Contrary to your argument, those who receive the chickenpox vaccine seem to have proven to have a lower risk of shingles (scroll to "Risk Factors"). Stop posting lies and deceit.
There is also something particular to Chicken Pox which makes the vaccine even less desirable: length of immunity. If you actually catch Chicken Pox you get immunity for life. However if you vaccinate against it you need to continuously remember to get boosters - I believe currently every 10 or 20 years - otherwise your immunity may lapse. What is bad about this is that Chicken Pox for adults is known as Shingles which is far nastier than Chicken Pox. So in this case taking the vaccine to protect against a very mild childhood disease may lead to an increased chance of a more serious disease later in life...unless you set a 20 year alarm so you never forget a booster shot!
You're full of shit too. You speak as though getting chickenpox will prevent shingles which it won't and there's other things that you have claimed that I find to be...less than accurate but don't have the time to find sources so I won't claim them.
Mind you, this doesn't speak for the third world (where firewood for heat and cooking is an actual thing, farming is a growth industry, not to mention the exotic hardwood cutting), and definitely doesn't speak for Europe and Asia (where the former has few forests left, and the latter is largely ignored and therefore unregulated for the most part).
Bob Taylor has done some wonderful work in making the "exotic hardwood cutting" sustainable. It's incredible what would happen before.
who is the man anyhow?
it's time we start asking the questions that matter
Why does the ESRB matter so much to you? I haven't looked at ESRB ratings since, well, since my parents stopped caring in the 90s...

It's less like having a cop reading information you have put up on a flyer and more like the cops having wiretaps on all of your associates. Which would be fine, with a good reason and a court order.
Since when does facebook offer a reasonable expectation of privacy? If you don't want it to be public, it shouldn't be on facebook.
Movies are where the good sound is. Uncompressed, high fideliety, etc. The good sound system in the home is the home theater.
Movies still have audio compression, but it's higher fidelity than most audio streams people listen to. Blu Ray offers 2-3 lossless formats, but, unless we're looking at a concert Blu Ray or something, I would be surprised to find that they're using those codecs.
He didn't give us the loudness wars. Mix engineers have very little to do with the loudness wars. Here's an example (yes, again, the irony of using YouTube for examples such as these is not lost on me), using an album that Scheps was recording engineer and mix engineer on, where the levels are drastically different due to the different mastering engineers.
Mastering is a difficult process, but for about 15-20 years, the sole goal has seemed to be to keep the "volume" the same from one track to the next, and make sure that it's as loud as possible. I still blame the multi-disc CD changers for the real kick off of the loudness wars.
Being an audio engineer, it pains me that this is considered good enough. That being said, my response was spurred because, in the post I replied to, you referred to it as HD audio. If what you get off YouTube (even in HD video) is considered HD audio, then iTunes has been selling people the equivalent of 4k ever since they did iTunes Plus.
As far as loudness wars are concerned, we've passed the peak of the wars imho. Albums are getting released with consideration for dynamics these days. I still look for an album mastered for vinyl because the lathe just can't handle the loudness that a lot of modern albums come out at.
Rather odd we're even worried about piracy anyway when likely every single one of the top 100 songs is also posted on YouTube, in full streaming HD audio and video.
You clearly do not know what HD audio is, YouTube doesn't even qualify as decent audio. Very good explanation from an audio engineer (ironically, found on youtube) is right here
