    you could justify anything with that type of logic. Maybe it's natural that the slavery happened, but it's not natural for a human to be a slave to another person.

    So did that stop the American scientist from working? You can't stop Science.

    This isn't a simple biological fact. I haven't eaten meat for over 6 years. What's supposed to happen to me if I don't eat meat? I don't take supplements either.

    What's a soy milk maker? I buy soy milk and it's pretty expensive. If a soy milk maker is cheaper, then I think I'll pick one up. Also, don't people call them "Soy Chick-un Strips"?

    That's because we live in a meat eating world, so eating things that resemble what one use to eat makes the transition easier. But in countries where they don't have hamburgers on a daily basis the vegetarian/vegan meal is more unique and un-meatlike.

  6. Re:If it was commercially viable on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    McDonalds use to use soy filler in their burgers, but got caught. So they started advertising 100% beef because meat eaters like to eat meat even if the substitute taste the same. If this product did exist they wouldn't support it unless their customers approved it first. So why would they pour tons of money into R&D?

    compare your canine teeth to that of a dog and tell me they are the same thing. Also how often do you use it to chew meat. I pretty sure you are like everyone else and chew your meat in the back of your mouth where your molars are.

    what nutritional requirements do you need from animals? I've been vegan for over 6 years now and I feel better than when I ate meat. You don't need animals to stay alive.

    Remember if they weren't intended to be eaten they wouldn't have been made out of meat! Aren't you made of meat? Also not all creatures are designed to eat meat. And factory farming is far from natural.

    Science will be fine. I don't understand all this concern about Science going away. The local atheist and "free thinkers" in my area claim science as something they can hold on to, like it's their religion.

    You can't take science away. Sure there are concerns of losing jobs, but according to the Expelled trailer it happens on both sides. Let's just remember that without science Ben Stein wouldn't have been able to make his movie.

    I wouldn't mind having that attitude if it weren't for the fact that even innocent people get caught up in this crap as well. Its not unusual for people with "nothing to hide" getting their rights violated in the name of protecting this country.

  15. Does it come in pink? on HP Unveils Small Commercial Linux Laptop · · Score: 1

    So my 8 year old sister and I were walking through Office Depot looking for printer ink when we ran across a pink Toshiba laptop ($1300). She says she loves it and wants it for her birthday. So I ask her what she needs a computer for and she says to write stories and surf the internet. This sounds like the perfect fit if it comes in pink or with the pics of some show from Disney, like Hannah Montana.

    I'm not sure how streetview is making Google any money because there are no ads on the site.

    According to the article the Borings say that Google drove onto their property to take the pictures, but as you can see Google just took it from the road and there aren't clearly marked signs at the time of the picture taking. Or at least I can't see a sign from the photos on streetview. I got the address from here.

    Remember Google did this intentionally to ruin this specific family's privacy. Or at least these people say Google did it intentionally. What Google should do is remove the house, but in it's place put an ad.

    Sometimes Google gets it wrong (just between you and me). For a while the filter would put my Google Calendar notifications in the spam box and I had to keep reminding them that it wasn't spam. So now I check it all the time.

    Are you sure that only those two entities have that info? I remember when I signed up for my car insurance they asked me a ton of personal questions that I didn't have the answers to. They asked me stuff about my dad and which street I lived on in 1982. I couldn't believe the amount of personal history they had on me.

    Just look at these post, no one can define left and right properly. Each poster tells the other poster that their definition is wrong. That's because we are all complex and a leftist will define being leftist different than another leftists and the same holds true for people on the right. Screw defining it.

    Even though this analogy is gross it makes a great point. People hate ads, so its up to the marketing companies to try and create ads that are less intrusive and more relevant. If the marketing companies know this, then they should try some new methods of advertising besides the method they are currently using.
