  1. Re:Stop serving nuts on Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone · · Score: 1

    Impossible. I’m allergic to nut-free zones! If I don’t have nuts around me for more than 30 seconds, I grow thrice in size, full of large blisters, become red as a firetruck, and then burst into a huge load of smelly slime and gibs. Full of nut allergens. ;)

    Idiocy kills too. Like the idiocy of doctors insisting on allergies being uncurable and something you got for your life. Thereby destroying millions of people’s lives forever. Just because they are too arrogant to admit, that they just don’t know how to heal it, because they straight out ignore certain facts that they don’t like.

    Protip: Just think about what you are doing differently from what was done some thousands of years ago. Then do a difference analysis. If you have to, try living with a African tribe for a month. But at least stop eating processed crap, stop using tons of chemicals of products that tell you how nice your hair will be, after the product fixes the destructive results of you using it in the first place, breathe clean air, stop taking meds for no reason (being sad is not a reason. and pain is there to tell you to fix what you’re doing wrong!)... you get the drift.

    I don’t say live like that forever. Far from it. I’m saying, give it a try. Just a try. And if it does not change anything, but you changed everything, after six months, then come here, call me the biggest idiot ever and whatnot, and continue your original lifestyle.
    Cause I bet everything that you will notice your allergies just vanish.

    But hey... It’s more convenient to just avoid half your life, live in fear of coming in contact with something all day long, change half your house, mod me down, and ignore everything,... just so you don’t have to change anything in your lifestyle at all... and yet expect to maybe become healthy. Yeah. Wise.

    Wait, why don’t we just give each one his own protective retard bubble (not transparent!).

    Or we don’t and let nature do it’s job, weeding those out who ate so much crap and smelled such nice cleaning agents, body lotions, clothing colors and makeups, that they now can’t survive in a normal environment.

    Or we stop telling people bullshit like “allergies can’t be healed”, when in fact we’re fuckin’ retards who think they are gods... when it is clearly proven that like you can get an allergy, you can be healed from it.
    A friend of mine did exactly that. Stopped eating heated proteins, and some other strongly processed and purified trash... and tadaaa... the next summer, it was gone! Yeah right... it can never be healed. The doctor insisted on that.

    Yet, a person being bad does not equal the book being bad. It can be, it can be correlation, but it is no must at all.

    Critisize the book for what it is. By using ad hominem on someone who in not even the author, you’re only ridiculing yourself. Especially by using the same kind of broad prejudice-filled hatred that Beck himself uses.

    Yeah, mainly German scientists fleeing from the nazis led to your lead in technology.
    Everyone who wasn’t dumb, fled early. Scientists are not dumb. Therefore they fled early and in masses.
    Before that, Germany was the global leader of science and art. And even now we’re still doing very nicely.
    But don’t worry. It will come back.

    Even considering the worst case scenario of the USA falling apart, something will rise from the ashes, and that something will be where you and the scientists will live. You can still call it USA if you want.

    From what a nurse told me, it’s just that the narcotics have a very small area between “doesn’t do anything” and “kills you instantly”. So it’s very hard to get it right.
    Which is why still so many people die in the process!
    Especially older people often simply go crazy from it. And die more often too.

    She told me, from her experience, that whenever you can, avoid full narcosis at any cost! It’s very far from the convenient trick to get around experiencing it. The one deciding on the dose sweats blood and tears because every time, he makes a decision that can kill you.

    They earn money from targeted ads, called AdWords. Which are targeted to very specific groups with the use of that data. Good marketing is cost-effective, because it only costs money for being shown to people who would actually pay for it.
    That’s why the data is valuable, and therefore gives AdWords a value much higher than plain showing ads to everybody.

  16. Re:Sent to prison for Cartoon Porn on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 1

    Of course, someone with a twisted sense of what constitutes child porn could look at my photo collection, see a few tub time photos and declare "Why those kids have no clothes on! Some pervert might get his hands on these (despite the fact that they are a private photo collection) and get sexually excited over naked kids! We must charge the parents with child porn and take the kids away from them! Now! Think of the children!!!"

    My point is, that that guy is the perv. not the parents. :)

    It’s like stripping the clothes of a woman with your eyes. Not. cool.

    I think the core problem here is, that you can’t look into a person’s mind, and determine in what way he looks at a child. Luckily.
    But you can jail him, if he sits at that nude beach, jacking off to a couple of kids playing in the sand. (Although I think that harm there still is minimal. But it’s not remotely cool too.)

    And as long as we still uphold the rule, that as long as someone is not proven guilty, he isn’t... we must conclude, that we can’t punish someone who isn’t proven to do harm.
    (Even if mental harm is a physical reality that can even be measured with brain scans showing pain centers reacting just like with physical harm, sending out painkillers. I got my own experience with that, and read my share of information about it.)

    Unfortunately, that whole mental topic is wayy to complex to handle in this small comment.

    I agree. I did not want to say that it makes no sense to wear clothes. They certainly are a great and useful invention. And I’m no nudist because of the simple facts that it’s uncomfortable, because you either sweat and become greasy, or you freeze.
