most states require farmers to put additives in their cow feed to specifically prevent those mushrooms, they are already actively regulated

caffeine addictions are good for you? so i guess all of the people taking stomach meds are doing it for fun and not how much coffee wrecks your stomach. also the number of our teens/young adults addicted to energy drinks is insane and no one can argue that stuff isnt a net negative to the body

And? How about you compare the gdp between those and let me know how it goes out. Also don't forget to include free health care in the comparison

One person's anecdotal experience doesn't negate how bad the economy is and how many people are losing the ability to pay rent

Sometimes the wild animal that attacked a person is still in the area, but I agree with you in general the signs are not helping prevent deaths

Ahh yes operation fast and furious, conservatives favorite gotcha that is in no way comparable to the current administration in terms of extremeness or cruelness. And good job using ageism to try and win your terrible argument, it was a really compelling argument

Screw worms existing before Trump doesn't make it a bipartisan issue. Trump cut the funding, did Democrats do too? So then no only one party ignored and actively defunded it, making it exactly a partisan issue. Good job trying to cover for trump, it's extra pathetic here

Trump's gop has been extreme to levels not seen for generations so yes it is quite new. Previously Republicans attempted to pretend they cared about a number of things, now if they hate gays and Democrats and foreigners enough publicly, that's the only thing they need to be elected

Ooh I need to try that hint out, having it decide I'm a breaking the rules 70% through a reverse engineering implementation is annoying. I fear access to that type of tech will be more limited on the future but I also understand it

as a rockhounder i was recently introduced to the idea that each bomb dropped is given its own name for unique recombinations of matter(trinitite, hiroshimite, etc) and that for a while they let people just collect it and its in circulation in rock shops

There is a huge difference between general conspiracy theories and the birther lie which was more racist astroturfing than a legitimate conspiracy

At no point did I excuse Obama. I said the scale and horror are not the same. Trump scaled up the budget and number of employees, lowered the requirements to enter and actively encouraged(and supported at the supreme court) to bring back racial profiling. These 2 administrations are in now way comparable

They are absolutely different. They flagrantly deny the courts and are going door to door and harassing and detaining a higher percentage of people without criminal background. The scale and brazenness(and also the end game, this is 1 year into trump) of this administration is in no way comparable to Obamas and to claim otherwise is ridiculous

Casting helping black people as a lost cause is not him deciding not to be an ally. It's him literally spreading racist rhetoric about black people as a whole
