We have specific political and offshore boards for those topics. Please use those boards.
We are not over-monitoring. We are trying to keep a little bit of order here.
The Main board is very busy with high traffic of other topics. If you want to discuss offshoring or politics, please feel free to but post them on the correct boards.

Thank you.

Posts about political topics go on the Politics board
If you are talking about President Obama's stance, action, statements concerning offshoring - it is political. It goes on the Politics board.
If you are talking about healthcare industries and what Congress, the Senate, the GOP or other leaders are doing or not doing about - it is political. It goes on the Politics board.
Thanks,

No offshore ads or posting are allowed. See message
Per MTStars Administration no offshore posts or ads are allowed. Any ads or posts identified to be from an offshore poster are to be deleted and banned. Discussion of offshoring by US MTs is allowed.
If you are seeing offshoring being promoted on this site, please report to moderators so it can be removed. If you believe a post is posted by an offshore poster, please report to moderators. However, all posts that you believe to be from offshore posters are not. Moderators can see IP addresses so we are able to tell if they are truly offshore. When they are, they are removed.
How is this political? This is a state of living, not bickering political points. Truth hurts...NM

Topics (SM)
If you do not like a particular thread, skip over it. If you want to voice your disagreement or discuss it, etc., then do so respectfully.
If we begin removing threads simply because some are unhappy with the subject matter, then I guarantee that sooner or later your particular subject matter will be the next target.
Everyone has a right to post here within posting guidelines. Simply skip over the threads that are of no interest to you. Granted, many controversial subjects are posted sometimes and if it is too sensitive of an issue for you, just don't read.
No one is required to read any or every post, nor reply to any or every post. Use good judgement for your postings.
Thank you,

Inane topics
I am have done medical transcription for 25 years -- and frankly I thorougly DISGUSTED with the "ME AND ONLY ME ATTIUDE" on this board -- POOR babies in California whine cause they cant make a living -- know what? change your life -- I have managed to stay off this board work a life and help a fellow MT out who is trying to help other MTs wity Katrina -- I live in Vegas and we have had 1000 evacuess come in -- my first grandbaby is due tomorrow -- I cant be there and I am NOT pissing and moaninng -- MAYBE what we REALLY need to think about is what this country was based upon -- my family goes back to the Revoution on one side -- my mothers family goes back to great uncle who said "Go West Young Man" -- I wear the last name of one of the first men who stepped on the moon -- you know what? NONE of these men said "get your toys" - I dont post but when I see NOTHING BUT me -- its upsetting -- you put the mortgages on at the tune of $100,000 plus "oh I can work at home and have babies and work when I want" -- well with the price of gas etc and the economy going in the toliet -- good luck!!!
The Active Topics page contains
a drop down at the top where you can sort number of days and specific board.
Keep all posts/topics about this on Main, please. NM

Not to flame but every day there's posting after posting about how awful MQ is
Why does anyone still work there?
I don't get it.
You'll see them as they appear. It's not just companies, it's topics of interest
We will be adding constantly to give visitors opportunities to find information that they may be seeking.

Please post MQ topics on the Medquist board.

The main board is used to discuss many different topics. sm
There are many posts on this board that if you were to be really technical about it, should be put on the company board, word board, productivity board, religion board, etc., but they're allowed to stay here and be discussed. If you don't like this topic, then feel free to skip it. But it really isn't a political discussion per se, so it shouldn't have to be taken somewhere else.
All religious topics go on the Religion board. (SM)
Stop now with this or I will delete the whole thread.

