@lennert9756 no, meat is not the primarily source of B12.
"The only organisms to produce vitamin B12 are certain bacteria, and archaea. Some of these bacteria are found in the soil around the grasses that ruminants eat; they are taken into the animal, proliferate, form part of their gut flora, and continue to produce vitamin B12."
Suppliments are fine, and his data (as he unfortunately implied in his video) on the fact that vegas are the only ones with b12 deficiencies is erroneous.
Are there vegans (especially from raw vegan communities) that have severe b12 deficiencies?
Yes, there are, but there are also people with a traditional diet with same problem, mainly because with ageing people tend to absorb harder this nutrient. So older people, regardless of their choice of diet should in many cases include B12 supplements.
Meat is an unsuitable food choice for a 7.6 billion human population, when 80% of the land used, is used to grow fodder for animals that are grown for meat.

@CraneArmy The phenomenology of gender dysphoria in adults: A systematic review and meta-synthesis
Kate Cooper, Ailsa Russell, [...], and Catherine Butler
Abstract
Gender dysphoria is distress due to a discrepancy between one's assigned gender and gender identity. Adults who wish to access gender clinics are assessed to ensure they meet the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria. Therefore, the definition of gender dysphoria has a significant impact on the lives of individuals who wish to undergo physical gender transition. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize all existing qualitative research literature about the lived experience of gender dysphoria in adults. A pre-planned systematic search identified 1491 papers, with 20 of those meeting full inclusion criteria, and a quality assessment of each paper was conducted. Data pertaining to the lived experience of gender dysphoria were extracted from each paper and a meta-ethnographic synthesis was conducted. Four overarching concepts were identified; distress due to dissonance of assigned and experienced gender; interface of assigned gender, gender identity and society; social consequences of gender identity; internal processing of rejection, and transphobia. A key finding was the reciprocal relationship between an individual's feelings about their gender and societal responses to transgender people. Other subthemes contributing to distress were misgendering, mismatch between gender identity and societal expectations, and hypervigilance for transphobia

@bigsmall246 my dear science guy wanna be, let's start by defining the terms we use, shell we?
pain
/peɪn/Submit
noun
1.
highly unpleasant physical sensation caused by illness or injury.
2.
great care or trouble.
verb
1.
cause mental or physical pain to.
Medical dictionary by Farlex: Pain is defined as an unpleasant
feeling that is conveyed to the brain by sensory neurons.[2]
The discomfort signals actual or potential injury to the
body. However, pain is more than a sensation or the physical
awareness of pain; it also includes perception, the subjective
interpretation of the discomfort. Perception gives information
on the pain’s location, intensity, and something about its
nature. The various conscious and unconscious responses
to both sensation and perception, including the emotional
response, add further definition to the overall concept of
pain
So once again, how the fuck an organism without nervous system and pain receptor can feel pain?
Do plants have a reaction to stimuli, yes, yes they have, I never contradicted that fact.
Is that reaction called pain? No, it is not, not according to general, nor medical definition of pain.

Don't reformulate what I've said to suit your narrative. And it's not a claim, I just stated an opinion, a commonsense observation that those who are anti science will most probably deny both climate change and vaccines, but will do so on different criteria, usually a contradictory criteria.
Just take your god damn president (I'm pretty sure you are form US, if not I apologize in advance) he denies climate change, he is anti vaccines, he also cut the budgets for almost any institution that operates with pollution or clean energy, but instead he is pro coal, pro oil etc ... so you have at least one.
But he isn't the only one, the most of the republican party is like that, and how do you think are those who elected them?...Pretty sure almost same as those who represent them
So what source exactly are you seeking for me to provide?

So you think by linking me to a video of someone who has "evidence" from sources that wrote or spoke about Jesus decades after his death, that will be classified as evidence? :))
Tacitus was born 25 years after Jesus alleged death. (c. 56 AD – c. 120 AD)
Pliny the younger was born about 30 years after his death. (61 – c. 113)
Lucian of Samosata was born about 100 years after his death. (about 125 AD – after 180 AD)
Titus Flavius Josephus was born about 7 years after his death. ( 37 – c. 100)
Celsus was a 2nd-century Greek philosopher (he wasn't even born in the same century as your mythical being, but you still think he is a good source)
Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was born 30 years after jesus death ( c. 69 – after 122 AD)
Phlegon of Tralles lived in the 2nd century AD.
And none of them said that Jesus existed, their quotes revealed only what christians of their times believed about their religion. But in your video the author conveniently assumes that they believe in his existence.
Confirmation bias much?
And also how about all the historians and philosophers that actually lived during Jesus times?
How about:
- Philo of Alexandria (c. 20 BCE – c. 50 CE), he lived exactly during Jesus supposedly lived, he was born before the beginning of the Christian era, and lived until long after the reputed death of Christ. He wrote an account of the Jews covering the entire time that Christ is said to have existed on earth...but nothing about such a miraculous being?
- Justus of Tiberius, was also a historian named Justus of Tiberius who was a native of Galilee, the homeland of Jesus. He wrote a history covering the time when Christ supposedly lived. This history is now lost, but a ninth century Christian scholar named Photius had read it and wrote: “he [Justus] makes not the least mention of the appearance of Christ, of what things happened to him, or other wonderful works that he did.”
- Marcus Pertecules
- Pomponius Mela
- Florus Lucius
- Titus livius
- Macus Cluvius Rufus
- Quintus Curtius Rufus
And so on...all this people were historians/philosophers and contemporary to Jesus...but none of them wrote a single thing about him, why?
Why the only ones talking about him are people that weren't even born during his time?

@robertkalinic335 "Agriculture contributes 11% to global greenhouse gas emissions with ruminants adding methane. Among the gases from livestock and poultry that are potential problems are the following: carbon dioxide, ammonia, total reduced sulfur including hydrogen sulfide, and water vapor together with odors."
"All animals influence the environment to varying extents. The production of livestock and poultry has marked impacts on the environment influencing water, air, and soil. Manure or animal waste is the predominant source of concern particularly with intensive animal agriculture. At the time of writing, in the USA, livestock and poultry produce 120 million metric tons of manure in dry weight. Some researchers put the impact of animal agriculture at 27% of total human water usage globally for the production of livestock (including water used to grow the feed grains)." - Impact of Agricultural Animals on the Environment by Colin G.Scanes, from science direct
The environmental impact of meat production varies because of the wide variety of agricultural practices employed around the world. All agricultural practices have been found to have a variety of effects on the environment. Some of the environmental effects that have been associated with meat production are pollution through fossil fuel usage, animal methane, effluent waste, and water and land consumption. Meat is obtained through a variety of methods, including organic farming, free range farming, intensive livestock production, subsistence agriculture, hunting, and fishing.
Meat is considered one of the prime factors contributing to the current sixth mass extinction.[1][2][3][4] The 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services found that industrial agriculture and overfishing are the primary drivers of the extinction crisis, with the meat and dairy industries having a substantial impact.[5][6] The 2006 report Livestock's Long Shadow, released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, states that "the livestock sector is a major stressor on many ecosystems and on the planet as a whole. Globally it is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity, while in developed and emerging countries it is perhaps the leading source of water pollution."[7] - from wikipedia
There are also chapters about animal agriculture and it's impact over environment in latest 2018 UN report.
And there are many many more articles if you simply google "animal agriculture and environment"
Now dear griffter, you present your sources for your bullshit claims.

@lexort4204 trust me when I tell you I do understand your history and your politics far more better then most of US population. And also as someone born and raised in a communist country (now a democracy) I know all the good, the bad and the ugly of the ideology.
Yes, most of your countrymen have a very skewed understanding of politics, and the level of indoctrination (from religious to politic indoctrination) is that of underdeveloped country.
It's frightening that to be an atheist (for example) ia such a stigma that you have (to my knowledge) almost no (open) atheist in a public political position. That is really scary in a true democracy, to be run by people with imaginary friends (and proud of it), it's insane.
They are to busy waiting for the self fulfilling prophecy that most religions are (especially abrahamic ones), than to make policies good for people and for environment.
Most Americans that I talk to always ask me, "why do you care?" First of all, everything that happens there affects us here, also US is the second largest polluter... I would be so happy to see that you are governed by someone more responsible in that sense. So that's why I really couldn't care less how a politician calls him/herself as long as their policies are in order.
And Bernie is that person, AOC is person that...and hopefully much more like that will follow.

