  1. First they have to realize that practically everything they are taught in school is a lie.
    Then they have to accept that fact, which the vast majority of people are incapable of.
    The government has nearly mastered the art of brainwashing children in schools.

    Exactly, cats, dogs, humans, none of these evolved to eat grains, but the recommended food for all three is almost entirely made of grains.

  3. Bribery or incredible stupidity must be involved.

    Copious amounts of both are involved at all levels of government, but I'm leaning toward bribery considering we have a a vast amount of historical evidence that it has been happening for decades in hundreds of governments.

    That's why corporate charters were highly restricted when the US was first formed. The founding fathers knew what corporations could become, so they made it as hard as possible to incorporate and very easy to disband a corporation. Unfortunately this changed over the next couple hundred years to the point a person can become a one person corporation by simply paying a fee and it is almost impossible to disband a corporation.

    No, there will not be "emergency" autonomous vehicles to take you to the doctor. There will be ambulances just like there are now.

    This idea of autonomous cars being a simple call away within 10 minutes is something only available in a city which does have buses. It will not be available to those who do not live in cities unless you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars and willing to wait for hours.

    Just keep telling yourself that. After all, the more you say it the more you believe it. The rest of us will stick with reality.

  13. You only have to go back a few hundred years for that to be the norm. The majority of children didn't live to a year, so it was actually not uncommon for a child to not be named until it was a year old or so. Also, if it had a deformity, straight to the trash can.

    Simple, women are a protected class and men are considered less than human. It's codified into so many laws it is pathetic.
    Hell, it wasn't until the mid 2000's that it was possible for a man to legally be raped. The statute was written specifically with rape being defined as a man penetrating a woman. It still is written in such a way that it is only considered rape if a man is penetrated. So, a woman can spike your drink, ride you while you are unconscious, punch you in the face a few times for good measure, and record the whole thing, and still she will never be charged with rape. She will likely not even spend a day in jail, and if she gets pregnant from it you are still responsible for child support.

    I'm not saying that this is very common

    It is just as common as men raping women. The statistics are intentionally doctored in addition to men being extremely reluctant to report it, due to the fact that almost all police departments will do nothing more than laugh at them, and possibly threaten them with arrest.

    Damn, I wish I hadn't commented in this thread so I could upvote this.
    Oh, and the only "good reason" that is acceptable is that someone else has already been branded as the father.
    There have been children who were raped who had a child support bill the moment they turned 18. It's fucking disgusting.

    On the other hand women have multiple ways out from being a parent:
    Abortion
    Adoption
    They can simply drop their child off at a church, police station, or fire station

    Hell, they can even murder their baby, claim postpartum depression, and never even spend a day in jail.

    Honestly, I still have some trouble imagining a man having sex with a woman against his will.

  22. Well, he is right on all accounts, about the soy and you being a fucking moron. Do some damn research before you make claims that something is good for you next time.

    Also, if the research was done by the company who sells the item in question it is not trustworthy.
    If the research is funded by the company that sells the item, it is not trustworthy.

  23. I see you are one of the fools that still thinks that fat is bad for you. Here's a reality check for you, that shit was debunked decades ago. That good ol' 7 countries study started as 27 countries until the majority of the data directly contradicted the narrative it was intended create. Then they dropped all the data that didn't fit the predetermined outcome of the study. Funny how that shit works isn't it.

    Wow, that is a whole lot of hatred that millennial has for their elders. It's almost as if they are taking a massive group of people they consider outsiders and projecting everything that inconveniences them and everything they hate upon that group of outsiders. Sounds a lot like this one guy they taught about in history class with an odd mustache who hated everyone who shared a religion with his parents.
