Friendly debates can be a healthy thing. Angry, heated, bitter arguments? Yeah, I'd argue they aren't too great for your mental health.

As someone who went through the NY public school system many years ago, I can confirm hats were/are hard banned. Like unless it was for religious reasons you really couldn't even think about putting something on your head.

Cell phones were also banned in my youth but I guess times have changed?

Soulcreator ,

So precisely how long are vegans able to survive without suffering ill effects? Because I mean we've all heard of people who have lived on that diet long term, so at what point do the wheels start to fall off so to speak? Is there some kind of extended latency period where you are okay before you get sick, or are vegan influencers just pretending to be healthy?

Also your how do you propose we change our agricultural practices so that our food supply isn't tainted by sick meat grown in poor conditions? There's a lot of evidence that there's not enough land mass on earth to feed everyone a diet of free range grass fed beef. Or do you propose we run full steam ahead with factory farming and damn the consequences?

Soulcreator ,

Yes i understand what you are getting at there, but my question is precisely how long does one have before the wheels fall off while eating a strict vegan diet? Are we talking a matter of days, weeks, months, years, or decades?

Soulcreator ,

Totally agreed, the question is so vague it's absurd. Are we talking a panda or a grizzly? Is the man a locked-in paraplegic or an violent ex con?

Regardless how you answer there's always another possibility that makes your decision look stupid.

Soulcreator ,

While I understand and respect your viewpoint, I'm not quite sure you understand what I'm saying here... The question is designed to be a no win scenario, it's phrased in such a vague way that no matter how you answer someone else can chime in and say oh no, your not imagining the terrible scenario I'm imagining. There's literally no way of answering it in a way that someone is going to chime in and tell your wrong.

It's literally designed to be a test designed to gauge your reaction more than it is to be answered seriously.

Without more info one can't possibly respond in a legitimate manner. And any responses without additional information is more of a mirror to your own personal disposition and fears than it is a legitimate response to the question.

Why do we always assume the ones who don't vote aren't going to vote to run us off the cliff?

My frustration with the get out and vote push is that there is always this weird assumption that the ones who aren't voting are some how going to magically push things into the "right" direction. What if we are all better off if they don't vote?

Soulcreator ,

Could you clarify how not voting is specifically a fascist statement?

Like what if there aren't any fascists on the ballot? Or why would not voting only be a vote towards fascism rather than towards libertarian, anarchism, moderatism or any other kind of "ism" out there?
