Your holding on to groupthink and importance based on a number intrigues me, especially when you are apt to include "new information" into your world-view. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
*sigh* Why does it always have to be me...? Alright, sentence by sentence, yet again
Have some respect.
Oh, respect? Is that the thing that they used to talk about when they didn't blame the world's problems on one class of people, and instead funded research into ways to fix actual problems instead of imaginary ones?
The Rockefeller Foundation isn't some arm of big oil intent on encouraging petroleum use.
Nobody said they were except for you. Remember when Ford put Schindler's List on NBC without commercials out of the goodness of their heart. I'm sure that was really a donation for the good of humanity instead of being because Henry Ford wrote Nazi literature. The Rockefeller Group, like Ford, is/was just being charitable.
They tend to support the social and medical sciences in addition to crop development for expanding agricultural production worldwide. I tend to support things that actually make a difference instead of trying to tell the world that fat people cause more carbon pollution than cow farts, volcanoes, and getting on the internet spouting useless factoids.
From the summary: 'Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of, food.'
I wonder how many carbon points we're accumulating while we fly rice into Myanmar, a country whose chief export (aside from opium) is rice. How about the food we ship to Africa, the medical supplies, the "war" in Iraq... I mean, I could go on and on. If you think making people less fat is an actual way to fix a problem in the world, I don't think it's my Slashdot UIN that needs turned in (it's too high anyway, they won't take it back) or that it's me who needs random memes parroted back at me.
Way to bandwagon onto the groupthink though, it's impressive. Well... maybe not since you don't realize that biotech work is just bringing us one step closer to having an entire food source wiped out by one virus or bug, and that high corn prices are more a result of ethanol and other biofuels, and that if we somehow got rid of the fat people that food prices would actually RISE because of decreased production.
Next time you want to prove your ignorance, have someone hold your drool cup for you, because I'd hate to see your keyboard get ruined while you typed.
I wonder how many greenhouse gasses were released in the creation of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the webhosting of the LA Times (let alone creation and physical distribution of the papers), or why they accepted 2 million dollars from the Rockefeller foundation. We all know that John D Rockefeller was very green while he was revolutionizing the petroleum industry and founding Standard Oil.
Maybe while the school looks...
To contribute to the improvement of health worldwide through the pursuit of excellence in research, postgraduate teaching and advanced training in national and international public health and tropical medicine, and through informing policy and practice in these areas. ...they should remember where they came from and why they have the buildings they do. Instead of spouting nonsense that will make less people want to visit, they should actually work on something that matters.
That's ok, as long as they follow the three laws of cyborg athletes
1) Thou shalt not beat another human in any competition 2) Thou shalt not use performance enchancing drugs/modchips 3) Thou shalt run Linux unless in conflict with laws 1 or 2
Because, as we all know, the ninth amendment was basically saying that the government cannot stop a person's pursuit of life, liberty, happiness, Macs, DRM-free music and privacy on your Wii. That's pretty obvious. I mean, it's right there people, freedom. That means freedom from DRM music. There's no need to invoke the Fair Use doctrine - it doesn't really apply to stealing music anyway - just saying that the ninth amendment says that everyone is entitled to their privacy is enough. What is more private that stealing music, having a Mac, or being wrong on an internet forum?
So... when you disagree but use a whole paragraph to point out that what you were disagreeing with actually has merit... does that make you sound smart?
Yeah, not watching NBC until September? How much ad revenue you think they're missing out on? Hear that, you light-bulb building bastards? I ain't watchin yer filth! That's right, I'm Viacom's bitch now!
Unless it's Heroes, it's not worth watching anyway. Tell NBC what you think by... oh, I don't know... NOT WATCHING? Just tell NBC that you're "going green," they'll understand.
You know... I saw that a long time ago on one of your posts and thought, "Pfft, what's this jag off trying to do?" But the more I look at it and the more things like this come up (regardless of how funny this instance was), the more I start thinking that you, sir, are a genius.
I guess they should have had security cameras outside the bank to watch her, so that they could blame her for being robbed. She was probably wearing something seductive anyway.
Oh, you have nothing to worry about. The cameras at every store you've ever been to is not there to watch the customer. It's to watch the person at the register, either as they get shot in a robbery or to accuse them of stealing. Ever watch security camera video from a bank or gas station robbery? You can barely see the perp, but there's a great over-the-shoulder shot of the register and the smokes.
We care because I have it on good authority that women often use their Macs after having just come out of the shower, a good workout, being smeared in grits, rolling in Jell-O, bathing in whipped cream, and/or while do a self-breast exam. That's why we care!
You act like you haven't had your domain sqatted on by Jenny's Personal Co-Ed Webcam Sexperience after missing a payment that one time that it happened to me.

Tell me I'm not the only person who saw that and thought Dance Dance Revolution had some kind of new RAM feature. Go on, tell me!
