The vast majority of geniuses throughout history have all been meat eaters except some from India.
This argument holds no grounds as a large majority of the population in general have been meat eaters. Out of all the geniuses possible, will you not agree that some of the most influential geniuses of all time have been vegan / vegetarian?: And yes, almost everyone that is a vegetarian or vegan start out as a meat eater but found information that diverted them away from it. Einstein - Theory of Relativity. Had the most groundbreaking discovery of the 20th century. Isaac Newton - Created Calculus and Founded Physics. He is considered the father of Physics, the father of Calculus, the Father of Modern Medicine, and even the Father of Modern Science. Nikola Tesla - Invented the radio and Alternating Current. Has a cult following that many of his inventions were stolen. Gandhi - Civil Rights Movement Buddha - Founded Buddhism Steve Jobs - Created Apple Ramanujan - Genius mathematician. Edward Wittin - Einstein's successor and foremost string theorist Brian Greene - Genius who refuted Einstein's theory that space could stretch but not tear. Rosa Parks Thomas Edison Benjamin Franklin Prince Mike Tyson Forest Whitaker Natalie Portman George Bernard Shaw Leonardo Da Vinci Leo Tolstoy Cesar Chavez Russell Brand Carl Lewis Paul McCartney Bree Olson Alicia Silverstone John Harvey Kellogg, etc. Q: Why do you think so many of the greatest geniuses have been vegetarian?
Greene: From my limited experience, vegetarians typically are people who are willing to challenge the usual, accepted order of things. Moreover, they’re often people willing to sacrifice their own pleasures in pursuit of what they believe is right. These same qualities are often what’s needed to make great breakthroughs in the arts and sciences.
There are so many influential geniuses who have been Vegan / Vegetarian like Ellen Degeneres and the Dalai Lama. Even Hitler was a Vegetarian. These guys were all open minded and challenged the culture they were born in. Unlike you trolls. Also, you will probably just say everything I said here is BS, which is why it's pointless to argue with you guys. This is how atheists feel when they are arguing against Christians: You can't win, even though you are right every time. You just literally ruined the legitimacy of all your sources and "facts" when you suggested that Hitler was a vegetarian. It's just a common misunderstanding / myth, and you got records of him consuming meat before WW2, being a soldier in WW1, etc. Boom. Mind. Blown. |

And has anyone raised the issue that if everyone went vegetarian in the world and we stopped meat production with farms and such we would run out of phosphor which we need to provide the population with vegetarian food by 2035~ (source forgotten but feel free to google it)?
This is not an issue. Because there's a huge margin between the current situation, and all the world becoming vegetarian; that's litteraly impossible. And actually, most of the phosphorus we use is mined from calcium phosphate rocks. And there's phosphorus in all cell membranes, wether they come from animals or plants. I recommend the BBC documentary "How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth?" if you wanna learn about how much cultivation is ruining our planet. You can't blame the meat industry for everything, just saying'. The animals we eat have to be fed to grow; the vast majority of soy and corn produced in the USA goes to feed livestock. And like I said earlier, we need to feed an animal 10 times more in term of soy, than if we ate the soy ourselves, to get the same amount of calory. Too bad Soy proteins can't be compared to protein from meats as Soy contains estrogen-like substances. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/eating-soy-increase-estrogen-production-2870.htmlhttp://www.cancercouncil.com.au/22342/cancer-information/cancer-risk-and-prevention/healthy-weight-diet-and-exercise/soy-foods/Neeext. |

