When you say "not nearly enough independent research", do you say that because you've looked at all the independent research and the massive pile only reaches the second story of your house, or do you say that because you've not actually looked up how much "independent research" there actually is?

If that's what you're worried about, then I can set your mind at ease - nearly everything you think you know about Monsanto and GMO's is a fabrication by the Food Babe's precursors in the food-scare industry.

My now-months-old recollection is that he'd stated something to the effect of attesting "I consent to everything." Something written, I had thought. Maybe that's now known to be incorrect. The specific point I'm arguing is that "everything", by definition and practice, includes sexual content. (Indeed if, as a stunt,…

You're not supposed to be doing this.

Unlike in the MotoRex situation – where the importer had attempted to go through legal means, but eventually diverted – these people were intentionally skirting the laws in a very obvious manner.

I never said "deafening a child who could hear", moron. Try accusing me of things i've actually done next time.

Is it that it's taken as fact? Or is it that there's actually a substantial body of evidence required before we consider it fair to punish a person accused of a crime?

You take full responsibility as the leader of the company.

I'm not from Missouri, but I lived there for a while and once drove to New Orleans down i55, which is why I'm able to tell you that Missouri and Mississippi are literally no more than 80 miles apart. Well, no, I misspoke. I'm actually able to tell you that because of a little thing here up North that we call "maps",…

But I just don't get why this story is dripping with such hate for people from the Midwest.

Her own issues are just as serious as those of her friend's— unlike her friend, she has chosen to take positive steps to recover from her disorder.

That's pretty rich. Is anybody real to you, except you?

the one person who had to jump onto this thread and be a total dick to someone asking for help.

Right, statements like "I care about you, and I'd like to help you get better", not "I'm having a problem with you, do you think you could grapple with your eating disorder somewhere else because it's really harshing my vibe."

No, they're dealing with the made-up problem of being "triggered", which is really just an incredibly self-involved way of saying "I don't like what you're doing/saying/being right now, but I'm going to promote my opinion to a medical problem, because then you have to respect it."

Wow, three whole conversations that were all about you and your reactions to the eating disorder she's facing. I'm amazed that didn't cure her immediately. But, yeah, it's absolutely true that "if someone is not ready to get help, there is really nothing you can do to make them", so there's really no point in…

Because then they'd have to put Whole Foods out of business, and Michael Pollen would go to jail.

Wow. That's just... wow.

I guess the question is whether there's a legitimate social interest in prosecuting the harm done by someone who threatens to kill you, but won't ever. (A non-credible threat, in other words.)

You mean "Will and Grace"?
