The US relies on Saudi oil. Actually the US does not need Saudi oil. Yes, we do import from them, but we can easily replace them. We get almost 4x as much oil from Canada as we do from Saudi Arabia, by the way. http://www.eia.g

I want to use the term "vassal state" but even that is not very accurate. They seem to have more control over us than we do them. Our military needs their money to create and sustain critical jobs here and buy billions worth of mi

By arming the "rebels" (the Syrian govt calls them terrorists), the "western world" has already intervened. These type of "intervention" follows a pattern. 1. First we instigate an uprising by exploiting existi

I agree with you. These types of reporting will continue until Assad goes the way of Saddam and Muammar Gaddafi. That's been the goal from Day 1. If we really cared about stuff like this, we need to hear about what's going on in Y

But what they're really saying, though, is we don't know enough about the GMO foods to introduce them into our diets. That using us as guinea pigs is not a good idea.

Who cares if it's GMO? All food we eat is GMO. Sorry to break it to you, dude, but some people do care. And if all "food we eat is GMO", why are some labelled non-GMO and other, GMO?

Maybe they took it all down so they can "sanitize" them. Stranger things have happened.

If visiting the US becomes such a big hassle, have your friend visit you instead. If that happens enough, the tourism industry takes a hit. If this country does not want you to come and spend money here, go spend it somewhere else.

We also want people to be comfortable making these changes themselves, on their own time, without having to go to the help desk. The part of that that I don't agree with, is "on their own time". What if the change that need

If we spent less invading and rebuilding other countries, we'd have more than enough to take care of our less fortunate citizens. That will even reduce the number of the less fortunate from other countries, if you consider that a signi

In other words if your "ideas" are "alternative facts", don't act shocked if others disagree with you, even shout you down.

I worry he will drive us apart as a nation. I believed him when he said that would stop with the campaign, but I haven’t seen signs of it so far. So he fooled you, just like every other politician has done and will do. Blimey!

Definitely, not. The combination, or even both items separately, contains a ton of fiber. However, the result is contra to what's expected from eating such a food combination. Instead of making matters worse, like eating other beans (b

Don't laugh, but it was excessive flatus.

Why not? Black turtle bean (frijoles negros) and small red bean (frijoles rojos). 2 parts of the former and 1 part of the latter cooked together worked wonders for me.

"Patently false assertion"? Just a couple of quotes from the article that my assertion is based on fact. Experts say the region’s health crisis is primarily driven by a decades-long shift from traditional diets based on root crop

From personal experience, yes. I cured a congenital gastrointestinal condition simply by introducing a couple of food items into my diet. I wish somebody had told me about them when I was much younger.

did Samoa apply bans to unhealthy locally produced food too or just to unhealthy imported food? In general, countries like that don't have unhealthy, locally-produced food. And the article agrees with that assertion. We have a patent

I always wonder how a group of people can come together and made a bad decision. I mean, if one person makes a bad decision, you can say, OK, we all make mistakes, but a room full of smart? people...

Lead has a quantifiable effect that directly infringes on the rights of others -- eating junk food does not. Well, if you have to receive public assistance because of your bad eating habits, then that's a "quantifiable effect&qu

It's up to individuals to make decisions about what they do and do not eat and live with the consequences. True, but when that level of individual freedom has negative repercussions on the community, the government has to step in. El

In 2011, as a condition for joining, the World Trade Organization ordered Samoa to eliminate the ban within a year. Eliminate a policy designed for the betterment of the population! So that's one of the aims of the WTO, to promote co

I'm in the early stages of starting a startup, but I think if people focus on whether a decision being made is good/bad for the company rather than who's in charge, things would be a lot easier.