Has anyone actually been able to provide a legit and good argument why you should not eat meat? And no, I'm not asking why veganism is good, and I don't care about it, I just wanna know what's BAD with eating meat. And no bullshit "it's bad for you", constructive arguments.
There's no definitive answer to that, since it is subjective. Common reasons not to eat meat include: 1- Ethical reasons; when someone does not believe that killing animals is an OK thing to do when there are plenty of alternatives to eat. 2- Health reasons; many people like OP do feel more energetic and less blotted after switching to a vegetarian diet. 3- Environmental and economical reasons; it takes about 10 times more ressource (plants and water) to get one calory of meat, than if someone directly eats one plant-based calory. Also, factory farming litteraly releases a huge amount of crap in our soils, and some have concerns about that polluting the water we drink. Sigh. You are talking to closed minded people here. A lot of them are trolls too. Even if you give them a good argument and they know they are wrong, they will make things up that don't make sense to make them think they're right. They will ask you simple questions that are extremely easy to answer. They ask such simple questions like: "Why is it wrong to eat animals but not plants?" or "What's so bad about meat?" Even when you answer their questions correctly, they will probably not even read it and will reply back with a response that makes no sense. This is why this chart makes sense:  Now back to topic, like I said, people are free to chose what they want to eat and that should be respected, but from there to say being a vegetarian, or an atheism makes have a better IQ is like I said before idiotic
Vegetarians more intelligent than meat eaters: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201005/why-vegetarians-are-more-intelligent-meat-eatersHigh IQ Children more likely to become vegetarian: http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/DietNutrition/4721High IQ Linked to being Vegetarian: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6180753.stmHahahahahhaha. What a typical Common Joe moron getting fooled by headlines like "research shows that BLABLABLA". Studies were made on sub 10 000 people, and you call their results facts. You're ridiculous, and the point you're trying to make is wrong. Boom. Deal with it. No comeback required, you know you're wrong. |

Angry christians in 3…2…1...
Lol, Eventually people will be using this argument in evolution debates. And you think the christians will be ok with that? Because they've accepted the evolution theories and such with such an amazing grace. lool. Eventually we will realize how stupid it all is (I hope). Oh yes I hope so too, but I doubt it'll be within our lifetime, sadly. I'm making a YouTube series that will be something like Ancient Aliens with no aliens, and more Mind blowing. I already have over 80 videos planned, and they are all about what religion has forgotten. That sounds really cool. To be fair though I like Ancient Aliens! It's all crazy, but very entertaining. |

Go to scam accusations and make a thread about it there instead. Provide proof, be constructive and mature.

Which has strict rule about posting ritz or stunna? Why? It shouldn't matter unless you're going to be spamming. If you post rubbish you'll likely have your posts reported and maybe even banned. Some of my reply are short some are long. I don't know which were counted. It has nothing to do with spamming. Length isn't really the issue. Someone may have asked a question that can be answered in one word or a short phrase, and that is okay. MOST of the posts on boards such as this are one-liners; there is a difference between that and a "me too!" post. Indeed. People who are asking about the rules are generally worried about the quality of their posts. Therefore there's no word minimum rule in these campaigns. If you're asked a yes/no question, of course you can answer with a word. If you however, without contributing to the discussion in a thread, quote someone and add a "i agree" or "+1", or simply reply to the thread with "interesting" or "cool", it's obviously to build post count, as is not accepted by either the mods or the people running the campaigns. |

Multibit vs. Electrum...which are you guys preferring? Any major reasons?
Multibit, because it's the one I'm used to I guess. Looks nice, don't have any reasons based on technical specifications though. |

A lot of Americans just don't seem to want free healthcare and/or like to blame Obama for everything.
The problem is that the healthcare is not free. And the tax payers are paying a huge price for it. Compare the Romneycare to the Obamacare and you'll see how better it was. Well most countries are in debt. Is China in zero debt?
Even better. Think. Taxpayers pay for police and army too. Why do people seem to be ok with that but not healthcare? Americans seem to think socialism is evil. It's better and cheaper when everyone puts in and society benefits. Don't believe someone that throw you in jail if you don't give him your money; the politicians create wars with the help of the fiat system and always promise free stuff, peace and public schools but deliver wars, debt (the collateral is your children's and unborn future revenue) and coccuption Thread will the price reachs 1,000,000USD https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=537916.0Hahahahahahahah. The US is getting very socialist The US is getting very socialist. Come back when you have free healthcare. |

Hi Ritz, I registered on this campaign last month on March 20, 2014 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=499007.msg5805585#msg5805585) and was paid for that 10 days. After that I did not mention the re-enrollment as it was stated to be automated. Do I need to do anything else to be paid for this month, i.e. April, 2014 ? Thanks, Bitcoin Dream If you reached 50 posts during April you'll be paid at the 1st of May, given you don't remove your signature! |
