Way back in the late 80s my brother had to have titanium rods put in his back for a real bad case of scoliosis. I met a guy there who had an implant in his hip that was stimulating bone growth as one of his legs was shorter than the other. It's interesting to hear about updates to the use of this technology.

I DO NOT CARE and moreover;

Saying that you are "offended" is simply saying that you are unable to control your own emotions and you expect other people to do it for you.

I won't.

Leftists, always trying to control other people's speech.

Now, despite your attempt to completely derail this thread into another of your pointless racist rabbit holes, we can get back to orthopedics.

Funny.
I am not sure, but I think I may still have a picture somewhere of theBDub and myself together when he visited wife & I about 10 years ago.

We are definitely not the same person.

So you're related to him. The image 2_1 with him and the college aged grand niece, they look like twins. Brother and sister or cousins. Head shape, nose posture, etc..

Offensive ? How ? To who ? Why ?

Is the term Kung Fu offensive ? Kung Flu is an apt description of this virus. Why is no one offended by the South American variant, or any other variants from other areas named after those areas.

You may or may not care, but the terms "Wuhan Virus" and "China Virus" are also said to be offensive. Technically, we can not even call it Covid, as Covid already existed before this Kung Flu variant.

Resulted in a dramatic rise in violence against Asian Americans ? Do you like every picture that is painted for you, believe everything you hear ? I don't buy it. Do you think I have more aspersions against Asians, American or not, because of this virus ? Do you know who does have more aspersions against the Asian POC ? Other POC.

My next door neighbor, a Fillipino, uses the term Kung Flu. Would you have me call the virus the oriental virus ?

Thank you Marc, ! My bone was not scraped on each end. That would happen if they separated them.

And I'm still not convinced he isnt a creation made up by maryjane. He completely aligns with some facets politically. The alter ego people don't let out unless under anonymity.

The Kung Flu comment was an intentional trigger post.

Is there evidence of this? Also "similar things" or this?
Words we should stop saying then you'd say?
