Any science with a 6% to 85% chance of being accurate (not a margin of error, but chance of actually existing) doesn't sound very reliable to me. Genetics will have an effect on weight but simple physics can't really be ignored here - energy in, energy out. Someone that exercises a lot, using a lot of energy, and doesn't eat much isn't going to be overweight because there isn't any spare energy to convert into fat.

Conversely, someone that takes in a lot of high energy food and doesn't exercise will in all likelihood build up fat. I know it's a more complicated picture but at the end of the day energy is going into an overweight person's body and it's not being used.

Oh, it lacks the only thing that makes slashdot interesting you mean?

Say what you like about slashdot but they've an excellent hands-off policy when it comes to discussions about whatever, that can be relied upon. The same can't be said for your "alternatives".

Please mod this and the parent post as offtopic, thanks.

Hardly. It sounds to me a lot more like someone's trying to drum up a moral panic about "hate speech" and "discrimination" online.

Besides, have the authors factored in facebook's enormous ongoing social experiments with their userbase?

Go ahead and ask the average person in Eastern Europe what they think about marxism and they won't be long setting you very straight indeed, tms. But of course they weren't doing it right were they. Nobody seems to do it right, despite millions dying. Odd, that.

Bwahaha you slackjawed imbecile, you realise you've just described the actual outcomes of everything marxist?

For reals, over 100 million people would like a word. And they seem a bit pissed.

Possibly just maybe your polisci 101 lecturer wasn't giving you an honest education, dipshit.

Food for thought.

It is if they're willing to play it smart enough.

I mean you didn't think that computer you're typing on was so cheap because the manufacturers decided to give you a winning personality discount, did you?

Also I'd advise anyone whining about monopolies to take a good long look at the standard contracts existing publishers make authors sign, as we're on the subject.

What praytell is preventing them from starting their own Amazons? It's not like they're short of a few bucks. Although to be honest I expect the ultimate fallout from this conflict to be writers circumventing publishers entirely and just working with editors and artists directly.

Time to compete.

Oh and by the way, welcome to capitalism.

Oh look, a feminist shooting the messenger. Quelle surprise.

Going really fucking fast is an end unto itself, my friend!

Turns out that's a steaming pile, who knew eh. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Get back to me when they can supercavitate.

Yeah I mean I've only posted this three or four times in the story already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

UFOs actually exist. Yes, they do. Not to say that they are aliens but there's a long and well documented history of flying objects we can't identify.

So how about we spend a few generations stamping out atttitudes like yours and then we can view the world as it really is.

So you didn't even bother looking it up. That tells me all I need to know you intellectual goatse! Don't let any flies in there, I believe there may be adverse short to mid term consequences!
