it is pretty basic what is BS and what is not. if you learned it in school and then someone is saying that the basic scientific facts you learned there--like round earth, gravity, evolution, etc--are not and cannot be true , like the flat earth 'theory', then it is BS
they should at least have a warning that 'the following video is opinion and is not based in accepted scientific fact'
i am telling you, ppl our age ( i am guessing that many of us here are somewhere north of 35?) group can normally detect what is BS and what is not. many young ppl and kids cannot. they have not been taught in school to be able to think and discern what is factual and what is not. they have mainly only been 'taught to the test (SAT, ACT, other standardized testing) and are all too willing to believe what they see on the net especially if it is produced and presented in a professional and 'education like' manner.
someone has to save the children!

Children are a different matter. They need to be protected from things that they don't understand or can't cope with yet as much as possible. This includes social networking. Just as a standalone issue, far too many children have gotten in trouble with that. Under 18 ought to be banned for that reason alone.
But there is more.
Unfortunately, social networking is becoming the default conversation medium for local, state and national issues. This will unavoidably involve discussions unsuited for children. If this medium wants to be the national discussion forum, it ought to respect free speech. That means no censorship at all. This will result in topics unsuitable for children.
Just because the baby can't eat steak should not mean that the adults have to eat baby food.

If you're gonna censor stuff to protect the stupid, maybe we ought to have an intelligence test for the voting booth?

First off grandpa, kids don't use Twitter nor FB beyond the surface. They use Snapchat and IG, bc it's mainly picture oriented and fun.
FB is mostly used by middle-aged moms and dads who enjoy posting anything from cat pics to missing children notices and idiotic theories such as flat earth where they thrive due to peer confirmations.
I've grown in the 90s with social network that could be considered like an early FB. That's how I met my first GF, that's where we found our party pics, etc. Not a single thing about politics bc they don't care.
You're just mad because those that got banned espouse your PoV on many things, you support that militia convict. Rules are simple, speech that incite hate are not tolerated, simple as bacon. If I go full communist and start asking for capitalist scum heads ill be banned just as much as those jarheads promoting radical right ideas.Spoiler:I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

Originally posted by jelgate View PostBecause you have the rare Australian bacon
It's 5 star product cooked badly, whereas US or Canadian bacon is 3 star bacon cooked better. This is why I cook more Asian, Italian or Indian food, it's cared about more.
Australian cooking reflects our worldview to an extent, we have all this good stuff, but we waste it, cause chill out bro. No need to mix dark soy and light soy and oyster sauce and cooking wine (and 5 spice, and all of the rest of it) to make a good final product, just throw it on the grill and let it happen.
It can produce fantastic results, it can also produce really crappy ones when you don't pay attention.
I think you know what I am saying here.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

Of course I earn the bacon because you are being hypocritical again. Not only are you slowly changing the subject.but your narrative is based on a false premise. Such gullibility is not exclusive to just minors. Their are plenty of adults bullying others on the InternetOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

Originally posted by Annoyed View PostYou have earned no bacon. Are you totally ignorant of the number of young people who have trouble or worse as a result of social networking? The modern definition of bullying is purely the result of kids calling each other names on social networks, something kids have been doing since there were kids. Never mind the number of kids who have been lured by preverts and the like. They aren't mature enough to handle it.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

Kangaroo's lack the fat based skin to create what we would consider bacon.
It's lean meat, it's strong in flavour and for want of a better term "gamey". it's like duck. It's nice in limited doses, but not a very good staple diet (unless you have no choice, or like that flavour)
I CAN cook a duck to have skin, I have yet to see a recepie that includes kangaroo skin though.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth
