Milk is bad for you

[Foxi4]

AFAIK, there are many problems with nukes.
Only looking at the strategic value of nukes, you can say that by themselves they are more of a hindrance than a deterrent.
By just having nukes you justify other countries to use nukes against you, and then comes the real problem.
Nukes are only a useful deterrent if you have an effective system to deploy them, that implies strong, advanced ever improving missile technology, a strong navy/submarine force and air force.
Also the effectiveness of yours and the others systems is affected by having advanced SAMs, radar, satellite and intelligence.
In the end, for your nuke to be useful to deter anybody else, you need to put a lot of money into developing a myriad of related technologies and maintaining up-to-date active missile sites, militar machinery and on duty forces.
Only economy or resource powerhouses like USA, Russia or China can really afford the luxury of throwing so much money into the garbage can instead of using it into more everyday issues like health, education and quality of life. IMHO.

I disagree. Just the fact that you have warheads means that you can perform a retaliatory strike - if not directly at the attacker then at one of the allies, and even a shot down warhead creates a nuclear waste radius, akin to a dirty bomb. Nobody wants to deal with that mess, thus nobody will ever press the button. You're basically arguing that a country shouldn't have a military force because it can be considered provocative, for instance in scale or area of deployment - that's asinine.

Actually, I argue that there are better ways and more urgent needs for you to invest your budget.
Playing cat and mouse in war technology and devouring so precious limited resources in something that doesn't really improve the way and quality of life of people in the world is senseless to me.

It matters where your food comes from. And what it is. As for potential harms, after decades of the trans fat misinformation debacle, I think it is wise to avoid all processed foods. Unfortunately, unless you happen to live near that almost extinct species "family farm," it is probably impossible.

Science's ability to self-correct is often shouted down, delayed, or bought off by corporados and medicine show con artists. Science is industry's bitch. The company, FDA, EMA, WMT whatever doesn't love you. It loves its bottom line and nothing else. Read Sonia Shah or Paul Farmer.... But hell, with 10,000+ nuclear weapons still in the world and less than 100 required to destroy global civilization, Pschitt-food is the least of our problems.

"Science often makes mistakes" is not a proper argument. And that's because you can't prove that it's mistaken in this case. If we believed that "science could be mistaken" in every situation of our lives, we wouldn't be using computers, Nintendo consoles, and everything else that makes up our lives in 2016.

It improves people's quality of life by ensuring that their weddings won't be interrupted by drone attacks. One nuke has more power as a negotiation token in politics than thousands of tanks and it's cheaper than developing a cutting edge army, navy, airforce and assorted deployment techniques and technology. Nobody will ever wage war against a country with a nuclear arsenal because the risk outweighs any possible benefits - the risk being f*cking up the planet with a rain of nukes.

One of my favorite shows. I'm glad you posted that. That was a good skit and the same thing I thought when I read that post.

I'm not continuing to the topic. I just started reading this thread and commented on @DiscostewSM 's link. Awesome show if you haven't seen it.

Edit: I will add one thing. Still not really topic related, but it seems needed from what I've read so far. @Ssssuper, your experience with the other members in this thread would have been alot smoother if you weren't such a prick. Aside from the pretentious demeanor you have, most people would have debated with you in a relatively respectful manner if not for your overly defensive and down right rude posts. You can't open a debate and then tell people they have no right to respond because you don't like their opinion. You can have your beliefs based on whatever study or opinion you have. But you cannot disrespect people because they disagree with you. I understand how disappointed you must be that your recruitment failed. But please try to be a better human being. Pro tip, that means how you treat others, not how gratified you are from your pretentious lifestyle. Human, not Elitist.

I am honestly happy to see Milk thread is still going strong!

 

[Touko White]

what do you expect with all the homogenisation and pasteurisation shit too

 

[FAST6191]

What is possibly wrong with pasteurisation? It is a centuries old and proven bacteria killing process, nothing more. Homogenisation is not ideal for some taste things but is not like it changes the underlying nutritional values unless you are inclined to skim your own milk.

The milk lives on...

 

[quackstar84]

You know I have wondered with me feeling as if I have a mild type of chronic fatigue syndrome is related to milk. I really love the stuff and would find it hard to cut it out of my life. I guess I should try rice milk and the rest... Soya milk wasn't much fun thought.

You must have missed the anti vaccination thread. Good times there.

Is it really bumping when the previous post appeared after I went out for the day and I replied when I got back that night?
