		<description>&lt;a href="http://www.jesuschristrx.com/"&gt;The Son of God has Prozac and Viagra on sale now.&lt;/a&gt; Why bother with know-it-all pharmacists when you can get prescription drugs from Jesus Himself?  He even sells &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jesuschristrx.com/index.php?product_id=23&amp;language_id=1&quot;&gt;birth control&lt;/a&gt; for only $129.99 a month (loaves and fishes not included.)  &lt;small&gt;via &lt;a href=&quot;http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_patriotboy_archive.html#108613446449967178&quot;&gt;The General&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;</description>

That &lt;i&gt;was&lt;/i&gt; what you meant, right?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;14. Most English translations render the beginning of v. 41 so as to emphasize Jesus&apos; compassion for this poor outcast leper, &quot;moved with compassion/filled with pity.&quot; In doing so, they are following the Greek text found in most of our manuscripts, splagxnisqei\j e)ktei/naj th\n xei=ra au)tou=, &quot;feeling compassion, reaching out his hand.&quot; It is certainly easy to see why compassion might be called for in the situation. We don&apos;t know the precise nature of the man&apos;s disease--many commentators prefer to think of it as a scaly skin disorder rather than the kind of rotting flesh that we commonly associate with leprosy. In any event, he may well have fallen under the injunctions of the Torah that forbad &quot;lepers&quot; of any sort to live normal lives; &lt;strong&gt;they were to be isolated, cut off from the public, considered unclean (Leviticus 13-14). Moved with pity for such a one, Jesus reaches out a tender hand, touches his diseased flesh, and heals him.&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;He even sells birth control for only $129.99 a month&lt;/em&gt;

what the hell... is that an average american price for ortho tri-cyclen...!?   that&apos;s insane, how can people with average incomes afford that every month...?!

(shane just pointed out to me) on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jesuschristrx.com/index.php?pagetype=global&amp;page=aboutus&amp;language_id=1&quot;&gt;about us&lt;/a&gt; page they call themselves &lt;a href=&quot;http://chicagoRX.com&quot;&gt;chicagoRX&lt;/a&gt;...  page has the same basic layout, diff featured items on the front page tho&apos; and a different logo.  weird...</description>

		<description>ha. their &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jesuschristrx.com/index.php?pagetype=global&amp;page=faq&amp;language_id=1&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt; makes me laugh.

i&apos;d bet the most frequently asked question is: wtf is up with the jesuschristrx.com domain?

is it b/c ... jesus christ! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jesuschristrx.com/index.php?product_id=43&amp;language_id=1&quot;&gt;viagra&lt;/a&gt; costs that much?!

on preview: my girlfriend pays about $30 a month for orthotricyclen (i chip in, but she makes so much more money than me!) they don&apos;t mention the domain name anywhere on the site.

and, are you making that baby jesus butt plug thing up, or is there a link i&apos;m missing?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt; All of the medications are incredibly expensive. What gives?&lt;/em&gt;

Any of the pharmacies that are not *real* pharmacies have these insane prices.  Probably because they can.  Now, as to whether you&apos;d ever see the drugs you paid for...that&apos;s another  story entirely.  

That said, do you know how impossible it is to find a legitimate Canadian pharmacy online now?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;10 euros (about $ 12) in socialized-medicine, lame-ass, welfare-loving, freedom-hating Italy&lt;/em&gt;

$6-$10 at canadian planned parenthood locations.

&lt;em&gt;That said, do you know how impossible it is to find a legitimate Canadian pharmacy online now?&lt;/em&gt;

well there&apos;s quite a few actually, but trying to find one that still ships to the usa is pretty much impossible.  the small print on most of them goes something like this:

&lt;small&gt;The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law.&lt;/small&gt;</description>

		<description>I wonder if us compassionate Canucks can work as pharmacy intermediaries.

If an American was to send a prescription and appropriate cash to me, I&apos;d be happy to go down to the drugstore, get the pills, and ship &apos;em off.

Provided I wouldn&apos;t end up in jail.  Or hunted down like a dog by your evil pharmaceutical overlords.</description>
