Ah, I now see exactly what you meant by posting it. Right, but to me that doesn't reflect that it is "closer to the true figure" (at least not intentionally) but rather due to the level of media coverage (both positive and negative) people think it is a much higher percentage than it actually...

That article doesn't support the statistic of 30% at all! It says that "U.S. adults, on average, estimate that 25 percent of Americans are gay or lesbian", but then goes on to say only 4% of those surveyed in 2011 guessed in the correct band of "Under 5%" Sure, I imagine it is probably higher...

No worries, in the middle of exams myself, no time for anything. Well that's it then, bigger changes but fewer of them. Keeps the rate of change the same but doesn't leave everyone confused with where things stand. 5-10% isn't exactly SMALL, not in my mind anyway. It'd enough for a...

Difference is, this historically (and in the game universe) doesn't seem to make sense. If it made sense I'd have no problem with it, in fact I didn't even think about it from that angle until it was brought up and I was reminded/educated as to reasons it makes no sense. Mohawks allied with the...

Brit here. I was already a little disappointed with the choice of the American Civil War as the time period, (I mean, I guess it makes sense as a big event in history, but of ANY time period you could pick in history? I just consider the ACW a bit dull...) so was unsure if I was going to buy...

Actually I don't think religious reasons for being vegan got mentioned particularly, thanks for bringing them up. :) While he may be an ass about it, depending on your logic behind having a pet and not eating it, he might not really be wrong... Though please try to remember that vocal...

So basically, you hate carbs. Carbs are bad. That's what your arguement seems to boil down to? I'm simplifying because I've had enough long debates in the first 11 pages of this thread, and don't want to get into any more. I wrote 1 paragraph, you gave me 7. You want to debate with me this late...

Well maybe you are looking at the wrong studies, not my problem. Others exist, I'm sorry for you wasting your time looking at such obviously biased ones, but I assure you biased studies exist both ways. In regards to B12: 1) It's not my food, get your facts right. 2) Well we have different...

If you read my post again I think you'll see I didn't suggest replacing eating meat with grain, I said placing it with veg. To clarify, more than one type of vegetable as well. My point is, there are vegans and vegetarians who get by fine, eating a diet that is balanced using other sources, meat...

Comparing average meat-eater diet to the average vegan one? Yes, there are. No eating the crap that is commonly in meat. Not eating the large amount of saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease and cancer. Compared to the ideal meat-eater diet with good quality meat and a controlled...

Yes, conservation of energy means that it couldn't be less effective, and if people are getting on fine with the current level, they can only get on better with that. Besides, I said lowering, not eliminating. Eliminating grain-fed perhaps, doesn't eliminate all meat. People eat far more meat...

You forget that a large percentage of cattle is grain fed, using up 1/3 of the worlds grain production. So even then, it still results in more deaths. We need less farming, but lowering meat production would actually assist that, as its not being fed to the cow instead of people.

Well I guess we end up with similar, if not completely the same perspectives on this then. I don't believe that eating meat is inherently wrong, I just believe in a certain quality of life leading up to the point of eating. And as what is offered isn't up to the my standards, I don't want to...

Pigs have been proven to be smarter than dogs, so... Though pizza is the food of gods, and it's been a ***** to phase out pepperoni since I found that out. Captcha: pizza topping Ok, I never believe this until now, but captcha is getting ridiculous!

Ah, yes I gave it a quick look at saw something about fermenting, but I then figured that wasn't that far off digesting. They still get nutrients out of it, so that's the main thing I guess. I'm not suggesting you stoop to the level on intellegence of a cow, I'm saying, where do you draw the...