I'm sorry, but that is plain tin foil hat attitude.
Yes there were found soft tissue of dinosaurs fossiles and scientits did looked into it
"The controversial discovery of 68-million-year-old soft tissue from the bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex finally has a physical explanation. According to new research, iron in the dinosaur's body preserved the tissue before it could decay.
The research, headed by Mary Schweitzer, a molecular paleontologist at North Carolina State University, explains how proteins — and possibly even DNA — can survive millennia. Schweitzer and her colleagues first raised this question in 2005, when they found the seemingly impossible: soft tissue preserved inside the leg of an adolescent T. rex unearthed in Montana." - this is from live science
No, there isn't human footprin incarved in a dinosaur footpront
"For many years claims were made by strict, "young-earth" creationists that human footprints or "giant man tracks" occur alongside fossilized dinosaur tracks in the limestone beds of the Paluxy River, near Glen Rose Texas. If true, such a finding would dramatically contradict the conventional geologic timetable, which holds that humans did not appear on earth until over 60 million years after the dinosaurs became extinct. However, the "man track" claims have not stood up to close scientific scrutiny, and in recent years have been abandoned even by most creationists." - this is from talk origins
And there are no cave painting of dinosaurs
"While certainly the most prominent, the supposed sauropod was not the only dinosaur carving creationists thought they saw on the bridge. Three other dinosaur depictions have been said to exist, but Senter and Cole easily debunked these, as well. One of the "dinosaurs" was nothing but a mud stain; a proposed Triceratops was just a composite of petroglyphs that do not represent animals, and what has been described as a carving of Monoclonius was nothing more than an enigmatic squiggle. There are no dinosaur carvings on Kachina Bridge." - and this is from smithsonian
"Mainstream science" or as most people know it by its proper name - science, doesn't accept myths but facts. That's why the myths of creationism are not accepted, they are not supported by any corroborating evidence.

Kerns Noel Are you the dude from the clip? That also would explain a lot...
If you compare yourself to a newborn child, you have the same mental capacity as that infant, and that makes sense for people that actually can use their brain, but for a special snowflake like you of course it makes no sense...
And if someone is injured in a public place, of course that person should pe treated on spot if it si posible, the only reason people don't do it, its because is not sanitary, unlike breastfeeding.
The most ironic part is that you are a dude, and have no idea what breastfeeding means to the mother and child bond, but you have the emotional maturite of a chair and think that you are entitle to an opinion.
No my dear obtuse friend, you are just stupid and have opinion, that doesn't mean that you are correct.

+SpiKe Yooou and +Wolfram Hüttermann1 Actually, most mammals have similar cognitive and emotional functions. We humans are not an exception. And much part of our evolution is due to the instincts we as animals still have. There are studies that prove that other species posses the ability to empathize - that is not purely instinct. Also we share DNA with everything alive on this planet
Another thing is that I usually question humans so called intelligence. Yes, of course it's fantastic that humans are able to do things that other animals cannot, but another thing that we do and other species do not do it, is fucking up their own habitat. We humans seem to be masters at that, and then go around and call it intelligence?
Most people are not intelligent, but most have the arrogance to think they can and have the right to exploit other species because they think of themselves as being intelligent.
Also I doubt that other species have as many imaginary friends as humans do, or that they start wars in the name of their imaginary friends.
Plus humans are the most atrocious and cruel killer...I highly recommend you all to watch documentary "The superior human".
We have a different kind of intelligence, but we are not in any way superior to other species, we make more damage than good, how is that a trait of superiority?

@jamesahern9864 "Starchy carbs, not a Paleo diet, advanced the human race
10 August 2015
New research suggests Palaeolithic humans would not have evolved on today's 'Paleo' diet.
Starchy carbohydrates were a major factor in the evolution of the human brain, according to a new study co-authored by researchers from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre and Faculty of Agriculture and Environment.
Cooking starchy food was central to the dietary change that triggered and sustained the growth of the human brain
Professor Les Copeland
Published in the Quarterly Review of Biology, the hypothesis challenges the long-standing belief that the increase in size of the human brain around 800,000 years ago was the result of increased meat consumption.
The research is a blow to advocates of the Paleo diet, which shuns starch-rich vegetables and grains.
“Global increases in obesity and diet-related metabolic diseases have led to enormous interest in ancestral or ‘Palaeolithic’ diets,” said Professor Jennie Brand-Miller from the Charles Perkins Centre, who co-authored the research with Professor Les Copeland from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Agriculture and Environment and international colleagues.
“Up until now, there has been a heavy focus on the role of animal protein in the development of the human brain over the last two million years. The importance of carbohydrate, particularly in the form of starch-rich plant foods, has been largely overlooked. Our research suggests that dietary carbohydrates, along with meat, were essential for the evolution of modern big-brained humans.
“The evidence suggests that Palaeolithic humans would not have evolved on today’s ‘Paleo’ diet.”
According to the researchers, the high glucose demands required for the development of modern humans’ large brains would not have been met on a low carbohydrate diet. The human brain uses up to 25 per cent of the body’s energy budget and up to 60 per cent of blood glucose.
Human pregnancy and lactation, in particular, place additional demands on the body’s glucose budget, along with increased body size and the need for mobility and dietary flexibility.
Starches would have been readily available to early human populations in the form of tubers, seeds and some fruits and nuts. But it was only with the advent of cooking that such foods became more easily digested, leading to “transformational” changes in human evolution, said co-author Professor Les Copeland. "

@manth886 since when growing plants equals vegan?
Are stupid or something?
Most grains that are grown today, are grown to feed cattle (about 80% of land i agriculture is used for cattle).
Also meat didn't make us humans, starches did, according ro a study made by the University of Sydney:
"Published in the Quarterly Review of Biology, the hypothesis challenges the long-standing belief that the increase in size of the human brain around 800,000 years ago was the result of increased meat consumption.
The research is a blow to advocates of the Paleo diet, which shuns starch-rich vegetables and grains.
“Global increases in obesity and diet-related metabolic diseases have led to enormous interest in ancestral or ‘Palaeolithic’ diets,” said Professor Jennie Brand-Miller from the Charles Perkins Centre, who co-authored the research with Professor Les Copeland from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Agriculture and Environment and international colleagues.
“Up until now, there has been a heavy focus on the role of animal protein in the development of the human brain over the last two million years. The importance of carbohydrate, particularly in the form of starch-rich plant foods, has been largely overlooked. Our research suggests that dietary carbohydrates, along with meat, were essential for the evolution of modern big-brained humans.
“The evidence suggests that Palaeolithic humans would not have evolved on today’s ‘Paleo’ diet.”
According to the researchers, the high glucose demands required for the development of modern humans’ large brains would not have been met on a low carbohydrate diet. The human brain uses up to 25 per cent of the body’s energy budget and up to 60 per cent of blood glucose.
Human pregnancy and lactation, in particular, place additional demands on the body’s glucose budget, along with increased body size and the need for mobility and dietary flexibility.
Starches would have been readily available to early human populations in the form of tubers, seeds and some fruits and nuts. But it was only with the advent of cooking that such foods became more easily digested, leading to “transformational” changes in human evolution, said co-author Professor Les Copeland.
Cooking starchy foods was central to the dietary change that triggered and sustained the growth of the human brain,” Professor Copeland said

@rossobrink8097 why are babies led-weaned then If we are suppose to drink it all our life?
Also this:
"Twenty questions on atherosclerosis
William C. Roberts, MD
Is atherosclerosis a disease affecting all animals or only certain animals?
Atherosclerosis affects only herbivores. Dogs, cats, tigers, and lions can be saturated with fat and cholesterol, and atherosclerotic plaques do not develop (1, 2). The only way to produce atherosclerosis in a carnivore is to take out the thyroid gland; then, for some reason, saturated fat and cholesterol have the same effect as in herbivores.
Are human beings herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores?
Although most of us conduct our lives as omnivores, in that we eat flesh as well as vegetables and fruits, human beings have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores (2). The appendages of carnivores are claws; those of herbivores are hands or hooves. The teeth of carnivores are sharp; those of herbivores are mainly flat (for grinding). The intestinal tract of carnivores is short (3 times body length); that of herbivores, long (12 times body length). Body cooling of carnivores is done by panting; herbivores, by sweating. Carnivores drink fluids by lapping; herbivores, by sipping. Carnivores produce their own vitamin C, whereas herbivores obtain it from their diet. Thus, humans have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores."

@Loislikes there are women as strong as most men, not as often, but there are, but you will start calling them biological men instead of accepting that there are such women...
All humans are on a spectrum when comes to their abilities, and there isn't a clear biological demarcation of what can specifically women do or men do, just social expectations and pressure, especially giving nowadays technologies.
Also, I am against the military in general, so no, I am not impressed by the fact that men are aggressive. That is an issue, not a perk.

