And the beat goes on...
So if I see you being attacked I should just assume its your own business and walk away?
No, because in that case the attack is happening, as the GP said, in your location. He explicitly stated that the people in the area where the attacks are occurring should respond.
Why are you pretending you don't understand the point?
yes they are "literally" advancing their cause
... and you are figuratively moving the goalposts. "Advancing their cause" is not the same thing as "working for". If you literally work for someone, that means you take direction from them, and are paid for your efforts.
I disagree. I can literally work for a political candidate, without either taking direction from him, or getting paid. Also, you did say, "and are paid for your efforts", which would mean you think unpaid interns don't work for the companies who give them internships.
The real culprit here is the English language, which is not very precise. I think you're counting on a certainty that's not present.
Obviously it isn't the whole law: wood has quite a lot of calories and burns nicely in a stove. But try getting fat from eating sawdust.
What, nobody told you what that "filler" is in all those foods imported from China?
I thought the filler was melamine. Or lead.
The whole point is many skinny people violate this law but do not get obese.
No, they don't. If they did somehow take in more calories then they put out without gaining weight they would be destroying matter and energy, which is physically impossible in our universe. Our bodies are not some magical boxes where the laws of physics suddenly stop applying.
Um, no, you're wrong. One possibility is that their bodies excrete a higher percentage of the food they take in without metabolizing it. No magic involved.
I think you have a too simplistic view of human bodies. They are not machines that perfectly process whatever is put into them.
it's easy to test this hypothesis.
kill all gut bacteria from fat people and see if they thin in some cases.
and since in the usa almost everyone takes massive doses of antibiotics for even bad hair day, i think this is debunked with readily available data already.
I volunteer you for this study.
Can you name a single primarily psychopathic society to provide even anecdotal experimental evidence for your claim? Theory is nice and all, but is notoriously inapplicable to human behavior.
I am not at all providing this as any evidence for the GP's claim, I'm just mentioning one of my favorite books by Frank Herbert; "The Dosadi Experiment". A planet full of sociopaths makes for a dangerous environment.
Who the hell decided to call something "Dell Venue 8 7000"? You don't put two numbers one after another, it's just stupid!
Time to fire the marketing guys!
You're posting about it, so I guess the marketing guys earned their pay on this one. Sure, you can say, "but, but I'm pointing out how stupid that is!"
Makes no difference; you already made the contribution that they wanted from you. For free.
Any form of life that is smart enough to go faster than the speed of light would view us something like the way we view bacteria.
I'm continually astonished at the assumptions people make with absolutely no data whatsoever.
