    Drugs were needed to open the individual enough to be social. Are they really socializing though, i.e., making meaningful connections. Most hippies almost don't recognize any/differences between the people they interact with. Is that really socializing?

    Ever meet an ex-hippie? They'll either close way back up again or they'll finally be in/a place where the fear of opening up isn't there anymore. Just/think of how sad it is that saying "i love you" is almost taboo in most societies and cultures.

    Depends if you're using laymen's terms. A properly socialized individual doesn't require drugs to 'be social'.

    There are studies both with rats and humans that point this out. I'm just mentionning my experience because even having read the studies I didn't quite believe it.

    I remember when doing addiction research I treated my rats so well and allowed them time for social interaction, just because that's the way I am and I couldn't stand the way other researchers treated their animals.

    The problem with this? I could NOT get the rats to self administer any drugs.

    That really doesn't matter when you're slicing brains to map out pathways, however it is telling us something more important. Social animals that socialize don't take drugs.

    I should clarify my previous comment further.

    Humans test boundaries. It isn't malicious, at least in the beginning. If you don't maintain your boundaries people lose respect for you. Doesn't matter the sex. How we test boundaries generally does divide by gender.

    If you're talking US beef I think everybody would be happy if it didn't taste like that.

    lamb is only expensive because the US doesn't really raise any.

    Soaking beans 3 days and they're probably fermenting and you get another problem. The key with beans and such is to remove mother natures protective coating. Soak 12-24 so the beans awake from slumber, shed phytates, and begin converting sugars to a more bio-available form. Then rinse, rinse, rinse, or else the soaking was for naught. Beware the bubbles and scum of fermentation. I cook my beans till they develop sweetness, that's how you tell how converted the carbs are. Refried beans or bean soup is the best. Most carnivores aren't used to fiber, especially when it'll plump up 2-10 times. The answer is to pre-expand those starches, hence the frying, splitting the beans and adding water.

    Yogurt doesn't survive the stomach and while acidophilous might balance out your flora it doesn't really help with beans.

    Please note, I'm only providing info, not trying to change you or anybody. At the very least the US should learn the difference between quantity and quality.

    I'm guessing you're fairly lean, tight stomach, used to be very active, may still be, but less so, fairly agressive, straightforward, charming in person(like a psychopath;not an insult), and a bit of an adrenaline junky, and reacts easily to temperature fluctuations? I guess you could be a fat texan, but that wouldn't make much sense.

    Why the answer is extremely simple. You ask what support they would provide if the flash fails. Then you use your discretion.

    Logic would dictate that if the piece is no longer functioning as desired you flash anyways as replacement is inevitable.

    In other words, stop being a whingey bitch, recognise the inevitable, make informed decisions, and accept responsibility for them.

    True. I'd probably buy beef more often (a few times a year) if it was raised in a sustainable manner. To be honest, most of the beef in the US tastes like ass and I often wonder why the hell they eat so much of it. I ate a hell of a lot more when in nicaragua and mexico. Poor people who have no choice but to raise grass fed beef without hormones and crap raise some of the most tastiest beef around.

    Or we could all become Indian. Never met a curry that tasted better with cow than any other protein source.

    Are you daft? There are other less polluting animals to eat than cows.

    As an aside, most people don't know how to cook beans, lentils, legumes, etc... and second you have to eat them a while before your intestinal flora adjust.

    Why the hell would I worry about you? I worry about what people with diets like you are doing to our planet.
