    So how exactly was he supposed to contact his supervisors if the whole operation is corrupt anyway???? This sounds like NSA BS.

    I think it's he should've gone to his superiors so they can quietly shut him up, get of him and sieze all his stuff before he can do any damage to them.

    Your diet is a perpetual thing, not something you do for a little while to lose weight. Eat healthy, be healthy. Drugs and short term adjustments in what you eat aren't going to do shit.

    You're a complete asshole. No, really.

    >food isn't a addictive as heroin

    It's worse, actually. You don't need heroin to live. You need food to live. It's always around. There is no putting it away. There is no removing yourself from the environment that triggers it.

    And that's what you don't effin' get.

    This calvinist shit really has gotten old.

    But hey, you keep going with your preconceived notions about how things "should" work instead of how they do.

    -- BMO

    And you sound like a typical fat guy, wahhh I need food to live and it's all around me but I cant stop shoving it in my face once I've had enough. You don't need to eat constantly the kind of food that gets most advertisement (ie shit food). I eat one square meal a day, because I am not all that active, I'm not fat and have plenty of energy to get through the day. All this crap about 3 full meals a day plus snacks for people that sit on their arse most of the time, only moving to shit, eat or walk to the car is bullshit and people who say your not fat so you wouldn't understand to non fatties and good for you but its not like that for everyone to the people who have been fat and got of their arse and lost some weight are just feeding the problem if you'll excuse the pun.

  15. Re:A fine example of the problem on Diet Drugs Work: Why Won't Doctors Prescribe Them? · · Score: 1

    You must not sleep much.

    Up at 7:15-7:30, out by 8. Home by 7, maybe 8. Gotta be in bed by 11 if I want to get enough sleep.

    That leaves me at most 4 hours of free time to do everything else I need or want to do. Spending 1/4 of that cooking something for dinner and lunch is not acceptable.

    Surely eating is one of those things you need to do in that time? It's your choice if you want to eat good food or shit food, but don't eat shit food and then complain that you got fat.

    Justice should not be an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth. You end up with a lot of blind people and needing a lot of peanut butter.

    There is no way, in any industry to make easy bags of money without the parasites. If your indie mates are in it for the cash they're doing it wrong anyway.

  20. Re:Inevitable inference on Lawsuits Seek To Turn Chimpanzees Into Legal Persons · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that scientists have judged animals as guilty of being unconscious until proven conscious.

    Except that, in this case, chimps have been proven to be conscious. They've been taught sign language, are able to articulate feelings and desires and have shown the ability to understand concepts that are quite sophisticated. They're not at the level of normal humans, but their IQs correspond with moderately-retarded humans who do have legal rights.

    Their lack of legal rights, at this point, cannot be attributed to any lack of proven consciousness. It's specifically their lack of personhood that prevents them from having rights. While that might seem like a synonym for intelligence and consciousness, it isn't currently.

    Pigs are relatively intelligent too. They have demonstrated the ability to count and I think very basic sums. When you see those rows of pig pens in a field or where ever each pig will go back to the same one every night. They may even be able to be taught sign language only they don't have arms or hands, I don't think trotters would work. Should they be considered for personhood too if it's a matter of IQ?

    Nah, WOPR was more intelligent than the average general and therefore decided the code wasn't 00000000 because that would be stupid.

    Dunno about you guys but my bank wont let me set any ridiculously stupid code. Maybe they were going for the hidden in plain sight thing. Who would actually try that. Not like anyone would be in a position to have the thing and guess the codes anyway (you'd hope) but still.
