Fail Quotes

That's just it: basically this guy says that anarchism means "without rulers" (which it does), but then he goes on about how we shouldn't have free and voluntary exchange! Well, HOW'S HE GOING TO STOP IT??? Doesn't he need rulers to do that?

It's like Hawkeye (and I) have said about a thousand times.  If people are engaging in voluntary transactions with no initiation of force/fraud involved (e.g. working for a mutually agreed upon wage in exchange for labor) but it's something they personally disapprove of, are they going to stop them?  By force if necessary?  If so, congratulations, they just invented government.  As they would be ruling over them by forcing them not to have voluntary transactions (How this is different from enforcing a law from a full-on government is semantic bickering at best, distraction and dishonest at worst).

Hence why the so-called 'anarcho'-communist parts of Spain during their Civil War in the 1930s were so statist--for one example, they decreed the death penalty for the use of money.  WTF you guys.  It was just a state by any other name.  You can call a dog a cat, but that won't make it 'meow' as I think a family member of yours once said.

As me and Hawkeye and many others have also said, if they want to start up a commune/communist place themselves, we are totally fine with that; so long as everyone voluntarily consents to it, we don't have a problem nor would we try to stop them (though we might try to voluntarily convince them otherwise using economic arguments and examples like Plymouth Plantation).  This is the thing that blow everyone's minds.  If you want to subjugate yourself before some holy authority, well, in a truly free society you ARE free to do that.  It's only when you try to force others into it that we have a problem.

All of the above are win articles on the subjects of health and the human body.
The only exception that really sticks out for me is #4 in the first/top article I linked.  I don't buy that about fish.  Especially in light of the meta study www.YouTube/user/ThatGuyFromAustria linked to in one of his anti-vegan videos which showed that in terms of lifespan from longest to shortest:

1) People who eat fish, but not meat
2) Vegetarians
3) people who eat fish and meat
4) Vegans

Then you have the Japanese who tend to eat lots of fish yet last I checked aren't in the midst of a population wide metallic poisoning crisis, are generally healthy, and live long too.  So it's more of a matter of "unhealthy compared to what?"

To add to this, the bit about artificial sweeteners (in both articles with it) I found debunked by this (not fail):  http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/artificial-sweeteners-bitter-controversy/

And I checked Christina's Source for the bit on fish.  The main source?  The EPA.  Seriously?  The same EPA that is one of the worst polluters of all is supposed to tell me how to be free of toxins?  Does anyone *not* see how that is "taking financial advice from a hobo" levels of dumb?  The guidelines they give (no more than 12 oz. of fish like Salmon and Tuna per week) raises a few red flags with me.  First, if the stuff does bio-acclumulate, why would that matter?  Wouldn't you still get more of it and be worse off in time regardless of that limit?  Her other source?  Yahoo.shine.  Yeah.  I didn't even dignify that one by reading it.

I should note that this is the same limit my nutritionist suggested for me in terms of fish.  I pointed out the Inuit and others eat almost nothing but fish and (last I checked) aren't all dead from Hg poisoning, and pointed out the above meta-study regarding health of people who eat fish being better (or at least living longer) than the rest of them.  She blew both off and said, "it's because of coal/oil tankers dripping/spilling coal/oil in the ocean.  Even their fish and waters are effected."  Which still didn't address my need for empirical evidence.  Until I see a study (or at least newspaper article) showing that the Japanese or Inuit or any other population eating huge amounts of fish are suffering population-wide Hg poisoning, I will take all that with a grain of salt.
Similar reasoning with eggs and the Japanese as well.  I'll wait until I see that on those foods before I take those warning seriously.  Until then:

So without government we will just be bumbling idiots?

-No, Roads don't pave themselves. but why must Government do it?
-I did not consent to the deal: adults should not be forced to hand over shit to others. That is the job of children and slaves.
-I'm largely anti-war: I don't want to pay for some jag-off in the white house to play "game of drones" with my people, or while we're at it, any people.

[MrBogosity]

Government doesn't even pave the roads--they hire private companies to do it!

The argument that there's no other way to fund a war is another reason to END taxes!

The funny thing is I'm lactose intolerant.  He does know that most dairy doesn't contain lactose?  Cheese, ice cream, yogurt, kefir, etc, are all devout of the stuff, OP, stop believing everything you see on TV, and on Tumblr, damnit!

As a white dude that doesn't drink milk, I think this might be the single most idiotic thing I've ever seen.

For real, Shane, you might want to consider locking this thread because we're not topping this.
