Vegetarians are less healthy than meat-eaters, a controversial study has concluded, despite drinking less, smoking less and being more physically active than their carnivorous counterparts. As expected, people are in an uproar about the results.
0611C5
The study, conducted at Medical University of Graz in Austria found that the vegetarian diet carries elevated risks of cancer, allergies and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.
Based on comprehensive data from the Austrian Health Survey, researchers examined the dietary habits and lifestyle differences between meat-eaters and vegetarians.
The more than 1300 subjects were cross-referenced according to their age, sex, and socioeconomic status to minimize external variables.
Overall, the comprehensive study found that while vegetarians drank less alcohol, ate fewer calories, and had lower body mass indexes they were still suffered from poorer overall physical and mental health across all ages.
Vegetarians were also found to have poorer overall health practices, such as missing more doctors appointments, skipping preventative check-ups, and avoiding recommended vaccines for themselves and their children, according to the study.
It concluded: “Our study has shown that Austrian adults who consume a vegetarian diet are less healthy (in terms of cancer, allergies, and mental health disorders), have a lower quality of life, and also require more medical treatment.”
Epidemiologist and study coordinator Nathalie Burkert said: “We did find that vegetarians suffer more from certain conditions like asthma, cancer and mental illnesses than people that eat meat as well, but we cannot say what is the cause and what is the effect.
“There needs to be further study done before this question can be answered.”
Sounds like the answer is simple… BACON!

Get fucked, vegfags
>I eat healthier so therefore I don't need to exercise or go to the doctor as often
>Dies
The study is worded in a way that suggests it's based on pseudoscientific logic rather than conventional reasoning:
>Overall, the comprehensive study found that while vegetarians drank less alcohol, ate fewer calories, and had lower body mass indexes they were still suffered from poorer overall physical and mental health across all ages.
>Vegetarians were also found to have poorer overall health practices, such as missing more doctors appointments, skipping preventative check-ups, and avoiding recommended vaccines for themselves and their children, according to the study.
In other words, the subjects had poor health practices to begin with. Being a vegetarian isn't necessarily a correlating factor, so much as the subjects' own refusal to get regular checkups and be proactive about their health and the health of those around them. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation The conclusion could have been based on literally *any* other factor that the subjects happened to have in common.
It wouldn't be any surprise if people attracted to concepts like "alternative medicine" had some overlap with vegetarians. Of course such individuals would be more likely to ignore early warning signs of cancer, and instead insist on faith-based medicine, or some similar nonsense. Modern medicine doesn't do us any good if we choose not to take advantage of it.
>In a surprising decision from Canada's Supreme Court, the country's top judges ruled that forcing a dog to perform oral sex is not, in fact, bestiality and therefore not necessarily illegal.
>The ruling essentially invites Parliament to get to work and fix that.
>The case before the court involves an unnamed man, accused of forcing the family dog to perform oral sex on his underage daughter. The man was convicted of a litany of sexual offences in relation to the abuse, and sentenced to 14 years in jail. On one charge of bestiality, however, he was acquitted on appeal.
>His case was surprisingly complex. His lawyers contended that Parliament had never intended to criminalize oral sex with animals. Instead, they argued before the court, the charge, which carries no formal definition in the Criminal Code, was linked to 'buggery' — a similar charge also criminalized homosexual acts — and therefore required penetration.
>The Government of Canada, as well as Animal Justice — an animal rights group — argued that the court ought to take a common sense approach to the law and naturally consider any sexual contact with animals as wrong, abusive, and illegal.

What a sad world we live in.
And so, the great furry pilgrimage began.
Joking aside, I'm more disturbed that this guy forced his dog to do that to his daughter.

If there's one thing law makes don't have, it's common sense.

Decided I'd post here before putting this opinion on Facebook.
Why has Brock Turner's rape case been given so much attention? There are plenty of rapes that occur on college campuses every year, where some rapist's punishment is actually more lenient than the one handed down to Brock Turner. How come media and society have decided that it would be Turner's case to blow up?

