    "Looming bankruptcy"

    Yea, which is why we're still by ourselves in the top 10 in the global economy. What does that tell you about the rest of the world, eh?

    Sorry, without us, the USA (and a HUGE majority of the globe) dies.

    Come back when you have an actual clue of the state of the world as a whole. Get a passport (I'm on my fifth one, full of stamps) and actually go learn this shit for yourself.

    So many places so severely dependent upon us that is isn't funny any longer.

    No, my P4 didn't throttle. It hit temp and instantly shut down. No throttling.

    Uh, duh? Laptop versus desktop.

    The G4 wasn't meant to be as powerful. For that, it would've sucked up 300% the power.

    I don't count California because California stands on its own, despite being a member of the Union.

    We essentially own your asses.

    Tomatoes are a FRUIT.

    The vegetable part of a tomato plant would KILL you. It's a nightshade, after all.

    "So, you need to be honest with yourself if anyone: how can you possibly assert that âoeregular consumption of significant amounts of water can reduce the risk of development of dehydrationâ is factually untrue?"

    Go take a few medical classes and maybe you'll actually have a clue.

    "Except caffeine is not actually classified as a drug"

    Bullshit. Caffeine is classified by the FDA as an analeptic drug - Cafsit is one of *MANY* regulated examples..

    Might be helpful if you actually looked up your information before spouting off.

    "one can consume a serving of vegetables just from consuming the sauce."

    Except defining a botanical FRUIT as a vegetable is bullshit, no matter what form it's in.

    Vegetables are fucking non-seed bearing parts of a plant - VEGETATION.

    PERIOD.

    Culinary definitions are nonsense.

    The American ruling was bullshit.

    "I believe that there were cooks calling things "fruits" and "vegetables" before there were scientists (in the modern sense of that word). Both terms go back to Middle English, according to the OED."

    I'm sorry, Oxford doesn't qualify for American English (which happens to be proper English, the British changed up their method of speaking after the revolutionary war.)

    "There are botanical definitions that exclude it from being a fruit, as the fruit wall is virtually nonexistent."

    Bullshit. Glad you aren't working in the agricultural industry. You'd have likely killed several small countries by now with that nuclear-grade ignorance.

    That experiment you link to doesn't even have a five-sigma degree of certainty.
