A more relevant example would be to include a paragraph about all those times the US has either done the same thing or supported someone who does the same thing. Which is probably more often than it's done something positive.

Nobody's even mentioned the UN and your ignorance of the USA's role in ethnic cleansing, gas attacks and airstrikes essentially proves the original commenter's point. Seriously, the USA has overthrown dozens of democratically elected governments and is complicit in the resultant murder, torture and oppression of…

I think you mean "except an American audience has too many other flaws for football to have a chance."

Just when you start to think the US can be a decent country, you get a painful reminder how horrible it is. Unions are a given. Pretty sure it's actually enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. As is access to healthcare and a reasonable wage.

Yeah. Pretty unpleasant. Their backgrounds were bad, but thousands of people have similar ones and turn out, if not always fine, then at least as passable human beings. You'd expect this kind of thing to be deliberately inculcated from birth. In a way I'm curious to see the details of this case, hopefully it will turn…

Charming. At least they caught them before they managed it.

Your troll sense should be tingling.

There was a similar case in the UK in the '90s and although both of the boys came from troubled families, neither of them were as hellish as you might expect them to be. So it's possible but not necessarily true.

I could be remembering the wrong company. Or they could've changed their policies since the book dates from 1999 anyhow.

And I've already started to forgive him for some of the interminable delays. Right on GRRM.

I read in 'No Logo' about Starbucks doing this years ago. Is this news? There should never have been a get-out for part time workers. Do they not get sick?

This is the one study that has shown anything and it has a number of serious issues.

Whaaaaaaaaaat? No way. That's crazy. Nice one Oscar.

Not really. It's the same title (although the Marquis de Sade was French).

In a historical sense (like in the '50s/'60s), was there ever such a fuss about white man/W.o.c in the same way as there was about a black man and a white woman? Because that was always used as a scandalous "they be stealin' our women!" thing.

I agree. I'm just also fairly sure that the studies will find nothing.

And again, I am overwhelmed by the quantity of evidence you've provided. You're never going to persuade anyone of anything if 1)you don't bother to provide any actual arguments and 2)you consistently act like an asshole.

Apparently they also used the wrong kind of rat; it's a type that is very prone to developing tumours.

Bill Bryson's biography also has a good break down of it, as well as generally covering what we know of his life (which is remarkably little).

If the study is flawed, it hasn't actually shown that they cause tumours in rat. The EPA and the WHO have said that Glyphosate (the pesticide tested) isn't carcinogenic. It first hit the market about 40 years ago and there's been decades of research to show it's safe, as well as a conspicuous lack of 40% of the…
