  1. Re:Copyright is here to stay. on European Human Rights Court Rejects Pirate Bay Founders' Appeal · · Score: 2

    Actually, there are cases where there is no way to obtain the information even if one was willing to pay.. have a look at movie release schedules, or out of print books, or how tv programs can be delayed for months before being released in another country. It's not nearly as black and white as you'd like to put it.

    Sugar is not fattening? Any calories over what your body immediately needs is converted to fat. Sugar, fat, carbohydrates, protein, if it has calories, it can become fat.

    Try pointing your finger in the right direction, it's the fault of your severely litigious country, not the government. Malpractice insurance is very very expensive.

    A somewhat on topic first post?

    That's fairly new.

  5. Re:Too bad, only a few humans have evolved too. on New Research Sheds Light On the Evolution of Dogs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    None of these problems are the dog's fault, they're just not trained or housebroken. My dog doesn't bark, chase, or shit in the house, and when he does outside, I always have bags to pick it up. You need to be annoyed with the masters, not the servants.

    That ain't flu you wuss.

    Flu will kick your ass for a few days, and when it finally passes, you'll be wrung out and without energy for at least that same amount of days again. Flu means thoughts like "kill me" seem reasonable, and getting up to go to the bathroom seems like a 10 mile hike up K2.

    That's the flu, what you had was just a cold.

    The right to a trial with a jury of my peers, the right to be charged with a crime in order to be held in prison. The right to a trial before having your personal belongings forfeited. The right to privacy, the right to protest, the right bear arms, the right to free speech, the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness?

    That enough for you?

    While I can completely understand not wanting to eat animals that have been raised and killed, or even just killed for food, I still balk at the whole non-exploitation of the animals thing, especially bees. It's fine to exploit them to fertilize the fruit we eat, but as soon as we take some of their honey that's over the line? Filling your bucket with milk doesn't mean a calf will die, or even go hungry..

    I just think that veganism is a step too far, and an awfully one arbitrary at that.

    I think he was making a point about the voting a straight party ticket, similar to the communist country votes, where you could only vote for one person/party. If you're just running down the line voting for one party, you're not doing democracy right.

    1. Roundup kills plants, and is full of phosphates. Your kidneys would be in a very very bad state.
    2. Natural fungicides are available, and most grain is tested for this sort of thing. Nobody uses antibiotics on plants crops, and the only regular bacterial infections from "organic" food come from e.coli infections due to the use of uncomposted manures, any responsible farmer uses dried and if possible composted manure.
    3. They're only more energy intensive if you ignore the energy expended in the creation of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is a bit more land intensive, but seeing as a good part of US arable land is unused (farmers paid not to grow corn for example) it's not a huge issue, labor yes... large animals are not required, you can grow organically without the use of any manures, or manure from smaller animals like goats, rabbits, ducks, or chickens.
