Pediatrician declines to care for lesbians baby

:thumbsup: Yup. This is precisely why I have eschewed the dogma and rhetoric of organized religion. Any organized religion. I know too much about it. Four years of theology courses at a Jesuit Catholic university will do that. I am not agnostic nor am I a theist or an atheist. I am...

Read Ghandi's thoughts on the subject of Jesus vs. his purported followers. He summed it up better than anyone. “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” --Mahtma Ghandi

Choices? Where do you believe I made some sort of choice? It is called an orientation. GLBT is NOT a choice nor a lifestyle. Literally anyone can have HIV or HEP. You are correct. Anyone. Not an excuse for a medical practitioner to refuse to treat. A health condition of this magnitude...

Ok, you are obviously playing the Devils' advocate on this one! I felt the sarcasm right through the monitor :)

Well said. I would add the consequences are even more dire for a health care professional than, for example, a shoe maker or florist...

Yeah, and... Doctors (according to the Hippocratic Oath, state licensing requirements, and a moral/ethical code of conduct as dictated by the AMA) are to provide health care without inflicting further harm UNLESS they are not qualified to do so. That would be the ONLY valid reason to deny...

Pediatrician declines to care for lesbians baby

Well, I happen to live in MI. I also happen to be gay. I have also been refused medical treatment based upon my sexuality. I have had it happen TWICE in the last several years. Now, before I sign up for a PCP, I specifically ask the doctor in person if they have an issue with providing...

Any *real* difference between these MBs??

Yes, there is a real difference between the two: SLI PLUS: Lower end ALC892 audio CODEC, which is definitely not that great of a CODEC. You would want to use a sound card if you are at all picky about your audio. The SLI PLUS lacks the following that the MPOWER provides: Higher end sound...

Thanks and my thoughts as well at this point. At least I KNOW I am going to give up a bit in color and contrast (but not much) going with the AOC and with G-Sync I would be CERTAIN I would not have to worry about what refresh rate I am at, what FPS I am getting and if I will tear or stutter, etc.

I do not know what panels are behind TVs, other than some are LCD (LED backlit or CCFL), plasma, or OLED. As for which one uses TN, if any, I am not even remotely qualified to answer that one. Sorry!

As with any monitor (TN or IPS or what have you) the hallmarks of a good one are good professional level reviews and user reviews where they are sold which is usually indicative of QC at the manufacturer level. But, in general, an actual calibrated contrast ratio of 1000:1 or better, low...

Unless someone has some other ideas.... I did check into the Eizo...too much money and some QC concerns to boot.

It would seem the dilemma is solved by sacrificing a little on color and contrast and going with G-Sync. That would be the AOC. The AOC is the least expensive G-Sync 144Hz display available, from what I can determine. BenQ does have a nice version of the above (in the thread) TN monitor...

Gaming monitor debate

I am a lone FPS gamer. I do not on-line game. Ping times over a TCP/IP connection are irrelevant to me. What this comes down to is what monitor is the best match for my GTX 970. I spent some money on it, and to be tied to a 60Hz refresh rate (therefore no more than 60 FPS on the screen)...

Well, in my case if I pick up a 144Hz display, then I can expect stutter at nearly all times. The benchmarks I ran indicate I will spend a lot of time at 60 to 80 FPS, but the true average is 58 FPS according to the benches. I guess this is where the Adaptive VSync (half-refresh rate) comes...

Thank you. I will check out this monitor. You indicate that G-Sync will be of no real benefit to me. Would you please expand on that? Also, I assume you mean by persistence=input lag/pixel response time?

Well, other than viewing angles the folks at Tom's think the BenQ is every bit the equal of an IPS display. However, I tend to agree with the generalization that TN is crap! That is why I have IPS now. BUT, as you know IPS just does not cut it for absolute input lag and response time...

First, let me preface by saying I am a FPS gamer, but a casual one in nature. I do not play games competitively. I own a high-end PC, as follows: Core i7-4790K MSI Gaming Z97M mATX mobo 16 GB DDR3-2133 ASUS Strix NVidia GeForce GTX 970 Sound Blaster Z SanDisk Extreme Pro 480GB SSD as...
