animal ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-ml) A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure.
About 60% of this definition applies to bacteria. None of it to plants. What plants and bacteria share are a similiar cell wall. As for Text books, I'm aware that they are not stricktly animals but they also not plants. The prokaryote group encompasses far far more diversity then the eukaryote group. I am a University graduate, I took genetics and biology. The kindom classification is very very subjective. There are bacteria which would satisfy all of the Dictionary definitions for beign an animal. In a way your right, according to the classic definition Bacteria aren't "animals" however I was just tryign to make a point. No matter what you eat somethign suffers for it.
Their prokaryotes. And thier diversity surpases that of the Eukarotes. Some of them do in fact have a nuclei liek stucture. Although the only thing baring most of them from beign animals is the requirement to be multicellular.
Bacteria aren't animals. If you classify life into just plants and animals, they're plants. If you classify life into more kingdoms, they're Prokaryotes, or other scentific gibberish.
Bacteria are enither. Their prokaryotes, while animals and plants are eukaryotes. However they exhibit many of the features that animals exhibit. They move, they eat other organisms, they lack chlorofil (most of them) and excrete waste products. They are not plants.
My parents are immigrants from china who do not speak english well. They have put me and my sister through university. They average 60hours a week at work to feed and cloth us. They don't spend on themselves at all. They made an avaerage of $8 an hour of money adjusted for inflation for that whoel period. Together they barely scrap togetehr 40k a year which according to our government makes us below the poverty line. We have never been on social assitance.
It's easy when you have options. much harder when you have no options. And I will save up before I have kids because I have the option. I know teen moms who don't. Bad planning? yes. But telling them that won't make thier lives any easier. Also Univerisyt if Expensive here (5k a year tuition anothe rk for books) but is sick in the states (20k/ year + 1 k in books). You need a second morgatge for your kids education.
I have good credit. Thus If I over draft on my checking account the banks will cover me for that amount, up to 1,500 extra. Also, my banks will also cover any check I deposit for an amoutn of 5000, so when I deposit a check I can access the money right away, even though it's actually help for 5 days, the bank extstends me the credit to cover the checks.
What's their limit on "cash for the weekend?" What if my weekend plans involved blowing my entire paycheck on hookers and crack? Or spending the whole time in a casino playing high-stakes poker?
Well if thats yoru idea of a good tiem, I have a vacation package to sell you. 2 weeks airfare included. Accomadations at a seaside beach house in th philipines. All the umm.. company you want, good food. Did I mention beach.
Unless the kid is driving with a gun to the parent's head, blame the parent. Any parent who does whatever their kids want just to keep them quiet is a bad parent. Kids do not KNOW what is good for them, because they are kids and don't have the experience or the rational thinking skills. That's why parents make their kids' decisions for them. Allowing kids to do whatever they want just to keep them quiet is a recipe for disaster. The stereotypical kid you see on commercials, wild and rowdy and only calm when they get product x, just feeds into this mindset that kids should get a say and it matters what kids think. You should always listen to your kids, and let them make choices that are appropriate for them to make, but you shouldn't let them dictate to you what and where they eat. Do this thing called 'parenting' and you won't end up with 400lb tv-addicted ignorant kids. Or, foist that responsibility off on everyone else, and stop bitching about how your kids turned out.
Have you raised many kids lately? It's easy to say it harder to do it. My parents did a fair job with my little brother but he still whines and moans. Even though we rarely give in. However due to time contraints of having to work more then full time my parents have given in once in a whiel and also feel bad soemtiems when they don't. It's not so easy. You can only be a parent part time due to the economic realities that this society enforces. We all must be dual income households. We all must work 40+ hours a week. Some work more to better the lfie of their children.
Take a slab of Tofu (hard kind, low water content) slap some south western spice on it,dice it up with soem herbs, deep fry the bits. Mash this fried tofu in with some wetter tofu color with soy sauce. Make a patti. Fry on a pan until it's appropriatly brown. It'll taste as god or better then a McGarbage burger. Depending on how you put the burger together.
ANGRY WHEN PEOPLE ACCUSE ME OF KILLING ANIMALS SO I CAN EAT THEM
You kill a few hundred thousand bacteria (animals) everyday and digest them for some nutrients you don't normally recive in yoru diet. Same thing happens in yoru colon with the E. coli there when they die. Up until recently those french fries had beef broth in them. So yeah. He's was right btu not for obvious reasons.
It's less about content and more about quantity. North Americans eat portions that they should not. And they get used to it so only that much will fill them mentally while they need 1/3 that to fill them biologically. Vegetarians lose weight because no matter how much Lettuce and fruit you eat, you inevitably eat less calories.