@Atheismo9760 dude, sorry for your lack of biology lessons, but unfortunately you cannot have an abortion because physically you cannot get pregnant.
But joke aside, we have the choice, because we have all the risks. You risk zero shit happening to you while we are pregnant and while we give birth (and even some time after), we risk even death, so that is the reason why women are and should be in charge with what happens in their body. If you would be in our place, I would said that it was your right to choose.
But you have the right to make sure your partner is not a shitty person. After all, it is your responsability with whom you consensually choose to have sex. So use contraceptives, condoms and spermicides, hormonal contraceptive for men, anything that makes you happy and keeps you away from unwanted children. But if you want one, make sure the female biological human incubator is on board with that.
Terminating Parental Rights . In the parent-child relationship, parents have some basic rights and responsibilities. ... However, a court can take these rights away from a parent if either one violates the law or if the father fails to claim paternity. A parent also may voluntarily terminate these rights." - https://family.findlaw.com/parental-rights-and-liability/terminating-parental-rights.html
The rest, I'm sorry, but it is fringe for me (in sense that I never eard of such things, I'm not trying to dismissthem, just that is new to me), and I'm not o board with anithing unfair, but I do not believe that law protects such things, or do please present evidence for contrary.

@bwilson774 I insist on asking here what rights women have and men don't?
No one so far come up with actual rights or legal mishaps that are against men, for a fucking reason... (just a few anectodal stories, but not numbers, which would not paint a good situation for all incels that like y
to cry so much victimhood)
You kids have some talking points of situations you've never faced and only heard of on internet, but promote them as acual statistaical truth.
You take a serious matter as home abuse, which statisticallly are in vast majority perpetuated by men, and make it trivial for women, because there are some fringe cases of men being abused, which I am not condoning, but it is similar the way american white people scream racism in trivial matters.
It's not a fucking competition, and if you really wanna compete, at least be mindful of the fact that it is still a world ruled by men and not by women, so why are you the victims?

@SamOc-d9n I am not impressed by your sophistry. No, science and religion are not equal, as much as you erroneously try to equate the two.
We do not presuppose our capacity to do science on one person's perception, memory, or reasoning, but there is a specific method that is used to observe and verify the theories that are proposed.
Yes, human mind has it's limitations, and people can make mistakes, or use science to do mistakes, but there are scientific tools to prevent that as much as it is possible, that's why science evolves and changes.
Show me the same level of accuracy in religion. Where do we have to look for that?

@lio.p most deadly human diseases are linked to animal products consumption.
"How important is it for us as a nation—and you as an individual—to change our eating habits? Of the 10 leading killer diseases in the United States, 6 are connected in some way to what we eat or drink. Combined, these 6—heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes mellitus, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, and atherosclerosis—accounted for nearly 1.5 million deaths in 1987, nearly 70 percent of all deaths in the United States that year"
"People who follow a strict vegetarian diet—no meat, poultry, fish, eggs, or dairy products—tend to have lower blood pressure than those who eat a typical U.S. diet. Since strict vegetarians eat more monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and less total fat, saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol, it is reasonable to suspect that dietary fat may have something to do with developing hypertension." - Eat for Life

@Michael-r3d what are you even about?
This is the law regarding SA:
"1) Actul de natură sexuală, altul decât cele bune în art. 218, cu o persoană, săvârșit prin constrângere, punere în imposibilitate de a se apăra sau de a-și exprima voința ori profitând de această stare, se pedepsește cu închisoarea de la 2 la 7 ani și interzicerea exercitării unor drepturi."
The translation (ad literam with google translator)
"1) The act of a sexual nature, other than the good ones in art. 218, with a person, committed by coercion, making it impossible to defend himself or to express his will or taking advantage of this state, is punishable by imprisonment from 2 to 7 years and the prohibition of the exercise of certain rights."
So where exactly does it say that only men can be perpetuators? When the law talks about "a person" and in romanion "person"- "persoana" îs a feminine form actually..

@greysonrennels6494 says who? You?
Where is your scientific evidence that we evolved to eat meat?
I will refer you to this:
"Published in the Quarterly Review of Biology, the hypothesis challenges the long-standing belief that the increase in size of the human brain around 800,000 years ago was the result of increased meat consumption.
The research is a blow to advocates of the Paleo diet, which shuns starch-rich vegetables and grains.
“Global increases in obesity and diet-related metabolic diseases have led to enormous interest in ancestral or ‘Palaeolithic’ diets,” said Professor Jennie Brand-Miller from the Charles Perkins Centre, who co-authored the research with Professor Les Copeland from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Agriculture and Environment and international colleagues.

“Cooking starchy foods was central to the dietary change that triggered and sustained the growth of the human brain,” Professor Copeland said.
Researchers also point to evidence in salivary amylase genes, which increase the amount of salivary enzymes produced to digest starch. While modern humans have on average six copies of salivary amylase genes, other primates have only an average of two. The exact point at which salivary amylase genes multiplied is uncertain, but genetic evidence suggests it occurred in the last million years, around the same time that cooking became a common practice."- from the University of Sydney
Now your scientific sources.

@rustybucket4340 for ducking what do we need heme iron, for surely havinf esophageal or stomach cancer?
"Heme iron from meat and risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and stomach
Mary H. Ward, Ph.D., Amanda J. Cross, Ph.D., [...], and Dennis D. Weisenburger, M.D.
Additional article information
Abstract
Background
Iron can cause oxidative stress and DNA damage, and heme iron can catalyze endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds, which are potent carcinogens. Dietary iron promotes esophageal cancer incidence in animal studies and has been identified as a growth factor for Helicobacter pylori, an established risk factor for stomach cancer.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that high intakes of heme and iron from meat may be important dietary risk factors for esophageal and stomach cancer and may partly explain associations with red meat." - European Journal of Cancer Prevention

How does that form a layer of confirmation bias?
I'm an atheist, if in USSR people were killed or deported by atheist, it should had form a layer of confirmation bias against atheism for me, and not for atheism (if we follow that logic). Right? So please do elaborate on that part.
Also when people change one dogma to another, it is comparable to religion. And most dictatorial communist countries did that, they replaced the personality cult with religions, that's why they needed to declare themselves atheist first of all, and only then to apply their agenda. And they don't target only the clergy specifically (as I already explained to you) they are interested to remove any intellectual capacity of the population...and that is exactly as any dogma or religion does.
Think about the nazi Germany...they weren't atheist, but they did exactly the same thing. Used an escape goat, then pushed their propaganda. Because they based their convictions on a dogma.
I will agree with you on one part the problem is human's affinity for evil , but when you have a great imaginary excuse, that fucking helps evil people, don't you think? So that's why being highly religious and trying to imposed it on others doesn't really help. Religions are still the problem., even in the most secular countries, those that cause problem are the religious people - like in the Northern countries, or The Netherlands.

ricky agyekum I'm sorry but I do not understand what you are trying to say. You use too much "they" and "them", and the sense is lost.. (I would apreciate if you would reformulate that comment)
And you have no right to impose you religion on no one, especially on constotution, when that itself is unconstitutional. Do you remember the part with freedom of religion in your constitution?... there is a resoning behind the fact that at some point every democratic state separates itself from any religion.
The constitution of a country represent all its citizens, and you do not have only christian citizens. Most civilized countries are secular countryes, most backwards countries are based on religion. Compare The Netherlands to Yemen, and tell me were would you like to live more? I'm pretty sure not Yemen, and from an atheist point of view, any religious state is some sort of yemen.
Even from moral point of view, I do not understand religious people obsession with other people sexual life... It is more simple that you think if the intercourse is done between two or more ADULTS, and they consent, is it they right do do whatever they like. They don't have to please you on that. Same goes with marriage. No one is forced, and it doesn't affect you, why should you have anything to say in that regard?

gatesbrown26 You insist on the fact that more people died in 9/11 then from the hands of inquisition?
"Estimates of the number killed by the Spanish Inquisition, which Sixtus IV authorised in a papal bull in 1478, have ranged from 30,000 to 300,000. Some historians are convinced that millions died." - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/jun/16/artsandhumanities.internationaleducationnews
"The September 11 attacks killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000 others. These immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes, 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon."
Evil is evil, no matter to which dogma it subscribes. Christianity wasn't better, it just reformed, the same thing should happent to islam. But putting all the people in the same kettle is just not right. We should call out those that have dubious morality, or do you prefer to look away depending on their religion?

Kanti Jito "But forays into animal homosexuality research long predate Levick, with observations published as far back as the 1700s and 1800s. More than 200 years later, research has moved past some of the taboos those early researchers faced and shown that homosexuality is much more common than previously thought.
Same-sex behaviour ranging from co-parenting to sex has been observed in over 1,000 species with likely many more as researchers begin to look for the behaviour explicitly. Homosexuality is widespread, with bisexuality even more prevalent across species.
Researchers are now going beyond just observing it though, with researchers at Imperial leading the way in unravelling how, and why, homosexuality is found across nature. - from Imperial College London..
So you were saying?
And no, I wasn't contradicting myself, I was making a poiint, that equating "naturality" to somerhing good si a fallacy...

