This Forum Makes Baby Jesus Cry

Been reading the discussions over valuemd, and I got to admit but this forum is much much more mean-spirited than the others.

So it got me to thinking...are most (note I didn't say "all") med students and doctors like this in real life--cutting each other down, looking for weaknesses and just being nasty because the opportunity presents itself (like with the GMC issue with this school)? Or is this just their online personas doing the talking?

depends, some are some arent.....but turn the tides....isnt it great that a public forum exists so students can learn about deficiencies in ALL the schools before they start?

Many docs have enormous egos. Most get along just fine. I think the anonymity allows for more ill feelings to be shown here on the forum. While I would bet at least some of my colleagues don't much care for me....since I pretty much speak my mind.....none show it. G

Jesus?

Are you sure you want to use our Savior's name in this manner? It's much too precious.

Jesus Jesus Jesus Precious Name I Know....

Jesus Jesus Jesus Follows Me Wherever I Go.

The Son of God. He died for you and me. So that when we go to God and say we are sorry for our sins we will be forgiven and not condemned. Our Savior. Precious Lamb of God.

Not a Joke!

No, not a joke, but then again...

Living in a fantasy hardly ever is.
Imaginary friends for grown-ups.

Read The Christ Conspiracy.

I thought this guy died, 2000 years ago, how can he save me, while he could not save himself from the people who killed him on the cross. there is no scientific proof that he was the son of God. Who is God anyway!! how can God be precious; How do you know your God is more powerful than my God. Religion is just a cultural thing, and every society have their own way of worshiping. My self I worship the nature, the sun and the moon.
