Question by wethefolks14: Is our judicial sytem fair?
If so how? If not, then why no outcry?

Best answer:

Answer by eldude
It’s not fair. There are lots of things that play into ‘justice’ including race and income. Both of those things are both used for and against people of all walks. It’s weird and inconsistent. It’s not perfect but it’s not bad I think. There are lots of checks and balances in the justice system to help people avoid being screwed over by the system. But still, people get screwed often.
Justice is not blind though when it should be.

Answer by rickinnocal
Pretty much, yes.

There are problems, but on the whole it’s mostly fair.

Question by Beatby: liver cancer – has anyone successfully used a treatment called enhanced zeolite?
I have read so much about alternative treatments and really need to know if anyone has tried successfully to reduce large tumours?
What a poor first answer, no need for the thick sarcasm or ‘smart’ remarks,..I don’t need a biology lesson, I simply asked for anyone who had used this treatment, fortunately you don’t need to ask such questions.

Best answer:

Answer by IplayadoconTV
Do you even know what zeolite is? It’s CLAY! So you
think you can defeat LIVER CANCER by eating DIRT!
Go ahead, it can’t hurt. Make sure all your affairs are
in order.

Answer by Animal girl
I hesitate to even answer this, because this is a detox, and not a cure for cancer or tumors.

Liver cancer is a bad one, and rarely a cure, but it certainly would not hurt in conjunction with conventional treatment to also use alternative treatment – what could hurt?

Good luck!