Kanti Jito Prosociality and a Sociosexual Hypothesis for the Evolution of Same-Sex Attraction in Humans
Andrew B. Barron1* and Brian Hare2
1Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia
2Department of Evolutionary Anthropology, Center for Cognitive Science, Duke University, Durham, NC, United States
Human same-sex sexual attraction (SSSA) has long been considered to be an evolutionary puzzle. The trait is clearly biological: it is widespread and has a strong additive genetic basis, but how SSSA has evolved remains a subject of debate. Of itself, homosexual sexual behavior will not yield offspring, and consequently individuals expressing strong SSSA that are mostly or exclusively homosexual are presumed to have lower fitness and reproductive success. How then did the trait evolve, and how is it maintained in populations? Here we develop a novel argument for the evolution of SSSA that focuses on the likely adaptive social consequences of SSSA. We argue that same sex sexual attraction evolved as just one of a suite of traits responding to strong selection for ease of social integration or prosocial behavior. A strong driver of recent human behavioral evolution has been selection for reduced reactive aggression, increased social affiliation, social communication, and ease of social integration. In many prosocial mammals sex has adopted new social functions in contexts of social bonding, social reinforcement, appeasement, and play. We argue that for humans the social functions and benefits of sex apply to same-sex sexual behavior as well as heterosexual behavior. As a consequence we propose a degree of SSSA, was selected for in recent human evolution for its non-conceptive social benefits. We discuss how this hypothesis provides a better explanation for human sexual attractions and behavior than theories that invoke sexual inversion or single-locus genetic models - oh look an entier scientific paper about it!

@J. Doe "The Y chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes (allosomes) in mammals, including humans, and many other animals. The other is the X chromosome. Y is normally the sex-determining chromosome in many species, since it is the presence or absence of Y that typically determines the male or female sex of offspring produced in sexual reproduction. In mammals, the Y chromosome contains the gene SRY, which by default triggers male development. The DNA in the human Y chromosome is composed of about 59 million base pairs.[5] The Y chromosome is passed only from father to son."
Can you read the part in which it says that it triggers male development?
I'm sorry kid, but that is the biology , you cannot change it. You can socially identify with whatever you like, but if you have Y chromosome you either are biologically a male or have some chromosomal issues.
"Humans are born with 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. The X and Y chromosomes determine a person’s sex. Most women are 46XX and most men are 46XY. Research suggests, however, that in a few births per thousand some individuals will be born with a single sex chromosome (45X or 45Y) (sex monosomies) and some with three or more sex chromosomes (47XXX, 47XYY or 47XXY, etc.) (sex polysomies). In addition, some males are born 46XX due to the translocation of a tiny section of the sex determining region of the Y chromosome. Similarly some females are also born 46XY due to mutations in the Y chromosome. Clearly, there are not only females who are XX and males who are XY, but rather, there is a range of chromosome complements, hormone balances, and phenotypic variations that determine sex.
Gender, typically described in terms of masculinity and femininity, is a social construction that varies across different cultures and over time" - WHO
You are confusing sex with gender.

@AlbanK-mu9bj we have similar digestive tract as dogs? Says who, your ignorant ass?
"Are human beings herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores?
Although most of us conduct our lives as omnivores, in that we eat flesh as well as vegetables and fruits, human beings have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores (2). The appendages of carnivores are claws; those of herbivores are hands or hooves. The teeth of carnivores are sharp; those of herbivores are mainly flat (for grinding). The intestinal tract of carnivores is short (3 times body length); that of herbivores, long (12 times body length). Body cooling of carnivores is done by panting; herbivores, by sweating. Carnivores drink fluids by lapping; herbivores, by sipping. Carnivores produce their own vitamin C, whereas herbivores obtain it from their diet. Thus, humans have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores." - from Twenty questions on atherosclerosis William C. Roberts, MD

@sankari6114 what fucking irony when you talk shit without backing up your claims?
You are so ignorant you don't even understand that B12 is not produced by animals but recycled from their flesh:"The only organisms to produce vitamin B12 are certain bacteria and archaea. Bacteria are found on plants that herbivores eat; they are taken into the animals' digestive system, proliferate and form part of their permanent gut flora, producing vitamin B12 internally.[3]" - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12
"The best plant sources of vitamin B6 include nutritional yeast, muesli, fortified vegan breakfast cereals, avocados, pistachio nuts, wheat germ, acorn squash, banana, quinoa, sunflower seeds, corn on the cob, wholemeal spaghetti, Brussel's sprouts, spring greens, chestnuts, hazelnuts, oranges, tahini (sesame seed paste )"

@sankari6114 "Is atherosclerosis a disease affecting all animals or only certain animals?
Atherosclerosis affects only herbivores. Dogs, cats, tigers, and lions can be saturated with fat and cholesterol, and atherosclerotic plaques do not develop (1, 2). The only way to produce atherosclerosis in a carnivore is to take out the thyroid gland; then, for some reason, saturated fat and cholesterol have the same effect as in herbivores.
Are human beings herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores?
Although most of us conduct our lives as omnivores, in that we eat flesh as well as vegetables and fruits, human beings have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores (2).

@BoolyK do you realize that animal agriculture is the second culprit for climate change, it is unhealthy and unethical...where the fuck did you took that stupid notion that we have to eat animal product. Vegetable, crops and legumes are the less expensive to grow and less wasteful than meat.
If somebody is talking from privilege and ignorance, that's you with zero understanding of how agriculture and nutrition works.
"Animal agriculture is choking the Earth, and the longer we turn a blind eye, the more we limit our ability to nourish ourselves, protect waterways and habitats, and pursue other uses of our precious natural resources. Raising livestock for meat, eggs and milk generates 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the second highest source of emissions and greater than all transportation combined. It also uses about 70% of agricultural land, and is one of the leading causes of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and water pollution."

@Gary Miller where the fuck did you got all that?
It's exactly the other way round it's the animal agrigulture that is destroying our planet.
"Land use for animal production influences the earth system in a variety of ways, including local‐scale modification to biodiversity, soils, and nutrient cycling; regional changes in albedo and hydrology; and global‐scale changes in greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations. Pasture is furthermore the single most extensive form of land cover, currently comprising about 22–26% of the earth's ice‐free land surface." - this is from "Land use for animal production in global change studies: Defining and characterizing a framework" by Leanne N. Phelps and Jed O. Kaplan
"Greenhouse gases occur naturally and are essential to the survival of humans and millions of other living things, by keeping some of the sun’s warmth from reflecting back into space and making Earth livable. But after more than a century and a half of industrialization, deforestation, and large scale agriculture, quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have risen to record levels not seen in three million years. As populations, economies and standards of living grow, so does the cumulative level of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions." - this is fromThe UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

@felixjohnsens3201 did you just willingly disregard all scientific data that @Pineapple Fried rise just presented to you?
"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes. "
- we don't need corpses to recycle their nutrients, we can take them from plant based nutrition.

@klondike444 Atherosclerosis is a pattern of the disease arteriosclerosis,[8] characterized by the development of abnormalities called lesions in the walls of arteries. These lesions may lead to narrowing of the arteries' walls due to buildup of atheromatous plaques.[9][10] At onset there are usually no symptoms, but if they develop, symptoms generally begin around middle age.[1] In severe cases, it can result in coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, or kidney disorders, depending on which body part(s) the affected arteries are located in the body.[1]
Risk factors include abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers,[11] high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking (both active and passive smoking), obesity, genetic factors, family history, lifestyle habits, and an unhealthy diet.[4] Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood.[9]

Sorry for being that kind, but veganism is the future, if we still want to have a livable planet.
Animal agriculture is the second culprit for climate change and the main reason why people are suffering from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, artheroslerosis and also all zoonotic viruses like - bird flu, swine flu,mad cow disease, sars, mers, covid etc

@rubiosdevista dumbshit, go learn some biology. Of course a carnivours organism will eat meat, you are not a fuckin lion nor a jaguar, you are a great ape.
Neither our digestive system, dentition (not even the way we chew our food, and side note genius, only herbivores chew their meals, carnivores and omnivores don't do that, they only bite and swollow chunks), nor the plethora of diseases we get fron eating animal products (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, artherosclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure etc) indicate that we are anything else then plant based species.
So please either do not reproduce, we have enough dumb people on this planet, or go and research the shit you don't actually know troll.

