Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

Get off your soapbox. Most, if not all, of us here think the anti-vac crowd are full of shit, but how is bringing up the topic here going to help matters? Reading the interview it doesn't even seem like Bialik is touting a book or any other promotional item (a boycott of which you might possibly be able to argue as…

I'm sorry if it seems I'm having a go at you because you clearly mean well and I agree with your overall argument, but I don't see why we can't just focus this feature to the discussion at hand which primarily relates to veganism as per the by-line. I just feel all the anti-vac stuff, which wasn't brought up by…

I've been on the poverty-line and I've been a vegan for fifteen years. I also suspect I could beat 90% of the posters here in a race or an arm wrestle, but you carry out propagating your small-minded, smug meat-eaters are better BS if it makes you feel superior.

Except she doesn't mention anti-vaccination once in her interview, and none of us would be any the wiser about her f'd up views on the subject if it wasn't for the likes of you and a couple of others sharing this unrelated information here. Unless you're trying to suggest that everything else Bialik has said in this…

We all know plenty of self-important, smug and condescending fathers too. Don't single out women.

Seems like an ad hominem attack to me. I'm willing to believe she earned her PhD fair and square (I have no reason to suspect otherwise), just as I trust her opinions about veganism. Her messed up opinions about vaccinations doesn't invalidate her PhD, and her PhD doesn't provide any credibility to her messed up…

Sure, and I wasn't arguing with you on this point, merely providing an adjunct.
There are assholes in any group, and I've met more than my fair share of vegan assholes. They don't give me such a hard time because I'm 'one of the tribe' but I try to stick it to them whenever they start their sanctimonious smug…

But she's not speaking out about anti-vac here. Therefore, it's irrelevant, unless one is suggesting she shouldn't be able to make sensible comments on other issues.

You're an idiot. What has veganism got to do with being anti-vac, and why would a 'vegan celebrity' be any more prone to stupid ideas than a 'non-vegan celebrity'? Please watch your prejudice.

'Time is mostly devoted to being Jewish'? What? How is that anymore time-consuming than being a Muslim or being an atheist, or if you meant 'ethnically Jewish', being a gentile?

Nothing about Anti-vaccination here. This is about Veganism. Stick to the topic.

There are highly qualified people that support all sorts of dodgy causes. There are doctors that propagate Creationism for goodness sake. Academic ability doesn't always go hand-in-hand with common sense or wisdom. By all means thoroughly criticise anyone who publicly supports anti-vaccination but ad hominem…

People who force their lifestyles on others are assholes by nature, but one doesn't have to be a vegan to do that.

The anti-vaccination movement is disgusting but why are we even talking about it on a column about veganism? Next thing people will be trotting out the old 'veganism must be wrong 'cos Hitler didn't eat meat and dairy products' cliché. Basically anything that makes vegans look bad.

Why are vegans 'crazy'? They're 'crazy' for making their own choices about what foods they prefer to eat? Wow! Lock me up! I must be a dangerous psychopath, right?

I think you can probably do both. It's certainly not a scathing film by any means, but conversely, I don't think we're meant to hold these characters in very high-esteem and not all of them are as bright or as witty as they may think they are. Quite a few of them are actually quite dull and self-absorbed, and the…

I generally see the whole debutante scene as a consolidation of privilege reserved exclusively for people at the top of a social hierarchy so I'd imagine that Black-American debutantes are only treated with much social reverence within the black community, if that makes any sense.

Is the debutante scene still very much a WASP thing?

Did you know them or you were just in the same neighbourhood as them?