When I went to the philipines, each meal I had at any place I went to was just about the right size. My drinks were about a cup of pop not the 3 cups you get in a medium or even the 2 cups of pop in every can.
Thats why the French can eat Fat wrapped Fat with a melted fat dip and extra fat on the side, because it's in a small enough portion that it's not going to kill them.
Just being vegetarian doesn't make you a healthy eater. A lot of vegetarians (especially the teenage girl kind) don't eat the right things and end up with malnutrition. Pure Vegans suffer from this the most whent hey start.
Though even a misguided Vegan will be more healthy then a McConsumer.
Those are 9 and 10 year olds, but its the parents who buy the food. How many parents really think that McDonalds is good for you?
My 12 year brother bitches and moans about going to McDonalds. We own a friggin restraunt. My parents are incredible cooks, I myself Cook a lot of different styles of food. He's surrounded by good tasting nutritious food of every kind from Itallian to French to Japanese to our Traditional Chinese. And he still beggs to go to McDoanalds and eat their tastless garbage.
It brings to mind organics food. It's so expensive that only the well off single upper middle class can really afford it. Thus most of us are made to be Monsantos bitch because we can't afford any different.
When was the last time you ate "school food". The stuff is nasty and many kids would rather not eat lunch than to eat that stuff. School cafeterias were losing money and bring in outside food brought back some of that lost revenue. Which is worse kids eating fast food or not eating lunch and spending their money on candy and cokes?
Eating healthy isn't hard. When I was growing up I ate a fairly traditional authetic chinese diet. Then the kids made fun of me for bringing rice and I begged my mom to make me sandwitched to stop the abuse at school. After A few years I came to really hate sandwitches.
How do you people eat those things. Slimy, almost liquid bread with pieces of bland soft meat and random condiments and a few bits of veges most kids pick out. I hear it's not very good for you either, lunch meat is not very nutritious, the bread is high calory and has no nutrients. Still better then Mcdonalds.
Cafeterias should make healthy food like Jamaican Rice and Pea's or Chinese Veges with beef.
Salad isn't nessacarily healthy. A 200 calorie salad + a 900 calorie dressing = not so healthy, plus they put somehting liek deep fried chicken breast on top of that salad for another 400 calories.
(*all value approximate. accurate to within +- 2000 callories).
On the subject of flavor, I've always found Mcdonalds lacked any. Their burgers are fine but I hate their fries. Too wispy and taste like MSG in stick form. Their Chicken nuggets tastes liek bits of cardboard with some batter. Their ice cream (or semi-dairy treat) tatstes liek sugar and lard mixed with some vanilla (problably is).
I ussually wonder down to the local Joey Tomatoes and have a nice burger while I oggle the door girls on the patio and sip a cold glass of whiskey. There's a franchise I can support. Hot girls, Decent Food, alchohol. The $30 tab is the only real problem.
My current GF is not the one I did it to. And the other one, well she knew, and she did some things to get me back. Luckily my current doesn't come here. She's a geek like me but prefers to consume her time on other things, like TV, studing for post grad her entrance exam and what not.
she's also in California while I'm in Edmonton, Canada. So.. suXx0rs for me. well.. no Sux0rs for me. and thats the problem.
I just notice that the same old jokes are getting modded up again and again. So here is something that will make all following slashdot jokes redundant:
in soviet russia, the mouse double clicks you.
1-double click 2-? 3-profit
I wonder how linux would run on a double click.
I for one, welcome our double click over lords.
I am a double click you insensitive clod!
imagine a beowulf cluster of double clicks.
Now RTFA you PHB before the FUD really hits the fan.
But our eyes still serve us well - just as God designed them. We do not need eyes like eagles. Did you click that link and read that article?
Yes I did, and it speculates on reasons. Infering that it somehow protects use from short length light waves. However it does not.
You see it's along these lines of reasoning I think god used Evolution. God isn't interested in perfection only in the intent to be as holy and as good as we can. No man is pefect as no creature is perfect. We all struggle. Evolution is a parrallel to man journey. the presence of god refines us spirtually as it does to all life. Making us fuller more complex as it makes life fuller and more complex. It is said man was made of clay. The primordial ooze was clay. That God sculpted us, and yes God sculpted life through the eons. And at last he made a creation that he felt suitable to call his children and to give them the gift of faith and light.

My family could not when I was growing up. Why? Because we prioritized sending me and my sister to university over buying organic.
Would you want to support a pro-life site that had advertisements for Planned Parenthood? How about a cancer victim support site with cigarette ads?
Oddly, Planned Parent hood in many areas are run by pro-lifers who want to guide women away form abortion.

It's thousand island dressing. With a little tiny amount of extra pickle in it.
I always thought thousand island normally had pickles in it.
I prefer my burgers with Mayo. Yes I do live Canada why do you ask?
