Um:

QuoteBut for those who choose to volunteer their time at an unpaid internship, don't call it slave labor. Sure, unpaid internships are voluntary, classist, and unnecessary. That doesn't change that they are voluntary.

Not much for editing her sentences for coherency, is she?

I really need to avoid Tumblr.  The second post/comment on the top text area is just lame.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obese

"People are considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of the person's height in meters, exceeds 30 kg/m^2.[3]"

Seriously Wikipedia?  Seriously?  Their 3rd source--the one used for that quote--is from the WHO.  Between this and their bogus study on UHC, as if I needed another reason to not take them seriously...
As Shane, and even Christina H of cracked.com have pointed out, BMI is not a good metric for that.  It doesn't differentiate between lean body mass and fat for one.  Second, it includes height, which isn't exactly relevant.  Finally, that metric listed is the one used for men.  Women can have a higher body fat % until they are considered obese.

My personal favorite is when I took the world's tallest person ever (8'11'' and 460 lbs) it said he had a BMI of > 40 making him obese...yet look at the pictures of the guy.  He is normal.

Actually, to me he looks kind of skinny.  This may be a combination of not having filled out completely (men typically continue to gain width until about 25, and he died at 22) and being in poor health (he had a form of acromegally, the same hormonal disorder that Andre the Giant famously had, and eventually died from) and other health problems as well.  Robert Wadlow didn't live long enough to have pronounced secondary effects to his appearance but dud develop serious leg problems before he died.

His BMI, incidentally, was 27.

Which was why I deleted that part.  I did the did the calculation again and found I was wrong originally.  And yeah, I got about 27 for the re calculation.  Derp.

Oh and some more Fail look at some of these comments

QuoteRight on Putin!

Since unnatural homosexual relationships take out the essential element of reproduction out of life they are left with a terrible void in their lives. So how do homosexuals fill this void?? recruiting. They seek out young impressionable people of the same sex and convince them their lifestyle is "normal" and that its not a choice but somehow you are born that way which is a complete lie. Homosexuality is a choice and and abnormal one at that. The only thing that keeps there degradation of humanity going is recruitment.


QuoteTo be attracted to little kids is unnatural. But so is matting with members of the same sex. Offended? Don't believe me? Let me ask you something, can you make a baby with someone too young? Can you make a baby with someone from the same sex (naturally without science)? No? Well, there is a reason why, and it is because it is unnatural. The only purpose of sex, is to reproduce, anything else is extra, like the fact that it feels good. So if matting with members of the same sex feels good to you, you are "gay" out of lust. Because there is no other reason to be gay, other than having sex with members of the same gender. And if sex did not feel good, nobody would be gay. Just because you want to go against the grain, does not mean the ENTIRE WORLD has to be okay with it or jump on the bandwagon. There is nothing else, and that is called the bottom line.

Out of three callers, only one had some common sense to realize that these cops were CLEARLY in the wrong.

It's still hard for me to believe that we are really that far gone as a society. It's hard for me to believe that so many people will support the police no matter what atrocious acts they commit. Unfortunately, this is the sad truth.

QuoteGMOs have been proven to cause cancer. I don't know enough about the subject to really engage in this discussion but I can see how GMOs that internally produce their own pesticides would be bad for you. What's poison to pests is poison to us too.

Somebody doesn't understand how poison works.

QuoteYou want to spend another 20 years testing GMO before putting it into the public, sure...but all the tumors and poisons and toxins (yes, they are different) involved...no thanks assholes.

fear mongering an unsubstantiated claims meant to poison the well by spout ing off scary words.

Quote..if this is true (That GMOs aren't Evil Incarnate), then why have so many countries burned GMO crops, and refused to accept them from the US?

I don't know why do some countries ban marijuana? Why do some cultures ban and/or burn "seditious" or "blasphemous" material? Why were people executed for being witches?

Quotehow is it dangerous , field testing is done in a field, in fields there is no "stringent lab" its a field, next to the next field.

Again, not knowing what a term means.
