Is it okay to ask what makes Trump a bad person? If not, please disregard. -

Could you clarify what you mean by "violent illegal immigrants" and "stole the land," and how these terms apply to the historical context of colonization, considering the complexities of that era? Could you elaborate on what point you were emphasizing by contrasting historical colonial actions with contemporary immigration issues? -

Racist much? -

Honestly, who wouldn't want people to stop throwing stones at ICE/Law Enforcement? Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous to support illegal immigration. -
@integral I'm willing to be wrong if you can explain why, that's why I'm asking pertinent questions.

@NewKidOnTheBlock Why would using supplements be a "cope?" What would make plant food nutritionally inferior and less bioavailable?
-
@integral Oh, I didn't know you were the arbiter of objective truth.

@NewKidOnTheBlock A balanced vegan diet provides adequate and complete protein from mainly legumes, grains and nuts; leafy greens and fortified foods provide adequate iron; creatine can be synthesized by the body or supplemented; and omega-3s are available in flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and algae-based supplements.

@integral What is in animal products that we cannot get from plants? What is unhealthy about eating a well-planned and balanced, plant-exclusive diet? Or, what is less healthy about the diet just mentioned compared to a nonvegan one that usually has significantly less fiber? What about someone's genetics or microbiome makes it so that they have to have fiberless animal products in order to absorb what plants have anyways? Thanks for responding.

Someone's ability to go and stay vegan for ethical reasons says a lot about them. It says they're able to let go of their comfort in feeling more socially-accepted, the convenience of having many more options at the store or while eating out, or not having to worry about finding a vegan to date or trying to gently convince a date you see a future with to embrace veganism. I would say most folks reject veganism because it means letting go of things that have to do with energy conservation (our ego's resistance to change), disappointing others ("sorry bro, we can't go get wings anymore"), and of course the judgment of others, which many don't care to detach from by increasing self-love and understanding. Until a certain percentage of the population reaches the tipping point for the rest of the population to follow suit and go vegan, we will use every damn excuse we can to resist what is a moral imperative for nonhuman animals: veganism, or not using animals and not purchasing/consuming animal products. It's because most of us eat from animals are nearly every single meal. It's a big convenience that the stubborn human ego is very good at resisting. Without friends and family pushing us to change, why would we?

How so? -

I have read more into the Daddy Poof case than Russell Sports Brand’s. I would say innocent for Brand at gun point, purely because I know nothing about it. I wouldn’t be proud of it at all. -

I love you, too. -
carterfelder replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I have more important things on my To Do List. I would love to look into the cases, but there are more important things. If Brand is found guilty in court, he should be punished. It's not very nice to go around telling people they don't have the courage or capacity to look deeply into something. I would say everyone has the courage and capacity, even if they didn't. Encouragement is a good thing. -

Arabia, a gun was to my head. My point was that I was being forced to judge his case within seconds. -

We shouldn't make assumptions, especially about people we've never met. But then again, if we run off of our emotions, that's what tends to happen. -
carterfelder replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
No, I'm just not so deep in my emotions because I value critical thinking and actual justice. -
carterfelder replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I've always found Brand to be obnoxious, but he is human, and I do my best to assume innocence until it's proven otherwise in court. For example, I haven't read deeply enough into the Puff Daddy case, but if I had a gun to my head I would say he's guilty. Otherwise, even for Punani Diddy, I support his right to defend himself in court. -

A semi-formal accusation? -

Isn't a charge an accusation? -

Innocence until proven otherwise -
I encourage everyone to embrace their unchangeable sex, express themselves in a way that is consistent with their biology (e.g. men have 300–1,000 ng/dL testosterone, women have 15–70 ng/dL), and to embrace social roles that encourage attraction, love and balance in relationships, which help to create harmony in the family unit (thanks mom and dad). Transgender Ideology/Gender Identity is a belief system for the weak, frustrated and sometimes angry who want to be seen and acknowledged without doing the hard work to get the attention and/or relationships they ultimately desire.

In my opinion, the strong political division took off when the media excitedly and selectively emphasized Donald’s “good people on both sides” statement in 2017 about the Unite the Right rally/riot in Charlottesville, VA (where I live). The problem was never Donald, it was political correctness and “social justice.”

Transgender ideology hate, or transgender people hate? -

Rogan loves to interview “controversial” folks. Thank God for that.
