Politics and religion only tend to unite when the people are in the same building otherwise those feelings become divisive fairly quickly...

I agree I got into a discussion on the seperation of church and state at a bar recently and about how the pledge of alegience mentions god and boy that was not a good topic of discussion..I should have talked about the Phillies game or the hot young US gymnasts..

Yup, I have a blast with a couple of my patients who I know politically have views that are polar opposite of mine. Makes for some fun talk as I reluctantly get them to see my point of view just before I stab them with a needle :eek: ;)

You'd be suprised, since getting into a "politcial discussion" with your dentist is soemthing that very few folks expect, and tend to really enjoy the change from the "classical" boring dentist visit :idea:

Of all the adjectives used to describe dentists; while having someone bore a hole to your brain via your teeth, the term "boring" just doesn't seem to capture the mild-mannered terror you induce. Maybe it's just me.

Me personally, no. If it more accurately portrays what you do, or how you do it, well then sure! :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:

As I LOVE to say to my patient's when they ask me "will this hurt?" depending on my mood at the time, the answer will either be a) "Do you want it to??" ;) or b) "Not me" :eek: :eek:

Ok. I'd now like to revise my answer. Sadistic works just fine! Ever see [SIZE=-1][/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Marathon Man? :-o[/SIZE]
