@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.

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.

No, I'm just not so deep in my emotions because I value critical thinking and actual justice.

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.

I think Trump haters know they’d have to dissapoint those they relate to who validate their feelings and perceptions if they had to acknowledge Trump’s humanity. To change my perspective and values, I had to lose a few friends, a potential date, and feel the distance I had between liberal women I dated because of the cultural and political divide. It usually starts that way. You have to lose social connections, or see potential ones drift away in order to re-evualate your perceptions and values. We are mammals, after all.

Donald Trump is a kind, funny and strong-willed man who is doing more for America than anyone has done since I've been born. I thought Donald was a chump in 2016, but once woke ideology seeped like toxic mercury into American universities, and then American culture, I realized I'd been severely duped by group-think, fragile feelings, excess empathy and victimhood.

I'm sorry this is slightly off-topic, but I honestly cannot understand why people dislike Israel. What in the world are they supposed to do when there is a horrible terrorist group made up of men who were raised to be sociopaths who will do anything to destroy Israel and harm its people.

It's just common sense. A woman is an adult human female. Any other definition should be placed under "femininity." If we cannot define womanhood as the life experience of an adult human female, we are expecting everyone to say things like "biological woman" just to please the feelings of those who value gender identity. Gender identity is essentially a religion. It should not influence or change American laws.

Those who criticize Israel but are unwilling to condemn Hamas are fooling themselves.

I legit love Donny T.