@BobArctor also, unlike you I have a master degree ih journalism. And this is the list for the sources on which the wikipedia article that I've quoted was based on:
Morell, Virginia (2015). "Meat-eaters may speed worldwide species extinction, study warns". Science. doi:10.1126/science.aad1607.
Machovina, B.; Feeley, K. J.; Ripple, W. J. (2015). "Biodiversity conservation: The key is reducing meat consumption". Science of the Total Environment. 536: 419–431.
Williams, Mark; Zalasiewicz, Jan; Haff, P. K.; Schwägerl, Christian; Barnosky, Anthony D.; Ellis, Erle C. (2015). "The Anthropocene Biosphere". The Anthropocene Review. 2 (3): 196–219.
Smithers, Rebecca (5 October 2017). "Vast animal-feed crops to satisfy our meat needs are destroying planet". The Guardian. Retrieved 3 November 2017.
McGrath, Matt (6 May 2019). "Humans 'threaten 1m species with extinction'". BBC. Retrieved 3 July 2019. Pushing all this forward, though, are increased demands for food from a growing global population and specifically our growing appetite for meat and fish.
And plus another 120 sources... go check it before saying stupid things.

@flashpeter625 just because many people would chose a role, that doesn't mean that all people in that situation should abide to majority.
Many women choose to stay at home, not because it is easier, but because, imagine that, our children are more important than to help someone to profit of our backs.
Also, men are stil preferred for many positions that have nothing to do with a person's gender, so we usually start as beng less paid and less preferred than a man in same position, and you have no idea how reticent are potential employers when they hear that you have a small child, how instantly you are not as well peppered as a man, but no man that is a dad ever had this problem.

Sorry I don't know of a source that you are asking, but for example, when I search for a certain book, I read reviews on it and start with the worst and then the best to see what people had to say about it. Usually, it helps me to select the ones that I will enjoy.
Given the fact that you are not accustomed to reading, I would start with genres that suit your personality. Like if you for example like thriller movies, I would start with thriler books, and after you will start appreciating to hallucinate in front of a sliced tree with symbols in it (😂, aka reading) would start choosing more intellectual reads, or genres that are not necessarily your type, just to challenge your own tastes, and maybe discover something new to appreciate.
Hope it helps.

@m.o.bentertainment8582 asta cu testul ADN nu zice mare lucru, pentru că biologic nu exista o gena anume pentru o anumita etnie ci aspecte genetice ce se identifică deobicei la anumite etnii, dar care se pot identifica și la alte etnii -precum culoarea pielii, culoarea ochilor, textura parului, forma ochilor etc (e o mare diferență dintre alea doua, să știi) plus că orice companie ce se ocupa de descifrarea codului genetic la o persoană se bazează masiv pe baza de date la teste genetice făcute anterior.
Există și un filmuleț pe YouTube cu doua tipe gemene (din alea identice) cărora la diferite companii le-au ieșit statistic niste diferente, inclusiv între ele două...
Mai mult de atât respectivele companii au capacitatea doar de a plasa într-o anumită zonă geografică, nici într-un caz să numească cu acuratețe etnia din care face parte individul testat. La care dintre ele ți-ai făcut testul?
Mai mult de atât afirmația ta precum că Moldova mereu a fost o societate multiculturală ar însemna că sunt comunități clar definite de etnii diferite și nu o omogenizare a populației sub aceeași denumire etnică și după cum am zis acest lucru nu s-a întâmplat pe o scară largă și bine definită etnic in Moldova, ca dovada e faptul că majoritatea se identifică drept români (sau alte denumiri care denotau aceeași etnie la momentul respectiv ,statul roman nefiind întemeiat până în sec XIX)...

@m.o.bentertainment8582 tu pricepe că biologic nu exista, și fii atent aici, NICIO RASA ETNICĂ la oameni!
Sociologic exista etnii care au diferite trăsături etnice, bazate pe niște markere biologice.
Si nu, nu am zis că ADN-ul.nu contează (te rog nu recurge la erori logice, care nu sunt argumente), ci că nu susține afirmația făcută de tine și anume că Moldova este o societate multiculturală.
Multiculturalismul implica mai multe comunități distincte de etnii diferite care se identifică cu aceste etnii (nu doar cu naționalitatea lor) ori așa ceva până în 1812 pe când au apărut rușii, găgăuzii, Ucrainenii și tiganii și pe care îi găsim și în ziua de azi pur și simplu au fost în număr neînsemnat (adică nu formau comunități largi, clare cu aceste etnii distincte) pe teritoriul Moldovei.
Dând exemplu englezilor, vrei sa zici că și comunitatea de englezi (nu britanici în general, doar englezi) e multiculturală, numai pentru că descind din mai multe popoare la un moment dat in istorie? Serios?

@m.o.bentertainment8582 Republica Moldova din punct de vedere etnic este un stat multinațional. Potrivit recensământului din 2004, principala comunitate etnică este aceea a moldovenilor (69,62% din populație).
băștinași declarați «Moldoveni» (75,1%)
băștinași declarați «Români» (7%)
Ucraineni (6,6%)
Găgăuzi (4,6%)
Ruși (4,1%)
Bulgari (1,9%)
Celelate etnii (0,8%)
Celelalte comunități etnice sunt minoritare și constituie 17.9% din totalul populației (potrivit aceluiași recensământ din 2014).
Regiunile cu cea mai mare diversitate etnică din republică sunt nordul (ucraineni, ruși, țigani), sud-estul (găgăuzi și bulgari) și estul țării (ruși, ucraineni, etc).

@creshiell no honey, you seem to be very confused on the subject..
"Twenty questions on atherosclerosis
William C. Roberts, MD
Additional article information
Is atherosclerosis a disease affecting all animals or only certain animals?
Atherosclerosis affects only herbivores. Dogs, cats, tigers, and lions can be saturated with fat and cholesterol, and atherosclerotic plaques do not develop (1, 2). The only way to produce atherosclerosis in a carnivore is to take out the thyroid gland; then, for some reason, saturated fat and cholesterol have the same effect as in herbivores.
Are human beings herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores?
Although most of us conduct our lives as omnivores, in that we eat flesh as well as vegetables and fruits, human beings have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores (2). The appendages of carnivores are claws; those of herbivores are hands or hooves. The teeth of carnivores are sharp; those of herbivores are mainly flat (for grinding). The intestinal tract of carnivores is short (3 times body length); that of herbivores, long (12 times body length). Body cooling of carnivores is done by panting; herbivores, by sweating. Carnivores drink fluids by lapping; herbivores, by sipping. Carnivores produce their own vitamin C, whereas herbivores obtain it from their diet. Thus, humans have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores." - from Baylor University Medical Center
"Glycogen refers to the state that carbohydrates take when they are in storage within your body. ... The carbohydrates in storage are called glycogen and are often used by the muscles during exercise. The amount of glycogen stored in your muscles is enough to provide energy for an entire day."- from wikipedia
And if you "hypothesis" would be true (that carbohydrates are responsible for metabolic syndrome) please explain to me how the hell do vegan doctors manage to reverse diabetes on a whole food plant based diet?
"For those with type 2, research shows a vegan diet may control your glucose levels better than other diabetes diets. It may also boost your mood. If you take insulin or other medication to control your blood sugar, talk to your doctor before you make a big change to your diet.Sep 16, 2019" - from webMD

@crispicave1457 no, they're not. Animal fats are responsible for most deadly human diseases.
Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis (that other omnivores animals do not develop)
"People who follow a strict vegetarian diet—no meat, poultry, fish, eggs, or dairy products—tend to have lower blood pressure than those who eat a typical U.S. diet. Since strict vegetarians eat more monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and less total fat, saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol, it is reasonable to suspect that dietary fat may have something to do with developing hypertension."
"Eating a diet high in fat can increase the risk of developing cancer, particularly cancers of the colon and breast. Studies of cancer rates and eating habits among the different people of the world show a consistent relationship between high-fat diets and high overall cancer rates. None of these studies, though, are as conclusive as those linking high-fat diets to heart disease." - both from: Eat for Life

@peterbaseball5 yes I will judge psychopaths that feel the need to kill other sentient being that have the ability to feel pain, when it is scientifically proven that a proper whole food plant based diet is not only acceptable but healthy.
"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes. A vegetarian diet is defined as one that does not include meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing those foods."
"In particular, a whole food plant-based diet, devoid of dairy and meat, low in saturated animal fat, has consistently been shown to be a highly effective treatment. A whole food plant based diet enables people with diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease toreverse diabetes and possibly discontinue medications"

@crispicave1457 most doctors don't learn nutrition in the school, and the few that dedicated their lives to study the correlation between nutrition and most deadly human diseases, happen to be vegans -
dr. Neal Barnard, dr. Garth Davis, dr. John A. McDougall, dr. Michael Greger, dr. Dean Ornish, dr. Joel Fuhrman, dr. Michael Klaper, dr. Milton Mills, dr. Gabriel Cousens and others. And sone of them have documented cased of reversed diabetes and agyna. Show me just one doctor that promotes a traditional omnivore diet with a record like that... I dare you!

