Resolved Question: Do you believe this story about a girl who's never eaten anything but fries and chicken nuggets?
(Sat, 28 Jan 2012 07:21:29 GMT)
And while it says she does have some health problems, the photos look like a relatively healthy woman. I say it must be BS. First, she's not obese. Also, wouldn't a person with such a limited diet have ridiculous vitamin deficiencies? Why doesn't she have rickets at the very least?

Resolved Question: Why does my grandfather want to go back to the UK of his childhood/teens/young adulthood?

His version of Britain was from 1937-1966, a horrible time if you ask me and here is why I think it was horrible -
GREAT DEPRESSION & WORLD WAR II for starters!
Here is also what this country like during his youth days
A time where everyone was racist and hated anyone who wasn't white.
A time where the flag of this country was everywhere and people were patriotic
A time where an old man could go to prison for having a relationship with a 16-year old boy

Resolved Question: Burqa wearing mothers giving birth to diseased, deformed babies, in UK?

There is a large surge in babies having rickets due to their mothers hiding in potato sacks all day. They suffer from Vitamin D deficiency, and pass this lack onto their children, who wind up being a burden on British tax payers.
Another good reason to ban the burqa.

But the diet led to her daughters having growth problems, both being below average height and weight for children of their age, with reduced bone density and very skinny arms and legs.

Resolved Question: Vegans: would you say that you got positive health out of becoming a vegan?

Trolls tell me that veganism is unhealthy because they heard a story every 2 months of a vegan kid getting rickets and therefore veganism kills you. Even though a story like this appears every 2 months or so, they overlook every positive story there is.
I have certainly gained better health from becoming a vegan, what about you?

Resolved Question: Should Burkas be banned in public places in britain? (the ones that cover everything other than the eyes)?
(Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:42:26 GMT)
In my opinion, YES they should, here's why i think they should...
Burkas are a health hazard, because women who wear them are not getting the sunlight they need and so are not getting the Vitamin D they need (which is naturally produced by the action of sunlight on the skin) a lack of vitamin D can increase their risk of cancer, diabetes and bone diseases, it also has wider ranging health benefits.
smoking was a lifestyle choice just like wearing the burka is, so why ban smoking in ALL public

Resolved Question: The first humans (by humans I mean Homo sapiens) were pale to tan skinned?
(Wed, 04 Feb 2009 22:30:39 GMT)
Assuming the date of the birth of humans (Homo sapiens) was around 150,000 years ago, and the location in East Asia, I would imagine that the first humans emerged smack in the middle of an Ice Age, at a time even eastern Africa, a place so near the equator, was cool and lacking in sunlight. Thus, if the date and location of the first humans is correct, the first humans must have had pale to tanned skin, similar to modern Europeans and East Asians, so that they could survive in such locations.

Resolved Question: Should we all become vegans?

A Government advisory group is apparently urging the Government to ensure that we all become vegans, ie no fish or animal products whatsoever.They are concerned about the amount of methane gas given off by cattle etc. In that case why the hell didn't we have global warming before the arrival of the Industrial Revolution? The report apparently says that the public should be introduced quite gently to this because there is likely to be strong resistance. You wouldn't chuckle. How dare they.
