I just have to say, even the proper use of medication to treat a disease, causes resistant strains. Diseases are around not from a lack of, or abuse of a medication, but more so rather because we have unhealthy people in unhealthy environments. And maybe a lack of genetic diversity and a few other things, but not nearly medication abuse alone.
Yeah. I heard that allegedly the CIA surreptitiously sold phony nuclear secrets to Iran or somewhere but the secrets were authentic looking but intentionally bogus so as to undermine their development efforts.
Yeah right. I don't believe you. Liar liar liar. I had some transfat-free Oreos and they taste the same to me.
P.S. I hear you can make a good sugar substitute by pouring red wine into a lead pan, and evaporating it off. It sure tastes good, but lead salts are poisonous. Darn those government standards of Your health; something KFC doesn't care about.
Great! So now we can only have 60 watt decorative bulbs, or bulbs filled with mercury and lead that are neither bright enough or warm enough to heat my bathroom in the winter or withstand frequent on-off cycles.
This is like when they dumbed science down to "Cholesterol is Evil" so MORE people started getting heart disease from transfats.
Uh, what's wrong with using a mercury-free light in the winter that also gives off heat? That's what I do in my bathroom, and the CFLs aren't suited for the bathroom anyway. Too much moisture, and frequent on/off cycles.
Did you read that link? They suggest the mercury level is so small that it's harmless, and all these bulbs get recycled anyway. That's kind of wishful thinking and stupid. How about the smashed bulb clean-up procedure. Sounds a little HazMat to me:
Paraphrased:
What if I break a fluorescent bulb in my home?
Never use a vacuum, it will mercury-contaminate the area and vacuum. What you should do is: Ventilate the area, reduce the temperature, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, gloves, safety glasses, coveralls or old clothing, dust mask. Carefully remove the larger pieces and place them in a secure closed container. Begin collecting the smaller pieces and dust. Use disposable broom and dustpan, two stiff pieces of paper or one of the many commercial mercury spill kits available, etc.. Put into airtight plastic bag. Pat the area with duct tape. Wipe the area with damp cloth. Put all waste and used materials in a secure container labeled "Universal Waste - broken lamp". Call to determine where to take container for recycling as Universal Wastes.
Remember! Next time: Use drop cloth when changing lamps for easy clean-up, you big dummy.
No, not technically correct. Causation == causation. You establish causation by doing experiments. Using Occam's razor, you narrow down the plausible culprits, then you test those. It's a long process, but through repeated testing and experimentation, you can establish causation. The first step in the process is a correlation though. Because you can't have causation without correlation.
Yeah, and 95% of the time, people get better whatever the doctor says, so they get away with it, looking like an expert. When you don't get better, they just call you a hypochondriac or say you're depressed and prescribe a variety of designer head drugs.
"Miraculin...alters the way humans taste." It makes them taste ethically delicious. Mmm... Brains... Don't you see? The sugar lobby was just protecting us from becoming zombies.
First of all, I'm not sure people can be cold but have the cold sensation reversed, and still function at temperatures that feel uncomfortable. I think there might be an increase in heart failure or something, because everyone's (warm blooded) body/weight/temperature is different.
Second of all, another sugar substitute, Stevia, a sweet and calorie free plant, was banned because the sugar lobby (Neutrasweet) pressured the FDA to ban it. It's currently available if labeled ONLY as a supplement.
Here's a statistic: Your mom. I don't need statistics to tell me common sense things. Especially not when the consequence of drug use is as serious as addiction. You carry the burden of proof here.
The drugs you mention do cause health problems. Even wikipedia and erowid mention that. Of course, within those pages, you'll also find absurd levels of skepticism, much like you're demonstrating here, but you can read the negative experiences in the erowid vault.
People ARE addicted to sex and food. The pleasure centers of the brain compel us to eat and have sex. When you take drugs, you activate the pleasure centers directly, with foreign substances, at unnatural levels, overriding equilibrated desires, which leads to addiction and the neglect of everything else in the pursuit of drugs.
The brain is a sophisticated computer with a delicate balance of neurotransmitters and receptors. When you mess with that delicate balance, you can cause permanent changes that alter the way your brain interprets stimuli, desire, consciousness and even motor coordination. The end result can be an inclination towards Parkinson's, schizophrenia, paranoia, HPPD, depersonalization, gambling, compulsions, anxiety, mania, depression.
All of you hippies that suggest otherwise are just plain wrong and irresponsible.
And can you blame me for being a troll, with comments like "Only.01% of people get addicted, so drugs should not be controlled and alcohol is more dangerous, so drugs are safe and the only reason they're illegal is because of a government conspiracy and people die on contraceptives too and people with HPPD were just crazy before and correlation is not causation maybe milk made them crazy it must have been laced because these are Wonder Drugs with absolutely no consequence and totally 100% safe blah blah blah don't take my drugs away because I don't have a problem..." I could go on and on.
I don't want my children reading this stupid crap from a bunch of dimwitted radical hippies.
Do you seriously expect us to believe that only.01% of people get addicted to drugs? Really amazing the type of irresponsible nonsense you junkies spew.
Drugs were at one time legal, which lead to the horrible problem of addiction, which is a sound reason to control substances.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster fuck of these "gays" in the military. That's hot!
...do customers have to buy the same music multiple times ? If so, that sucks.
Yes, and they hide this fact by changing the "PlaysForSure" to "Certified for Windows Vista," ensuring consumer confusion and lock-in.
At least that's how I read the story, but the comments here are all over the place.
I hope the guy ... gets raped in jail
Nobody deserves rape. You should be thankful that most of society does not share your sense of justice.
Well then, I hope he rapes someone in jail and then someone mistakes him for a perv on the internet and kills him. Only then will justice be served.
I made a new theory of everything too. It's called Poo Theory. It predicts 30 new particles. I hope they find them. Then I'll be a genius.
Vote 'Yes' to machine-guns. They solve the problem of all those unwanted children.

Yes, but you also get, or I heard, you get 40% exposure from your shoes, tracking lead indoors, and it's why you shouldn't where your shoes indoors.

"Icy to dull the pain, hot to relax it away?"
And poison to feel like crap for 20 years.
Why use poison if you can just mint flavor everything, like the toothpaste companies do to everything.

Yes, however alcohol reduces frostbite and... Ventricular fibrillation. "Perhaps this protective effect causes the observed higher survival rate in hypothermics who had been drinking, compared to those who were sober."
Wow. Fascinating. What were your symptoms, how long in duration, and do you have recurrences or "flashbacks"?
Okay, hippy.