@mattiOTX really?
"The existence and nature of emotions in animals are believed to be correlated with those of humans and to have evolved from the same mechanisms. Charles Darwin was one of the first scientists to write about the subject, and his observational (and sometimes anecdotal) approach has since developed into a more robust, hypothesis-driven, scientific approach.[1][2][3][4] Cognitive bias tests and learned helplessness models, have shown feelings of optimism and pessimism in a wide range of species including rats, dogs, cats, rhesus macaques, sheep, chicks, starlings, pigs, and honeybees"... even on fucking wikipedia you can find info on that

"When is the Capacity for Sentience Acquired During Human Fetal Development?
Susan Tawia
Received 07 Mar 1991, Accepted 28 Jan 1992, Published online: 07 Jul 2009
It is concluded that the basic neuronal substrate required to transmit somatosensory information develops by mid-gestation (18 to 25 weeks), however, the functional capacity of the neural circuitry is limited by the immaturity of the system. Thus, 18 to 25 weeks is considered the earliest stage at which the lower boundary of sentience could be placed. At this stage of development, however, there is little evidence for the central processing of somatosensory information. Before 30 weeks gestational age, EEG activity is extremely limited and somatosensory evoked potentials are immature, lacking components which correlate with information processing within the cerebral cortex. Thus, 30 weeks is considered a more plausible stage of fetal development at which the lower boundary for sentience could be placed."

@niccoloaurelius1587 so present those researches and scientific peer reviewed papers on acupuncture being a legit science.
Why is it your source an acupuncture site? Of course they will say they are legit...
Also, you know that wikipedia has a list of sources on which the article is based, right? Maybe that ia the reason why it still holds water?
And no, even in journalistic school wiki is legit as long as the sources for the article are legit too (I have a masters in journalism, not just master level courses as this buffon here, but actual masters degree)
Did you actually see the list of references for that article on wiki? No?
It has 296 sources of reference, let's see what the first link and tge second source of reference has to say abiut that.
"Demystifying acupuncture
D. Pyne, N. G. Shenker
Rheumatology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2008, Pages 1132–1136,
Published:
06 May 2008
Conclusion
Acupuncture research has been fraught with difficulties but evidence is emerging that, at least in short-term analyses, acupuncture can be a useful and relatively safe treatment for non-inflammatory musculoskeletal pain. In recent meta-analyses, acupuncture appears to have superiority over control arms. The most likely explanation for the mechanism of therapeutic acupuncture is the phenomenon of neuroplasticity. Acupuncture is likely to have a placebo effect but whether it has a more specific physiological effect remains unclear. Early work indicates that there are differences between the neural effects of expectation and acupuncture's therapeutic analgesia in functional studies in experimental settings . More work needs to be performed to explore these differences and this could lead to novel treatments to maximize the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture."
So basically placebo?

@burtonl7239 if you are a scientist I'm a fucking ballerina... and yes dumb ass, as a "scientist" you should know that the one making the positive claim has to present evidence for that..
And as a "scientist" have you ever heard of UN? Of The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)?
"Greenhouse gases occur naturally and are essential to the survival of humans and millions of other living things, by keeping some of the sun’s warmth from reflecting back into space and making Earth livable. But after more than a century and a half of industrialization, deforestation, and large scale agriculture, quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have risen to record levels not seen in three million years. As populations, economies and standards of living grow, so does the cumulative level of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions.
There are some basic well-established scientific links:
The concentration of GHGs in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth;The concentration has been rising steadily, and mean global temperatures along with it, since the time of the Industrial Revolution;The most abundant GHG, accounting for about two-thirds of GHGs, is carbon dioxide (CO2), is largely the product of burning fossil fuels."
"Land use for animal production influences the earth system in a variety of ways, including local‐scale modification to biodiversity, soils, and nutrient cycling; regional changes in albedo and hydrology; and global‐scale changes in greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations. Pasture is furthermore the single most extensive form of land cover, currently comprising about 22–26% of the earth's ice‐free land surface." - this is from Land use for animal production in global change studies: Defining and characterizing a framework by Leanne N. Phelps and Jed O. Kaplan
So you were saying, "scientist"?

@kavky A Swedish study found that too much milk – three or more glasses a day – was not only associated with mortality but also an increased risk of fracture and hip fracture.
Jan 14, 2021 - from cleveland clinic
In addition, excessive milk drinking appeared to actually increase a woman's risk of broken bones, compared with women who drank little milk. The risk of any bone fracture increased 16 percent in women who drank three or more glasses daily, and the risk of a broken hip increased 60 percent, the findings indicated.Oct 29, 2014 - from webmd
Stanford nutrition scientist Christopher Gardner, PhD, wants to help consumers cut through the confusion. In an interview, he discussed some of the biggest misconceptions about the beverage.
Most of us grew up believing that milk is important for children to build strong bones and for the elderly to prevent osteoporosis. But milk, a good source of calcium, isn’t necessarily the most critical factor for bone health, said Gardner, the Rehnborg Farquhar Professor and a professor of medicine.
“There are countries like Japan and India where the population is predominantly lactose-intolerant, where milk intake is low and hip fracture rates are also low. But many of those cultures do more weight-bearing activities than Americans,” he said. “It’s better to be physically active than drink milk as a way to strengthen your bones.” - from Stanford

@93boxing81 Ce tatuaj erau obligate să-și facă femeile racolate de Andrew Tate pentru studioul de videochat
Femeile care au mers să lucreze pentru Andrew Tate au fost tatuate cu mesajul „deținută de Tate”.
Andrew Tate, care a devenit cunoscut în ultimii ani din cauza declarațiilor sale misogine, este acuzat că a racolat femei care să lucreze la studoiul său videochat.
Acesta încă este în spatele gratiilor, în timp ce poliția invesighează acuzațiile potrivit cărora bărbatul a violat și traficat femei în vila sa.
Totul a început după ce o tânără de 22 de ani a spus polițiștilor că a fost ținută în vilă împotriva voinței ei, anul trecut.
Surse din poliție au spus pentru The Times că atât ea, cât și alte tinere au fost tatuate cu mesajul „deținută de Tate”.
Autoritățile spun că Tate ar fi ținut femei în vila sa „ca într-un arest, 24/7”.
„Abuzul era fizic și emoțional. Nu li se permitea să iasă din casă fără securitate și erau supravegheate zi și noapte”, au spus anchetatorii.
Ei au adăugat că au fost „private de libertate și urmărite peste tot”.
Tate este acuzat că ar fi obligat femeile să filmeze scene sexuale împotriva voinței lor. El a fost arestat alături de fratele său, dar și de asistentele lor: Georgiana Naghel și Luana Radu

What tattoo were forced to get women recruited by Andrew Tate for the video chat studio
Women who went to work for Andrew Tate were tattooed with the message "owned by Tate".
author
DUMITRACHE MEDEA
Andrew Tate, who has become known in recent years for his misogynistic statements, is accused of recruiting women to work at his video chat studio.
He is still behind bars as police investigate allegations that the man raped and trafficked women in his villa.
It all started after a 22-year-old woman told police she was held in the villa against her will last year.
Police sources told The Times that both she and other young women were tattooed with the message "owned by Tate".
Authorities say Tate allegedly kept women in his mansion "like a prison, 24/7."
"The abuse was physical and emotional. They were not allowed to leave the house without security and were under surveillance day and night,” the investigators said.
They added that they were "deprived of their liberty and followed everywhere".
Tate is accused of forcing women to film sex scenes against their will. He was arrested with his brother, but also with their assistants: Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu..

@Dylan Stetson Really? How about this:
"In a paper published in September in Nature Genetics, George Perry, a graduate student at Arizona State University, Nathaniel Dominy, an anthropology professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and their colleagues demonstrate something significant: unlike our fellow primates, modern humans have many copies of a gene that makes a protein in our saliva that is crucial for breaking down starch into glucose."
"Perry and Dominy were eating pizza when they decided to look into why “humans have so damn much” of the starch-specific protein in their saliva. Initially, Dominy says, “our ancestors weren’t grazers, but they weren’t meat eaters either.” The Hadza, who eat a little meat but rely mainly on digging up and roasting tough underground storage roots and tubers, may be a modern example of the kind of foraging group Perry and Dominy envision in our evolutionary past"

@ratakaio3802 Care to provide a source for your claim?- "meatless will make you sick in the long run: says who?
Because: "It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes."

@ratakaio3802 I'm for 13 years...so by your hypothesis I am dead now?
If veganism is not sustainable as you claim (still waiting for your sources), why is the American Dietetic Association disagree with you? Do you have more knowledge on the subject than actual experts?

