Clinton and Sanders agree to CNN Brooklyn debate on April 14

[Averroës Nix]

A debate in the Morning??  A NY debate the day before the Wisconsin Primary Opposite of the NCAA Championship game??  Arre they seriously picking times in which the least amount of people will be watching??

Uh, what is wrong with April 14th, a Thursday night debate?

Maybe he has an appointment with his rheumatologist that day.

You and Torie ought to start some kind of joint Clinton/Sanders Death Watch podcast.

Yeah, some of the comments like that I've seen seeing of late are just really really creepy.

WTF are you talking about guys? Since when arthritis and osteoporosis are deadly diseases?

I'm not sure why I feel compelled to point this out, but as both of them are chronic conditions associated with increased mortality, yes, they are "deadly disease."

Rumor mill says that the Thursday (4/14) debate was to be aired at 2 am on NYC public access and filmed on an iPhone in the basement of deli somewhere in Flatbush.

Sorry to say that but you don't know what you're talking about. My mother suffers from both for years and she is as strong as any woman in her 70's can be. And she is far from the only person I know with these conditions that lives a normal and fruitful life.

lmfao, while I am (seriously) glad that your mother is doing well, I can't help laughing at the idea that you'd mention that rather than referring to mortality data or medical literature. Are you that statistically illiterate? Do you not understand how rates and averages work? And why on earth have you gone from trolling about Sanders personal health to arguing about mortality rates for people with bone disease, anyway? What a world we live in.

I happen to work on the health sector and I know pretty well the statistics of both diseases.

OK, then. What's the six-month mortality rate following a hip fracture for people living in Greece?

Or maybe you could, you know, make better jokes? Maybe even ones that aren't repulsive?

You're unhinged man. It's sad that underneath all your wonky exterior lies a little dictator who wants to censor jokes that aren't to his liking.

Far from it; I'm not sure why you're insulting my size, but any right-thinking person should be happy to leave folks like you uncensored. Bad-taste jokes can be a reliable sign of either good character or bad character, depending on their context and tone. If you're not interested this (admittedly pretty silly) meditation on whether your joke was in bad taste, maybe you should not have initiated this equally amusing argument about whether osteoporosis and arthritis are truly "deadly."

By the way, I take it that you're not interested in admitting that you were wrong about bone disease mortality? I'm sure that it's no reflection on your character, even experts make mistakes sometimes.
