OK so I feel like the people that think affirmative action is racist are missing a step in the logic behind it so lets break it down here real quick they are not getting things because of their race they are getting things because generally they are disadvantaged. Their race is typically what...

This is exactly why I asked why you defend it. You are assuming people jump on this harder because it is religious, while we got the data showing this is what is it. Yes I am against other forms of animal abuse. Skinning of critters before they are put down is bad as well. I dont like when...

Ok so here this is exactly what I'm getting at you don't actually care how the animal is killed you care that it's religious and that's the problem you are attacking religion through halal and kosher slaughter and that's just the wrong way to go about it. As far as slaughter methods go they just...

have you seen kosher and halal laws for the most part they're food sanitation rules it's my go to argument for why religion is social control half to control half to protect that's redundant now days. So far as it being an outdated method, it's really not bad it is quite quick and it hasn't...

not all cows are killed in this way, but yes you are right this is a good method ideally it should be universal but it isn't. it's not slow the article you link claims unconsciousness in 10-30 seconds and the detection of pain signals for up to 2 minutes pain signals does not equal pain just...

and stunning an animal with a bolt gun doesn't either, stunning is more about having the animal hold still than avoiding pain.

well if by carve you mean very quickly and cleanly and by slowly and painfully you mean swiftly and fairly painlessly I suppose you are correct and so far as not being humane for most of history that would have been the most humane and cleanest way

What do you think they do to the animal because like I pointed out earlier the method of slaughter is quite humane and the religious element basically comes down to facing the animal in a certain direction also for the vegetarians out there at what definition do you use for 'meat' would be...

So firstly, halal and kosher slaughter is not inhumane it's fairly quick (that 20 minutes claim is nonsense at best and hateful bigotry at worst) if done correctly the animal suffers very little (as in no more than other methods) just wanted to clear that up for you chaps (halal and kosher...

the thing being, what did people expect would happen? The repercussions of this being ignored just for the moment but he really was built up as THE enemy he wasn't just some mass murderer he was THE mass murderer it's not celebrating the death of a man it's really the death of a figurehead...

Yeah, I'm not sold on the idea of Australia there'd be interesting places to see post war although being over west they're probably all too far apart to be reasonably fit in but I think that's mostly out of being interested in seeing things set in a local area. So far as London I don't know why...

So I was wondering on your thoughts about whether a judicial system should base sentences on punishment or rehabilitation. discuss I'm headed off to bed and have nothing to do tomorrow so I figure post this get people to discuss and I have something mildly amusing to read tomorrow huzzah.

Lovecraft isn't pretentious, just horribly racist but yeah you may have to watch yourself reading Nietzsche you may become pretentious if you're not careful.

not doing anything and not doing anything vital are different, I vaguely remember learning what it actually did in human-bio, I could go grab my old notes if you would like?

Ok people to clarify, the marker that cause Sickle Cell you can have as homo or heterozygous if you have one marker for Sickle Cell but the other for normality you blood cells have a more curved shape this prevents malaria (something to do with the way it attaches to cells if I remember...
