school. You’d have to be stupid to believe such a thing was true to start with. Second of all if this is true those students need to get a refund for their education because apparently they were taught very complex and difficult course material but their universities failed to cover basic neurology. Yes, people do have different degrees of pain tolerance but to stretch that concept to an entire race?

So I gotta know. Do you seriously believe medical students (no one gets into med school with Bs and Cs) who went through high school, general education in college, pre med and some med school actually believe blacks have greater pain tolerance than whites due to racial bias? As far as I’m concerned this is the most outlandish propaganda I’ve seen in a long time. Feel free to examine the attached articles and be careful not to step in the BS while you read.

As children, we are told that we must be "fair" to other people, and that usually involves treating them the way we would want to be treated. So, when we start dating, most of us believe that relationships should be "fair." For most, that implies that both participants should make a substantially equal effort for their partner. But some people have different ideas about what "fairness" means, and some people get extremely upset when they decide their partner isn't being "fair."

All relationships can't always be fair. I am getting married on April 27 and my fiancee (who lived in China until she was 29 years old) knows NOTHING about American weddings, and that is what she wants: an American wedding. So I must do all of the planning. I could complain that isn't fair, but what does that accomplish?

I think "fair" isn't a useful concept for relationships. It should be replaced with two questions: are you getting your needs met in the relationship, and is your partner usually contributing to the best of his or her abilities? If the answers are "yes" and "no," then it is most likely a healthy relationship. What do you think?

I have a different perspective on love than most people. I see love in more of a scientific sense. I see love as a source of personal pleasure and natural biology, when we look for love we seek mainly two things, pleasure and procreation. When we love someone we are flooded with "feel good hormones" such as oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin and we naturally seek pleasure as humans just like how you listen to your favorite song and eat your favorite food you get pleasure from that. We also seek love in order to procreate and keep the human population flourishing, i. e. sex. I probably left some facts out but you probably got the gist of it by now. Some of you may think it's bland and dull, some of you might agree, some of you might find it cute in a nerdy way.

BEFORE YOU GET THE WRONG IDEA OF ME

Do I believe in love? Yes, I just don't believe in the whimsical fantasy of it portrayed in movies and fairy tales on how there's destiny and there's that "one" out there.

Do I think love is all about sex? Mostly, but it doesn't have to be. I'm actually waiting until marriage to have sex and populating the world isn't important anymore. The reason I say mostly is because if sex wasn't a thing then relationships wouldn't be a thing either, there would be no gender and no real reason to be in relationships and we would have friends instead.
