some of the funnier, more endearing, violent, gory, thought inducing movies come from the third world. I blame Hollywood and other large corporations for the product that said corporations put out. The third world didn't put a gun to the people putting out shit movies to make them put out shit movies. I am just surprised people go to the movies at all anymore given the exorbitant ticket prices, low quality product, and passive entertainment options available (netflix, amazon prime, hulu, youtube, etc).
I wasn't there but as a kid (and now as an adult), I know that pissing in a bottle wouldn't have been my first choice for bladder relief. My guess is that the controlling SOB teacher would not let the student go to the bathroom to relieve himself (had to be a him, this is too tough for most females without a funnel at hand). So the student took the only rather embarrassing option available, pissing in a bottle. Schools are rather inhuman in that normal human beings have to ask for permission for such basic human needs as bathroom breaks and drinking of water.
in fairness, the parent poster never said the parents don't care: "They don't have the time nor the inclination to get involved..." Agreed that parents having to work those kinds of hours is a societal problem. I was sort of raised that way, ended up ok, maybe it had something to do with having an adequate number of brain cells.
1) You had a pretty good response going but you had to go and put a link. To an article copyright the "The American Society For Nutrition", whose sustaining partners include: The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Nestle Nutrition Institute, McDonalds, The Sugar Association Inc, Unilever North America, Kraft Food Groups, et al. https://www.nutrition.org/our-members/corporate-members/our-sustaining-members/ I'm thinking that the science produced by researchers which they sponsor is going to be just a tad bit biased, don't you?
2,3) I've seen all kinds of teeth on different breeds of modern dogs, are you saying that a chihuahua's teeth are the same as those of a pit bull or rottweiler? Yes, they have molars ( I was mistaken in thinking they didn't), here's what they're for: http://dogs.lovetoknow.com/wiki/A_Dog's_Teeth Molars handle the heavy duty work of a dog's teeth, breaking down larger hard items like bones, large kibble or dog biscuits. Every adult dog has ten molars just behind the premolars; two on each side of the top jaw and three on each side of the lower jaw.
4) An animal dying of starvation, illness, or exposure is natural, similarly dying from parasites, that's the way life is supposed to work, generally that is referred to as nature. Wolves didn't "ate raw meat" wolves eat raw meat and they will continue to do so until we idiot humans finally exterminate the last of them. I don't have a dog, I have a cat. I got and keep the cat because it kills and eats rats and mice and the odd bird now and again. I got it to protect the avocado and other fruit trees. It is extremely healthy, agile(thus its nice kill rate), and relaxed. I feed it of course because I think there aren't enough rodents to keep it full.
5.) I completely agree that supermarket meat is an abomination that is why I only typically buy soap there. Occasionally I'll buy the odd organic vegetable too but mostly I shop at farmers markets. My meat I buy online or from local sources which provide grass fed and finished animals, beef, pork, lamb...
What kind of cat do you have? If my cat goes apeshit* on anything, it is usually smaller than it and it will usually end up as his dinner, breakfast, or lunch. What I am getting at is that bird on the screen would have ended badly for the screen if my cat had any interest whatsoever in it.
* goes apeshit meaning: sits and patiently watches it until it is within leaping/striking distance whereupon it soon has the spark of life separated from its warm flesh.
cooked meat for an animal? That is silly. I am fairly certain that their closest relatives, wolves, and hyenas do not drag carcasses to the nearest fire and wait until it is cooked just right before chowing down. I also think they aren't too often caught raiding farms for carrots and zucchini. Do you mean that they are functionally omnivores because their idiot owners and veterinarians are all swayed by the dog food manufacturers? They are not the superspecialized carnivores that cats are (which you pointed out) and yes they can eat all kinds of stuff and still live but I don't think they are truly omnivores, do they have molars? Here's a link for you from a lazy google search of "dog teeth" http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/pregastric/dogpage.html
LOL, jewish. Good one. I think the Palestinians may be a tad wont to disagree as is most of the world with the notable exceptions of the UK and US as well as dependent countries.
perhaps in economist-land with actual market jobs producing actual goods for commercial companies. Maybe.