@MrBilld75 "Twenty questions on atherosclerosis
William C. Roberts, MD
Is atherosclerosis a disease affecting all animals or only certain animals?
Atherosclerosis affects only herbivores. Dogs, cats, tigers, and lions can be saturated with fat and cholesterol, and atherosclerotic plaques do not develop (1, 2). The only way to produce atherosclerosis in a carnivore is to take out the thyroid gland; then, for some reason, saturated fat and cholesterol have the same effect as in herbivores.
Are human beings herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores?
Although most of us conduct our lives as omnivores, in that we eat flesh as well as vegetables and fruits, human beings have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores (2). The appendages of carnivores are claws; those of herbivores are hands or hooves. The teeth of carnivores are sharp; those of herbivores are mainly flat (for grinding). The intestinal tract of carnivores is short (3 times body length); that of herbivores, long (12 times body length). Body cooling of carnivores is done by panting; herbivores, by sweating. Carnivores drink fluids by lapping; herbivores, by sipping. Carnivores produce their own vitamin C, whereas herbivores obtain it from their diet. Thus, humans have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores."
Now do please provide evidence for the claim that humans are carnivores...

dude, I really don't care that you are so eager to have cardiovascular diseases and/or impotence in old age, you do you boo, but I just asked you to present evidence for your claims.
You now claim that this diet is proper for human speciei, based on what exact biologicaly facts?"
Now present evidence for your claims about meat

@BrightWendigo Starchy carbs, not a Paleo diet, advanced the human race
10 August 2015
Starchy carbohydrates were a major factor in the evolution of the human brain, according to a new study co-authored by researchers from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre and Faculty of Agriculture and Environment.
Published in the Quarterly Review of Biology, the hypothesis challenges the long-standing belief that the increase in size of the human brain around 800,000 years ago was the result of increased meat consumption.
The research is a blow to advocates of the Paleo diet, which shuns starch-rich vegetables and grains.
“Global increases in obesity and diet-related metabolic diseases have led to enormous interest in ancestral or ‘Palaeolithic’ diets,” said Professor Jennie Brand-Miller from the Charles Perkins Centre, who co-authored the research with Professor Les Copeland from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Agriculture and Environment and international colleagues.
“Up until now, there has been a heavy focus on the role of animal protein in the development of the human brain over the last two million years. The importance of carbohydrate, particularly in the form of starch-rich plant foods, has been largely overlooked. Our research suggests that dietary carbohydrates, along with meat, were essential for the evolution of modern big-brained humans.
“The evidence suggests that Palaeolithic humans would not have evolved on today’s ‘Paleo’ diet.”
According to the researchers, the high glucose demands required for the development of modern humans’ large brains would not have been met on a low carbohydrate diet. The human brain uses up to 25 per cent of the body’s energy budget and up to 60 per cent of blood glucose.
Human pregnancy and lactation, in particular, place additional demands on the body’s glucose budget, along with increased body size and the need for mobility and dietary flexibility.
Starches would have been readily available to early human populations in the form of tubers, seeds and some fruits and nuts. But it was only with the advent of cooking that such foods became more easily digested, leading to “transformational” changes in human evolution, said co-author Professor Les Copeland.
“Cooking starchy foods was central to the dietary change that triggered and sustained the growth of the human brain,” Professor Copeland said.
Researchers also point to evidence in salivary amylase genes, which increase the amount of salivary enzymes produced to digest starch. While modern humans have on average six copies of salivary amylase genes, other primates have only an average of two. The exact point at which salivary amylase genes multiplied is uncertain, but genetic evidence suggests it occurred in the last million years, around the same time that cooking became a common practice.
“After cooking became widespread, starch digestion advanced and became the source of preformed dietary glucose that permitted the acceleration in brain size,” Professor Copeland said.
“In terms of energy supplied to an increasingly large brain, increased starch consumption may have provided a substantial evolutionary advantage.”
Co-author Karen Hardy, a researcher with the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, said: “We believe that while meat was important, brain growth is less likely to have happened without the energy obtained from carbohydrates. While cooking has also been proposed as contributing to early brain development, cooking carbohydrates only makes sense if the body has the enzymic equipment to process these.”
According to the researchers, a diet similar to that which gave us our large brains in the Palaeolithic era would be positive for human health. However, unlike the modern Paleo diet, that diet should include underground starchy foods such as potatoes, taro, yams and sweet potatoes, as well as more recently introduced starchy grains like wheat, rye, barley, corn, oats, quinoa and millet.
“It is clear that our physiology should be optimised to the diet we experienced in our evolutionary past,” Professor Brand-Miller said.

@daminkim4787 please scroll up and read in another comment where I already addressed the fact that only because in that study that I've presented is aknowledged that meat was consumed, it doesn't mean that the study makes any claim about the importance of meat in human brain evolution. Or by all means show where the scientists make that claim...or based on what evidence is that claim made?
In the study that you've presented, the whole claim is based on the importance of Nicotinamide also known as B3 vitamine and guess what... the most prominent sources of vitamin B3 are: Vegetarian sources include avocado, mushrooms, green peas, beans, lentils, ginger, sweet pepper, and potatoes. Nuts and seeds include peanuts, soy nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, squash seeds, whole grains, soy milk
It never actually presented evidence that only meat has its contribuition in human brain, more so it even highlighted that large consumption of meat leads to low fertility, and it is an observational study but unlike the one that I've presented presented no actual evidence that supports the claim that meat is the evolutionary reason. In the Australian study there is highlighted the evidence of salivary enzymes and genes responsible for those, in yours is only pure speculation...

@daminkim4787 the sole premis of your study "Our argument begins with the Cambrian explosion18,19 (Figure 1). This era is known as Darwin’s dilemma as evolution progressed so fast – a veritable gallop of morphological complexity and genomic variation. The Cambrian was, in essence, an explosion of (vertebrate) brains and mineralised skeletons allowing calculated movement and burrowing for food. Consciousness, sentience, primal emotions, qualia, high arousal, and mental maps whether visual, tactile, sound, pain, taste, and lingering smells leading to memory maps, and so on, necessarily evolved for predation, as did raptorial appendages, in an escalatory arms race" - and humans didn't even existed as a species in Cambrian...so it's absolutely pure speculation....

@ryanhubbard1885 in hospitals, they literally flush a miscarried fetus.
And since when a fetus that didn't survive its own birth and never was born as a baby, never had a birth certificate issued is a corpse that is disacrated?
Oh, so now you are ok for a abortion to be performed in the first trimester, but some comments ago, you were making the argument that "life starts at conception" and every fetus should be birthed because it is unique, but never addressed the fact that every ova and every sperm cells is also unique.
And now that your position has changed and it's ok to perform abortion in the first trimester, why is that in case such as this were the pregnancy in the best case scenario will result in a very unhealthy baby that will most probability die agonizingly at some point in the first month, can not be performed so that neither the mother to be at risk, nor the fetus end up a very sentient but unvible baby?
What's wrong with abortions done for medical reasons, even in a later stage of pregnancy?

@jonathanbauer2988 *The study, published Aug. 13 in Science, suggests that consuming food rich in saturated fat and choline - a nutrient found in red meat, eggs and dairy products - increases the number of metabolites that build plaques in the arteries. It also points to a possible drug that can block the effects of the high-fat diet on the gut and the arteries.
“Our study shows how a high-fat diet disrupts the bacterial balance in the gut and leads to the production of harmful substances implicated in cardiovascular diseases,” said Andreas Bäumler, professor of medical microbiology and immunology at UC Davis Health and co-lead author on the study*
B12 is actually a by product of certain bacteria that ruminates take it from soil and untreated water, or in case of factory farming they are either injected or take suppliments of B12 in their fodder...
*According to a report found in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, the reason could have to do with the growth hormones found in cow's milk.
Milk that comes from a cow is intended to help baby calves grow, which means that there are natural steroids and growth hormones in milk. This report states that these hormones could possibly be what leads to acne in humans because when we drink their milk, our bodies release a hormone known as IGF-1, which is known to cause acne breakouts.
Another possible cause of milk-related acne is the use of man-made growth hormones found in many adult cows on dairy farms. The growth hormone rBGH (or Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is commonly used by dairy farmers to increase the amount of milk production, and according to the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology report, this hormone may be the acne culprit*
- so not exactly neutral...

