Thanks

It is irrelevant.

Really? She's not a Nazi?! Shocked, I am. At least, you outed that misogynistic bitch on the bus: "mam, are you aware by not seeing political issues the way I see political issues, you hate not just yourself but all women?". For the record: you're unwilling to assert Reductio ad Hitlerum but you're more than okay with…

Wow, you showed that old lady what is what. Did you call her a Nazi too? Because if she is voting for Palin, she clearly hates Jews too. Maybe, you should go to a retirement home and teach them ignorant sons of bitches about politics: "this is the right person to vote for, old stupid bitch".

Oh, my bad, your narrative about Sarah Palin is way better than the narrative about Michelle Obama. You're so smart.

I love Jezebel:

For argument, I already granted fish feel pain. I think if there is an issue with equivocation it is because some people equivocate human pain with fish pain (see Nagel's bat). But I obviously don't doubt that a fish has a negative "feeling" in reaction to harmful stimuli. I'm just saying that I don't care that it…

I think it would be interesting to do a study on the effect of movies that anthropomorphize animals - think Pixar - on children under the age of 18.

Personally, I find dog fighting repugnant. I wouldn't want to watch a dog suffer, and I find most dogs cute. The key word is "personally". I'm not making a moral claim. Furthermore, to me, it was immoral to put that football player, whose name I'm too lazy to google, in jail for that crime. Therapy? Yes. Jail? No.…

I'm amused by the idea that eating animals "grown" for the purpose of consumption ("only") is somehow ethically superior to eating animals that were not "grown". If I raise dogs for the purpose of consumption, would you be alright with that? Is it okay - because in some Aristotelian sense (which is endlessly amusing…

As a PR issue, they probably should "put the shark out of its misery"; however, as an ethical issue, it's a fish.

The economic issue is that as Chinese people amass more wealth they will naturally consume more of the earth's resources, an environmental issue. So there seems to be three issues here:

Please excuse the six billion people who do not live in the UK for not knowing (nor caring) what people in the UK call a diaper.

It is the main stream scientific consensus that saturated fats increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. There are a smaller number of studies that have shown the opposite. Wiki has a good article breaking that down: [en.wikipedia.org] But I think you're being disingenuous to try assert that it's certain fact that…

I think you might be thinking of trans-fats. All vegetable oils contain saturated fats. There is really no way around that. Even healthy oils, like olive oil and canola oil, have saturated fat. You can't make fries that taste like fries without saturated fats. Trans-fat has been identified as a particularly bad fat…

HIgh protein, low carbohydrate diets are not good for you in the long term. Your body needs carbohydrates to use the protein effectively. The unused protein needs to be eliminated, which adds strain on your liver and kidneys. And the saturated fats will contribute to heart disease. Google "mayo clinic saturated fats".…

Read what I wrote more carefully. The study found that people who consumed less salt (read a diet lower in salt) had a higher chance of dying of heart problems. Not all people react the same way to salt; I believe most people actually aren't "salt sensitive". So it's questionable advice to recommend all people watch…

Well at least one component of fries the salt turns out to not be so bad for you. A group of European researchers recently found that people who had consumed less salt actually had a greater chance of dying of heart disease. Scientific American wrote article about it called: "It's Time to End the War on Salt": [www.sci…

Wrong. Samsung made the UI look like that. It's their picture. It's absolutely irrelevant that you can make it look different. Apple isn't suing because individual users mimicked the look of IOS.

Unfortunately for Samsung, Apple copyrighted that "generic" appearance.