Easy, because it fits their ultra liberal agenda and the story is full of buzz words that just inflame public opinion. It's pure yellow journalism.
because a white athlete who makes money for his school gets better treatment than a person of color who doesnt.

wheres the other thread, which was longer? damn it!!
>A federal judge on Monday unsealed disturbing dashcam footage of a suburban Kansas City, Missouri, police officer tasering a 17-year-old motorist who became brain damaged after what was billed as a routine traffic stop. That stop subsequently turned into an event of excessive force—resulting in a four-year prison sentence for Officer Timothy Runnels of the Independence Police Department.
>The video shows Runnels tase and yank Bryce Masters out of the car and down on the street as Masters howls. The boy was filming the officer with his mobile phone, which the officer flings to the street. "Am I under arrest? Am I under arrest?" the teen is overheard saying before he is stunned and grabbed from the vehicle.
>The officer drags the boy on the street like a sack of potatoes then drops him face first to the ground. During the brief 2014 incident, the boy, who was going to play Xbox with a friend, went into cardiac arrest and now suffers from brain damage. The traffic stop was based on a warrant from Kansas City, which turned out to be a mistake connected to the license plate on the vehicle the boy was driving. The officer claimed he also smelled marijuana and that the teen was being uncooperative.
>The boy nearly died and was placed in a brief medically induced coma. The stun gun discharged and hit the boy near his heart for 20 seconds. He can be overheard weeping as the officer drags him following the Taser hit.

>For the Americans, the most important part of Mr. Modi’s visit was his announced intention to formally join the Paris climate change agreement by the end of this year. So far, countries representing about 50 percent of global emissions have announced that they will submit legal paperwork to the United Nations documenting their compliance with the deal.
>The pact will become binding when at least 55 countries representing 55 percent of global emissions formally join. The inclusion of India, the world’s third-largest emitter after China and the United States, would guarantee that the deal will go into effect before the next American president takes office.

Ya as a clinton supporter some people think this is somehow a good thing for clinton. It isn't. It will fire up sanders supporters and keep happy clinton supporters home. The effect may not be huge but it will be there. Look at clintons press release about it.

Does anyone remember the famous election that the news called too soon? Like polling had closed in the east coast and there were still hours of polling to be done on the west coast, but the news was already like "politician A has won?" How did it play out that time? I can't find the right google keywords to get it to come up.
you can't make this shit up.

There are now just 25 days until school doors could close across the state. The decision hinges on if the legislature will meet the court mandate handed down by the Kansas Supreme Court to properly fund schools.
>>48331
They can't fund them because the set the tax rate at 0% and wonder why the state doesn't have any revenue. You can't have a fee and penalty driven governmental budget like they seem to think.
>>48348
Listen you liberal fuck, why should I jave to pay taxes. Its a free country, which means my money should be free. Some people would say paying a tax is like paying rent, a fee that you pay to live in that space and get any of the accomodations that come along with it. Well I think that taxes is just the government comin into my home, Reaching deep into my pockets then fucking me in the ass. Thats alls it is, government coming to fuck me in the ass. Thats why we gotta abolish all taxes. God bless america.
I used to live in Kansas. That place is the worst.

I'm more concerned with the San Jose stuff
>Those people that don't agree with us are Nazis! Let's all go suppress their opinions to show them how Nazi they are!
Followed by San Jose's mayor pretty much condoning it and the police doing nothing.
What kind of message does that send?
That it's okay to attack people you don't agree with politically.
Doesn't matter if you support Clinton, Trump, Sanders, or Vermin Fucking Supreme, that shit should not be okay.
There sure are some gullible people on this board. I'll just leave this here.

Obama didnt do anything different than the last three presidents before him, and Hilary will continue that trend.
Fuck the establishment. We havent had a president with his own ideas since Jimmy fucking Carter
Complete fucking bullshit. Clinton 2.0, except he fucked up more. Hate to say it, he's one of the worst Democrats EVER.

>(Shillary) He's going to Trump YOU!
Is that a bad thing? I guess getting trumped means better job security and not having to fear another ISIS attack. It means no more ObamaCare, Common Core, and illegal immigrants. She says it like it's such a bad thing but in reality it's pretty sweet. She just tried to throw some dirt and fell short. The debates are going to be easy for Trump.
>>50788
Yet he still fucks it up, every time.
I'll vote for him simply to spite Hillary, but I wish he'd just shut the fuck up.