@Chris-xl6pd "Livestock species contribute directly and indirectly to deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, greenhouse gases, global warming, desertification, erosion and human obesity, and virtually anywhere you go in the world, the damage done by ruminants, pigs and poultry, and those who grow feed crops for them, is visible on the land. Dry and scrubby Greece, once a nation of woodlands, has gone to the goats. In Brazil, forests are falling before the advance of soybean fields, cultivated largely as beef fodder." - Smithsonian
"Land use for animal production influences the earth system in a variety of ways, including local‐scale modification to biodiversity, soils, and nutrient cycling; regional changes in albedo and hydrology; and global‐scale changes in greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations. Pasture is furthermore the single most extensive form of land cover, currently comprising about 22–26% of the earth's ice‐free land surface.

dude, you got all that wrong. A proper whole food plant based diet is the only that is recommended for health resons, it is the only one shown in trials to revers diabetes and angina. Also:
"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including *pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes*"

@AvNotasian Present evidence for all your claims:
- how our ancestors "killed all the other species that were similar to them" - which spices exactly?
And how?
And how you concluded that? (don't mind, I will read...very curious actually)
- where did you got the correlation between food shortage and IQ in Africa - who's claim is that and based on what research?
"In addition this is a logical fallacy" - what? which statement? - did you just discovered pompous words like logical fallacy and non sequitur and now use them freely? :))
Because they don't make any sense the way you've used them...so please explain.
"Many people who would not be considered obese by their BMI nevertheless have high volumes of fat around their hearts , which could put them at risk for atrial fibrillation. Simple measures such as BMI may fail to completely inform us of a patient's true cardiovascular risk," said Mark Rabbat, MD, first author of the study and an assistant professor of medicine and radiology, Division of Cardiology, at Loyola University Medical Center. - so...you were saying?
And don't call me "conspiracy theorist moron with a confirmation bias" in same sentence where you say "the stuff that is not published by corporations is the concern not what is published" :))
My diet is superior from moral point of view, regarding environmental aspect and it is known as the only diet that the American Dietetic Association considers that an "appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes."
That doesn't make me a superior person, but I have a higher stand point when it comes to this particular aspect, sorry not sorry, I guess...

Ashish Entertainments (AE) no one claimed you are tough if you are not a virgin... but for someone married and with children, we can poke fun at this conservative chihuahua for how oblivious is he about sex.
Why do you get offended by that? If you want to have sex and you are an adult and you know another consenting adult, go have fun... your "virginity" which simply means "I have zero experience in sex", but cannot be detected physiologically (not even in women, the hymen shit is just a medical misunderstanding) is not an achievement nor something to be ashamed of. And in 'Murica this subject is too much idealized in both ways.
Sex (as long as it's among consenting adults) is a healthy fun activity, some people like it, some don't, just like videogames,sports, dance, music and other psychologically pleasing activities..

@DoctorK_in_Denmark In reality:
The ‘Nourishing Mother of the Studies’ according to its Latin motto, the University of Bologna was founded in 1088 and, having never been out of operation, holds the title of the oldest university in the world. Until relatively modern times, the university only taught doctorate studies, but today it has a diverse range of programs at all levels.
Your claim:
The University of Timbuktu is a collective term for the teaching associated with three mosques in the city of Timbuktu in what is now Mali: the mosques of Sankore, Djinguereber, and Sidi Yahya. It was a organized scholastic community that endured for many centuries during the medieval period. The university contributed to the modern understanding of Islamic and academic studies in West Africa during the medieval period and produced a number of scholars and manuscripts taught under the Maliki school of thought.
Mansa Musa I (ruled 1307–1332) gained control of the city. When Mansa Musa I traveled to Mecca in order to complete the Hajj, he returned to Mali with architects and scholars whom he had encountered along the way. He employed these people to establish mosques and universities in Timbuktu that quickly gained fame. As a result, more scholars from varied backgrounds and places traveled to the city to study and live. Some of these scholars came from Egypt, Fez, Awjila, Ghadames, and Tuat. Timbuktu acquired a reputation for learning and scholarship across the Muslim world.
But by all means you can present evidence if you have any...

@supremeleaderarmy9164 what did Bernie do, you know that it's easy to research, right?
His political accomplishments:
-1984: Mayor Sanders established the Burlington Community Land Trust, the first municipal housing land-trust in the country for affordable housing. The project becomes a model emulated throughout the world. It later wins an award from Jack Kemp-led HUD.
- Led the first ever civil rights sit-in in Chicago history to protest segregated housing.
-1991: one of a handful in Congress to vote against authorizing US military force in Iraq. “I have a real fear that the region is not going to be more peaceful or more stable after the war,” he said at the time.
- 1992: Congress passesSanders’ first signed piece of legislation to create the National Program of Cancer Registries. A Reader’s Digest article calls the law “the cancer weapon America needs most.” All 50 states now run registries to help cancer researchers gain important insights.
-November 1993: Sanders votes against the Clinton-era North American Free Trade Agreement. Returning from a tour of factories in Mexico, Sanders says: “If NAFTA passes, corporate profits will soar because it will be even easier than now for American companies to flee to Mexico and hire workers there for starvation wages.”
-July 1996: Sanders is one of only 67 (out of 435, 15%) votes against the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to same-sex couples legally married. Sanders urged the Supreme Court to throw out the law, which it did in a landmark 2013 ruling – some 17 years later.
-July 1999: Standing up against the major pharmaceutical companies, Sanders becomes the first member of Congress to personally take seniors across the border to Canada to buy lower-cost prescription drugs. The congressman continues his bus trips to Canada with a group of breast cancer patients the following April.These brave women are able to purchase their medications in Canada for almost one-tenth the price charged in the States.
-August 1999: An overflow crowd of Vermonters packs a St. Michael’s College town hall meeting hosted by Sanders to protest an IBM plan to cut older workers’ pensions by as much as 50 percent. CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and The New York Times cover the event. After IBM enacts the plan, Sanders works to reverse the cuts, passing a pair of amendments to prohibit the federal government from acting to overturn a federal district court decision that ruled that IBM’s plan violated pension age discrimination laws. Thanks to Sanders’ efforts, IBM agreed to a $320 million legal settlement with some 130,000 IBM workers and retirees.
-November 1999: About 10 years before the 2008 Wall Street crash spins the world economy into a massive recession, Sanders votes “no” on a bill to undo decades of financial regulations enacted after the Great Depression.“This legislation,” he predicts at the time, “will lead to fewer banks and financial service providers, increased charges and fees for individual consumers and small businesses, diminished credit for rural America and taxpayer exposure to potential losses should a financial conglomerate fail. It will lead to more mega-mergers, a small number of corporations dominating the financial service industry and further concentration of power in our country.” The House passed the bill 362-57 over Sanders’ objection.
-October 2001: Sanders votes against the USA Patriot Act.“All of us want to protect the American people from terrorist attacks, but in a way that does not undermine basic freedoms,” Sanders says at the time. He subsequently votes against reauthorizing the law in 2006 and 2011.
-October 2002: Sanders votes against the Bush-Cheney war in Iraq. He warns at the time that an invasion could “result in anti-Americanism, instability and more terrorism.” Hillary Clinton votes in favor of it.
-December 2007: Sanders’ authored energy efficiency and conservation grant program passes into law. He later secures $3.2 billion in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the grant program.
-September 2008: Thanks to Sanders’ efforts, funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding doubles, helping millions of low-income Americans heat their homes in winter.

-December 2009: Sanders passes language in the Affordable Care Act to allow states to apply for waivers to implement pilot health care systems by 2017. The legislation allows states to adopt more comprehensive systems to cover more people at lower costs.
-March 2010: President Barack Obama signs into law the Affordable Care Act with a major Sanders provision to expand federally qualified community health centers. Sanders secures $12.5 billion in funding for the program which now serves more than 25 million Americans. Another $1.5 billion from a Sanders provision went to the National Health Service Corps for scholarships and loan repayment for doctors and nurses who practice in under-served communities.
-July 2010: Sanders works with Republican Congressman Ron Paul in the House to pass a measure as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill to audit the Federal Reserve,revealing how the independent agency gave $16 trillion in near zero-interest loans to big banks and businesses after the 2008 economic collapse.
-March 2013: Sanders, now chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, and backed by seniors, women, veterans, labor unions and disabled Americans, leads a successful effort to stop a “chained-CPI” proposal supported by Congressional Republicans and the Administration to cut Social Security and disabled veterans’ benefits.

-August 2014: A bipartisan $16.5 billion veterans bill written by Sen. Sanders, Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jeff Miller is signed into law by President Barack Obama. The measure includes $5 billion for the VA to hire more doctors and health professionals to meet growing demand for care.
-March 2015: Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced legislation to expand benefits and strengthen the retirement program for generations to come. The Social Security Expansion Act was filed on the same day Sanders and other senators received the petitions signed by 2 million Americans, gathered by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.
January 2016: Sanders Places Hold on FDA Nominee Dr. Robert Califf because of his close ties to the pharmaceutical industry and lack of commitment to lowering drug prices. There is no reason to believe that he would make the FDA work for ordinary Americans, rather than just the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies.
And all this even before he first run for presidency. Do you want me to continue?
