    inter means between or among. an ICBM travels from one continent to another (between). an SSBM only has a continent at one end. It is kinda nitpicking.

    right. Its bad enough when the first link from google on (a bit of obscure JS/CSS/browser compatability issues) links to a BMEzine forum and you don't realize it until you notice the user icons and signatures. Was a helpful thread though, contained a lot of useful info, and some squicky stuff requiring brain bleach.

    I am an omnivore myself, but you are way off base in arguing that meat is required based on the amount of land available.

    That is only true in a few arctic areas where it stays snowbound 3/4ths of the year.

    Millions and millions of people can live malnourished for decades before they end up dead.

    There are health issues that can be mitigated by reducing meat in the diet, some rare ones that may require eliminating it. But child growth and development is dramatically stunted, leading to serious long term medical problems for children on "vegan" diets.

    Show me one reputable study that claims that a completely vegan diet is healthy from conception, pregnancy, breast feeding and growth through adulthood. There isn't one, but billions of people eat omnivorous diets for their entire lives and have for millions of years.

    Vegetarian? Do you suffer from medical conditions that make eating meat difficult or dangerous for you? An allergy? Heart condition?

    Or are you ignoring your nature as a hunter of prey? All the great apes hunt and kill for food. It is argued that the high density calories in meat allowed humanity sufficient free time and energy to develop culture and technology. We have bifocal color vision. We have canine teeth. We have grasping hands. We are among the worlds greatest endurance runners. We have advanced intelligence capable of planning and tactics. Aside from our endurance and teeth (and these are also predatory features), all those traits are unique to predators. We have evolved for millions of years as omnivorous predators, to eat meat. Why do you hate nature so much to go against that?

    First, it was a joke. Second, even with the "right kind of girl" you never play without her participation. Even then it doesn't seem like it worked out that great for me.

    I had to let two go because they started partying way to hard (coke and other drugs) and the other was the love of my life and she went crazy after 8 years (or she was crazy all along and I just loved her to much to see it until she blew up).

    I don't really go out of my way to find them, crazy bi girls just seem to find me.

    This isn't really the case. Often we face the situation where we can either not get management to allocate time to fix something, or permission to merge an existing fix into the main branch. A lot of bugs are known and developers want to fix them, but can't.