However, these are tax dollar jobs, where each dollar spent is equal to a $1.50 drag on the economy. The least we should do with such spending is to have American nationals receive it. No dollars spent by any US Governmental entity (National, State, City, etc) should go to a foreign entity or subsidiary. What is wrong with a little protectionism? It is working great for China isn't it?
I agree with you, the only thing that makes it weirder is that IT computer admins have always been computer admins to me and now seeing "administrative assistants" being called admins just makes it confusing. The first time I was introduced to the new brand of "admin" I was like, she's not dressed like a computer admin, more like a secretary and yeah, she was a rebranded "administrative assistant".
I've never heard of a sysadmin being called a "Systems Engineer", "Systems Engineers" are an entirely different thing than a sysadmin, which were I work are the guys that keep our computers and networks going. A weird thing at my workplace is that what were formerly called secretaries are now "Admins".
You missed entirely the bulk of the article: terrible customer service and a decayed reputation, hollowing out the company and abusing remaining employees, downgrading bulk of work to IBM India employees, etc. Did you read the article or just go to his Bio page?
because then it will to paralysis by analysis (no pun intended). Besides, the guy is a hacker and not a PR firm and is more interested in helping out this person than researching all the possible disabilities and nuances therein that could occur to any person imaginable at any stage of their disease. His solution seems general enough to me thought, like the bits and pieces could be assembled differently depending on the case scenario, it didn't seem so to you?
and me without mod points yet again. I agree and have read somewhere that NASA is extremely risk-averse. Especially since they lost a couple of shuttles, what a bunch of posies they are. It takes less balls to be an astronaut nowadays than to be a schoolteacher.
not the current unnaturally high one, you're right. We'd be holding steady at way lower than current population levels and the earth wouldn't be in the shit shape it's in now.
Still is a good thing. Desert cultures have survived quite well without agriculture. We don't all need the GMO grain that you grow on your pesticide-laced impoverished soil to survive. It would definitely be a good thing if only the population which was sustainable in a natural non-petroleum boosted manner existed. How mega-dense could a population become if they were spread out as needed to have enough growing area for food for themselves? I imagine it would be somewhere in the vicinity of about five per acre or so. Doesn't sound too bad to me. What density where you picturing AC?
oh, you mean like a double blind controlled study which is sponsored by a major corporation such as Monsanto or ADM? Do you really think that "actual scientists" get paid to discover the truth when it is contrary to their sponsor's opinions? And if they do, do yo think they publish it? In the age of widespread information, we no longer have to rely on formally vetted "experts". If you won't believe the evidence that a cardiologist with case files for thousands of patients, then who would you believe? Please name these low-fat thriving peoples throughout history, because afaik there are no such. Most of them ate as much fat as they could find be it from grubs, milk, whales, fish, or game animals. So, I will ask for citation, please.
From what little I know, they peck in the feces looking for the grubs of insects which may have laid eggs there. This is why in integrated farming/ranching 3-4 days (as I recall) after cows have mowed a field, the chickens are released into it, so the grubs have have had a chance to hatch and grow a bit but not turn into flies yet. I think the chickens aren't too smart so they search any poop for insects.
However, we are still left with the growing mountain of evidence that animal fat is bad for you (primarily cancer and cardiovascular disease).
Untrue, there is not such mountain of evidence. Such studies never, ever isolate nutrients thus things like eating grains in vast quantities are part of the background and their nefarious effects are not accounted for. Eliminate the grains in your diet, eat fats from animals raised in a natural environment (pastured pork, chicken, beef, etc) and I guarantee your health will improve. I eat probably 15+ avocados a week as they're a great source of fat, also lots of butter, coconut oil and tree nuts. Look at all the fat people around you, they are not gorging on high fat foods, they're living on oatmeal, whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, margarine, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk... They might be eating more meat than in the past but it is leaner and many more calories in the average USian's diet comes from grains than say, 50 years ago.

where was this exactly? Zip code and school names please. Gonna go meet me some single mommies...

I guess that's why it is impossible for a US president to be elected who doesn't first declare his undying love and fealty to Israel.

I'm no geography buff but I'm pretty sure that the Indian subcontinent is not in North America.
