All people are basically the same inside. To prove this requires nothing more than a potato peeler.

There is a double standard on accusations of double standards in America.

If human beings ever come across another humanlike species they think they can dominate they'll do it.

You've said the same thing, only much more efficiently.

Yeah. He kind of has that whole efficiency thing down to a tee:P

Agreed.

Almost any use of the label "Political Correctness" is just another attempt to get away with bad manners by ridiculing politeness and consideration.

Everyone is at least a little bit racist and sexist.

Our culture ought to be in the process of reassuring men that they don't have to act like they stepped out of a beer commercial.

English spelling is in need of simplification.

Anyone who argues that we must preserve existing spellings in English so we can see the history of words is talking bunk because they cannot explain why basic spelling history is never taught in the classroom.

Everyone should eat meat no more than five times a week. The resources used to make the protein for one meat meal can also be used to make the protein for twelve vegetarian meals.

Not enough is being done to promote vegetarian cuisine.

Maggots, leeches and intestinal worms will play a bigger role in medicine in the future.

Steam power is a viable propulsion technology for vehicles. Governments don't like steam-powered vehicles because steam power is not particular about its energy source and therefore steam-powered vehicles can run on any combustible material that is put in the tank. This makes it harder to tax them.

Not true. A given amount of land can provide complete vegetable protein for 12 people or meat protein for one person. The protein content in each meal is the same, but the vegetarian protein option supports more people.

Most of the energy in food goes to maintaining the metabolism of the animal that eats it and is dissipated as heat. Only a small proportion of the food goes to make the body of the animal so it can in turn be eaten by another. The millions of wildebeest in the Serengeti do not support a population of millions of lions and hyenas for exactly this reason. In any balanced ecosystem, the prey outnumber the predators.

Companies that make websites that can only run in Internet Explorer will eventually learn that telling 15% of their potential customers to "f*** off" will find their sales reduced proportionately.
