I'll echo what I said elsewhere in this thread. When it comes to this topic, reality is irrelevant. FBI crime statistics are entirely unimportant in this discussion. What is important is that you understand, accept, and modify your beha

The standard conspiracy theory is that flu vaccines give you autism and allow the government to read your thoughts. They also are a grand experiment by the Greys to colonize us by weakening our immune systems. Let me know if I left anythi

You're attributing to staging what can be adequately explained by reality. See: the myriad women tweeting about how they would love to get beaten up by Chris Brown. For better or for worse, being the bad boy "works". And it works extraordi

Nope. Throughout the relevant 70 year timespan, Coke was priced in an environment of first, the gold standard, and second, Bretton Woods. The USD was not fully disconnected from gold until 1971, which is after the timespan the article tal
