Even at that number its something like 55%, so not sure what you mean by "the other guys don't stand a chance".

You don't understand the odds. The line for Democratic vs. Republican candidate to win odds is actually something like -110 and -120 respectively, so vegas thinks its just over 50% for the Republican candidate. Biden is +450 (Sanders and Warren have similiar odds) because he has to beat all the other democrats plus Trump. I think it depends largely on the economy. If there is a recession before election time, I think Democrats have a good chance.

I think the first aliens we find will be very simple micro organisms within our solar system. The possibilities are obviously endless though.

Just curious...

Yes, from Ukraine. That is the entire basis of the impeachment.*(I meant the 2020 election in case Biden was his opponent) I think it was a good idea to pursue impeachment, yet the Democratic team seemed more inept in the courtroom than the Republicans and probably made some mistakes along the way. I'm sure if Hillary was President, her actions would be more closely scrutinized. I don't trust Hillary any more than I do Trump. You could be right in regards to the conspiracy theory, but that doesn't seem like a good strategy since there doesn't seem to be any other good democratic candidate right now.

I think one could say that now - after most of the witnesses and evidence came out a couple weeks ago. There was no bombshell testimony that the Democrats were seeking, although if you watched the inquiry, there was plenty of circumstantial evidence which made it clear that Trump was attempting to use foreign assistance to help him in the elections. The problem is Trump blocked most of the witnesses and evidence that would have made the case more clear to the public. Maybe it will cause politicians to be more careful in the future, so that could be one positive effect. BTW, the phone call actually happened this year, a few months after Biden announced his run for President.

Can you provide specifics? I like Sanders as the Dem nominee, but why do you think Bloomberg has no chance? I think his policies might resonate with the average joe, as compared to some of the more extreme democratic health care plans.

Because of necessity. Lifespan of a vegan is longer than a non-vegan. Why do you prefer more energy for yourself in lieu of many animals life? People have been believing in the bible for 2 thousand years. Slavery was accepted for thousands of years. Is that the foundation of your argument??? That we shouldn't change what we have been doing for a long time?

LO fn L..... You eat animals for energy but call someone else irresponsible and misleading. If anyone is misleading, its you. Quit cherry picking morals...

What is the difference?

Michael Vick = Helps Set up dogfighting ring/some dogs die Many other meat eaters="Put Vick in prison", Eat other animals with disregard of where their meat came from

..

Agreed

There are some vegan yogurts, but can be a little chalky. Honestly, both probably aren't as tasty as their dairy counterparts.

Not trying to pick on what you said, but many might have the same argument. So just trying to go one-by-one....I don't know how this is relevant....Like what does "raised" with the purpose to be stock mean exactly. Why does it matter if some human determines it is a pet or not? I'm pretty sure the pig would want to be a pet if someone with that mentality owned him. So if you had twin babies, and determined one boy would be the family jewel/lawyer, etc, and the other would the house cleaner, would that be ok to do that?

Yeah so true. Was just thinking, what if there was a species half-way in between chimpanzee and humans. Where would the cutoff be? Like if you list had a chart with all species listed across, with a question of what is ok to eat or not to eat, what would the cutoff be? Ok to murder/eat? Yes or no and why? Cow Pig Chicken Dog Cat Chimpanzee HumanChimp (fictitious) Human

To try to be fair...someone could say "what is the difference of the murder of humans vs the murder of insects", and i probably wouldn't have a good answer. In my mind, that answer could be that it might be something the next several generations need to figure out after animal rights are restored. Survival, I understand to a degree. Someone like Leo who eats animals for extra energy I also understand because he gives more back in worth to humanity than most others

Just depends on the person. I know a few people that are addicted to work and have put in 60-80 hours a week for many years. For others, that amount of work would put someone in the grave after a year or two.

What is the difference between slavery and eating meat? Both are used to benefit the self...there are alternatives to both. I agree that not eating meat could possibly reduce energy and knock a couple years off ones life. This is much like having slaves that add wealth and in turn health/lifespan to ones life. I've probably eaten more meat than most in the thread, so definitely not judging, just asking...

Just playing devils advocate here, but if setting up deadly dog fights in your backyard somehow gives you more energy because thats what makes you tick, and in turn gives you a few more years on your life...is it any different?

I think you are 100% right. No way we could do the many thousands of different things that other animals could do, yet we put our abilities above theirs. Just self-biased. Humans need to gel together more, before the mass of people realize what you are saying.

This is from a popular online sportsbook-I had to laugh at this. Will Trump Tweet Any Of George Carlin’s 7 Dirty Words Before Jan. 1, 2020? Winner No-1000 Yes+550

What??? Most children in this country are separated because of drug/alcohol addiction or mental issues that the parents have. People that come here illegally have a lot of drive and determination in order to make things better for their families because it was so bad where they came from. If they were addicted to drugs or have mental problems, migrating is one of their last concerns.

Do you think sexual orientation should be equal to those(sex, religion, race,age) or no? I'm not talking about law.

So if a religion discriminated against black people and their schools didn't hire them, would that be any different?