Contact me via email with your post topics. NM

If you'd done a little checking on this board, you'd see that all kinds of topics are discusse

It's ok to post most topics here now except for the few boards to the left. Cool, huh?
I've had that cappucino, too, and it's great!
Not to make this political, but...
Next time you vote for the Democrats, please realize that the ACLU has their hands ALL OVER the Democratic party, and the ACLU will fight to the end for the rights of those such as child molesters. Just Google the case about the boy in Massachusetts who was killed by a pedophile who frequented the NAMBLA website, which actually gives tips and information on how to gain access to little boys and actually condones sexual relations between men and boys. While neither political party is perfect, I find the actions of the ACLU more of than not to be unacceptable and I don't want anything to do with them. They used to do good work for the rights of others, they've now swung WAY too far in the other direction to the point of "stupid", especially when it comes to the rights of obvious criminals who would harm our children.
My political views
You need to take my political views with a grain of salt. I really don't know enough about politics to even be on here running my mouth. Furthermore, I don't hate President Bush, I do so enjoy picking on him; but I know he has a very difficult job, and I bet money he is a lot smarter than me.

political? I think this is pertaining to life
I think this turned into whether or not you spank your child not what is happening in the schools/govt.
The posts that were removed were political. (SM)
It started discussion about which President was at fault for what and political views.
Stop jumping to conclusions over a reminder.
Political correctness goes a long way

Not political but re Senator Kennedy's OP:
Wouldn't that have been a great one to transcribe? Not because of who it is, but just due to the type of the surgery he had--open brain surgery with intermittent wakeful testing. I've been an MT for about 27 years, majority in acute care (now clinic--boring), and I absolutely love doing OPs. I really enjoy doing long, complicated, interesting operative reports like I'm sure this one was.
Gruesome? Maybe  , but well wishes to the senator in any case.
I also posted on the political board, but -
I did not refer to Obama or McCain and the political side of it, I am interested more in how it is effecting us in the United States. Everyone else is posting here about their jobs and that is what I am talking about. I don't care about policies right now, I am wondering how every day life is going to change.
And, no, I am not being rude, just explaining myself.
I think she's already there on the political board, being nasty to
anyone who responds to her, for a couple of postings. I don't understand people sometimes.
Just posted on the Political Board
a long rant on this - please refer to that. But also see this website.
It's time to take a stand MTs!

Ahh, your post sounds political
Why not keep the snappy remarks to the other board? I doubt he was the original one to think this up. Get over it.
I'm not the other poster, but speaking of TV and political correctness.
I can't stand those stupid shows where the guys are just big dumb oxen that everyone belittles and puts down. I won't watch the old TV shows where women were portrayed as ignorant either. Especially Archie Bunker. I see no humor in that character. Lately, all the men on TV are gay and the women are all foulmouthed tramps. I pretty much don't watch TV any more. Just because you watch it on TV doesn't mean that's how society truly is, either.
Take the political banter to the Politics board.

Are we discussing talent or political persuasion?
In my unbiased opinion, I say Babs has a better singing voice. I also think she's a good actress. I think Celine is wonderful, as well; I just think Streisand's voice is stronger and a little better.
Sometimes subjects spill over into political issues....
It's not done on purpose, but it happens.
LEGAL & POLITICAL ISSUES, ANALYZING ... SM
and gathering versus just reading ... hmmm. Docs need to analyze their legal & political issues on their own time ... not mine or my family's time ... and get their S*** together before they dictate ... furthermore, when they need to save a few seconds by racing through meds & labs, not only are they compromising patient care and document accuracy, it's just plain laziness & thoughtlessness. Of course, we should all be born to automatically know how to spell another doctor's name just because he/she knows how ... their 2-3 seconds they save in spelling is worth more than a half hour of my time having to research it.

The political people knew what could happen if a hurricane hit New Orleans. sm
after 9/11 they diverted the money for the war. One should not take money from one project to do another. This tragedy didn't make any sense and there are some people on the political board that says its the mayor fault. What a joke.
Let's not turn an innocent poll into a political bantering free for all.
People are allowed to post who they feel a good female role model is, however, if you want to start up political banter, take it to the Politics board.
To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .
A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.
A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.
A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.
A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?
A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.
A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.
CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.
DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.
BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.
A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.
A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.
A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.
A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.
:D
Let me be clear, keywords are NOT just services, there are many keywords on a variety of topics.
Also, because this is a new feature, we are adding keywords daily. For example, we started out with about a dozen, that has grown to about 30 now. It's an ongoing process and it was designed for you, the MTStars visitor.
What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.
