    I know she's a fraud and I know you hate women, but calling her a whore isn't necessary.

    Sigh. Sometimes I wish homosexuals such as yourself could just accept it instead of shitting on women.

    If I were a homosexual I doubt she would have sucked enough dick to have more resources than me. The fact is she has no skills, no product and a bunch of bullshit. Logically the only conclusion is she got that vast wealth from sex-starved nerds by taking a lot of dick, she has no actual skills so there is no other explanation for it. If using the term "whore" in this context were a knock on all women as you suggest it would not be logically sound as for it to be so all women would have vastly more wealth than me. The whore is a whore, all women aren't whores.

    It's possible this is an Enron type scam, but I think it's more likely that Holmes kept thinking they were on the verge of the big breakthrough, and was able to sell that to lots of investors who should've done more homework. It's like Curt Schilling with 38 Studios, the video game maker that convinced the state of Rhode Island to cosign $75 million in loans in exchange for relocating there and hiring hundreds of engineers.

    Nope, she gave people fake healthcare information leading to misinformed self-care while promoting self-care based on that bad data. She's probably responsible for more deaths than anyone could even accurately account for along with everyone else at that sham of a company.

  6. So, what's stopping you ? You can start with the IPCC reports and all of its references to supporting literature. You can download source code of the models, and raw temperature data. If you don't believe in consensus, that's your right, but don't claim there's no evidence provided, and that it's all based on trust.

    Every time someone has done that without political bias they've found holes in the research on this subject.

    Do you have any evidence that GMO is dangerous to those who consume them?

    Examples of things that have harmed people after 5, 10, 20, 50 or generations away from their use exist throughout Human history. Lack of proven danger over such a finite span of time is not an argument by any stretch of the imagination. This on top of the fact every single GMO change is distinct. Go ahead and think about that a moment, consider just how many GMO products are out there, the average lifecycle for new changes in any given product line and the basic fact that any artificial adjustment to genes may produce adverse results that don't even manifest themselves for generations. You can fly blind if you like, don't presume to believe you have the right to force that on everyone, especially those of us with experience in synthetic biology. Let the developing world test it, they need the surpluses of food.

    It sounds like this article is mixing up “smart people” with “introverts.” What about the really smart extraverts? Richard Feynman was very extraverted, he had lots of friends, hung around with them a lot, and was very successful.

    Introverts can act in a not-introverted manner. Feynman's bongo obsession should be enough to confirm him as an introverted autist that got placed in a lot of social situations. From the FBI files on Feynman:

    ...the appointee's wife was granted a divorce from him because of appointee's constantly working calculus problems in his head as soon as awake, while driving car, sitting in living room, and so forth, and that his one hobby was playing his African drums. His ex-wife reportedly testified that on several occasions when she unwittingly disturbed either his calculus or his drums he flew into a violent rage, during which time he attacked her, threw pieces of bric-a-brac about and smashed the furniture.

    A lot of people opposing these laws do so because these laws are promoting ignorance and stupidity.

    Question for you: do you know how GMO foods are made? I'll give you a hint: we don't actually have genetic engineering cracked, it's "copy this from this thing into this other thing, did it do something that looks right for a finite subset of tests?" There is absolutely good reason to label GMO foods, people need to be every bit as informed as if they had a surgeon about to perform heart surgery on them that just roughly knows what location of the body the heart is in.

  13. Re:Interesting spin because it's Vermont on Tiny Vermont Brings Food Industry To Its Knees On GMO Labels (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    No, it's not being done in Vermont. The Vermont statute controls foods produced elsewhere and sold in Vermont: it's a major interstate commerce demand, and will add its burden to a broad swath of folk who couldn't vote in that state. Sadly, it's probably enforceable: state liquor laws have long created similar schisms, which is why a favorite pastime of yesteryear was to load up a few cases of a favorite beer from state A to take home to state B. So, I wonder how long it will take to certify non-GMO status for pepper from India? Coffee from Brazil? Will stocks of unlabeled seed from before the law came into effect be presumed GMO untill proven otherwise? Will liars prosper, or will false claims actually be investigated? How? I think the law reeks. What information I would like to have, won't be on the label. And learning that the poppy seeds in my salad dressing were genetically modified... is worthless, a waste of ink and paper.

    I disagree and so do others. Thankfully this isn't an instance where you get to push your insane ideas on others (and in their bodies.)
