None nowadays. I used to be a massive consumer of it when I was a teenager, but reading of the negative impacts milk has on health made me quit it. Consequently all my problems with acne disappeared soon after. I'd recommend all people to get off the stuff, it's loaded with all kinds of...

As a vegan, I can say that the key to understanding veganism, is investing the time to look into the issue yourself. I don't have several hours to write up all the arguments (though in short form, they are usually confined to three topics - Environment, Health and Ethics), so in stead I'll...

Humans don't need protein we need essential amino acids, all of which can easily be acquired from vegetable sources. If you eat meat, do inform yourself as to where your meat comes from, what the effects of eating it is, and don't avoid the facts, watch Earthlings...

The only reason I quote these people is to counter the dogma I've seen reading through this thread asserting that Vegans are somehow weird and somehow on the fringe of society. Some of the greatest thinkers, and great historical figures, are for animals rights. And yes, any perspective is...

Firstly, as a raw-vegan living primarily on a fruit based diet, my only concern in regards to other people and their nutritional intake is this, know the facts, and never ever EVER make a decision out of ignorance, especially if you have the opportunity to educate yourself as to the consequence...

Do trained killers deserve respect for what they do? Respect the people who propel society forward, and develop the world we live in, not those who are trained to take societies apart.

Spanking or hitting children is possibly the worst parenting tool that exists. There's a brilliant video on the subject done by Freedomain Radio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONNRfflggBg

Speaking as someone who has studied Economy at a top 50 university (world ranked), has a degree in the field of Economics, and is working towards his next one, let me tell you that the prime goal most economists seem to have, is to make Economy seem like something which is so hard to understand...

...for $8.5 billion! I sure hope it doesn't end up costing money, if so I'm going to use G-chat in stead. source [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQEZsxGQBIU&feature=feedu] Microsoft statement [http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2011/may11/05-10CorpNewsPR.mspx] SFgate article...

I do not have time at present to compile an individual response to each of the documents linked, but will give a quick impression that most of it is either old and/or the same stuff that always circulates among skeptics - nothing new under the sun. I will compile a fair response to each...

And while we're on the topic of actual consensus, let's not try to focus on single scientists? Especially ones cherry picked by the likes of the Heartland institute as speakers for their "climate discussions", or featured in the thoroughly debunked "The great global warming swindle" documentary...

I know, sad isn't it?

I find it hilarious reading all these nay-sayers' replies in this thread, basically talking like they're experts on the subject and none of them presenting any evidence for their claims. If you are actually interested in learning about global warming, I recommend going to Skeptical science...

Yes they do, any profit driven business, and especially Monsanto (one of the LARGEST companies dealing with GMO products in the world), skips on expensive testing if possible. Yes I do actually, far from enough [http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_16236.cfm]. They are more than...

I said the coal industry because the coal and oil industries are the ones spreading false information about the effectiveness of renewable energy [http://newenergynews.blogspot.com/2010/04/money-behind-anti-new-energy-propaganda.html], which many people believe in. A combination of all...
