Interesting. So they think it has something to do with the weakening of the intestinal wall? It seems that they are calling it a “wheat sensitivity” and not necessarily a “gluten sensitivity” though. Maybe I read it wrong, but it does not seem that they know exactly that it the gluten in wheat vs. something else that…

From a statistical standpoint, 1% is the very definition of “small.” Which is why I said “small portion” and not “small number.” Language matters.

He’s not being spared the death penalty. He is just being declared incompetent to stand trial, which is not the same as “not guilty” by reason of insanity. He may still have to stand trial at some point, and face the death penalty, if they can get him on the right medications and the right treatment.

Then criticize congress for not putting laws in place that would have prevented it. The only law that applies to mental health illness is one that prevents someone from buying a gun if they were “adjudicated” as mentally defective or committed to a mental institution at some point. From my understanding, prior to…

No. There are quite a few studies on the efficacy of a low FODMAP diet, as well as an understanding of why FODMAPs cause reactions in certain people (something lacking with gluten intolerance). Here is just one example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2013698…

Obviously celiac disease is a real thing. But it also effects a very, very small portion of the population. I have no problem with people eating with makes them feel good. But I have yet to see any scientific evidence that “gluten intolerance” (other than celiac disease) is an actual thing. And celiac disease is not…

I didn’t say “laws”, I said “rules.” Like simple rules of a demonstration. I understand their historic difficulty following the laws that they are supposed to uphold.

Right. That was drilled into my head so many times. I can’t believe cops can’t follow the rules.

Exactly. I own guns and have always been in favor of gun control. Hell, I don’t even mind of the government wants to take specific guns that I own away if they deem them too dangerous, so long as they pay me just compensation for it. Responsible gun owners should have no problem with gun regulations. Edit - forgot to…

Yeah. Hopefully they can impanel a truly impartial jury in that area. I’m hoping that the snapshot of characters we have seen are not truly representative of that county in Texas.

What she fails to realize is that she had the privilege of being able to call up her high-powered attorney to get him to back off. If she hadn’t, she likely would have been in the same situation as all the other women. Not everyone has access to the resources that Ross had.

Except, the sexual assaults weren’t referred to the police. They allegations of abuse were ignored and actively covered up by the school. Which is why the school has been sued and the people are getting money. You may personally believe the victims should not get a dime, but remember that they were vulnerable children…

Exactly. Moving up worked so well for them.

Trust me. Those of us in states that do not have Division I football or basketball know. We really know. We hear it all the time. We too enjoy watching Division I football and basketball.

Well if the five consecutive NCAA football champions, past few years of ESPN GameDay coverage, and Carson Wentz going number 2 in the draft wasn’t enough to bring them on the radar, then I don’t know what was. The problem is that they think they are more important and special than they are. Maybe they should move up a…

We have become a nation of blame instead of solutions. There’s no better example of that than the current political situation.

Why can’t we just work towards fixing issues instead of trying to blame different generations for them?

Who is funding all these studies on how horrible millennials are? Every week there’s another study about what we are doing wrong. Can we please divert that money into paying back my student loans?

Oh a rich white girl would not allow herself to be sexually harassed at work? Could it be because she is the person typically in power and does not actually need a job? Wouldn’t it be nice to have the privilege of being able to tell your boss to screw off if he is sexually harassing you? This family is so out of touch…

It’s not a business or republican perspective with Kaine. It’s religious. I have no problem with his personal religious beliefs, but he needs to govern according to the law and constitution.
